Blackpool Pleasure Beach
The NCP car park across road as well (Sandcastle one) is surely cheaper too?

Liseberg
MIGHT open next week (10th).

Merlin Entertainments
To be fair, the weather being so damn hot probably puts a few people off going as much as it pouring with rain, as the parks aren't suited for extreme climates (like the rest of the country)... £43 million gets you 1.5-2 DBGTs... Across all the attractions...

Very unfortunate, would hate to be the Media team today...

50p won't even be enough for a Watt come then...

Thorpe don't need any more help having their rides breaking down...

The Small Parks Thread
Bobbejaanland's new cred for next year has a layout and it's... Weird... So it has the triple launch thing at the start, which is fair enough, but then it ends with a spike as well? Can see it more obviously in the 3d model: Kinda intrigued, certainly fits the theme of mediocre randomness Bobbie Jobbie is perfect at...

Liseberg
No idea on best time, park hours are always pretty decent on weekends (11-11 on September, 3-11 Fridays) regardless of time, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people visit just to enjoy atmosphere... Best suggestion is hit it up when the hotels and flights are cheap...

Kennywood
It must be a reference to the Steelers (like part of the stadium or something, my NFL knowledge is non-existant because it's crap), so can understand the name... It's like Blackpool getting an area themed to the football club with a coaster called the Tangerine Dream or something... It looks ok until you realise S&S are building it, it'll probably be god-awful as a result... Bless the Americans getting excited about 9 inversions though, it's cute

Alton Towers General Discussion
It's mental that a company that LOVES parks having NEW things is so obsessed about needing an USP that basic flats don't get built... I imagine a lot of the park people end up screaming into cushions after meetings with Poole...

Liseberg
Presumably worth it if you don't mind sharing with some Swedes, there's a PLENTIFUL amount of hostels in Gothenburg all within easy access of the park (by bus or tram)... Gothenburg is pretty fab as well, the Universeum next door to Liseberg is pretty much a combo of Science, Natural History and Zoo... Plenty of parks and bars and what-not too... The Swedes

2018 General Discussion
But that's when the point of the system works! (Plus of course, most of the Spanish populace just jump the queue without paying for it, so perhaps in the end Fastrack at PA is pointless and a waste of money?)

2018 General Discussion
I love it when people suggest that rides deliberately act slow so Fastrack sales go up... Like, Rides would probably love it if Fastrack went away, because it's just as big a pain in the arse for them as it is for guests...

It's that EU funding to get it off the ground (and presumably some aspirational owners) that have helped...

Europa Park
Stick her on a chair, put a blindfold on (oh-er), stick the music on Spotify and then boom, original EuroSat experience! Might need a strobe light too actually come to think of it...

Don't book trips until you know opening dates then... I'm still waiting on bloody Sweden!

Scarefest
Terror of the Towers is OUT, a new 'mysterious' and 'recently unearthed by routine excavations'* maze will replace it... https://www.altontowers.com/activities/events/scarefest/thrilling-frights/ *Will take bets on these phrases being included in the announcement blurb.

Planet Coaster
There's a distinct amount of block sections and, well, SPEED on the Mouse cred... Hopefully someone will do it actual justice...

Phantasialand
Let's hope that when it does eventually open they use the Winjas side entrance to hold people before opening, otherwise Main Street DE is going to be utter hell for everyone...
