This is replacing the Viking area, dunno what you mean by the Africa area disappearing... Sure it'll be of good quality, I hope the play area will be suitably Germanic...

When you're starting to pick days that you assume will be quiet (is Thorpe EVER quiet now?), then you're clearly not enjoying the park, otherwise you'd just go whenever you felt like it... You're not the only one sick of repetition here... Especially given that your highlighted issues are rather consistent throughout the year...

That's a fantastic lift hill...

Thorpe's PR team right now:

Have you BEEN on the Northern Line?

That really shows how careful you have to be as a business, how easy it is to just find random things out like that these days...

Don't see anyone 'crying' about the stuff over Air really, no one in the topic has flat out said it will never happen, just people thinking it's a stupid idea... Then again, most people on here who do have 'insider info' don't just go blurting it out publically all the time just because they crave the attention... Though I guess when you're no longer contracted by Merlin you can start saying whatever you like, even if it prevents you from getting any further 'inside' knowledge now...

The irony of you calling out people for pretending to know something is rather amazing...

Or (more likely), doesn't want Thorpe to be annoyed with this forum because the secret got leaked out... Whether or not you think the secretive angle works or not, shouldn't just blurt out any old information, because it does greatly annoy the parks if they've chosen something to remain away from the public until their own set release date...

Maybe we could play hangman instead of the pronoun game?

They're crap/boring/pointless though... We've already learnt that Splash Battles in the UK are silly additions, just because they're on a set of Teacups doesn't make them any better... Uninspiring choice if they are to be believed, which I don't, since they've got a fair amount wrong before...

Vekoma Facebook page I really love the purple track <3

Ha! Expect alllllll of the PMs to suddenly turn up now that you've said that...

I'm surprised it took this long for a Vengeance suggestion to resurface tbh...

Isn't that artwork from Warhammer 40k? I don't understand people who make fake posters or whatever and pretend it's official... Are these sites THAT desperate for hits?

Sheer guesswork tbh, a lot of them are so interchangeable, especially since some haven't been ridden for a decade or so... Though the top and bottom ones are easy to establish, no question... Only Tatsu and below are the ones I really don't enjoy...

Bump for my list of ridden B&Ms: Nemesis Oz'Iris Katun Shambhala Raptor Oblivion Superman la Attraction de Acero Baron 1898 Krake Dragon Khan Black Mamba Oblivion - The Black Hole Batman la Fuga Dueling Dragons Ice Silver Star Diamondback Silver Bullet Medusa Kumba Air Nemesis Inferno Swarm Montu Apollo's Chariot Griffon SheiKra Kraken Batman (MM) Daemonen Raptor (CP) Dueling Dragons Fire Scream! Incredible Hulk Great Bear Tatsu Flug von Damonen Monster Riddler's Revenge Mantis Flight Deck Vortex

I honestly didn't expect it to be THAT big... Though I guess with a walkthrough thing as well (sets from the show) it shouldn't be a surprise... But even so, it's damn impressive work...

There was a video from Legoland Germany when they were putting in the massive Lego X-Wing in their Robo-Arm ride building which showed off a massive maintenance access door as well... Given that usually the building shell is built first before any ride mechanisms, of course it'll have a giant door so that construction vehicles can enter it... There's so much desperate jumping to conclusions for this thing, don't people know how much the trackless technology costs?

It's a real shame that they've had to add seatbelts (as in, 3 point seatbelts) to the ride, even with lapbars... Preview event last night apparently went down very well, especially the scaremazes...

They're relating their newer rides to the random dragon characters they have about the park, there's a statue of one in Chiapas' backwards disco room for example...
