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...

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...

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

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...

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

Oh my!

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?)

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...

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!

THERE'S A PERFECTLY GOOD PM FUNCTION ON HERE GUYS!

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.

Poor second half led to the downfall there, plus a few players not turning up... Shame, as it was fun whilst it lasted, and the likes of Trippier really shone throughout... Normal football shall resume from today at least!

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

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...

Saturday.

Tbh if I had money I'd be there this weekend no question...

Looks like they merged it together, clearly I did not complain hard enough... Future tip for anyone going to Gardaland, don't go on potentially heaving days...

Between 80-100 euros on top of the MAP price (which was/is cheaper than the UK one anyway)...

Least they didn't do a Gardaland and have it actually affordable for everyone, just the idiots with more money than sense... When did MAP holders stop realising that missing out on a ride isn't the end because you can revisit?

Don't think the cheap annual passes are a sign of complete positivity, especially given the general lack of spend by most MAP holders on here (and WE'RE the target market for tat!)... There's a lot more beneath the surface that needs addressing before any Merlin park can be considered having a 'golden success'... A sensible long term plan would be a start...

Enthusiasts STILL asking the park about broken/dead rides
