Urgh. I hope they have a good reason for this.

Isn't Southport getting one of these? Two trains? On a Boomerang? I suppose they can have a spare in the shed. 😂

Schwarzkopf. The end. 😁

Carters Steam Fair is up for sale and needs a buyer. https://www.carterssteamfair.co.uk/this-is-our-final-tour-carters-steam-fair-is-for-sale/

:eek: That really sucks! What a story!

Some pretty shocking information in this update here. (See the linked documents.) Specifically these two pages.

The layout differs slightly. The Looping Stars don't have track going through the loop and said loop is positioned along the "front" edge of the footprint whereas the Silver Arrow loops are more central and a bit diagonal. :cool: Nice report! Glad Scorpion opened for you!

Sounds like you'd better go and help. 😂 I tend to skim over Dreamland news now because it's always depressing. Hopefully they can drag some rides back into operation.

I recently finally joined the cult of tower of terror in California (so the guardians version). Loved it! Obviously Mystery castle is also great. For the non-theatrical ones, I'd say Dalton Terror and Anubis for their prolonged air time. Hangover is also good. You also can't forget the...

I quite like a day at Thorpe. It always gives me nostalgia for when I used to visit as a teenager. I like the setting with the lake and some of the themed areas. I also like their flat selection and a decent amount of their coasters and flats are rerideable. My two main issues with the park are...

I don't think this has been mentioned before on this thread but there's a website selling the Funtime 'Skyfall" drop tower (a very similar model/the same model depending on how you consider it) states that the maximum height is 1.9m or 6ft 2. https://rideentertainment.com/tower-rides-skyfall/

A few days ago Fox News asked other parks for comments on their drop towers in response to the incident. A lot of them are rides from different manufacturers but Hansa Park gave this response: Source...

I haven't personally been there but I feel like lots of people are going to say Fuji-Q due to their rain policy! I have heard lots of horror stories about ride closures there. For me it mostly depends on four things, how busy it is, how bad the cred or ride anxiety is, how bad the operations...

To be fair King's Island did it with Vortex where they put out a post saying it would stick around and then it went but I don't know the exact timescales.

Hope they don't run it at the speed and duration of the Southport one. I convinced everyone to ride it and the cycle was way too long! I felt a bit guilty after! 😂 Some of the fair ones look even worse. They do look quite jazzy though. Mixtape was a bit ugly.

Today I learnt that urinals flush. 😂

The halfpipe look very interesting! I'm still confused about the 25 flushes. EDIT: Are they factoring in staff here? So you get an allocation of staff flushes to go with your customer count? 😂

I had forgotten about the Viking coaster! Absolutely disgusting!

Not long to go now!

Ride to Happiness. The rest. RTH is my favourite followed by the Maurer spinners. I'd say either Dragon's Fury, Tarantula or Winjas is my next favourite. I like a good Maurer spinner. There are probably some others that I like as well that I can't remember. Euro-mir is quite fun. The Sierra...
