Always interesting to hear what Ryan the mechanic thinks!

The big trim brake tells me it doesn't know how to use it...

As in I don’t think it’s even on par with other parks in Europe, let alone outside of that. I don’t know if you can say “European theming is world class” when there’s hundreds of theme parks with varying budgets and offerings. PHL, Europa Park and Efteling world class? Absolutely. Drayton Manor...

This coaster looks like a lovely addition and probably rides well from what I've seen. However if I hear another YouTuber claim that the theming around it is "world class" I might have a stroke! Have they tried? Yes, but I just don't see what they're seeing? It's not even on a European level let...

Not sure if I read it here or elsewhere, but I've heard it's possible Universal are waiting until D23 in August to announce some new investments worldwide to draw the spotlight away from the mouse? I imagine if that were the case (not proven of course), this would be announced as going ahead...

I love how it's not even a 360⁰ roll anyway! If they're gonna be silly with these names I'd like them to at least try to be a little more accurate!

Sorry to hear that you had a similar day to mine, it's not a good look for the park at all. Crazy that awful wages don't make people want to work harder! ;) I agree that if they've advertised opening hours, they should honour it and if not, partial refunds should be issued.

It's been closing at 4pm at points for years now, I wouldn't expect better tbh!

I genuinely don’t know if the crowd volumes were really the issue yesterday tbh. I’d say the over selling of fast pass, the 3 minute dispatches, the wildly inaccurate queue times and the ride reliability were what ruined the day. It was busy and that’s absolutely fair enough, but it wasn’t...

Alton Towers was rather abysmal today, easily the worst day at a park in my lifetime, and yes I was expecting large crowds of school trips etc. Nemesis Reborn closed all day. Wicker Man went down multiple times. Oblivion went down multiple times. Thirteen went down multiple times. Curse at...

Wasn't Geisterschloss just redone a few months ago? Or am I misremembering? Would be strange for them to do it up only to close it again, surely?

FINALLY had my chance to ride Hyperia yesterday, I live a three hour drive away so it's no longer my local park. To be honest, I was expecting it to be overhyped, I figured since it's in the UK (Thorpe, especially), the fellow goons were blowing it out of proportion a little. After my first go...

Yeah I agree, feel bad for the park tbh. I've got July 3rd booked in for my visit, and I'm praying to the coaster gods that it's open.

I sincerely doubt they'd shut their brand new coaster one day after opening because Sue from Staines said the noise is scaring her cats tbh

Better than nothing. I really do hope they theme the inside of the buildings nicely, and if the landscaping is done nicely this could turn out very nicely!

Theming looks promising, although the STC trains look a bit... Battlestar Galactica to me?

Nice to see that somebody is making use of the text formatting options, I can see you're enjoying them. Never thought I'd defend TPW to this degree, but holding thousands of guests back at one point, only to drop a rope and leave them to their own devices does seem a little reckless though, no...

I thought this too. Don't get me wrong I'm not a mega fan of his, but I don't think he's bitter in this instance as you said! I just watched his video on Voltron and he enjoys his second ride much more and him and Charlotte are singing the coaster's and the area's praises.

I won't lie, the lack of onboard audio has saddened me a little, they showed off a fantastic piece of music that goes with the layout perfectly and we don't get to hear it whilst on ride! Does look rather incredible though. The preshow effects before the launch are goofy as hell but I like it...

Tried to reply to this but my signal wouldn’t let me! Think I mayyy have been right next to you then and didn’t realise! Were you guys in the station when Taron went down the second time at around 16:30 or so? If so, my partner and I were in the air gates for the front row when it happened! We...
