    WTF Merlin?

    I genuinely don’t know if the crowd volumes were really the issue yesterday tbh. I’d say the over selling of fast pass, the 3 minute dispatches, the wildly inaccurate queue times and the ride reliability were what ruined the day. It was busy and that’s absolutely fair enough, but it wasn’t...

    WTF Merlin?

    Alton Towers was rather abysmal today, easily the worst day at a park in my lifetime, and yes I was expecting large crowds of school trips etc. Nemesis Reborn closed all day. Wicker Man went down multiple times. Oblivion went down multiple times. Thirteen went down multiple times. Curse at...

    Europa Park | 50th Anniversary Attraction | 2025

    Wasn't Geisterschloss just redone a few months ago? Or am I misremembering? Would be strange for them to do it up only to close it again, surely?

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    FINALLY had my chance to ride Hyperia yesterday, I live a three hour drive away so it's no longer my local park. To be honest, I was expecting it to be overhyped, I figured since it's in the UK (Thorpe, especially), the fellow goons were blowing it out of proportion a little. After my first go...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Yeah I agree, feel bad for the park tbh. I've got July 3rd booked in for my visit, and I'm praying to the coaster gods that it's open.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I sincerely doubt they'd shut their brand new coaster one day after opening because Sue from Staines said the noise is scaring her cats tbh

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    Better than nothing. I really do hope they theme the inside of the buildings nicely, and if the landscaping is done nicely this could turn out very nicely!

    Theming looks promising, although the STC trains look a bit... Battlestar Galactica to me?

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Nice to see that somebody is making use of the text formatting options, I can see you're enjoying them. Never thought I'd defend TPW to this degree, but holding thousands of guests back at one point, only to drop a rope and leave them to their own devices does seem a little reckless though, no...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I thought this too. Don't get me wrong I'm not a mega fan of his, but I don't think he's bitter in this instance as you said! I just watched his video on Voltron and he enjoys his second ride much more and him and Charlotte are singing the coaster's and the area's praises.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I won't lie, the lack of onboard audio has saddened me a little, they showed off a fantastic piece of music that goes with the layout perfectly and we don't get to hear it whilst on ride! Does look rather incredible though. The preshow effects before the launch are goofy as hell but I like it...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Tried to reply to this but my signal wouldn’t let me! Think I mayyy have been right next to you then and didn’t realise! Were you guys in the station when Taron went down the second time at around 16:30 or so? If so, my partner and I were in the air gates for the front row when it happened! We...

    At Phantasialand today and have been the last few days, really wishing I’d extended the stay a few days longer and headed to EP but I’ll save it for later! I’ll be cautiously checking YouTube for POVs on the day, I’m still so intrigued about the interior queue and the show scenes more than...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    From what we've seen so far I'd say it looks rather fab, I'm really excited for this. I do hope the outerbank speeds up a little bit (as I'm sure it will) but it already looks great. The twisted airtime hill after the splashdown doesn't look quite as snappy as I thought it would but hard to...

    The splashdown trims are definitely on, it slows down significantly at that part of the coaster as seen in Silkstone's video.

    Rebuild of Alpenexpress and Tiroler Wildwasserbahn Europa Park after major fire.

    Not sure about the bright blue on the trains but everything else looks marvellous. I remember the blue in the concept art being a bit darker but I imagine this will fade a little in time so it looks like the old trains a bit more. I can't wait to see what part of the park they burn down in 2026...

    Efteling | Danse Macabre | Intamin Dynamic Motion Stage | 2024

    Looks absolutely stunning already, I am starting to feel sorry for Efteling though, everything about this attraction is getting leaked prematurely.

    I imagine the engineers at Mack know what they're doing so I'm gonna leave it up to them to design things like this.

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    Oh that’s good, others on the German forums said it looked far from opening. Thanks of the update, that puts my mind at rest a little.

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    Sounds like today and yesterday haven’t been great in terms of availability. Taron running two trains (I think that’s understandable though given the events of the week) but Talocan and Chiapas closed and not looking like they’re opening soon. Does anyone know what’s happening with these? I know...
