    Corkscrew (Flamingo Land) Age

    Haha, that's the advert I came across as well when I waa trying to confirm the opening. This topic never came up though otherwise I'd have posted it here. There's a real lack of photos/maps for Flamingo Land (the theme park half) before 1990.

    Best coaster layout?

    I think I was unclear... I agree Son of Beast had an awful layout, certainly not worth keeping at all. With almost the same height RMC have packed a fantastic layout in to Steel Vengeance.

    Storage of park maps

    Just in a drawer. But I always take two, and stick one up on the wall in my room at my parent's house. I hardly ever look at them anyway

    Best coaster layout?

    Not the best rides, but I find the layout of the large Schwarzkopf loopers (Olympia Looping, Texas Tornado (RIP), Mindbender etc) very pleasing. Probably the best use of a tight space. Compare Son of Beast to Steel Vengeance. Same height, yet Steel Veangeance manages to do so much more despite...

    WTF Merlin?

    No way... this is probably the most WTF thing I've seen in this thread. I know it's technically stating facts but it's coming across as a dig at Labour to me. Theme parks and politics need to be kept separate! :( If anyone form Alton Towers is reading this, try improving your veggie options...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    On one hand I'm just glad Blackpool is finally installing a new coaster. The park is full of roller coasters with boring names and another one doesn't matter that much. On the other, I think the half-assed Japanese theme, and posts with the owners names, both look stupid and I feel it would be...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Ok, I don't remember it at all in the announcement. Shame they didn't give it a Japanese name to match

    IMAX; yay or nay?

    I don't watch films myself but when I go with my family we just get the cheapest 2D tickets. The cinema is so expensive to begin with. If a friend wanted to see it in IMAX sure I would go with them but personally cinema is just too expensive.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Thanks @ATI The ride itself looks fantastic IMO, better than I thought it would. Also nice to see some good looking merchandise, although I still wish they would call it something else. And when did it start having a Japanese (?) aesthetic?

    Best non-Nemesis UK Coaster

    If only Rita had lapbars! I remember it feeling quite rattly when I rode in 2014

    Best non-Nemesis UK Coaster

    Taking away Nemesis it's the Ultimate for me! Stealth is a great coaster but over very quickly. Swarm, Smiler and Oblivion off the top of my head. I gave up on rankings ages ago

    New rides @ small parks

    It is confusing, but I think it's Cedeal Rides since the statistics on the ride website match.

    Future of Flamingo Land?

    Last year they opened "Flamingo 1", some sort of go-kart track but with guiderails. They took out some buildings and the Professor Bubble's ride for it. http://www.flamingoland.co.uk/theme-park/family-rides/flamingo-1.html Maybe there is still hope for that new woodie on Corkscrew's spot?

    Parkitect Theme Park Sim

    Thanks for the update! I purchased this game a while back, looks like it's improved a lot since I last played! Building coasters felt a bit clunkier than RCT, hopefully they will add building backwards soon. This game has great potential, and it's nice having more modern rides like the Wing...

    Dorney Park removes Stinger

    Yeah, I've never been on any type of Boomerang before. I've heard good things about the ones with new trains.

    Dorney Park removes Stinger

    Not bad considering how many they've built! These look fun, hopefully this doesn't become a trend

    Dorney Park removes Stinger

    Looks like Stinger is being scrapped, based on this photo

    How crowded do you like an amusement park?

    B, as often they won't run rides for a single person, so I end up waiting anyway. Also it's nice to see how other people react to the rides. I'd rather not have to wait if I don't have to though. I'll be patient, but I wouldn't queue if I didn't have to

    Alton Tower Busses

    That would be great! Sounds like bus is a non starter, even if it is running I'm not going all that way for half a day
