That B&M pricetag... Also Symbolica only cost around £31m? Only slightly more than DBGT? No further comment is required... -
*voms* If it had been purple and a complimentary colour, then sure... But the lime supports just make it an assault on the senses (like Skegness in general really)...

It's funny because their opinion is wrong...

Well, they didn't even give the goons a chance to translate them by doing it themselves....

Saw someone on Twitter ask/suggest something similar for Villa Volta... Would not be surprised if we see something similar (though I'm surprised disabled visitors have a separate thing for Villa, considering Hex has full access with a quick disembark for the ride)...

Efteling are joining the VR fad....... But this time, it's for good reason! https://www.efteling.com/nl/pers/efteling-komt-met-een-virtuele-beleving-van-droomvlucht/ It's always been a shame that one of their biggest attractions could not allow those with severe disabilities on it, so for this to come in I'm all for it... Good job Efteling...

Go to Flamingoland and I might come just to laugh at you all having to ride Hero...
I've won it 5 times so I get to keep the trophy tbh...
Pfft, 'experts'
Can someone with a Times subscription copy & paste please?
Has the water vortex even been on this decade? Wonder what you could do with some modern technology additions to it... Bit of projection mapping and some modernised updates to the SFX systems to make them more reliable and generally better would do wonders to it... Valhalla has always been a strange fit for Blackpool, exacerbated by the ridiculous levels of wetness that you'd actually be dryer after mincing in the Irish Sea in comparison...
You can have all the creative thought in the world, but it's always limited by budget... Blackpool just don't have the budget to operate a ride of Valhalla's scale... Even when it opened it struggled a lot... Geoffrey really did bite off more than he could chew with it...
Guess difference is that at Blackpool you pay per ride anyway (well, if you don't buy a wristband)? So Merlin couldn't really implement something like this (unless they did an ERT thing, but tbh they should just bring back Premiere Screaming events for MAP holders)... Like yeah, it's a weird thing, since surely it's being included on the wristband? Guess you're mostly paying for the certificate (which a big majority of goons will lap up)...
It won't be open until Fright Nights anyway, by which point no-one will care...
Looks like EVERYONE got an award from them... Least Symbolica is on there, though the two attractions seem worlds apart...
What with S&S revealing a new evolution of the Steeplechase, and Nick Thompson being involved in it, how long until we get a completely refurbished attraction? Only if it's the Velociraptor cars though
This is also what stops Black Mamba from being better than Nemesis, and why the sometimes bemoaning of Nemmie not being as long as other inverts proves that I'd rather finish on a high than after being bored senseless by CORNERS... Helix > Blue Fire > Taron
There's a really, REALLY obvious joke there... I'm sure they released a video of it opening, either I imagined that or got it confused with another park... Well if this ain't opening next year Poland will drop off the card...
I thought that wate coaster had opened... Intamin! *shakes fist*
Well it's closer, and has a few more Euro-centric amenities than China... Don't think you'd need to faff with visas either... Plus tbh Istanbul looks like a cultural bonanza, and Ankara (with the new park of 16/17 creds) isn't too far off to do both (Antalya would be a different matter methinks, but is more a beach holiday anyway by looks of things)... China also has the issue of trying to figure out where to go region wise... It's a bloody nightmare trying to figure it out...
Sub Terra didn't close due to budget cuts, mainly some H&S issues especially post Smiler...
Djurs is just as easy to get to as Le Pal (fly and drive)... It's all cost though, can't imagine Helix or Icon costing less than Blue Fire Dinosaur edition. And that's purely out of that extra design stage required, and hence more unique pieces needing to be manufactured/drawn up/etc. There's room for clones, especially when smaller parks are building them to get on the ladder...
