Amanda is amazing and sexy, even if she did callously take a chainsaw to Cyclone. I was against her at first and her ****ing obsessions with fountains, but slowly but surely she's tarted up the PB in to the 21st century. Yeah, ok, so from an historical "classic" point of view it's a shame, but modernising will keep it competitive for many years. It's only a tiny minority that actually care for the "traditional" side of seaside parks anyway.
Erm as for Nick Land, I still can't get hard over it. I don't know what it is. I'm sure it'll be great fun and superbly match the Nickleodeon theme, but...I dunno...it's too American? Here's a traditional British seaside park which is modernising and now it's adding a large American franchise. It's all a bit tacky, but I wouldn't expect anything less from Blackpool.
Ride wise, I like the spirally spike on the disk-o. That'll look hypnotic as it spins.
