There has to be some pretty good reason if Big Top isn’t to return this year. *snaps fingers*

That's a difference and a half...

If DBGT only cost £30, it now makes perfect sense why the VR headsets are always broken! Though it does explain a lot mind...

Zombie Hunt and Saw Alive both had their last day's of operation for the summer today. Surely a lineup is imminent at this point? Last year the reveal was on September 5th, so maybe it'll be the same/similar this year. We'll have to wait and see.

Sure is an interesting move, considering it's meant to be the "year of the walking dead" yet making a big fuss over BW. seems those markings are container size. But to remove Big Top for Sanctum, very very silly...

Oh god No....... This conversation brings me back to southparks when there was a lot of hate on the name being "Stealth".

Likely? Guaranteed considering the "theming" has re-appeared! I would assume there will be a new maze where those yellow markings are, jokes aside.

Yellow markings on the floor? New coaster confirmed.

Right then, let's see how this has changed since I've been on most of the rides at Towers and Thorpe (excluding Oblivion, Stealth and Saw) 1. Nemesis - Obvious reasons 2. The Swarm - Veeerrry very close between this and the Smiler. I think I enjoyed Swarm more but they're pretty much level (my shoulders don't enjoy Swarm though) 3. The Smiler - ^ 4. Nemesis Inferno - I wasn't convinced at first but after three rides I am. Honestly, these four are very close. 5. Megafobia - This and Wicker Man are pretty much level, Megafobia just about edges it though for it's airtime and length. 6. Wicker Man - ^ 7. Galactica - Between this and Dragon's Fury, I like Galactica but not as much as those above. 8. Dragon's Fury - I still love DF. Just like pretty much all the other rides these four are very close. 9. Colossus - If I had been on more big coasters it wouldn't even make it in, not too keen on concussions or breaking my neck. 10. Flight of the Pterosaur - I'm honestly surprised this even makes it in, let alone be on par with Colossus. In all honesty I had just as much if not more fun on Flight than Colossus Rita doesn't even make it in because everything after the launch I literally find boring.

The rumour back then suggested they couldn’t use The Edge becusse of The Pizza Hut Pizza, wasn’t The Humdinger also in contention? Anyone got a list of the original suggested names?

There was a pizza called The Edge at the time, but that was sheer coincidence - there was never any talk of a pizza hut sponsorship! The 'Edge' logo looked exactly the same as the Stealth logo, with no sponsorship in sight!

I still find it completely, random, that Blair Witch could possibly return. I understand it’s looking likely; but with Timber Tug in its entrance, and the fact it’s a Lionsgate IP maze it doesn’t make logical sense. I was never a fan of the Lionsgate mazes. For me, BW I never had a good / exciting run; likewise with MBV; and Cabin, I just felt was a bizarre take on an awful film and it never particularly enthralled me. But then I was always an advocate for Big Top and Studio’s one year (never did Asylum / pre Studio days). In honesty, I don’t care for Platform either. So without BT, it does look like a disinteresting year for Fright Nights for the reasons others have already stated.

Well, I've been on one launch coaster and that's Rita. So Thirteen's brake run launch takes the prize

Top Thrill Dragster is definitely the best launch for acceleration, it’s just amazing. Stealth’s launch is still good though. Maverick is definitely my favourite launch for pace and momentum, it’s so surprising but great at the same time. Taron’s second launch is an honourable mention too! Thirteen’s pre-station return launch is strangely satisfying too.

They definitely aren't markings for a tent. So... R.I.P. Big Top? ? They look more like markings for shipping containers to me. Sanctum relocation maybe?

Nor have I, this will be my first! So you aren’t alone there don’t worry. I’m sure within 5 minutes we’ll wonder why we were even nervous in the first place

This is the most accurate and succinct review of Th13teen possible.

I've only done Rita, Stealth, Red Force and Furius Baco but really they're all rather boring and lack force except Furius Baco, which has a nice preshow.

I heard a family at Chessington looking for Derren Brown's Ghost Train. Well mate, you want to get in the car, head down the M25 a bit...
