OK Corral in the south of France wins best new ride train of 2018:

If it's making you want to actually return to Blackpool then it's the best ride ever built

#germanefficiency

Still a little ways to go...

'Classic' comedy? The musical is only just over a decade old!

Jeez...

The building will be utterly ruined judging by the images and videos going round... Hopefully Europa tackle this with minimal disruption...

Park official Twitter confirmed it as Piraten in Batavia... Hopefully they can sort it quickly... Might help it get a refurb sooner rather......

Unnecessary sniping is unnecessary... Let's see how it deals with an actual busy day before we proclaim it as bigger than Jesus?

Arise beast!

They used to own Darien Lake... What a weird choice... Only two actual parks on that list, Frontier City is a strange choice as well I'd say but I dunno how built up Ooooooooooooooklahoma is these days...

The entrance feature looks so tacky Shame that the station building is a bit bland though...

Almost........There........

Surprised no one posted this, Phantasialand got a letter off a 9 year old girl wanting to be an engineer, so they invited her along for a look at the morning checks on Taron...

Good news! https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/10094/Parc-Asterix-kondigt-spectaculaire-nieuwe-lanceerachtbaan-aan.html *hopes for a clone*

Assuming it's not changed (was it really 11 years ago I started there?); that is correct.. 16 to host and 18 to operate...

Funny how the person who originally (publically) brought the 'issue' to Towers' attention has an opposing statement from park management though isn't it?

Gonna restore this topic to life as it's the general one... TEA figures are out! http://www.teaconnect.org/images/files/TEA_268_653730_180517.pdf Europe's ones: That's a fair old increase for DLP due to the 25th anniversary... And other important bits:

The guy who does the Walibi artwork is so fab

To be fair, no website is without its dark secret(s)...

Or taking photos on Postman Pat... Or Get Set Go! Or Charlie (when it was open)... Etc. Etc.

Post is useless without links..

It's not helped by the personal point scoring that seems to be going around a LOT of Twitter accounts recently... I'm not a fan of Sanbrooke or TPW but another account did basically grass them up for the image in question (why I'm not sure, I'm 100% certain Towers keeps tabs on plenty of relevant media accounts themselves), for some reason... I've unfollowed the account as a result because it wasn't needed to be done in such a public setting (if Towers REALLY cared about it, they would have contacted Sanbrooke directly to discuss it) and for such blatant point scoring (it's not the first time I've seen them do such nonsense)... It's sad to see the UK scene becoming really petty these days... Regarding cameras on rides, it's gotta be a common sense thing right? A flat out ban on all rides is just an over-reaction (so expect Merlin to do this) and will not be a great sign when someone gets berated for taking pictures of their kid on Sea Dragons...

I've never parked at the park car park, I'd assume most people will park down the other end of the promenade and tram it down than pay that... Or more likely, be at a B&B with parking included...
