    WTF Merlin?

    Oh not good! Hopefully it’s as simple as that bit of theming that hides the door mechanism has somehow come loose and been damaged and isn’t another prolonged period of down time.

    Universal considering UK theme park in Bedford

    It’s encouraging to hear the MP saying that he will do all he can. It’s great to keep getting these small updates too. If it all went completely silent for a prolonged period of time then I would start to get worried.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I was thinking - Is it just poor design from Mack the fact this has valleyed twice in that element now? Surely there is the technology these days to design an element and take into consideration all the different variables, temperatures, weather, train weight, etc? The fact that on the drop...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    As others have said with the colder weather now this is could be a regular occurence every winter. Pretty big deal if every time it happens they have to crane the train off the track and the coaster goes down for a few days and then down to 1 train operation for a while longer.

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

    Rita is still very popular at AT too. I was at the park Friday and the queue time was pretty long all day with no downtime and 2 trains ops. It was also running incredibly well, I was pleasantly surprised. Be a sad day when there are no more Hydraulic launch coasters around, LSMs just don’t...

    Damn. Not good at all. Begs the question of how did the person not hear or see the coaster train approaching and why on earth would they carry out a test run if the track was under maintenance works and being worked on.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    As much as I wanted them to buy PA this should be a blessing for the potential UK park as the Port Aventura purchase may have been their other option. Now that has fallen through the UK park will be their only European project.

    WTF Merlin?

    Yeah I think this is more of a case showing what a sad state the country is in and way tougher sentencing needed on knife crime rather than anything to do with Merlin. Stabbings are now unfortunately a daily occurence happening everywhere up and down the country, was only a matter of time...

    D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event Parks Panel | 10/08/24

    Not a fan of them ditching the rivers of america, Tom Sawyer island and the steamboats for a Cars land in Frontierland. Some attractions should be off the table and left alone and that area should be one of them.

    Colossus Partial Retrack (Thorpe Park)

    Hope that is just temporary for the summer as that is incredibly ugly and the fake barbed wire was one of the better themed elements of the queueline.
