    Universal considering UK theme park in Bedford

    If this turns out to be true then, for now, it's as good as we're going to get in terms of confirmation that they're 'currently' still pushing ahead.

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    Yeh sorry Hixee, it must be additional, as the park was all but ready to open. I suppose the insurers will foot most of the bill?

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    That's great news. I like the new tower. I don't know why, but I wasn't expecting it to cost another £57.8M!!!

    Icon Park - Drop Tower Accident 24/03/2022

    I don't understand the US legal system, but wouldn't it be on Funtime's insurers to now sue the operator's insurers to the same sum? As in whilst the operators have already been sued by the parents, they've left Funtime exposed and liable to this through their actions, so should also be sued...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    My first thought was just that, at this stage, a 'replacement' could still be a remodel, could it not?

    "Big Mack and Fries" - Thorpe Park, 29th September 2024

    Hope you're all having a blast... She hadn't called in by the 11am deadline, and indeed turned up for work at 12!!! 😭😭😭🤬 (For the record, she's a really good girl, never lets us down, and is an excellent employee in all regards. Not in the slightest bit annoyed at her, just at the situation /...

    "Big Mack and Fries" - Thorpe Park, 29th September 2024

    Not gonna make it guys, so sorry. Had it booked off work, had the prebook, had even talked Will into coming along... But we've had a member of staff call in yesterday and today, if they call in tomorrow too, that'd mean 3 people off on the busiest day... As a small team, I'd be leaving them...

    "Big Mack and Fries" - Thorpe Park, 29th September 2024

    Do you want a lift? Kind of a bad look if somebody so vocal about the loss of lives doesn't turn up to this one! Sorry to be so blunt, but you know I'm right!

    The Maccy D's Thread.

    I got the test notification… They were clearly loading it in and running tests that weren’t meant to be sent out. Somebody is in a lot of trouble, although I’m impressed they work so far ahead with their all updates!!! Not a good thing for me, not a McRib fan, that Philly Cheese thing is one...

    Hyperia or Voltron; which new-for-2024 Mack do you prefer?

    Wonder why people that haven't ridden both have voted? Anyway... Hyperia for me, right now. But we had a very poor opening experience with Voltron, and yet, Hyperia didn't let us down on opening day. Opening days aside, I can't shake the feeling that Voltron is just a better themed Smiler...

    Your UK motorway service station count

    As if this thread exists... Absolute nerds!!! I'm going to stick my neck out and say I've visited all of them in England, and most in the UK. I spent a lot of my youth on the road, travelling, to different gigs / performances all over the country (and abroad.) Like lorry drivers, coach drivers...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    My big question is, do you still think the layout will lack airtime? :p Only pulling ya leg, glad you enjoyed it. :)

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    Honestly, I think businesses, all of them, should do whatever they need to do to survive at the moment. I'm just on a one man mission to defend and educate as to why Alton Towers (and other parks) open for short hours, or have a limited offer, on some days.... I'm not doing very well, haha...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    So ludicrous that Towers open until 4pm on off peak days… When often times the park is a complete ghost town and their rides are walk on too. But fine for other parks to close completely at exactly the same time of year? No double standards at all then? 🙈😂 I don’t think you can commend them...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    I visited for half a week in April 2019, it was mid week. Although it may have been that final week, which shows as open on QT.com (not that I trust QT anyway, it’s often way off park apps when comparing in real time.) Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that they’re simply not open for...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    They're practically never open anyway... It's August and they're on weekends only already. I think they did all week opening for most, but not all of June, all of July, and half of August... They used to be open all week in late April, my last visit was a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in...

    Rank the Mack Launch coasters

    Time for an update, thanks for the bump Rob... 1. Ride to Happiness 2. Helix 3. Voltron - Smiler with incredible theming, launches, less inversions and a bit more airtime. What's not to like? Not really challenging for my top spots though. 4. Blue Fire - Moves up after my recent trip back to...

    UK General Election 4th July 2024

    Yep, this... And I'm pleased with the way he's handling these bloody weirdos too... Loud minority... NOT a majority by any means. They seem to think they are a majority, and that he should 'stop calling them far right.' But that's exactly what they are, far right minority extremists. Just...
