    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Not sure when that was taken but I was there 6th September and it was awful for several hours midday for this. Thousands of them everywhere. They kept landing on you. It was sooooo nasty.

    Fantasiana | Helios | Mack Stryker Coaster | 2025

    The park will get going straight away on construction as soon as the park closes for this season. First up will be the removal of Wild Train. It's going to be fantastic ride! Some of the transitions look awesome!

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    Park operations really do let the park down. The new additions are great and I love the direction the park is heading, although I do want them to not lose sight of the Thrill market. One train ops on Gold Rush is annoying. It was slow with two trains so dread to think how one would have been...

    Milestones in Your Counts

    Was pleased to get my 1,200th on Wild Train at Fantasiana a few weeks ago! Such a fun little ride! Definitely try to get out there to experience it. The airtime alone is worth it!

    Oh I know you can’t choose a train or row. Just wanted to know how to find out what train you were on. From the back. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Quick question, are the train numbers easily visible and where abouts are they?

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    That would be amazing to see Stingray running again. It's a fun but very very odd sensation on the inversions.

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    It shows on CC as a duplicate. So you can tick both Nemesis and Nemesis Reborn separately but it only counts as one. It's the same as Hulk, and Python.

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    Yup, a forward climb up the lift dropping backwards really would make the layout feel more complete to me. Makes a lot more sense.

    Nanocoaster discussions and opinions

    I have the Big One and Olympia Looping. Really like the OL one. Not sure if you can buy older ones online anywhere though.

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    This looks and sounds very feasible and sensible to me. The second option is a really cool idea and reminds me of Big Grizzly Mountain. The first option would work if it was a spinner as well. Nicely worked out!

    Alton Towers New Flat Ride?

    I rode the one at SFGAdv and it was one of the most boring flat rides i've ever ridden. It's just you being moved in multiple controlled directions over the course of the cycle. No randomness at all. It is very impressive to watch though and looks incredible, but from a rider perspective I...
