    Rank the Refurbs (UK dark ride edition)

    Unless the actors forgot to put out a lot of scenery and effects in the Crypt and throughout the ride that morning, and completely changed the storyline and pacing of the ride I sincerely doubt a different run would change my mind. I think we experienced the same thing, except you liked it and...

    Rank the Refurbs (UK dark ride edition)

    I'm not sure why you think my "level of criticism is unwarranted"? But I don't dislike actor led attractions in general. I disliked THIS one. I thought THIS one was bad. I love the Dungeons attractions, Heck I've done 5 of them. They have many different rooms, each with ornate details, unique...

    Thorpe Park to retheme Derren Brown's Ghost Train

    Reading these reviews makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I absolutely hated it. I felt like there was a lot of actors rambling, limited story progression and nothing really happened.

    Rank the Refurbs (UK dark ride edition)

    I've only done one of these and that's The Ghost Train. It was utter garbage. My short review is that very little happens in it at all, and what little does happen is mostly just some actors hamming it up. The effects were minimal and critically there were very few Ghosts. It is inexplicably...

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    Nah, sorry, hard disagree from me. John Burton and the MMM team are skilled, but they are restricted by the brief and budget. I think your suggestion that they are just good at concept art is wholly unfair.

    Walt Disney World

    Well that's rather embarrassing. I always wondering how many people would pay €4k+ for a hotel room, some puzzles and awkward interactions...and it turns out the answer is "not that many".

    do we NEED to count credits?

    I count creds because I enjoy it. I don't however ride kiddie coasters, so I just count the main coasters.

    ...and the excitement of seeing 3 posts on my old thread were swiftly dashed upon looking at what they were saying 😆

    Oldest amusement ride you've been on?

    I'm pretty sure mine is Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens from 1914. I would imagine this is also my oldest park visit.

    Your Number 0 Coaster.

    Space Mountain Mission 2 at Disneyland Paris. As a coaster it is pretty rough, but I love the theming and have a nostalgic love for it that survives all the neck pain.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I had a look at the documents. First thing's first, I love the colour selection. It's a nice change from the typical Merlin palette, and I'm rather pleased. However, I noted the building elevations in the documents, and it got me a bit worried. It looks like the station will be a pitched roof...

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    Hot pink with neon blue supports would also be distinctive and unique. It would also look hideous.

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    I sense a divisiveness already, 2 posts loving it, 2 posts absolutely hating it.

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    I'm surprised you say that, I had an immediate bad reaction to that. It looks so tacky. I didn't like the mock ups of black with red rails that some fans made earlier, but this is much much worse. I REALLY hate this.

    THORPE PARK, UK, Query re prices, accomodation, fast pass

    The park isn't perfect but that's a massive overreaction. If you are there before opening you can easily do most of the rides without any fast pass. Generally I find if there well ahead of opening you can hit 2 coasters in the first hour and then complete the other across the day. At worst I've...

    YAY Merlin!

    I remember that this was the case at Efteling, specifically Baron 1898. I went in February 2018 (-3 degrees C) and could see the orange heaters below the track in the station.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    A map that is functional and helps you navigate the place?! Perish the thought! I like it, it does what a map should do.
