Not exactly a great way to introduce guests to it. But the ridiculous amount of netting also hates it when it rains too.

Going to be a few of these sad days where once iconic rides bite the dust.

Depends. Given most will work in and around Midlands, you'd have to move closer to Bedford, and would the wages be better or as good as anywhere you could get nearby? Universal have their own creative team. They don't need the minds behind Hyperia.

Mean Horizon has gone very quiet. Thing is currently with Towers, the current problems cannot be solved by throwing big investments down. The general experience of the park is the main issue that requires work on. Why is Paultons so well liked? Because the atmosphere is pleasant, they're not obviously attempting to fleece cash off you at every opportunity and queues are manageable. Towers doesn't really do anything of the sort currently. Work on maintenance, operations and support infrastructure/rides before we start building something "big". The entire top end (Dungeons/Walliams) needs reworking, Dark Forest and X-Sector DESPERATELY need support attractions, Blade needs replacing and we need a need flume ride somewhere. Most that'll happen is prices get knocked down as it moves from the currently advertised "premium" product it apparently is.

The sources in that BBC article just sound like people who they probably found lurking around the fence trying to get first glimpses. Feel sorry for the security if/when construction gets started. Having to deal with certain influencers appearing almost daily.

Always assume sarcasm. Like any project anything could happen to it. But once Universal had to reveal their hand it had far more chance than London Resort ever did. Everything crossed.

6 years is a long time. Plenty of chance it does a London Resort.

Got dragged/forced to the last You Me At Six gig tonight and they played The Swarm song. It amused me. Carry on.

Yep, tear it down and build a proper coaster instead.

You know things are bad when the joke account is being serious.

Depends if it keeps valleying.

Not for a very long time.

Managing expectations. It'll open or it won't. Such is life.

Wasn't the lift hill a bit of a prototype from Mack? B&M might've built an entire layout too 😉

See they're doing lift hill walks for Hyperia. For £120. And you need to have done a track walk on Colossus, Oblivion or Swarm within 3 years. Seems a bit off to enforce that.
