Danse Macabre is so good. Faffy as all hell even with LEGIONS of staff and possibly could do with an indicator of the internal wait beyond the batching point. However, the ride system is wonderful. And the experience incredibly theatrical, which shows a lot of reverence to the original Spookslot whilst making something that is generally a better attraction (if going against the everyone can ride it thing that Efteling tends to have within reason). If it wasn't for the fact it has the longest queue on park (consistent 45 mins yesterday, and our added parent swap faffage as a result) I'd be riding it a lot more. Park looking gorgeous as ever for Christmas. And it's hilarious to me that my now 2 year old can pretty much do every ride there apart from creds and Macabre. Probably won't try the Rapids though since raining all day yesterday.

Biggest problem for towers is what’s next… I see this becoming a problem too for Thorpe in the not too distant future. Oblivion- actually think this ride can have some significant maintenance and continue without too much issue. Galactica- needs significant investment and a new theme. Several million Rita - will require replacement within next 10 years. Tens of millions. On top of this X sector- new flat ride required Dark Forest - new flat ride required Forbidden Valley - replacement for blade now required My Biggest issue with the recent strategy is this. Millions and millions have been spent to end up with the same ride line up that previously existed. And because of the state of above millions more will have to be spent to tread water so to speak. Thorpe will have to start planning for replacing the likes of stealth and even Colossus at some point which will put them in a similar predicament.
