2007 fright nights me and another old member of this forum who worked at the park, platforming Inferno 2 trains, 2 man team as short stagfed.....checked loaded and ready to dispatch waiting for the lift block clear for 2 hours no stacking took place, we basically worked the **** out of the queue, as we dispatched sonearly we had 30-45 seconds to get 1 person from each row to collect the bags rather than every person cramming the bag room etc.... it was great fun and a decent results ive never seen since! it just takes will and enthusiasm both with ride hosts and getting the riders on board for the challenge!

Tbh I worked a snow day and stealth was open shortly after the park, and nemesis around lunch time, most flats were open as normal ....

(In a jokey IT fail way) stuntman, we get you like the videos, you dont have to post it 5 times though ?

Pluk, gullivers at under a year old ?? I think your starting a tad tame tbh. 1.2 meter high heels and onto nemesis they go ? No seriously though I'm in the same boat kiddie parks are gonna be a bit of a thing for a few years as I will have to get my little one into coasters tbh (my needs come third now apparently ? Baby, partner,me)

Ive got it........ europa park to have a private runway and terminal !

Lets see thorpe once, alton once, chessington once. The lowest park count in like a century mainly as my partners pregnancy spanned the season and a little buddle of joy made it into the world in mid October to get her first onride picture on the gruffallo on the last day of the season ?

Isnt the french airport strasbourg the closest in line with this plan, I know ryanair flew there last year?

The workshop was extended a while back pre2009 there is room for 2 trains in the shed ( dont know if routinely used or just over winter for rebuilds)

Tbh while your at it Europa park, please link this project to the train station and the airport and dont forget a stop at the water park........ whats the worlds longest cable car? Why not go for the world record while your at it ?

I remember working snow days at thorpe, stealth and nemesis inferno were the only coasters that could operate, now even they seem to be an issue in the cold

Whilst I get allot of your placements on mazes, I dont get why the asylum is in 20th ??

Tbh anyone remember bling at bpb ? This would be a bad idea, thorpe has a respectable amount of flats, its towers that needs the flat’s investment tbh. I hope the whole area gets a major investment and is beborn keeping to the west/canada theme. maybe add a traditional saloon to the area serving food/ drink (smith and western operated anyone?). With a decent woody comparable to woodan/troy. Interacting with a good old fashion mine train (not a mack powered). The area has a decent footprint and potential, lets see what thorpe come up with. . . (Tbh it will likely be something boring and uninspiring)

I think surely it depends on what the issue is other X car coasters exist and still operate. So its not like its the last one..... tbh for a short coaster I quite liked it.

Europa park do have a system it just isnt very well used or known of, I know phantasialand are abit weird with disabilities full stop so we never even asked, (heard of numerous issues/horror stories). Portaventura also have a system in place and it is used alot more frequently than the other EU parks.

Quick question where will this maze run ? If platform keeps its current route and with blair witch back I dont see how it can be creek related?

Not able to see this pic. ?

http://www.jmcomputers.f2s.com/lawnswood/ we quite like this one it’s literally on the doorstep to the park ?

The big top was only on the beach for 1 year ... there is still plenty of time to get it ready

After 1 day one has been repaired and is back in service ....

Minor crash on the EP Express this morning, thankfully no serious injurys. This occurred during shunting of an empty train https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/10593/Ongeluk-met-monorail-Europa-Park-treinen-botsen-op-elkaar.html

Yes I know its ride area, however thats not to say it cant directly join a slightly wider room section without any gaps.

To be honest, a fast track is a free win for merlin, it costs the company no money as a form of compensation. But ads to further problems. To be honest, a ticket to come back at park close for that ride (or equivalent announced ride) would be a more beneficial perk. As there is no knock on effect for other customers/operations.

Theres pictures of lots of steel beams around it so guess it maybe structual.
