Wicker Man
£25 is too expensive for me, but it's a neat idea... For comparison, Wodan blocks are €12.50...

Energylandia
16 coasters would make the park the second highest in Europe behind Ankapark (yes, Turkey is arguable whether or not it's in Europe), which is lol-worthy... Another reason why Brexit is stupid

Merlin Entertainments
They'd have to tell the staff who work there about the deals though (any worldwide discount from UK MAP holders seems to be an unknown concept from staff, I got in for free in Tussauds in New York when it should have been half price)... But if you were going over there, wouldn't you still buy the FlexTicket anyway? Assuming they'd keep Sea World on it (they'd be stupid to take it off) of course...

Universal Studios Florida
I struggle to think of a park (or company) who could afford for: - Deconstruction - Packing - Shipping - Further Delivery - Reconstruction Of (according to RCDB) 6'400ft worth of track and support structure... Sad yes, but unsurprising that no one could take them up...

Merlin Entertainments
The company needs another park with a broken reputation like a hole in Nick Varney's head... Not the best idea they've had, though I'm sure Sea World would be a decent money maker if you managed to get the public back onside...

380 Miles For 3 Creds
Not got the Canvey Island one actually (it's certainly now an arse to get to from the wilds of the North, though recently checked and was told it had closed, strange)... I adore the Mine Train story, so amazing <3 Wouldn't count though cos you need to complete a full circuit to get the credddd... Really need to get back on the run, I've been falling short last two years...

Phantasialand
I did think it opening next year was optimistic, even for Phantasialand...

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland
Annual bump, seems like there's rumours abound that not only will Olympia Looping return (I guess they received ALL THE MONEY from UK enthusiasts) but it will be joined by another......

Ohhhhhhhh...

Fright Nights 2017
Standard night at Thorpe Fright Nights that surely?
-
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
It'll be even better once people start realising that stats aren't the be all or end all... Rides focusing on speed are all one trick ponies that don't really do anything beyond that initial rush, even Dragster is guilty of that issue (when it's not trying to destroy itself)... Though it did surprise me that Taron apparently hits 72mph, it doesn't really feel like that at all...

Walibi Belgium
Who'd have thought a few years ago that those would be the options and that Intamin would be the worst choice?

Walibi Belgium
I was intrigued about the dark ride until I saw the theme of it, so at odds with the whole themed areas concept they're pushing forwards... Hope it doesn't spell the end of Tut because it is one of the best examples of an interactive dark ride in the world... Mega Coaster layout looks good, did they confirm it as a Mack?

Toverland
Drachen Fire did the mid drop inversion thing, doubt it's coincidental that it's scrap nowadays...
-
Toverland
A Wing-Rider with an atmospheric looking station? That's a novelty I really don't like the way the first drop looks in the concept art, hopefully it looks better in real life.... But I'm not hopeful...

Fright Nights 2017
To be fair, you can go any day of the week to find some arrogant goons

Paultons are doing a Drayton! https://paultonspark.co.uk/blog/2017/09/12206/peppa-pig-world-set-to-get-even-bigger-and-better

Efteling
I can forsee issues of people being stuck in the middle of the Fairytale Forest of Forever and suddenly realising they need to go on Python, but that's not exactly the park's fault...
-
Efteling
Maybe it'll be the "first park to adequately introduce such a system"? Guess since most British parks don't really have much focus on other aspects (bar Chessie with the zoo) then it's logical to go on about the rides for a fluff piece...

Fright Nights 2017
Everyone goes home because Rumba is closed.

Top 10's
I'm interested to see how Khan runs again, since last time it was absolutely fantastic, yet people who have visited since have been rather negative over it... Be a downright shame if age has caught up to it...

Alton Towers General Discussion
Do the buses not run from there anymore? Could always train it to Uttoxeter and get a taxi from there. Will be cheaper I reckon...

Europa Park
Waterpark name announcement: There's some more concept art and a pic of the sample hotel room (but I can't get to Twitter at work) milling around, it looks to the quality of Bell Rock though, and will also be a 4 Star Superior hotel...
