All this screams Merlin realising how far Chessington has fallen behind, IMHO. Paulton's upped their game in recent years and are close enough to be a threat, now Universal is on the scene too which will serve a different market, but raise the bar on quality. New additions have been good and I...

Your chart specifies homicide with knife, not overall knife crime (I actually specified violent crime overall, not just where a knife was used). Not all knife crime results in death. It's unsurprising that the death rate increased given the prevalence of Zombie knives and such. It does not...

Knife Crime is filthy, pure and simple, people who decide to take a knife and use it for anything but its intended purpose are disgusting individuals. You often hear 'protection' being used as the justification for carrying a knife, protection from whom? Stop carrying knives. However, whilst...

This will be tax breaks, I assume. I don't mind that per-say if we can get them to hand over some significant cash for EWR.

I actually somehow missed these screens entirely, so surprised to hear they have them. I did try the basic app (which is actually content delivered through a tickets app) and it offers an out-of-date park map (including a blocked out area where Gold Rush is stating 'Under Construction, Opening...

Ah, so they did only buy one train. They definitely should purchase the second for next season, whilst they're not pretty, they're comfortable and do the job. Lapbars are a definite win on that ride. It's popular too, I queued for an hour yesterday, which is the longest I've ever queued for...

Rode today, was alright, definitely better during the sequence where the train rolls back from the first hill climb. I think there are better family coasters out there, but it's decently long and a perfect fit for the park. I wasn't overly impressed with park operations today though...

I'm really in two minds about this. Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer island are both slow, chilled experiences (visitor lead for Tom Sawyer) which I very much enjoy doing, however I would wager that in the case of Tom Sawyer, most people never venture over there at all. It's fun, but feels like...

Actually, despite the attempts of the far right over the last week I believe things are going in the right direction. Nothing revolutionary but I never expected things to happen overnight. It does seem like we have competent leadership willing to make the right decisions, not the populist ones...

5pm close in the summer holidays is inexcusable if you're getting >1hr queues. 6 really should be the bare minimum, but honestly I'd expect 8 for the summer holidays. As a customer, short hours put me off. I look at my recent visits, my first this year wasnt great, my second was better, but...

I'm yet to ride, and I've driven by it several times since opening. Including tomorrow.

Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if someone on the team lobbied for really nerdy stuff like functional transfer tracks, I doubt we'll see that in the game though. I do want to see on-ride photos make an appearance though, they were such a good little extra earner back in the RCT days. It also...

The important thing is the park is making big new investments again, I'm not really fussed by the graphics, given we could have lost this park during the pandemic.

Gameplay footage on the 31st, I'm at a friend's wedding on that date (my partner is even MoH) so I don't think I'll find the time to watch. Got something to look forward to in the morning though to fight off that hangover. I'm weirdly pleased to hear about the power management aspect, Planco...

Unfortunately, yes that's definitely AI art at this point, they need to stop with that, though when they said they didn't use it they did specify on any signage. Shameful that one of the channels leaked it at midnight when the park themselves were supposed to announce it at 10. They should find...

https://www.planetcoaster.com/en-gb It's here! Planet Coaster 2 has been announced. In the trailer we can see: - Customisable flat rides. - Water slides, including drop capsules. - Pools. - B&M Surf Coaster. Anything else?

Indeed, Drayton are doing a great job at cornering the younger family market. It's a sensible direction given the relative proximity of Alton.

We were just saying the same thing. Hopefully this will prompt them to release more information shortly. They'll absolutely want this open before the summer holidays, and they aren't far away.

https://x.com/DraytonManor/status/1808597678525218859 "Gold Rush", the UK's longest family coaster it is. I love the fact they dropped this at half 9 on a Wednesday, out of the blue.

Stunt Fall at Parque Warner Madrid, not danger so much as genuine fear. Back row on the ends is terrifying when the train ascends the first lift. I enjoyed that feeling a lot. On the 'genuinely felt dangerous' front, Abismo over at Parque de Atracciones. I know it's safe, I know that lapbar...
