Wouldn't a Mack Suspended be too Dreamflight like though? But yay Efteling expansion!

The Walking Dead: The Ride - Speculation and 'Construction'
To be fair, they've not announced it yet, so barely anyone knows about it... But yeah, no one will care... Merlin parks cannot seem to get these low investment years at all, though not surprising if any investment MUST have an USP... Which is daft if you've only got a few million to spend... Imagine if the parks could turn around and say "we want THIS flat ride, just because WE NEED TO INCREASE OUR CAPACITY SOMEHOW"

Woodcutters though (though Courtyard was good when they actually had a pirate show).

Bolliger and Mabillard
B&M did all their innovations in the 90s though (if we take Air as starting work in 1998/99), and as a result became pretty much the market leader... Think the problem is short of them building a new track base (like the other companies have in order to innovate), what else can they really do beyond their usual standard? Would it be worth the time and effort for them to jump into a now crowded market for mid-range coasters? China will keep them going for years to come...

I don't understand half the decisions made by Merlin parks right now... A brand new sit down eatery (that's been closed all last year anyway) would be so useful given how popular the area will be, but... For some reason, nah... Poor show...

Unpopular Opinions

Yeah I think last year they added loads of alpine ones for some reason? It's been argued for years I guess, but like I'm sure it doesn't count the ones at Toverland or Schwaben that do run on tracks... It's a bit like the SuperSplashes from Mack, where some are counted and some aren't according to the site... THEN there's Fuga de Atlantide at Gardaland to mess it up further...- Energylandia
Oh I agree, just no one took my baited comment- Creds n' stuff
Alpine coasters aren't creds... RCDB clearly bowed to pressure on that one... Cos if those count, why shouldn't the one at Oakwood or Plopsa Coo?- Creds n' stuff
That's not that rare... According to my Coaster-Count rare points, the old Pinfari at Hayling Island (not Klondike) is my most rare coaster... The Miner Mike in Skegness area is next, with also the old Clown Coaster at Chessie up there... I can't really think of any truly rare things though...- Wicker Man
Nemesis wasn't a world's first (neither was Air technically)... SW has just become a marketing tool for them...- Energylandia
But building an Aqua-Trax makes the one in Korea less special [/mega-lite]- The Small Parks Thread
- Heide Park
In what form will it reopen though is the question... I mean, they could actually take the chance to make it good?- Blackpool Pleasure Beach
You know a park gone done mucked up when one of your most fervent fanboys is angry...- Wicker Man
It won't though, because once again a perfectly acceptable family coaster has got a dark theme that will alienate the majority of it's target audience...- Wicker Man
Shouldn't that be 'led' by GCI? Poor grammar is poor...- Wicker Man
We love being safe, that's why we've stuck fire on a wooden structure after the last few years at our park being terrible because we can't train staff properly...- Wicker Man
That's correct, so this isn't even a world's first... Morons...- Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Not the first time Amanda has destroyed a classic attraction before it could be saved... The 'new development' excuse is literally the quickest thing they could think of to try and quell the pr disaster out of their control... Disappointing really that they couldn't be bothered to give something beyond the standard copy and paste job you see on every single Trip Advisor review...- Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Blackpool on opening day: 1 step forwards, 2 back...- Plopsaland de Panne
If they get rid of Forest of Plop then I'll be very upset with life... Couldn't care less about the Batflyers, they're awful rides in general...- Walibi Holland
RMC Robin Hood please (mainly because I can't really think of anything else the park could do with)...- The Future of Rumba Rapids!
How would it be a pain? Got an offload and onload position anyway, they just actually have to do something now...- Wicker Man
Makes me think that someone at Towers' marketing loves Bray Wyatt... Face/Off wooden coaster? Nah, that would be a stupid idea; and I can't imagine a backwards wooden coaster being particularly fun... - Creds n' stuff
