If I recall correctly, there were no shipping containers in Ancient Egypt so that rules that out.

I'd actually take some blood fountains at this point. If we can't get the blood waterfall back, that is. Along the lines of the old Trauma Towers version. But even better.

Thorpe would have a cat in hell's chance of securing an IP as big as Stranger Things. It's like the second biggest show Netflix has ever produced.

Platform 13... is this just going to be Xpress minus the Vekoma? Because strangely, that would be an improvement.

I can't see a new flat immediately after Exodus but thankfully Thorpe aren't as deprived as Towers in that department.

Intamin is still crème de la crème as far as I'm concerned. Coasters like Taron have found the perfect medium between being super fierce and super comfy.

Well, it's 'apparently' going to be 'The Intimidator' so we're leaning towards Cedar Fair, funnily enough.

Glow in the dark, you say? Ironic really, considering Alton Towers is barely open by mid afternoon, let alone night time

Everything about this is exciting and has plenty of potential, but it needs to be emphasised that the vein motif looks even cheaper in the broad daylight. It reminds me of one of those dreadful Miami renderings you'd find at Barry Island or something. Is Nemesis a new addition to the retro...

Kondaa, Psyke and Pulsar. The humblest 1,2,3 punch. Glad you had a curse free time 😉

Nah it looks ****. Looks like some tacky boy racer vinyl sticker. Get rid of that and I'll happily accept the black paint job.

Weird seeing the whole first section gone. It's like there was nothing even there.

Well, it'll be to their detriment if they don't address the capacity issues. People like myself do love the park, but haven't visited in years because it's not worth the trip due to the aforementioned issues, plus lacklustre opening hours. A lot of families will avoid the place for the same...

Whatever it is, I hope they prioritise capacity and not some 'for the sake of it' record or new tech that's going to cause downtime. Capacity should really be a number one focus for AT right now. Even if they have to buy some off the shelf flats to coincide with a new coaster.

I disagree, but it's subjective ain't it. I think Valhalla had plenty of memorable scenes - the initial lift hill with the ominous Odin head and barking dogs, the backwards drop section, the ice room, water vortex, the tesla coil/hammer effects and of course, the fire finale. The problem was...

Firstly, apologies for the bombardment of posts in this thread. I'm just having a cheeky rant because Valhalla has always been my favourite ride at BPB, and I've felt this was inevitable from the start: But, the cold hard truth is that even if BPB did decide to make further changes based on...

Solar powered launch? Intamin Solar Blaster. Has a nice ring to it.

This has pretty much been confirmed. I think the problem is a lot of the best bits of Valhalla may have now gone, only to either not be properly replaced, or replaced by some cheap naff set pieces from River Caves / Gold Mine etc. I'd rather just see the back of Valhalla and be left with the...

Just playing devil's advocate here but... surely there have been prior tech rehearsals with the operations and creative team(s) doing countless runs of the ride prior to the current 'rehearsals'? Why on earth would you allow all the social media thoosies to come and ride knowing full well...

Yeah, the technical rehearsal thing is not an acceptable excuse at this stage. 3 years in the making. Problems trickling from the top down (looking at you Mandy). I don't think BPB have the financial firepower to afford to pull off a world class thematic experience. Nor do I think there's much...
