Paultons Park
Wouldn't be too surprised if the council get a nice new agreement in place after the park's success since then though...

Liseberg
I'd assume everything is open during their standard season unless otherwise stated... Ride all the creds, the major flats (I.e. Mechanika, Aero Spin, etc.), the log flume and rapids and Gasten Hotel (I think) are the things to ride...

Fright Nights 2016
Let's be honest, the poster is rather amateurish, the chainsaw guy especially so... Kinda does look like "My First Photoshop"

Given that I've seen enthusiasts (well known ones at that) arguing with ride ops about being the first riders back when MRAWS was a thing, Ka's stuff doesn't surprise me in the slightest...

How would the Gruffalo fit the lift simulators at the end though? Given the cost of them, I would imagine any changes made to Charlie (whatever they are) would incorporate those lifts, unless they're truly buggered (which would be of no surprise)... Thing is we don't even know if anything will happen to Charlie, and if it were being rebranded we'd know about it now rather than it kept as a secret, as we know Merlin are awful at those...

Efteling
Efteling also did themed hi-vis for Baron, cos they do those sorta unnecessary things... Hopefully they'll do another Youtube series too of the construction...

IMAScore's stuff is very basic (as in the track tends to follow a simple set of chords), but it's also catchy and pretty damn memorable... Stuff like Krake and Smiler are like this... Then you have stuff like Helix, Chiapas, Magic Valley at Toverland and Klugheim, which are a great combination of that same technique but those work immensely well in the context of the rides and areas themselves... They're probably slightly better in terms of producing a complete package of music for an entire area rather than a single track, as the difference between them is much more noticeable in those senses... It's like Disney soundtracks for certain rides in a way...

Poor naive goon, what will you be like when you visit real parks with real rides?

BUMP Surprised no one else has updated this, but recently rumours have pointed to a certain massive travelling coaster to be turning up this year... Olympia Looping! Typical that I've gone to Vienna for that sole purpose earlier in the year, but it actually was on RCDB so counted then rather than being back to basics travelling... It's not been 100% confirmed, but maybe this is the year?

To be fair, when Efteling spend €2million refurbishing a restaurant, I think people are allowed to go a bit ott for them... What they doing to Python? Actually adding theming?

Oh CoasterKingdom Shame he stopped, such great reviews...

That last line is literally what happened with the last 'refurb'...

Other parks don't tend to market repaints as additions though that's the issue, they just do them...

Is the correct answer, its standard fayre and nothing more...

They could've easily built a coaster that suffered the same amount of downtime...

Probably best to try redownloading the set and ensuring that it's been unzipped correctly from the off...

No, Charlie is closed cos the contract is finished, and probably one of the lifts being buggered...

Chessington Park Operations
2008/09 (I.e. Merlin years) were pretty decent, 2010 was as well... As soon as 3 trains went off Vampire it was downhill...

Colossus
Facts and knowledge don't sell papers/get hits though...
-
Vampire
Assuming they actually still allow staff to, if the train stalls at lift 2 or the final brakes it just needs a push to get going again... Rather easy to do, or at least was 7 odd years ago...
