Emerald Park News/Discussion

[VonRolland]

On a serious note, albeit somewhat a longshot thought, I wonder if Merlin would consider buying Tayto Park?

It's a solid park which fits their style. It has room for growth, improvement and to become a resort. It would suit Merlin's bragging rights: "Ireland's biggest theme park". If they wanted, they could even consider transforming it into Legoland Ireland. It could also be included in the UK pass, to make it seem better value whilst also not affecting things much.

We've seen since the changes at the top they're keen to invest in the parks, and Merlin have been no stranger to looking at buying parks (anyone remember the Sea World proposal a while back?). And it expands their portfolio.

I should say, I don't think this is the most likely thing. But, I wouldn't rule it out just yet...

God no keep Merlin away

This looks good. The UK in general has some pretty good contention for well-presented family coasters this year. It trades Farmyard Flyer's intricate, compact theming for an abundance of trees, dinosaurs, and camouflage;

This isn't in the UK though.

I'll accept British Isles, however.

Even British Isles isn’t really acceptable…

Nevertheless Tayto seem to have done a great job. Hopefully next year’s coasters continue to have this level of presentation.

So Dino Dash opened today, here’s a gallery of cool pictures that I dug up online. Cheeky theming;

Looks like he’s trying to chat me up.

With Dino Dash out of the way, the Vekoma pair have been pushed back to 2024, hopefully for the last time. With Project Exodus rising and Drayton allegedly having pushed their 2023 addition back a year, this will be a big year for the UK British Isles enthusiasts;
