    Chessington World of Adventures holding public consultation regarding “current proposals and new developments” - potential new attraction?

    Always great to see investment and some TLC, Mexicana does definitely need it. However for a big refurb I was hoping for a Vekoma SFC Vampire replacement, but ill take a indoor coaster and more. I do think Wild Asia just needed some tlc and would have been fine but if this is what they want to...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Amity Beach is having work done, several holes have been dug on the larger side with diggers still on site. The old containment area has been empty for a while but it has now been cleaned up and turned into a picnic area, currently closed off. Wonder if a redevelopment is underway. Source

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    Lets say they did go for a water coaster the UK does need one, but if i had to vote for one i would go for a Mack Rocking Boat. Mission Bermuda going to Futuroscope looks not only to have a decent drop but also some great theming with a unique ride system of the rocking boat. I think this would...

    Icon or Hyperia; which of the UK’s Mack thrill coasters do you prefer?

    I do still wonder what if Icon had the same layout but opened as the second Xtreme spinner, then maybe this would be a bit harder. Sadly we are in this timeline and Hyperia for me is in a different league to Icon.

    Chessington World of Adventures holding public consultation regarding “current proposals and new developments” - potential new attraction?

    Guess with Paultons future looking bright they have to do something. Hopefully some TLC as i thought some parts of the park and zoo were looking quite shabby and they need to sort Scorpion Express out, either fix it or scrap it and add something new. When it comes to the waterpark i was just...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    Fantastic news, that hedge is smack down in the centre of the unthemed area, I was still thinking they may just stay to the spaces to the east and west of Cobra for the 2026 project but this would suggest they are building north. So maybe yes, this whole area, up to the Lost Kingdom will be one...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    I'm not sure on a database but just find a coaster/ride on google maps do a rough measure and see, for instance you could easily fit two Stunt Pilot Raptors in the whole space. If the whole space were to be used just for Vikings its massive, I'm thinking this could be a two part expansion if...

    Rank the UK’s Intamin coasters

    Now having done all of them here is how i rank them. 1: Stealth That launch, front row, world class, the rest of the layout is fab......there just needs to be more of it. (Big gap) 2: Sik Its a good multilooper, those rolls with the lapbar are a bit much though. 3: Thirteen A nice wiggle...
