Are there seriously rumours about them removing the VR already? Cripes. That's incredible. Those vinyls covered in etched graffiti depresses me greatly, but the queue doesn't exactly help matters. How come you don't see that sort of vandalism at Disney parks? Is it a higher calibre of guest or are they just better at preventing it? ?

It can't be long before RR has it's last spin, surely. Dread to think what Merlin would put in it's space, probably nothing?

Surely an AirRace somewhere at a Merlin park is overdue... or just.... something new that's a flat Maybe AT could get some dodgems as a queue eater? I am pro having dodgems at theme parks, purely because it means not paying £3 a ride and they - tend to be - better maintained than at fairs.

C'mon guys, lets hug it out and talk about the return of Loggers Leap for 2019.

Seems like another great start to the day at Alton Towers - WickerMan, Galactica, Spinball, Th13teen all down... WickerMan has just opened. Hope the social media team are prepared for a busy day.

I would consider it for £395, but cannot stretch to £400 due to the sugar tax affecting my budget.

^ This 100%.

Indeed! We have to Jart to thank.

Looking like a potential 3rd day of downtime for Wickerman

It is about time someone tweeted them about Loggers again to be fair, so we get a slightly different response to last time that can then be analysed to the n'th degree.

But the social media team said they hoped Loggers Leap would be making a splash back soon so with that in mind who knows where Vortex will be back ?

It's finished already ? I can only begin to imagine what's been going on inside after 3 years of Alton Towers Loving Care, going to be incredible.

But there's a pop badge. Everyone loves those. In years to come, after Brexit has gone through and the apocalypse has arrived, people will trade goods and services for small circular plastic discs with a poorly fixed cheap sticker in the middle, and our saviour Mrs. T will overthrow the queen.

I appreciate that the report is from Reddit, but even if you take it with a massive pinch of salt, it's still completely inexcusable. Awful, awful reading.

I personally like the comments from people saying it's gone from "Year of the Walking Dead" to "Year of the Brain Dead" ?

Where the next short lived IP can come from? ?

Thought: If it says "now the legacy begins" - perhaps it's ex-Thorpe employees/creatives/people that are starting their own horror mazes? That would make some sort of sense.

Until Jart says it's not coming back, I will go to sleep each night full of hope and dreams that our timber related old faithful will be confirmed as splashing back next season. Or the season after that.

Exactly. Too good to be anything Merlin related

I feel sick.

Ooops. Need more coffee. 1/10 on the humour scale.

*insert obvious joke that trains should be flying out of the station as it's a B&M Flyer here* That's good to hear though Shame about Colossus but then I've never liked it anyway and would rather not ride than ride due to the headache situation that Han mentions!

Smiler's projector room seemed to be working OK when I visited in April - but agree, the state of the building outside is not good

No chance of even getting in I'm afraid. I'm slightly north of 30 age wise and got ID'd last time I went - as did everyone else.

A fwend of mine who hadn't been to THE ISLAND LIKE NO OTHER in quite some time visited last week and went on DBGTROTD knowing nothing about it whatsoever - and he thoroughly loved it. He particularly liked the hologram start, the VR with the doggo and most of all the fake shop which took him by surprise. On the flip side - he thought Living Dead THE RIDE was absolutely laughable and I quote "It's literally just the same coaster in the dark with the occasional zombie flashing at you, maze either side with like 1 dude in make-up trying to scare people". To be honest I don't know why they didn't use that description on the website?
