Have seen a lot of similar shots over the years, but I still had to take this photo!

I've gone from size length queen disappointment to actually feeling quite excited about this. Even though it is short, it's gonna be wild and we need that in the UK. It actually looks like they've designed this with the intention of it simply being a good coaster. I did not think this would ever...

Yeah that's pretty much what I had in mind. Not so much a boat ride themed to the history of cottaging or anything! (Though I can imagine that being a thing in Amsterdam) Some rainbows, lots of colour, Britney deep cuts playing on a loop. Job done!

Still waiting for someone to do a Pride themed coaster/themed area/entire park 🏳️‍🌈 it would be so much fun!

As a disabled, in my experience - once you're through the gate the staff don't give a toss where on the train you sit. I'm sure they're supposed to like at Merlin parks but I've been on every seat on Icon at this point. It's a very tight squeeze through that gate into the queue so maybe that'll...

I think grey with yellow supports actually makes a nice contrast next to Velocity. That's a shame!

Blackpool, the true English Riviera! 😉 I'm from Brighton and I know of more people having been to Blackpool than even Alton Towers. People here love a bit of Blackpool! As for Flamingo Land - I used to live in York and I don't think I once ever mentioned it to someone without being asked what...

The only thing that bugs me about repainted coasters is down the line when the new paint starts flaking off and revealing the old paint underneath. In a few years those rails are going to be an awful patchwork of grey and maroon. I'd have just painted the supports. Colossus in layout - Inferno...

I like to think of it as a reference to the medical procedure. With the infusion consisting of "adrenaline" in lieu of medication. They're missing a trick by not decorating the trains with IV lines if you ask me.

Not a fan of vest restraints at all. I wouldn't mind if they didn't get tighter as the ride progresses. I have a Portacath in my chest and while it doesn't cause me any pain - it can be uncomfortable/distract from the enjoyment of the ride having a vest pressing on it. The Swarm is/was the worst...

It's a bit of a dive but I did really enjoy the place. Sometimes tacky, low-key amusement parks make a fabulous day out. It helped that it was early days for me and my other half, he's terrified of any kind of ride/height but took me to FL anyway and endured most of the stuff there! Fond...

There will most certainly be a drastic cutback at some point leading to - "The world's first IMAGINATION COASTER!! Close your eyes and ride anything your heart desires as you sit on this bench we found round the back of bought from B&Q!"

My money is on the Bob Marley album. Can imagine the dad jokes about getting/going high 👀

"Worlds first Mack hyper coaster to feature OTSRs!" - marketing sorted. No to seatbelts in general. As someone with only semi functioning hands I detest the added faff. Every time I go to BPB I always seem to get the seats that have had a mop or an elephant as the previous rider. No...

I was beginning to think there was some kind of law against themeing and landscaping rides this well in the UK! Well done Paultons. I probably still won't go though. I don't have kids, I don't want kids, and I don't particularly want to be surrounded by kids and their Karens for any amount of...

It's more than likely a classic "rose coloured glasses" scenario but Thorpe Park in the 90s. Idyllic I think would be the best word to describe it, in my memory at least. There's every chance that if time travel were a thing I'd rock back up to 90s TP and conclude, "Yep, still a dump". I just...

Two huge white/light structures at either end of the park sounds nice and symmetrical to me! Have watched the videos over and over and need to know, am I the only person currently wondering if this could turn out to be an Axis coaster? The overbanked turn into the inversion seems perfect for...

UK beating? Yes, but that's a low bar isn't it. World class? Not so sure. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but... come on. Too early for me to be 100% excited or heartbroken. I'm gonna stick with intrigued/cautiously optimistic until we get something more concrete. Maybe even until...

It's certainly as short as I assumed. Would I like a slightly longer layout featuring a bunch of small chaotic hills and twists? Yes. But also - screw it. I'll take it. Bring it on. Gimme that Hyper 🥳 Please be a Mack!

Soz, didn't realise it was take everything literally day 👀 What I was getting at is that I'm certain this will be something short and a bit crap. Just like almost everything else Merlin have done.
