  1. Actually StevenVig I have a friend with a brother who is 28 and has autism and going on children's rides that he can fit in calms him and he finds it enjoyable. So there are people who go on children's rides as grown ups. And although I've never been one for creds it's a theme park forum for crying out loud so there's probably a large proportion on here who do! 🤦‍♂️
  2. Are... You... OK???
  3. Someone saw someone with a pot of paint, doubt it's anything much. The brown fences are probably continuing to be repainted as some of those were touched up a little towards the end of closed season. What upsets me is the care for the boats (and other ride vehicles in closed season), they just get left in the outside vulnerable to all sorts of weather. If this park actually bothered covering ride vehicles they wouldn't be in their awful aesthetic condition.
  4. I am one that does love Millenium Force, my second favourite ride on park. It does have airtime, yet people say it doesn't and it just flies around most of the course, which is what I love. That soundtrack however, bloody annoying!
  5. The boats are a lot smaller on the log flume coming to Chessington. Here is the exact ride...
  6. I have not heard of any rumours personally among the coaster community, and don't think we will see anything like that happen. A retheme or refurb would be nice though.
  7. It was for the video! Don't believe that!

    I wouldn't call it an eyesore, I like what can be seen coming out of the dome think its one of the best entrances/views to a park seeing everything as you step through right in front of you with taller rides at the back and side. Maybe I'm different because I grew it with it always being there so it has nostalgic value.
  9. I certainly did not pay for them at WW. I stood with you whilst the rich lot went on! 🤑 Like I say anyway it will be good for the younger audience, not me whether short or not.
  10. Good for the younger audience I guess, but aren't they both small buildings? Not going to be a very long ride surely?

    I doubt it means any expansion or real changes, it's merely new H&S requirements with regards to the water from how that reads.
  14. X I don't count as new, it was merely changed slightly. Dodgems admittedly I was thinking of, and the other two were only open a month a year (yes I know Bouncezilla wasn't all year, but significantly open more than FN mazes)
  15. It's for that RMC opening this year!

    Well we know you're excited for it! 😂 As awful a coaster it is, it's still another ride and will spread the queues out. Oh wait, it only fits ten people!
  19. They said "the first ever Elmer themed ride". Basically the same.

    Garbage! Although a clone it still looks smaller!
