S&S gave up on it, I highly doubt any other company would want to go for a similar design, as using hydraulics instead of air pressure would probably result in even more of an unreliable mess... Or at least it would still have the potential to suffer from the same issues as the original... As always, every year, the best thing for the park to do would be to scrap it and replace it with, well ANYTHING...

Lol at all the exit polls being horrifically wrong... Let's be honest here guys, no matter who got in (Labour, Tory, Coalition), we would've been absolutely screwed one way or another... It worries me about people voting for UKIP, shows how easy it is to pander/manipulate to a demongraphic, in the same way that this week saw a rather vicious attack towards Miliband by the Tory sided papers... The SNP taking pretty much full control of Scotland even after their choice to stay in the UK is weird too, but I don't pretend to know anything about politics anyway so...

Given that Japan have done a Resident Evil horror maze (with laser guns, which sounds FAB), and I think Orlando had one the other year (I forget), it's no surprise that gaming is a medium they've been interested in... Any Nintendo addition will be in Japan first though... And the potential ideas are very interesting... Even beyond the likes of Mario, Zelda and Metroid, what about a Pikmin themed attraction?

Because of COURSE you want an EuroMaus themed game!

Quoted for truth... It's always something that we enthusiasts take for granted, presumably because we'd love to live next door to a theme park... About the only things that might produce regular income outside of the park that I'd consider local are Monkey Puzzle, and the shops at Chessie South station...

This pretty much dwarves the entire park... I hope it fits in like Fluch does... Bit worried that it won't...

If people find the cast list confusing now, imagine what it'll be like for Infinity War.........

I'm sure if Varney could build it at a Merlin park he would...

Few more pics off TPR: I think Phannyland are obsessed with rockwork, I saw a POV of one of their older creds that has since been spited (by fire if I recall) and that was covered in rockwork too...

The Greens are REALLY frustrating... Some of their policies are so good, but then there's some really dumb ones... Also, they think they can magic some money out of nowhere for those things... Wouldn't recommend them tbh, nor any of them really... I don't even know who I'll vote for tbh...

They're all awful at life and we'd be better off forming an autonomous collective... Sums it up quite nicely I feel...

Like Dragon Falls rockwork I'm sure... It's been an idea for a long time, mainly about focusing back on the old entrance archway... Why they got rid of that in the first place I don't bloody know... Some parks seem to forget that the ride experience begins in the queueline...

I assume it's the ride system, mixed between that it always takes FOREVER to unload/load in the first place... There's no MCBR point on in, and the brake run is incredibly short (in comparative terms), so it'll be a ride that always stacks...

They're not helixes, they're sideways loops! #insidejoke

It's so ugly :/

Special Delivery!

They keep going on about 'full capacity' so I assume so... Of course, full capacity is 3 trains, so they're not exactly telling the truth here...

That Demolition Derby has been there since day 1...

Needs more Bench the Ride at Europa...

I'm glad someone quoted the post so it's deletion means it isn't lost in the wilds of the internet...

They're also bigging up the UK market this year so it'll be interesting to see if that impacts further on the attendance, since atm it's a very small number of guests...
