If you mean the Fantastic Beasts movie, it was the 5th most-successful of all 9 Harry Potter films and there's plans for another 4 so it ain't going away.

Crazy, isn't it? Benefit of the doubt, they may have thought the works of Roald Dahl are public domain like the Peter Pan stuff they've installed nearby. However, I did have my suspicions when the Peach artwork was revealed last year (it didn't quite look like official Dahl imagery) and if you...

It's worse than that - they didn't even ask for permission in the first place! Apparently they used Roald Dahl and his characters without purchasing any licence and so the Roald Dahl Story Company, led by the author's grandson Luke Kelly, issued a writ in February accusing Oakwood of passing off...

I found a piece in the Birmingham Post from 13th August 1962 which said an 18-year-old soldier had died on BPB's Roller Coaster at the weekend, but it didn't say how.

Story Homes latest submission for the Camelot site has been rejected! So the park will continue to rot for the foreseeable future. In other news, the town's cinema still isn't built and Dave Whelan's plan for his football training ground also fell through.

The auction was featured on The One Show tonight (first item).

No, it definitely read like the blame was down to poor operations including letting too many fake disabled people ride. If you look at the requirements AT have for people to get a RAP it's quite specific and not that easy for disabled people to get hold off. They're not giving these out to...

**** off. How do you know who was disabled and who was not? Are they supposed to wear a badge, perhaps a bright letter, or a hat? Given the number of qualifications Alton requires carers to have it's barely freeloading, in fact when you've taken GP letters into account it's cheaper just to get...

Is there a restaurant in the hotel? Otherwise I just don't see much attraction at all! For thrillseekers who like to be in bed by 9pm?

I would assume the rain and snow does have an effect on the state of the wood, which is is likely to expand and contract. The problem would be that unlike, say, the Big Dipper they won’t know all the effects at this stage so are going to have to be cautious.

Cheers. This, for me, is the problem with DLP and I would guess why most Brits who go to Disney go to Florida rather than the one on their doorstep.

I've not been to DLP for a while. Is the new Star Tours in English or still in French? Will the new stuff be in English now Disney don't have to compromise?

The fact it's called "Paramount Park" should have been a clue to it being out-of-date.

Yeah, they've definitely retracked the first drop. But I don't think the ride now is much different to the early days.

I don't like those trains. The only problem I have with this ride is that they worked on installing a great coaster but the theming and design seems to have been an afterthought (as shown by the fact they only appointed a design company after the ride was announced). So it all looks flung...

It's being French that's got them in this mess in the first place.

I'm still not keen on the white footers, but the rest of the theming looks good and should look even better once the trees grow

https://www.lep.co.uk/news/update-fire-alert-at-blackpool-tower-1-9051645 Blackpool Tower is on fire. Typical Merlin - they come up with a new gimmick then feel the need to roll it out to all their locations. :rolleyes:

But what power does an "Attractions Excellence Manager" have? I mean, they can ride X but the only way they can make it any good is to burn it to the ground and dance in the flames.

It's all very well building more hotels, but if all the attractions are closed, knackered or on half-day opening who's going to stay in them?
