Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Yes I remember this. Just staff wearing pig masks that would come up close in the queue. There was also a person in the rack by the stairs trying to escape from the trap.

Ride Accidents
Fishy! I don't see how he ends up on his side that quickly unless he literally laid over people as the ride started. Doesn't seem to be much backing this up around the web and also says this as an update on TPR's video. UPDATE! The report of the man standing could be erroneous as it may be a copy/paste typo from another ride accident. Reports at the moment are very sketchy and few and far between. Since this happened in China, a lot of the information has not been out yet. If you see any additional news or information about the accident, please post the links in the comments section. Thank you!

Tomb Blaster
Am I the only one that likes the new logo??? I think it's much better than before. Actually looks Egyptian!!!!!

Tidal Wave
I thought for a split second it was just an old photo. But can see Swarm in background. Yay! Glad it's working again. Let's hope it's still working by the summer

Nemesis
Shame we aren't likely to ever see the blood waterfall again. They aren't allowed to use the dye as it was supposedly against environmental policies and was apparently seeping into local water courses.

Port Aventura
Wow it really does look uneven. Anyone for Furious Baco 2?
-
Paultons Park
Fifth and seventh actually
-
Galactica
I loved the air theme, but loving the sound of this too, lets hope it plays loudly like the Smiler
-
Dreamland Margate
Personally I don't think the admission price system helps. A park like dreamland would get more custom having a token and wristband system as it did in the past.

The Smiler
As irritating as this is it will be nice to hear it blasting out in x sector again! Was strange not hearing it my last two visits.

Planet Coaster - new theme park sim from Frontier makers of Elite: Dangerous
Developers diary 3, focus on the modular piece by piece building system. Shows some great levels of detail. Much prefer the look of this to RCT World.

Logger's Leap
Reply to a post on FB asking how the loggers refurbishment is going: Hi Dan, we will not be able to provide ongoing updates on the status of Logger's Leap, however we can confirm that the ride will remain out of action for the 2016 and we hope for it to make a splash back in 2017 =] Sounds like they really still don't know at this stage whether it will be back or not what with the word "hope".

Rameses Revenge
I agree. I would say get in as many rides as you can during those peak dates as I would lay money on it being its last season.

Theme Park Competitions
I tried playing that game hundreds of times and could only ever manage a top score of about 400,000 and so never able to get to top three. So annoying!

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland
It is expensive but still gets the crowds. gladiator which was the one £9 ride still had a large queue when I saw it on the two visits I had. (over four rows filled in the cattlepen area it had) Sadly they aren't going to lower it if people still pay it. The event had another successful year and supposedly pulled in 3 million visitors over the six weeks. http://eventindustrynews.co.uk/festivals-outdoor-event-news/hyde-park-winter-wonderland-enjoys-another-successful-year/

Logger's Leap
It was shut a lot on and off from around August time right up till the end of season. Very tempremental.

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Sadly almost all of the non enthusiast people I told said they were disappointed and wished it was a rollercoaster. Thats all the majority of people seem interested in these days.

Alton Towers General Discussion
AT are in desperate need of some new flat rides. Its something I have always felt the park has lacked. Shame about ripsaw. Funny how Blade was supposed to be removed first but somehow seemed to live longer.

Fantasy Island Skegness
Yes. Just passing on the news not out to look for a sarcastic comment. Also just pointing out its unusual for a park to be repainting a ride as they put themselves up for sale.

Fantasy Island Skegness
Fantasy Island is officially up for sale. Surprised they are bothering to repaint Odyssey based on seeing this. http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/Popular-Lincolnshire-theme-park-sale/story-28339697-detail/story.html
