I've always been a huge splash fan. But I'm really shocked at how this retheme has been done, the story is uncompelling. Tianas lines are really repetitive and lazy.
The big drop loses it's buildup that those cultures gave before.
Like which imagineers worked on this project because it feels...
That corporate style video chock full of buzz words made me cringe quite a bit, but I wouldnt expect them to give any details about the problem.
Although if it was something like the lift hill you think they could give a vague idea, but I suppose they dont want to give any newspapers ammunition.
Not surprised for a ride in Japan themed to generally a childs franchise.
Plus I can imagine that type of ride can't be too aggressive due to how far away the seats are to the wheel assemblies.
It's like a Steeplechase style ride, the centre of mass is quite far from the wheels which can...
The only worthy successor would be another S&S launch coaster but modern in my opinion, but I get why they'd not want to do that, S&S reliability is so bad.
Makes me very sad, such an iconic ride, the layout and those tunnels really give me early 2000's vibes. The station screens were so cool and the music/atmosphere with this thing were unmatched. Loved riding the ferris wheel and seeing that thing stretched out across the park.
Part of me was...
Not that i'm going to visit around opening day, but I have a feeling this ride is going to be a bit of a building site still when it does open.
The ride experience itself should be fantastic though, excited to hear peoples feedback on it.
I'm hoping to go to Tokyo again later this year, in December absolutely dreading trying to get into this new area and riding the rides.
Tempting to just pretend they dont exist and enjoy the rest of the park.
I find most enthusiasts in the UK are very easily pleased/excited. They see the bare minimum of maintanance being done and see it as some huge turning point. People were going mad saying how perfect Alton Towers was when Nemesis came back - meanwhile from the Nemesis Reborn queue you could see a...
It is interesting how Merlins construction stuff is done sometimes. A spray painted part like that isn't gonna hold up and will end up rusting in our climate. Needs to be powder coated.
Same with the Nemesis Reborn queue where loads of the fencing was badly thought out, and some sections on...
As always I think Alton has the most potential. It's just such a stunning location and if they can add some more indoor dark rides/coasters and get it properly tidied up it'll be a great theme park again.
