    Oakwood

    Theme is announced... So far looks like a decent investment for the park too... Although the posted concept art is a bit... Wrong

    To be fair, they don't even need to show images of the ride testing, it's imposing enough as it is...

    Who wants a teaser video? Official Towers peoples
  4. In the States you can see up to (and sometimes over) $20 to park your car... Indeed, for a long long time, the UK was the exception to the industry in regards to paying for parking, we Brits over the years have been extrememly lucky in the sense of being reasonably different from the foreign parks, including longer seasons and free parking... Until people stop going though, this charge will still happen, like most expenses anywhere leisure based... The business world for you...

    I'll be at Djurs Sommerland that day, riding Juvelen and Piraten... Denmark > Smiler confirmed...
  6. Not difficult mind... Literally though, they need to do regular (not yearly, that's silly, but every 2/3 years) repaints on EVERYTHING... Flat rides, shops, restaurants, theming and coasters... If they can do that (goes for the other parks as well), then we can say things are better... Presentation goes the longest way in a guest's perception...
  7. Would explain why TPM has stopped acting like a school...

    3rd video is up...
  9. Will no doubt be the right answer... B&M's in America just seem to lack a piece of quality on a rather regular basis... Enjoyable, but, nothing that's not been done before or is actually unique...

    The best solution would be to remove the piece of crap in the area, and then there won't be a need for the scaffolding...
  11. Something that only really happens in the UK, most other countries actually repaint their rides...

    That's cos it's behind a massive mess of track... Not plonked down...
  13. That's why you get changed in the loos beforehand
  14. And the stupidity of not wearing practical footwear when you're walking around all day... Then again, I saw someone in a blue dress you tend to see on nights out at Thorpe Saturday, so people have no sense...
  15. To be fair, I do remember going on Banana Boat a few years back during Fireworks and it was playing Cha Cha Slide... To which we danced to... It was fab <3

    The problem with the station is because it's so big and has a vast expanse of plain concrete it looks so plain... Needs sommat to break it up more than the piping... Fake windows would have been a start... EDIT It LIVES! ATG

    Logger's Leap

    With the way the English weather is, are we surprised only about 2 proper water rides in the country actually get people soaked?

    Advert being filmed tonight then...
  19. Actually, I've just remembered that Treasure Trove used to have music, whatever happened to that?

    Can just see the guests looking confused as they try and go on the running ride only to find a half finished construction site... Then they'll trot over to Guest Services to express OUTRAGE!
  21. Weirdly on my visit (however briefly) on Saturday, only Stealth went down...
  22. Maximum possibility of 360 riders per hour? Not a great idea...
  23. Space and money would be my guess... Chessie have neither...

    It's partly momentum, but the brakes can and do slow the train down (in the same fashion as any MCBR would)...
