Legoland Kennywood and Thorpe Compounce on their way soon?

This one seems to have swept under the radar. Some detective work at park fans has dug up the plans for SFNEs new 2025 coaster and it seems like a decent addition for them. An Intamin family launch straddle coaster not unlike Juvelen, Jet Rescue and their ilk The ride will sit on the site...

Simple. That tophat is inverted. Therefore smashing the tallest inversion record by 40ft in one go. This parks very much all about the records. 🤣

Thank you for feeding the beast 🙂 I can rest easy now until BGW starts to build their invert.

Not a single photo of the labels yet. These guys are killing me 🤣

Who says the 1m was a typo. Paultons are using BPBs playbook and just measuring from random ****. It will be 237ft tall as measured in HALPCP (Height Above Local Pub Car Park) Which in reality will be 1m taller than Hyperia The year was a typo though. Didn't realise all this was about a 2026...

Paultons going in hard in 2025 with a 237ft B&M airtime machine taking the record by 1m

Can't help but feel the missed a lovely niche branding opportunity here with Skyblazer🤣

I wouldn't read anything into Michael being executive producer at all though. The Rest Is Entertainment podcast recently did a good Q&A about executive producers and what they actually do (often very little) that's worth a listen. For this project it's almost certainly because Michael Mack is...

Just in case my review in the Hyperia thread left you in any doubt. In my opinion Hyperia is in no way the best coaster in the country. Coaster wise what's there is pretty great but it's half a great experience. An astonishing drop and 3 great elements then it just ends. It's just leaves me...

I guess it depends to a large extent on the demographic of that population in the summer. For a successful park if guess you need a decent proportion of that influx to be families and not say rich business people with 2nd homes or the retired. (Neither of which probably have much of an interest...

The death of the rides at Flambards (and the fact those rides are the same rides I rode as a kid) suggests that even a small park down that end of the country just doesn't pull enough guests and make enough revenue to expand.

Footer layout seen there look suspiciously like the permeant version of a Zierer Force One (or something very similar) https://rcdb.com/1485.htm#p=28136

My crew change flights got delayed a couple of days from Tuesday to Thursday so decided to head down to Thorpe for the first time in a decade to see what's what with this new shiny toy. Walking into the park it's undeniable the ride has presence. It towers over the rest of the park and can be...

Another data point for the tourism doesn't necessarily mean good parks can be made with Portugal. Portugal's a big tourist destination, with a much higher GDP than the Balkan countries and yet there isn't a proper park in the entire country. Back in the Balkans there has been a long running...

From what I remember It was. Then they were forced to increase the height restrictions beyond their initial plans and now it isn't.

Except Hollenblitz isn't a Schwarzkopf. It's mislabeled has his in quite a few sites but the great man himself had nothing to do with it. Some ex employees at Stein did help with construction but not Schwartzkopf. There's a good explanation in this thread...

As cocoa mentioned it's being completely renovated. Which makes the upcoming sale of the park even stranger. Here's a photo of some of the track..

Voted Green, but I'm in the safest of safe Labour seats Reform didn't even make the top 4.
