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

    The track is set to be black, with dark grey supports. I’ve heard of the track featuring ‘red highlights’ as part of the install. So I’d assume a similar touch to that of the original Nemesis with the rust effect.

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    Yep. It’s wrong. The ride system is being refurbished and the ride is being returned to a Haunted House theme. Rumoured to be themed to Emily Alton a little girl.

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

    There’s a stopper on the end as well as some fins to prevent the train hitting it. The track isn’t completed, no. The other spike is to be completed, but likely won’t for a while yet as it goes where the site access is at the moment.

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

    Can confirm the name - will make sense when people see the train.

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

    How many infinity coasters have you been on? I’ve done three now and two of them were rough and rattly. I know what I’d prefer. Give me a Rolls Royce over a Kia any day of the week.

    Howdy! Today whilst I was at the Chessington World of Adventures consultation for their indoor water park. I overheard a little tidbit from planners talking about an indoor water park opening in the coming years just North of Bicester near Oxford. Following a little digging, it turns out to be...

    I was there today for the consultation so I had to check out the progress! I got to see two sections being lifted into place. Here are some photos with more on the link below! https://projectamazon.co.uk/november-16th-2022/

    Chessington World of Adventures planning indoor waterpark - public consultation on Wednesday 16th November

    I just want to jump in and address this. As the Admin behind Chessington Buzz, I must stress that our Speculation articles are just that. Speculation. Yes - they are based on a little inside information, but we don't outright get told "We're planning a waterpark". "We're planning a Giga coaster"...

    Chessington World of Adventures planning indoor waterpark - public consultation on Wednesday 16th November

    ^ Things like parking are being considered and are likely a part of this consultation. From what I’m hearing this exhibition is likely to feature multiple projects which link in to the bigger scheme project.

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

    The throughput hasn’t been stated in the plans… [emoji6] That’s all enthusiast speculation at this point. From what I’m hearing it’s closer to 1200pph. How true that is it to be confirmed of course.

    Premier Rides IAAPA Teaser "Something Wild Is Coming"

    Hopefully it’s new trains for their coasters. The comfort collars and sheer size of their trains made getting in and out a pain.

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

    Yeah, the ride will launch backwards first. The top speed is expected to be around 45mph. So it’ll likely launch backwards to about 30/35 then pick up the rest on the forwards boost through the station.

    ^ This. I think the drive tyres will sit in the centre of the station as there is a set on each track piece. I assume these are to hold the train in the station during loading etc.

    Both rides, Hulk and Jurassic Park River adventure are up and open. Here today and the only big issue on Jurassic Park is the obvious hole in the show building. It’s quite clearly visible on ride and they’ve covered the hole in a dark Green mesh. Just in the queue for Hagrid’s now and there’s...

    Journey to Atlantis - SeaWorld Orlando

    I thought to myself when getting off the ride yesterday it looked in such a state. Operations were pretty shocking too! Needs a huge cash injection to fix it up.
