Yeah they did, but unsurprisingly no one is particularly excited by this...

Still miles behind the massive poster I have of Flug von Damenon, but it's a start... How much they flogging them for?

Rates is just a posh term for price list, nothing to concern over...

Surely Texas Chainsaw Massacre and any form of cannibalistic group of people who flay their victims?

Taron bars are the only good thing coming out of this project...

It's not a great park in all honesty, very peculiar in the layout and the rides are bang average at best... It does have a fab little dark ride akin to Bubbleworks with fire effects aplenty though... This new ride should be better than Sky Scream through assumption alone, but who knows...

Unfortunately Josh I'm still basic in terms of rides in the East... One day though...

Probably still better than Mission 2 though... I'm, unsure on it, least it actually fits the theme unlike some other rebrand exercises... Bring us Ghost Galaxy!

Sounds like it'll be part of the storyline for.... Some reason... Go exploring, do a seance, wake all the dead, the usual stuff because people never learn in horror stories... Someone at Thorpe clearly loved the Ouija film, which has a sequel/prequel out soon...

I doubt anyone on here bothered because no one with disposable income cared about the closure... In terms of people selling park merch online, it never tends to get too over the actual price at retail (apart from maps, I've seen people pay £10 for a Thorpe map!), and Merlin have a history of taking down a few sales on eBay (though granted that is stuff not available to the public, like the Nemesis audio that was sold off and then had to be returned)... It's an interesting conundrum really, profiteering off a 'charity' auction...

Wonder if Merlin bothered to have a T&Cs to stop people making their own money off their unwanted crap...

Towers? Gotta make sure Ripsaw is still closed after all...

Do you not learn that you get held to such comments Jamie? Or are you gonna actually go through with that claim?

Or Hex, if it were open of course...

People are really thinking some red syrup is 'gory'... Y'all tripping...

I remember the reaction to it placing 6th in the Mitch Hawker poll and how incredulous the Americans were, calling it stupid that a ride that barely any of them had ridden could be rated so highly... Bunch of self centred tools...

What probably hasn't helped the park was the dreadful state DIC left it in... It's amazing how optimistic people were after Wild Asia opened... And now look...

Is it an UK thing though? Hex, Duel and Laser Raiders all have indoor queues that are used on a regular basis (as in the outdoor extensions of Hex and Duel are never used)... Come to think of things there aren't that many rides that do have completely indoor queues...

From what the general opinion of Galatica is that doesn't sound particularly difficult to do though... VR is only as good as the content on display though, much like any media... You can have all the pixels or 1:1 motion in the world but if the animation is crap then it's all for nothing...

It's a weird one, the indoor queue did get dreadfully hot over times, and the lifts were probably more burdenous in modern times... Like most of the original design, it was a daft idea that never really worked as a concept...

The only thing they do wrong is their no adults allowed rule making it hard to get the creds (and even that is understandable)... As a kid park, they're probably quite good and no doubt better kept than Chessie is currently...

Shame that they're a parody of themselves really, otherwise it would be seen as a positive... It's no surprise that Valhalla ended up back on their radar after TPR went there...

Taxi from airport to Bruhl/park is expensive, only do that if you're arriving late... There is a dedicated bus that costs a massive €3 return directly outside Bruhl station on the right side...

There's potential, there always is with brand new parks, and they already have a good massive icon coaster too... These next big additions will hopefully get them on the next level...
