Wicker Man
Even THAT'S not a world's first though... It's such a shame that Towers/Merlin marketing seem unable to market things appropriately... If this didn't have the Wickerman nonsense and some strange Pirate theme we'd not bat an eyelid on it being slow (blah blah testing is always slow blah)...

Get Back To Australasia
Sounds like what Chessie used to have about gorilla stuff in Trail of the Kings then...

What was in the zoo nocturnal area? Need deets pls...

Wicker Man
Dreamland and Blackpool did it before Towers UK wise though...

Alton Towers General Discussion
With this many U-Turns you'd think the Tories would be running the park!

Wicker Man
Equal parts hilarious (cos Merlin/Towers have been told off) and embarrassing (cos a goon actually full on complained)...

Bobbie Jobbie Landie has decided that 1 VR cred is not enough... They're adding MOAR!!1 At least this means that Dream Catcher is getting some actual theming... I recall it being the only sodding thing I queued for my last visit and it was burdenous toss (and the ride wasn't much better)...

Alton Towers General Discussion
YAY THINGS ARE STILL WORSE THAN LAST YEAR BUT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE SHOWED THE ELITE WE ARE NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH! I sense this is only through the sheer will of a handle of Towers employees who know that the situation they're in is unwinnable, and that getting further operational budget from Merlin is akin to drawing blood from a stone... This is not something to be celebrated...

The Walking Dead: The Ride - Speculation and 'Construction'
Is it an extra attraction though given its been SBNO bar fright nights for a few years now?

Get Back To Australasia
I hope Turkey get a clone of DC rivals so we don't have to trapse halfway across the world where my worst nightmares live to ride it...

Wonder if they'll actually run two trains on stuff this year?- The Small Parks Thread

How can a company claim ownership over a dance? Bet they're annoyed at Disney and Efteling...- Alton Towers General Discussion
So only place to eat lunch in FV is the mediocre at best Rollercoaster restaurant? And the closest place to that is..... Pizza pasta in Katanga Canyon... Sad!- Alton Towers General Discussion
A quick check states that Dark Forest, CCL and Hex opened at 10:30 (and Skyride/Rapids at 11 IIRC)... Two major attractions opening 2 hours after the park is possibly the worst decision Merlin have actually made... Nemesis will be open for 4/5 hours on most days...- Alton Towers General Discussion
News for 2018: Wickerman will be on ERT with Spinball and CBeebies Land. Then there's this: *dives for cover* N.B. ERT only available for hotel guests and MAP holders...- The Walking Dead: The Ride - Speculation and 'Construction'

How is Eurosat's retheme an IP?- Bolliger and Mabillard
It's been done, B&M built their version of a Vekoma SFC in one of the Happy Valleys a while back...- The Walking Dead: The Ride - Speculation and 'Construction'
That's where the problem lies, wanting to add something new for the sake of adding something... Like, please stop and think through your additions (same goes for everyone else)...- Nemesis
"restoration" of Hex huh? Duel would be best being fitted and a fresh start unfortunately... Especially as I guess Tomb Blaster would be the level of expectation? - Park Operations
