UK Attractions

I thought I would start an oakwood topic as I feel it is a good theme park!

Opening 2009 at the Alton Towers Resort is Sharkbait Reef, a new SeaLife centre for Mutiny Bay. It will be themed around pirates and will feature a 10 metre walkthrough tunnel. Below are some images advertising the new attraction...What do you think about this new attraction for Alton Towers? The SeaLife centre at Chessington has proved a huge success and a themed one at Alton Towers would hardly be a bad thing in my opinion...

Just a topic to talk about the zoo and do you think the zoo will expand in the future?

Discuss Beanoland here!

Rodeo Was a good ride when it was at chessington in the good days.Do you agree with its removal and do you think it will make a comeback?? Discuss the past and possible future of this great spinning ride.

With all the credit crunch and the fact that a lot of the rides at the Pleasure Beach are old, and half of them are owned by the bank, do you think Blackpool Pleasure beach will survive much longer?. what are your thaughts

Just a little insight into a non Merlin Theme Park located near Southampton, Paultons Park.Paultons Family Theme Park in Hampshire, on the edge of the New Forest, offers a great family day out with over 50 different attractions and rides included in the price. The variety of things to see and do includes thrilling and gentle rides, dinosaurs, museums, animated shows, play areas, exotic birds and other fun activities for all ages in garden setting.Paultons has been installing at least one new ride or attraction each year since at least the 90's. 2004 Jumping Bean & Jumping Jack2005 Kontiki & The Magic Carpet2006 The Cobra2007 Trekking Tractors & Gold Rush Falls…

I just realized area 3 have all the water rides except Bubbleworks! How amazing!?

Discuss SEASTORM here!What are your opinions of the ride?

discuss the ride

is the fast track system here the same as Thorpe park and is it worth it

as the thread title states, talk about the 2008 haloween event here!;)any dates or anything been confirmed. I've looked at the site, and all I can really note is the hocus pocus hall bewitched

I feel that Oblivion is loosing it's magic!! It's way to short. Yeah it brakes at the top and goes into a hole vertically but compared to the new rides of today it is nothing. I would like to compare it with Project Dylan (2009 Thorpe Coaster). I would feel there would be no comparison!

Sorry, but I need to have a rant and rave on this. Last week I went up to London for the day. I went to the Science Museum to find that attractions that I am waiting to see are still closed and may never re-open.Firstly, level 2 of the "launch pad" has been closed since about November last year. It was called digitopolis and is being refurbished. It was meant to open about April this year. Nothing has happened in almost a year. They have taken everything out of the floor, taken the "box sign" down that was hung up and lit. Why change this? This was fascinating, yet useful and knowledgable for kids!Secondly, the Food For Thought exhibition has been closed since the summer …

Does anyone remember this ride?. If not the 5th dimention, the Forbidden /Terror toomb?.This thread is for talk of those great rides

Today, I went to Beaulieu Motor Museum for the first time in about 15 years. I really enjoyed it. I love how the monorail goes through the museum!I went on the ride Wheels, all about cars through the years. It's not how I remember it as far as scenes go, yet it's still a classic. It smelt really funny in there, a bit like rubber. Nice smell, but it was nice to get away from it after a while.

Does anyone know how to find the chained oak tree in Alton?I do. I went and found it last year.I was impressed by it's size. There is certainly some truth that the chains have been there since 1821.

Congo River Rapids is a great water ride especially when both waterfalls are running!9/10

Discuss this Quacktastic Katanga Canyon ride here!I love it but personally prefer the rapids!

I love the ride, the way the goblins jump out at you and the pre-ride show.(Love Fartalot's Chair too)How does Halloween Hocus Pocus compare, I here it has live actors but gets 60 minute queues!

Corkscrew, in my opinion is still the 4th best Rollercoaster at Alton Towers, it provides 2 great inversions and is plenty of fun for all the family. Although it can band your head a little!9/10

I think Spinball Whizzer is an overrated ride that gets ridiculous queue times compered to the better spinning coaster at Chessington! It lacks theminmg and is incredibly slow loading! However you get some good air-time and a slightly different ride every time! 8/10

Thought I make a topic to discuss about the closed rides at chessingon. If you know the reason why they are shut please tell us why Dragons fury is closed. I think it going to be closed for a while because it need a new part so I you are planing a trip soon dragons fury still might be shut. I love dragons fury shame it is shut.

The scene at Margate today. Another classic coaster is taken away from us http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kol08/article/...rticle_id=39861
