Alton towers have permanently closed the skyride I am very confused as they just refurbished it I am kind of thinking it may be an April fools prank as this is very shocking! I don’t know if any of you know any more I can’t really find much information on it.🤯
 
Ugh, I normally love WOF but I hate everything they are doing right now 😅

Couldn't they have achieved rain protection without *completely* enclosing the lift? At least leave it open to the inside so you can actually see you're going up a spiral.

Hofis Erlebnispark, a new amusement park inspired by Karls Erlebnis Dorf, is expected to open next year at the former site of Western-City Dasing near Augsburg, Germany (my hometown). The future operator, Thomas Hofreiter, plans for 30 attractions, including three family coasters, an observation tower, a zoo, and a labyrinth/maze. The park is right off the A-8 Autobahn, 30 minutes northwest of Munich, so easy creds to get when at the Oktoberfest or Skyline Park (45 minute drive). Source (in German)

PortAventura workers are going on strike starting tomorrow after negotiations on a new employment deal continues to stall since the last contract expired on December 31st. According to the worker’s union a whole 65% of PortAventura’s workforce earn minimum wage or less due to seasonal contracts allowing the park to get away with lower wages, and issues with management and employee transportation remain. PortAventura has cancelled ticket sales for tomorrow but plans to remain operational, however cautioning visitors that they may face difficulties buying food or going on rides. The union warns that the strike may proceed past Saturday if negotations continue to stall.
