Bet that Walking Dead maze will be like the one currently set up at Movie Park Germany... Least Josh won't have to bother with it again -
The 2nd trailer for Thor launched and it's going to be an amazing film, I can just tell (although even the worst Marvel film is better than anything the DC universe involves [have not seen Wonder Woman])... The leaked footage/trailer for Infinity War is Spiderman Homecoming was really good fun too, like, just sheer good old fashioned enjoyment... Highly recommended...

3 rare points on Coaster-Count

I'm sure when I got the cred here I didn't have to pay for parking at all... Maybe they've implemented such a thing to make easy money over desperate goons...
-
Looks awful, therefore it will make all the monies... Guess we're just lucky we've not reached Jason X levels of stupidity yet...

8 person trains?

You see that stuff ALL the time, especially when reading Trip Advisor... It's more than likely a combination of both the park AND person in question, be it through bad planning, breakdowns or general faffage... I do love people who complain about it being busy in summer as if it's THE BIGGEST SCANDAL EVER!

If sheds are good enough for Efteling

You can tell that Disneyland was designed for a much lower figure of guests... Sure, it basically created theme parks as we know them today, but the narrow pathways are utter death in places...

Fixed that for you...

Sounds worse than the time they were getting everyone involved in 'guest interaction' and refused to send my car because after an hour of queue I did NOT want to 'flap my arms like a dragon'... Think it's best I don't visit Chessie anytime soon, my head might just explode out of sheer anger...
Fluch is in my top 10 for the overall experience aspect, the level of theming and atmosphere it gives off is why it's in the top 10... The singing knight and the exit slide/maze also help The layout itself isn't great, but the theatre involved in the ride makes me forgive it (and it's been a while since I rode it last now so it's probably aged HORRIBLY)...
Polar X-Plorer is a weird one, because the coaster section is really good, but the drop onwards is awful... Thirteen's drop system is far superior in my book... Ghost is fab too <3 Should've done the SCAD Tower, certainly one of the most exhilarating things I've ever done...
None of our parks deserve two hotels apart from Towers, the ridiculous focus on resort stuff because of the income is arguably hurting the actual park investments... I'm still annoyed Chessie removed half the bird gardens for their stupid second hotel...
Presumably Baron is unreliable because of the pre-lift stuff and that it's not got the curve of faff (different systems)... Though this is the park that had Flying Dutchman open AN ENTIRE YEAR late, but that's what you get when dealing with Kumbak... I'd imagine the Symbolica issues will get ironed out eventually like any new thing, least it's just a pre show needing fixing not the entire ride
But then the elder child of the family is bored... None of the parks in the London area provide for everyone, but only one is semi-trying to do something about it (presumably because it's the only one with any form of investment budget)...
Mark is back
People have said Thorpe need to offer more things to kids... It's just the method behind it... Josh stating the words 'short-term' is exactly the thing, although this is more a problem with Merlin as a whole rather than directly Thorpe themselves... We want the parks to succeed, but we don't want them just grabbing second hand rides from a Sea-Life, plonking them down and calling it a day...
That area of Mystic East was rubbish ever since Samurai went (and even then most of that path was just Samurai queueline)...
Damn, if only I wasn't busy over the next week...
