  1. The NCP car park across road as well (Sandcastle one) is surely cheaper too?
  2. MIGHT open next week (10th).
  3. 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...
  4. How the tables have turned......
  5. Benin replied to yeah's topic in The Real World
    Reading are a bit crap aren't they?
  6. Very unfortunate, would hate to be the Media team today...
  7. 50p won't even be enough for a Watt come then...
  8. Benin replied to Lewie900's topic in General Discussion
    Thorpe don't need any more help having their rides breaking down...
  9. 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...
  10. 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...
  11. 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
  12. 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...
  13. 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
  14. #betterthannothing
  15. Oh my!
  16. 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?)
  17. 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...
  18. It's that EU funding to get it off the ground (and presumably some aspirational owners) that have helped...
  19. 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...
  20. Don't book trips until you know opening dates then... I'm still waiting on bloody Sweden!
  21. THERE'S A PERFECTLY GOOD PM FUNCTION ON HERE GUYS!
  22. Benin replied to JoshC.'s topic in UK Attractions
    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.
  23. Benin replied to yeah's topic in The Real World
    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!
  24. There's a distinct amount of block sections and, well, SPEED on the Mouse cred... Hopefully someone will do it actual justice...
  25. 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...
