Presented without comment (Daily Mirror).

He was, and changed the first drop profile because it was terrible...

I'll probably only be riding Wickerman and Nemmie when visiting, so at least I'll be riding stuff that looks nice...

You can take any bit of data, and skew it towards what you actually want... Merlin use carefully selective questions and answers in order to get what they really want... It's just so they can say "Well people wanted this" with something tangible... I'm sure some companies don't like working for others, it's like with any industry that...

I did that for about 3 years straight (Pony Express, Blue Fire & Sky Rocket), always frustrating when it those parks miles away as well...

Would there be any outcry from enthusiasts if Rameses was removed? I'd wager that any outcry would be from those who are younger than the ride itself...

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)...

There's only one solution:

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...

Only Palace could have the worst ever start to a season then break their unbeaten run in the PL... That bottom half is so tight though...

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

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

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

I don't think anyone has proclaimed it as the second coming of Hovis... But if it doesn't invert (as per the video) then it'll be better than those torture devices...

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)...

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...

Is it an extra attraction though given its been SBNO bar fright nights for a few years now?

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?

Tivoli Gardens spited their Breakdance (it WAS 29 years old would you believe!) and replacing it with another VOM inducing ride (taking their total to about 4 now) in a Mondial Shake: I do adore Tivoli's motif, such style, very snazzy...

How can a company claim ownership over a dance? Bet they're annoyed at Disney and Efteling...

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!

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...
