It is a local news article but still interesting regarding Merlin. https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/18408551.merlin-entertainments-warns-uncertainty-future-lockdown-hits/?ref=fbshr

The Freezer The Curse Experiment 10 The Asylum

An interesting read looking at this yesterday. Probably also useful to have the direct link to the report itself for people to read too. https://www.merlinentertainments.biz/media/3068/merlin-entertainments-annual-report-and-accounts-2019.pdf

Looks awesome! But hey it still came out awesome! I look forward to the future of this park. It is still off of its early target of 1 million once Fenix opened but slowly getting there with record numbers in 2019. They still plan on expanding and will be turning into a resort with a four star hotel still being built. Details of the summary above here... https://toverland.com/pers/nieuws/attractiepark-toverland-behaalt-bezoekrecord-in-2019/

Makes a change to see a different layout on one of these, They're great for the family. Love the music, a bit different to typical theme park music. Very intrigued to see how much smoother these STC's ride to their former SLC designs! Vekoma is doing great things in recent times!

Want something extreme, go and sign up for Mcamey Manor 😂. Search it on YouTube at your own discretion if you don't know what it is!

I guess ultimately it would always be down to opinion anyway as I find the opposite to Mark 9. I rode it many times in its previous format always remembered them seeming great at the time, but having ridden The Bat and Iron Dragon, I found them to be both fairly dull (although The Bat was by far the better of the two) Having come back and ridden Vampire just 6 days later I felt the floorless trains were better all round bar the look/theme. Again just my opinion.

Great game here! I can already predict which two will be in the final 😆 Vulcan Peak - I have never laughed so much in a maze! Carnival of the bizarre Blair witch (2017 - present) The Freezer The Curse 10th anniversary roaming actors (that cake!) Cabin in the Woods Big Top (2015)

Why do you consider stealth number 1? Also please don't change the wording within a quote box as what you quoted was not EXACTLY what I put! As what I actually wrote could suggest I liked them equally 😁 However, it is for me actually only my number 2 at Thorpe and is still fantastic, but the fact its over so quickly cannot make it my favourite. Nemesis Inferno however is longer, has aged fantastically and gives an all round fun and fairly intense ride! For about the last three or four years I prefer it to the Original.

Yep very interesting times, while I agree things change by the hour, I still just don't see it. However, I would love to be proven wrong and would be a welcome change to see some new innovative ideas come on board.

It's just a bit of fun! Besides are Stealth and Inferno not the best two rides at Thorpe. The last three remaining rides probably are genuinely the most popular three! 🙄 Everyone complains not much is going on around here these days but also complain when anything does! 🤷‍♂️

Do you realistically think we will be seeing any Halloween events this year? I mean you have to be close and with social distancing likely to be in some form until a vaccine is ready I just can't see how these types of attractions will be possible this year even if lockdown is relaxed. Just my gut feeling! Good on the scare nominations. I think all three are very strong contenders.

YES after all that the exact same end as last year! Just what I wanted all along! Boom! 😀😀😀 Now for the Chessington one Mwuhahaha

Having done the old vampire and for years believing the old trains were better on the ride, I'm sorry they really aren't. Having this year alone done The Bat and Iron Dragon I can safely so the newer floorless trains are far better. The old trains really didn't swing that much on vampire except in the tunnel, yet people claim they did. They were awesome looking though, will give them that. Just watch this clip from 43:46 as proof they don't swing much! They did look better and allow for a far more efficient operation (One stop in station and no seatbelt). Do still massively miss classic chessie though 😍

Matt seems to forget previous requests! Same happened to me haha. Still good effort though! Very talented to be able to learn by ear and then just play it!

Similar to Europa Park and their drone footage last week, Paultons have done the same. Looks such a well kept and aesthetically pleasing park.
