And yet you willingly included your email address in a post and got signed up to lots of porn accounts. Guess you can't see everything. What would you like us to speculate about? The comedy duck from The Flume being included here because all manors have ducks? Maybe they could include the giant blueberry girl from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. All manors have blueberry bushes.

I'm sure I'll apologise if you do the same for your inaccurate predictions for Rocky Express and Forbidden Tomb. A stopped clock is right twice a day. You saw a rumour, believed it, then it turned out to be true. You didn't come up with it magically of the top of your head. You are not Nostradamus.

I suppose with the windows they are going to need something. If you’re going to have a spiel on the train, then it’s going to be weird having plain white windows to stare at

Disney do it a lot (rides being sponsored by weird unrelated companies) for financial reasons. Test Track is Chevrolet if I recall. Can't imagine Thorpe/Merlin need a government entity to be associated with this. They've got enough problems as is with projects going horrendously without throwing money at a theme park attraction. Thorpe will probably use any imagery that's close enough to invoke the idea (such as the destination posters which are VERY akin to real life ones) without needing any permission to use logos, etc. Predicting it'll be the least popular ride at Thorpe is a claim considering the competition and the attraction's own messy history. Black Mirror still exists doesn't it? Whatever the Frog Hopper is called now?

@MattyMoo I get visions that Ghost Train will open on the 23rd of March. I predict the ride will be a total failure and the least popular ride at Thorpe. I think Ghost Train will have a Network Rail sponsorship attached. Finally I sense unlike Alton Manor Ghost Train will not last long. My instincts tell me that Ghost Train will be totally removed for the 2025/6 season. Whereas I expect Alton Manor at Alton Towers will last 30 years. I don’t have any insider knowledge yet I think Ghost Train is opening as a filler attraction. Basically so Thorpe Park can advertise a new ride and retain interest from visitors. On a slightly different subject I wouldn’t be surprised if the props from the gift shop make the journey to Staffordshire. To be precise I think these props will be located in Spooks’R Us or whatever the Alton Manor gift shop will be called.

It could be considered thematically realistic to have an old victorian train depot building right next door to a flash modern(ish) train station. Plenty of examples on Network Rail.

Nice concept art. But please... not the Victorian carriage. Son's crying now.

I'm clearly not as observant or enthusiastic as I thought I was, because that facade looks exactly the same to me.

So, I went back to the Parisian Disney Resort. Almost 6 years since my last visit, some things have changed whilst others have remained the same. Both parks were very lively (but not necessarily super busy) during half term week and seemed to feature a lovely atmosphere throughout. On both days Studios closed at 21:00 and the main park at 22:00, making for some excellent opening hours. Besides some refurbishments around the entrance/Disney hotel, (asbestos filled) Small World and other patches around, the park looked great. Maybe better kept than Magic Kingdom (if I’m honest). The 30th celebration show was a delight and I adore the logo, which is a masterpiece! The parade seemed the same as before as did the main nighttime show, which has grown on me from last time, but I still consider dreams better. As much as WDW is the better resort, Paris generally has the best classics, whether it be the tragic mysterious Phantom Manor, the grander arrangement of POTC or the more magnificent Big Thunder ride variant. Space Mountain needs to lose the Star Wars overlay now IMO. Studios is a strange one as some of the park feels the same, but others unrecognisable. The changes to TOT make the ride feel more unique, but still can’t decide whether I like them. Avengers Campus looks more refreshed from the former mish-mash before but feels hit and miss. I liked the Avengers coaster more than I was expecting but still miss RNRC. Webslingers is perhaps the blandest attraction done by Disney, even if the shooting element is fun. Cars Road trip was alright, but feels weird how out of the way it feels from the rest of the park. The new nighttime show was largely enjoyable eventhough I’m not the biggest superhero fan and it meant basically closing half the park an hour beforehand. In contrary to the parks feeling more alive, the Disney Village felt dead and lifeless with no atmosphere at all. The former buildings of Planet Hollywood, Ludwig’s, Cafe Mickey and more all closed and derelict. No atmosphere at all even with the remaining open units. Crowded House’s Don’t dream It’s Over playing whilst passing really summed up the sorry state of this area, which is literally being ripped away from what it once was. As much as I prefer WDW, I can’t help but have a soft spot for this resort, even after all this time. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I have a soft spot even now for DLRP because it started a whole revolution of park visiting and trips back on my first visit.

@Hethetheth I am beginning to think I’m psychic. I’ve predicted 3 events that have happened. 2 of which involve Theme Parks. Firstly I foresaw that Project Amazon at Chessington would be related to Jumanji. Obviously months ahead this new area for Chessington was declared to be The World Of Jumanji. Secondly I immediately had a premonition that the refurbished Duel would grant Emily Alton and Snowy bigger roles. Thirdly about a year ago I sensed that a particular Carer of mine would be pregnant by the end of 2022. To the amazement of myself and my Carer she is now Pregnant. @Hethetheth you should apologies. Your refusing to admit your wrong as your freaked and jealous of my psychic abilities. If your sceptical about my insight into the future explain how I could know the outcome of a couple of Theme Park developments and a pregnancy. Even some of my Carers believe I have been gifted powers.

You might want to avoid supermarkets for the next couple of months m8

I am literally SO SICK(stone) of the phrase Easter Eggs. In EVERY. SINGLE. VLOG. AND. PIECE. OF. MARKETING.
