Apparently they have painted it since that photo!

Apparently they've completed the 500 test runs, so I guess now it's just a matter of how long it takes for B&M and the local government to sign off on it before it opens. Crazy that we've gone from being sure we weren't going to get on it by August 10th, to it looking like it could open on July!

We went when it was quite quiet but I completely agree with the crazy queue systems. It felt like no one really cared if some groups pushed past and there were very few staff about anyway. Overall I thought the whole park was a bit of a shambles. Zadra is a great ride and the area for that...

When I think about it being 'instead' of more queue line, it makes a lot of sense, and I do like ones where you go immediately from the pre-show into the air gates so there's like a reveal of the station and you're immediately going to ride. That being said, it kind of kills re-rideability for...

Is this expected for Summer 2024 then? seems crazy to have supports arriving but not expect the coaster to open for another 10 months! (Then again, I hate to think how long it was between the supports for Tron arriving in Florida and the opening of that)

The new support is installed! Amazed at how quickly this is going. Starting to think we might be able to get on it when we go next month!

This is true, but we visited Ferrari World, Warner Bros World, Sea World and then Motiongate in the same week and none of the other parks were anywhere near as quiet. There was a huge difference between Yas Island (still short queues for any thrill coasters but busy in the family areas and lots...

I volunteer as tribute, on our trip I will gladly ride it with that 'repair' in place

We literally just booked to go there in August specifically to ride this, oh no!

Didn't notice anything but I don't know what it normally looks like. The whole area is dead, there's like 6 restaurants still open in the shopping area that joins the parks, and dozens of closed shop fronts. We maybe saw 20 other people in all of Motiongate and the hotel we're at here is almost...

Just a quick update. Was at Motiongate today and saw the Bollywood Woodie testing. So it doesn't look like it's abandoned or being dismantled

We were at Motiongate today and saw the Bollywood Wooden Coaster testing. Seemed a bit weird with the park being shut for a while now. Definitely looks like they're not dismantling it!

Just got on this today. Walk on so went for front and back row rides. It's really fun! No real drops and the launches don't pack much of a punch, but there's a lot of real ejector airtime and some great inversions. The theming works pretty well when you're on the ride, gives you some fun near...

When I got serious about travelling to a lot of theme parks I toyed with the idea of counting creds, but I quickly realised I just didn't want to spend any of my time at theme parks on rides I didn't care about. I still find it kind of interesting looking at other people's counts, no idea why.

Pleasurewood Hills just posted this Tweet saying: So a new coaster on the way? I'd assume it'll just be a kiddie coaster, but that's not going to stop me hoping for something spectacular for my local park!

Isn't the Hex story that there's a curse at Alton Manor? This place is lousy with curses

I might be misremembering but didn't Roller Coaster at BPB not have any restraints in the 90s? I feel like I went on something that felt like going round a coaster track on a sofa.

They still have the three hour time slots, doesn't look like they're going away anytime soon. Locals are annoyed that it's ticketed at all now because you used to be able to just wander through them

Did our first trip to Heide Park today and had a great time. Really impressed with the theming, audio around the park, and the general atmosphere. Had a great time! Ride operations were terrible but thankfully it wasn't too busy (probably thanks to the current heatwave) so we didn't queue more...

We're going to Hansa and Heide for the first time in a couple of weeks. Definitely got low expectations for Heide, we don't even bother with the Merlin UK parks anymore after our last trip to Thorpe in 2021 was so depressing.
