  1. London Bridge Experience rip off? Probably will be some London history themed attraction then looking at that... Like the idea of a London Bus Ride... EDIT - Someone discovered that Merlin have been involved in the trademark of "Shakespeare's England"... Could be the theme... If so, it'll rake it in... http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcase/Results/1/UK00003010777
  2. Benin

    Legoland Florida

    If I recall their Dragon is an extended Vekoma Roller Skater (as in, it existed before Merlin took over, and they added the dark ride section onto the start and end)...
  3. The first two things you'll see going into the area from the park entrance are pay extra games... What is this Wild Asia?
  4. And will still be a higher pph than G-Force...
  5. Tis starting to take shape now... Facebook
  6. Well, part of it anyway, I don't think it's technically owned by anyone but after years of having so many different attractions and very few staying permanently (bar really, the Aquarium and Namco long term), I wouldn't be surprised if Lambeth Council will be happy to take more of Merlin's money... As for what it could be, the only brand that isn't there atm Midway wise is a Discovery Centre... Whether that's a viable concept due to being near Legoland (even though this will be sold towards day tourists in the centre, which is fair enough, the others are) is arguable, but unless Merlin are using their imaginations for a completely new brand then that's my bet...
  7. I've heard it could well be a Zamperla Air Race... I hope so, would actually mean Drayton have a good varied selection of thrill rides if nothing else...
  8. The entirity of June is 10-6?That's impressive... Might hopefully kick off a desire for the parks to have decent opening hours a bit more regularly...
  9. Still waiting on Windsor to get some Robo-Arms tbh... That being said, I'd prefer the Legolands to have some individuality to themselves, rather than cloning all the rides (a la Dragon, even if they do variate by manufacturer/layout slightly)...
  10. Methinks we're confusing Windseekers and Starflyers... http://mondialrides.com/towerrides/all/wind-seeker http://www.funtime.com.au/data/index2.htm Whilst similar, Starflyers use chain connectors to the seating whilst Windseekers use solid steel beams (which in high winds cause them to flay wildly, yes Mark9, more wildly than the Starflyer at Tivoli did)...
  11. I swear we had one, but it's clear we don't... This is for alllll the Legolands (and Discovery Centres in the world), and to start this off with a bang... http://www.legoland.dk/en/About-LEGOLAND/Press/Press/press_ghost/ Ghost is a £3.6 million investment including 2 floors of themed stuff, a mirror maze and drop tower finale... It looks AMAZE <3
  12. Testing video ahoy! Looks good, and if the music playing is the ride's theme? Offfft...
  13. Dunno why Merlin gets the blame for Bubbles, or Charlie... Then again, Dark Forest...
  14. I would say they would hope that an Angry Birds show would require an actual queueline rather than a batching area... As Marc says, it'll probs be like Ice Age 4D, including a crappy green screen photo op no doubt...
  15. I'm surprised there hasn't been any visible application for it considering the Dodgems are a new building technically... Or does it come under the MTDP location indicators? If so that's what to look at to pinpoint the area...
  16. They'd repainted the track last year anyway, so it's not that big a deal...
  17. Depends what courses they're doing, probably sommat rubbish like Media or Game design... That thing is ridiculous though... Actually pathetic behaviour from people to act like that because they got told off for being too loud... Can't help but think they won't exactly go far in life with such attitudes... Shows how unlucky you can be at uni in regards to halls as well...
  18. They were on Facebook (Josh shared two of them if I recall)... They probably deleted them since...

    CBeebies Land

    Having a big stage though will add some cost to it if they're gonna put in a decent system... £8m should go reasonably far though...
  20. Now that looks good... Build the damn good concepts!
  21. And because making an effort an building a solidly built bridge queueline is out of the question for the park... Yet they were quite happy to build climable fences in the Tomb queue, I think more kids climb the apparently 'safer' metal fencing than with the shorter fencing... I really hope we don't get a boring queueline, Runaway's was one of the best queues in the country (before the Zoo/removal of the building balcony walk)...
  22. But it's a GOOD idea... This is the sort of concept that should be supported for it's uniqueness and originality... Otherwise we end up with crap like Storm Surge...
  23. Benin

    CBeebies Land

    Moonsquirters and Greendrops? So I make that 6 brand new attractions (plus the photo op)... Not bad at all considering...
  24. I think they're keeping the abandoned mine theme though... So I doubt we'll get any fancy new shell, the focus will be on the rockwork (I hope)... Cheaper that way...
  25. I know, getting paid £21k a year and all I do is spend the majority of my time on the internet
