Most of the Spanish just jump the queue for free, why would they bother paying to do so?

Similarly in Germany, very few people use the Fastrack option if available (Heide, Lego with Qbot, Movie Park with unlimited for €25 and Phannylands strange 4 tickets for €15)... Probably a culture thing more than anything, as well as the lack of one shots and other bits... The other option is push throughputs to the highest standard of course, which would negate any queues... But even places like Europa can't remove queues completely, so why Thorpe thought they could in the first place was beyond me...

After riding Karacho I can see why Smiler has OTSRs rather than lapbars... Not comfy and result in a lot of upper body movement, which wouldn't be a positive for dear Smiler...

Cedar Fair parks are the same... Very minimal differences between them it must be said... As for this, not overly excited for it... It'll probably be good though...

The way they're operating sounds more like a park that has suffered a serious accident on the ride, rather than one that's turned into s bodge job of parts and repairs...

The idea that free Fastrack can just will away any guest issues is one of the reasons that the Merlin parks are so poorly run...

Why not complain at GS officially when on park (and claim the inevitable free Fastrack to make you go away quicker)?

Not every park has to be owned by a major company to be a success... Sometimes parks just need owners who care and produce a quality experience, which is easily possible at a park like Oakwood...

If Inferno had been built in Germany, it would definitely have fire, since they're obsessed with the stuff... The volcano needs a clean more than anything if I recall, being all mossy and mergh looking... Plus actually existing on the exit staircase as well would've been a bonus... The 2000s were really strange for the overall project quality...

One can only hope we're gonna get a Gerstlauer Bobsled rather than another dull Wild Mouse...

People got these passes for Scarefest, these will clearly sell just as well if not more so...

Probably trying to raise funds as no one visits the park... Tis difficult for me to justify the excessively long trip north for it when I've done everything there and nothing new has been added because they cant afford it... Shame they cancelled their lodge idea as it would've gone a long way to helping the park...

Why should people who live locally just "bare with it" though? Imagine actually living nearby and having traffic going past your house for several hours of the day... Certainly not something I would want to deal with...

With Efteling, it might not even open next year with their history... Worth holding off, Netherlands isn't expensive to visit at all...

Legoland won't have a bleak future because it'll still pull in the guests... Whilst the ride has been rejected, the reasons behind it are reasonably sound from locals, indeed, there's a good difference between parks that have a good relationship with locals and those without... It would probably be in Merlin's better interests to start helping locals out when they have such qualms about the nearby park... Perhaps further widening of the road to Lego is the best option? With some changes to light sequencing and other easier to do tasks as well...

I can currently confirm that the site is still dirt and mud... Based upon the markers throughout the park, the layout seems really random... Hopefully they'll release one soon...

Chiapas is so much fun, and has an acceptable amount of wetness allowing some re-rideability... Hopefully once the new Mystery area work is done they'll tear out Night Hawk because it's so awful... Their dragon mascots and the changes made to the entrance since my last visit in 08 are fantastic... Such a good park

March 2013 that is...

Most Top Spins are more performance than actually being a good ride... Still, riding it tomorrow... So excite <3

It's embarrassing how the park still does not have the infrastructure to deal with days that get busy... The lack of rides with any form of decent throughout kill it completely... Even if Fury and Falls had been open, there would just also be long queues for them, especially Fury...

Universal dont change their kids area during their event... Granted its not in the middle of the park but even so... Thorpe wont change anything, at most will just tell any roaming actors not to go in there... Though from what I saw last year kids don't give two damns about scare actors...

Sounds like a classic case of the Intamins to me... A very daft situation for the park to be suffering from, wont be doing much for their KPIs nor Six Flags' reputation...

They had to replace Roller Soaker to achieve that again... Eh, non plussed on it as I'd prefer an ACTUAL Fun House instead of a ride themed to one...

Now why would you want to go to some rubbish looking Disney park millions of miles away when you have the best ever theme parks in the world just around the M25? Daft Turtle is daft...

Looks a wee bit cramped, though probably no more than the normal hotel rooms are to be fair to it... S'ok, but nothing special tbh...
