Can't lie, I'm impressed at the effort s they're going to here. Also really keen to see how it rides and if there's much of a difference once it's finished.

Easily Europa Park. Phantasialand is horrendously overrated for me - don't get me wrong, Taron and all of Klugheim looks amazing. But it's literally Taron. Most other things in the park were meh. Sure, it's pretty (and I haven't been since F.L.Y) but there's an awful lot of dead space as well as...

If it's a COMPLETE re-track can I count it as a new cred?

I have no idea what this is but if I remember I'm in.

Love this idea. Can't remember which ride it was I'm thinking of that did similar but I remember thinking hang on there's empty trains coming through. Minor changes - I'd add another bunny hop or two to the end of Rita.

I might as well just start screenshotting my RCT builds at this point because they're just as likely to end up looking like the finished product.

I would bet my left bollock that 90% of the renderings shown so far won't be anything like what any eventual finished park looks like. It's all about driving interest and investment so that those involved can carry on filling their pockets.

Yeah the trade off with not using 'unique' as a selling point is to have a really strong brand. Things like Thomasland, Peppa Pig World, Nickelodeon Land all did massively well for parks without being marketed solely as 'unique' and that's because of the strength and recognition of the brand...

Chair of the LRCH is the ex Conservative mayor of London and they keep being granted farcical delays hmmmmmm nothing to see here folks

Depends on the country, the target market and the brand tbh. In the UK, there is a monumental over-reliance on uniqueness as a selling point. It's why ALL of the recent marketing from major parks is aimed around highlighting how unique something is, whether it be world firsts or tallest/biggest...

Keep an eye out for CF-lives that have their own forum, or are mentioned on the various CF social media. Just posting in the thread that you'll be coming along is usually enough for most of them. 100% - although you may find it helpful to talk to people on the forums and get familiar with them...

That Channel 4 thing at Alton was utterly dreadful as a programme - but was a brilliantly smart bit of marketing.

There's two very distinctive groups within the GP category you could be referring to with regards to PMBO - those who have ridden it and those who haven't. For many people, it's as iconic as the Tower is and when they think of Blackpool it's one of the first things they think of, they...

Don't touch most thrill rides for this very reason tbh. Just don't enjoy the sensation of sickness/dizziness. Coaster-wise, I made a foolish mistake a few months back - had quite bad dizziness and vertigo after one of my jabs, pretty much cleared up so had forgotten about it when we went to...

Only here to say McDonalds all over Europe pisses all over what we have in the UK but specifically in Spain/Italy, the variety is great. Particularly in Spain, having GF option for buns for literally any burger is amazing.

I heard it's an Aquatrax.

Any excuse to go back to Madrid is fine with me. I'd be surprise if they went for a big statement coaster tbh given what they already have but on the flip side, they haven't invested in years and they've got such an untapped market domestically.

It's almost as if someone regular on the forums was/is employed by the park and knows full-well the sort of 'easter eggs' that would get the community to fall over itself in excitement........

Was what my general understanding was - admittedly this was the near-immediate reaction rather than figures 18 months later or so - but I don't recall ever seeing anything that suggested it was a huge success?
