This image was recently shared on Thorpe Parks twitter and Instagram accounts before being deleted shortly after. I'm not going to jump to conclusions about what this means, but both this image and the intalizing for 2020 message have me feeling like they could be teasing something with a...

It looks like the recent planning application for the redevelopment of Adventure Land has been approved. The new Lego Movie area is set to include the UK's first flying theatre, two family drop towers, a new children's play area and the re-theme of squid surfers. Although it won't come close to...

There's this one of Montu, should be clear enough for the artist to copy. Im afraid I can't find anything close to this quality for Kumba though.

Its a tie between Hero at Flamingo Land or Condor at Walibi Holland. being the first SLC constructed its strongly in need of a swift bulldoze, quickly followed by the rest of them. Hero could be made slightly less horrendous by the use of a full body bubble wrap suit.

Looks like the 4pm closes are around for another year, they just released their 2020 calendar.

I didn't even realise there was one in Phantasialand, will have to try it when I go back for FLY next year. 1) Hex - Alton Towers 2) Haunted House Monster Party - Legoland Windsor 3) The Haunting - Drayton Manor 4) Merlin's Castle - Walibi Holland

I was at Thorpe for the weekend, this was my first experience of Fright Nights so I don't really have anything to compare it to. The park felt no different to usual, still lacking atmosphere but this time with some green lighting. Sometimes you'd see a group of actors interact with guests as...

Bilge-Rat is the parks rapids ride, located in the Toon Lagoon area. River Adventure is a different water ride found in the Jurassic Park area.

I'll agree with most people, Valhalla. Tidal Wave at TP is great, but Valhalla is relentless. Especially when that water tunnel is turned on! Bilge-Rat Barges comes a close second. Universal designed it as a soaker due to the hot Florida weather. Definitely my favourite way to cool down when...

It's interesting that the ride is capable of rotating 360 degrees but will come with "A programme that provides a slightly less extreme ride." Being a family park I doubt we'll see the full rotation of the ride, I'm guessing it will be like more Drayton Manors Maelstrom than Axis at Adventure...

This parks been talked about for 12 years, you would have thought more progress would have been made by now if something was going to happen. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a resort of this size two hours from my house. But until construction actually starts I wont be getting my hopes up, I can't...

Its been a couple of years since my last trip to Paultons, really looking forward to seeing this new area. Out of the UK parks I've visited Paultons feels like one of the few who have a clear plan of where they're heading. I agree in thinking their next investment should be a water ride, I could...

Thanks, I'm over there at the end of April so will keep my fingers crossed.

Any guesses for an opening date/month?

There's also one for Valkyria on his channel, can't wait to see what he'll do next.

Pretty sure this is the best off ride footage of a coaster ever filmed, some serious drone skills!

I'd have to agree with you on Taron, after a recent trip to Phantasialand it went straight to the number one spot. But I also really enjoy Stealth, I'm excited to get back to the states and try some of their other launch coasters. Looking at you TTD.

Its interesting reading all the different opinions on the UKs woodies. I think its pretty close between Wicker Man and Megaphobia, but for me Wicker Man wins. Megaphobia has a great first drop and some okay air time but its lacking the theming and layout that Wicker Man offers.

If you wanted to learn more Art of Engineering produced a really good video on the ride system, definitely worth a view.

Tower of Terror has great air time as you're pulled down faster than gravity. There's cables both on top and below the ride vehicle controlling the vertical movement. Really awesome ride system invented by Disney!
