Condiments:- Now this for me is love / hate - if I love it, I really love it and if I hate it, I really hate it. Anything tomato or mustard based is a real winner Anything mayonnaise based is a real no no In the dessert department, if it’s a choice between custard or ice-cream; I’m normally a...

Those photos just confirm Europe needs more of these coasters

Let’s look at it this way… if you own a property and you decide to knock it down and then rebuild it completely the same - you would need to get planning permission and building control involved. If you are to knock down a single wall and then rebuild the wall - you wouldn’t need to notify...

Wow, just wow! Ultimately this looks pretty incredible, the pacing, the Zero G and dear god the Loop… Mack are truly on a roll recently and can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

A very measly 8… I’ve broken them down by the order I rode the coasters in. Oblivion - Alton Towers Air / Galactica - Alton Towers Nemesis - Alton Towers Nemesis Inferno - Thorpe Park The Swarm - Thorpe Park Shambhala - PortAventura Dragons Khan - PortAventura Baron 1898 - Efteling

Speaking of El Rio rapids at Bobbejaanland - @chainedbanana; do you know if the trough bypassing the windmill lift was put in after the ride was constructed? I’ve just watched a POV video and it’s very strange to see the lift / drop in situ and you just float past it.

I suppose the project has now moved onto the next stage as the public consultation survey is now closed

I’m happy to set up a sweepstake 🙈😂

Short answer - yes; I turn the TV on and there is simply nothing which appeals to me…

I just can’t help but feel this investment might be a way of filling the line up “if” and this is a “if” Colossus will be retired? I feel Colossus might be pretty redundant once this has been built and I can imagine the ridership levels will start to drop off - I know I avoid it as the trains...

Nice to see someone else win, but not a great way of going about it! It’s just like watching Boris Johnson, make the rule book and then pick which ones to follow…

@RobCoasters - I don’t think there has been any rumours of spinning trains? There has been a few people, including myself - who have said if this to be a Mack coaster, then you can’t rule out this being an extreme spinner. Of course people have made some very good educated guess at the...

@Matt N - you write as many words as you want; some of us enjoy reading your view point and you bring a lot to this forum

Let’s take him on a trip to Energylandia, and while we are talking about that; maybe you could give me a proper tour as an experienced park goer.

I just can’t help but think this might even have spinning trains - then it would be complete gimmick overload!

@toofpikk - doesn’t Blackstone Investment group own a big stake in Merlin and did have a massive stake in Seaworld till the late 2010’s?

@Matt N - for a family thrill / multi launch - they should rip out storm surge, colossus and the walking dead and put it on the this site with a couple of flat rides

I seriously can’t comprehend how good it is to see the excitement, the dreams and theory’s in this thread - it’s so hard to keep up! T-REX you say?? Now I love a good list @Nicky Borrill 1. B&M Hyper 2. RMC 3. Mack Extreme Spinner 4. Massive Intamin Blitz 5. Intamin Hyper

@Matt N - a lot of the infrastructure / utilities wouldn’t require planning permission and it is the first job to take place with most project like this and more than likely Chessington would have been liaising with the local authority on a regular basis and would know if it’s being approved...

I think when the content creator has to put as follows ** it will open in a set year unless it’s delayed or the project is cancelled - says something about the prediction I have no doubt Merlin have struck a multi unit deal with a manufacturer and I would love to see both the Thorpe and Alton...
