Towers Street Restaurant offers breakfast too, and Chessie used to when they still had Greedy Goblin... Both worked though because people would be in those points of the park before opening, Thorpe does not have that space to play with... People arrive later, but leave early... It's a very strange trend from the UK market... The amount of late openings you used to see where there's pretty much no-one in the park and everything is walk-on... I think Chessie still does this at 6pm during Halloween time...

At least Towers haven't had their hours cut down...

Walibi's 'coaster' looks bloody awful... Glad they went for GCI, they wouldn't tell us at all who the manufacturer was when we visited earlier this year... That's potentially TWO fantastic wooden coasters within a few hours of travel (Ireland)...

If people are going on any ride expecting it to be a top 10 they'll be disappointed 99% of the time... That said, Rusty Banana at Tivoli broke into my top 10 because it was so much fun... Perhaps the Scenic will be enough for many people in a similar regard... I'm going Sunday, hopefully it'll be ready for then, though I think the rest of the place seems to have a decent vibe... Can't be any worse than what it was like alllllll the way back in 2003...

Toverland is apparently AWFUL to reach via public transport... Might be best to find the nearest train station and try and get a taxi... Not a lot around Efteling post park times... Might be worth eating at the hotel... I recommend the Pancake House (Polle's Kuchen), because it's fab... Obviously as with any park, big rides first (Baron, etc), luckily they're all next to each other meaning you don't have to faff between them... Book online for tickets?

The ONLY thing that could potentially ruin this ride would be OTSRs... HOPEFULLY the coaster gods will look down upon this ride and give us normal lapbars or Intamin's take on the Mack Mega Coaster ones...

In one of the testing videos there were SFX emanating from the pit, which were presumed to be the 'White Women'...

Vleermuis spite NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That's 2 creds you're missing! Isn't it strange that we have such a fantastic family park only 45 minutes from Calais?

Been mentioned that there are: 2 new scaremazes (one includes being blindfolded) TOTT with a new route 2 new scarezones (FV and DF) I'm sure those interested will be amazed that there are new things happening at a Merlin Halloween event...

People on here don't deny that this happens at all... It's the misconception that the ride and sales teams work together to create this falsehood of longer queues to sell Fastrack... I'd wager that the majority of the rides team members would rather see Fastrack removed completely, rather than deliberately assist them to sell more... Why would the rides team even care, it's not their performance targets...

That's... Weird, especially as it's a relatively modern coaster in itself already...

Surely, the park would want to push forward with SW8 in order to get the positivity back into the place? They did say it was an Intamin though, which isn't what I've heard... Plus Flume rumours have been going around for YEARS...

*smug*

Air... Generally reliable? Using a ride that crashed once before?

Looks like one of these: http://www.technicalpark.com/amusement-rides/loop-fighter/ Dunno if it would be ideal for a theme park environment though... I can only think of two parks off the top of my head that have anything from these guys, and they're both in Denmark...

They didn't just do the rides though did they, they also did the zoo... Perhaps they were so over-awed by the zoo (which is pretty decent quality, aside from the areas that haven't been redeveloped in years) that they enjoyed their day... London Zoo costs £27 on the gate as a comparison... Now THAT'S expensive!

I believe the majority of it will be a dark ride, only that one little portion will be visible outside... Possibly to show off the ride to riders... It doesn't have that typical Disney feel, perhaps after Hong Kong's initial failings Disney felt that this angle would more suit the market... Definitely room to expand, the park map has a MASSIVE green area between Tomorrowland and the main entrance... Definitely room for the park to add more attractions, as it does seem to lack a lot of 'filler'... Guess the E-Tickets will be fab though...

Zacspins are dreadful and should be burnt to the ground... *shudders*

Yeah the short version of Mystery Castle is just disappointing... A real shame it even exists to be frank... I also find Mamba, a bit dull... It's a real ride of two halves, as the inversions are all pretty fab, yet the constant turns after are just dull and repetitive... A shame cos it has all the right ingredients...

Seeing those multi-train shots reminded me of Maverick... And some Italy pics:

As Bill said, these signs are common as much at most places sensitive to having people jump into their ride areas (I.e. USA)... Like, the addition of these is nothing to really moan about, would not be surprised if the HSE, having been having a much closer look at the park recently, have pushed for these... Not worth getting in a twist over, like apparently the word 'DEATH' being a step too far... It's words like that which can actually get through the rather thick skulls of the modern population... Even Russia had has to do signs over people taking selfies doing stupid things! It's the world we live in...

What about Winjas though? Or River Quest?

No...
