Re: WC16 | Thorpe Park | New ??? for 2016 Something worth noting, we may have a potential reveal date coming up very soon. All speculation, but Derren Brown posted that his new TV show is being aired on the 12th of January. Seems like a perfect opportunity to start putting out some adverts for...

Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2017 But the bigger one had an RCT3 model, it's totally legit! :lol: Ha in all seriousness though that was never going to happen, doubt we'll see anything approaching, let alone taller than the big one, and that's no bad thing. I am slightly bias as it's...

Thing is, I don't think Blade is included in the list of rides to be shut next year. I am really hoping this isn't true, but it would certainly make sense. As mentioned Flume and Ripsaw are at the end of their lives, so it's hardly surprising to see them go, but doing it in the same year is...

Their PR team isn't filling me with much faith at the moment...

Wow... Just wow... Merlin have reached a new low. This will not help them one bit. They need to draw in more people, not drive them away. I do understand removing The Flume and Ripsaw, as neither offer a satisfactory ride experience at the moment, but removing both at the same time?! It's...

So which flats/creds are actually worth going on at Winter Wonderland? I wasn't going to go this year, as I have heard waaaay too much about how expensive it is, but the hangover gyro drop tower is way to tempting.

I visited Fear a couple of weeks back as it's also my local scream park and I must admit I had a rather different opinion. I absolutely loved it, it's definitely up there as one of the best events in the UK in my opinion. I've done a full review of the event on my blog, complete with pictures...

Ha sounds so much more intense than the Alton Towers face it alone experience! I did Terror of the Towers Alone and it was fantastic, but very different from what you're describing. At alton they pretty much just made it very hands on, with about 4 actors swarming you at all times. Shoved...

Well, Thorpe Park was a bit **** this year wasn't it? Again, shamelessly plugging my blog here if you want to read my full review: https://controllersandcreds.wordpress.c ... ts-review/ Containment An interesting concept poorly executed. The tasks were either too simple or ridiculously...

So after years of wanting to visit, I finally made the long trip from Dorset to Blackburn. Was it worth it? Oh my god, yes, absolutely! I won't lie, Scare Kingdom is the best scream park I have ever visited! Screamland Margate is right up there with it too. So this year the theme is the 7...

Ha oh my god, I think that might just be the best review ever! Ha I am still typing up my full review for my blog, but in short it was stunning! Festino's is the best carnival attraction I have ever done, completely tramples over Big Top. Abramacabre is a perfect family attraction, and Final Cut...

So i've done a couple of scare events already this year, and Twisted Attractions Hellfest was definitely one of the best! They've seriously upped their game last year and have made an incredible scream park, with 4 attractions: Panic Unlocked, Ward 78 Unrestrained, Terror on the Streets and...

Thanks! Ha yeah think that's my plan to do! Liseberg and Grona Lund look amazing and if I can fit in Kolmarden that would just be amazing! Either way, it will give me enough new creds to make a decent top 5! Must admit though, I am starting to think about Europa for their Halloween event.

Oooh, thanks for the reply! Yeah Liseberg looks fantastic! If it's that easy to get to, and if Grona Lund is easy to get too aswell, that's really rather tempting! Bla Taget looks fantasic, insane, twister and jetline all look brilliant too! Thanks for the advice with Balder! Phantasia looks...

Yeah I agree, it seems too soon, and there's little to no evidence it could be opening this week. Testing appears to be going well and additions are being made, so who knows it could reopen soonish. My bet is they'll either open it a week or two into Scarefest very quietly, or they'll do it a...

Rumour on TPR is that it could be opening up in the next couple of days. Personally i'd expect another couple of weeks, but I guess it is possible.

How exciting! So it's looking like next year i'll finally be visiting my first major European theme park for a cred run! Got a couple of ideas so far as to where to go, but I am fishing for suggestions from all you guys who're likely much more experienced than I am. At the moment I am...

Re: WC16 | Thorpe Park | New ??? for 2016 To be honest now we've seen a brain it just appears to adult for Dr Who. It would be a safer bet for £30 million, but since when have Thorpe gone for safe bets? I can totally see where you're coming from, but to me this is screaming out Derren. The...

Re: WC16 | Thorpe Park | New ??? for 2016 It would be highly surprising if it weren't an IP. Sure the smiler was a successful merlin IP, but that was a coaster not a Dark Ride. Dark Rides rely much more on the theme working, so they likely wouldn't want to risk another Sub Terra and will use an...
