If Klugheim opens before this Thorpe should be embarrassed by the management of this project...

Only if it's one of them cult suicide ones since Boris will be the next PM...

"Once a plan is in place" Such a statement pretty much shows why the market exploded... There is no plan, there never was a plan beyond leaving the EU... So now we have 2 years and 3 months of uncertainty for apparent freedom from, well I'm not actually sure what freedom or who had our country in the first place... Should Scotland hold a second referendum they will leave... They stayed due to the EU membership, why would they keep within the turmoil when they want to remain? Northern Ireland has a similar situation, only made worse due to the border with the Republic... They could well unify due to the massive complications they will encounter from bring out and the majority of areas also wanting in... Cornwall council is my favourite thing out of this, as they've asked the government to confirm that any EU funding they will lose (circa £60m over 10 years) is kept... Where's that money going to come from? What other areas of the country have had their voters forget how much the EU supports certain aspects of the UK? It'll get messy, very messy before things stabilise...

"A great day for the UK!" they cried, independence bank holiday pencilled into the 2017 calendars... Yet Scotland hold a referendum and leave, whilst both parts Ireland, due to the border issues unify once more... Great Britain, led into the next world by Boris Johnson, with a privatised NHS system and further education cuts, is left with Wales and more social issues as the economy spirals down due to the uncertainty... That is our future... That is what people voted for...

I assume both, since BatB is for the Magic Kingdom park... Tokyo is the kinda place that would just build both for the lulz...

Depends if security have access to the music control box (probably not, plus if they turned it off wrong then could get in further trouble)...

Assuming this has a proper control box these days and is all automated, who left the key in the ignition?

Just a thought, if a quick cash grab refurb is of this quality, imagine how good DisneySea's purpose built attraction will be...

Wouldn't be a new Merlin ride unless SOMETHING thematic from the plans got scrapped...

I think the projected face actually makes all the human animatronics look a bit iffy... The Olaf one by comparison looks amazing... 300 minutes though... In THAT queue? *dies*

No different to the politicians tbh...

There are some strange people who like both Bakken AND Baco! I'd like to put forward El Condor at Walibi Holland on the list... By far the worst SLC I've ridden...

Hydra is FABBBBBBB <3 I look forward to their next new cred, Asterix is really going on the right track with the new shows as well...

Symbolic update: The ride area looks quite small to me, even though they'll still end up squeezing in loads...

Rumours were that the original plan for SW8 was a launched RMC in the Air car park, the rest as we know, is history... I'd see Thorpe getting one, but that's it... Drayton or Mingoland are the only other likely candidates to even consider one...

Best solution would be a dedicated team just for clean up, nobody wants to clean the Bubbleworks stairs or dust the numerous cobwebs on Vampire every single day as a ride staff member... Staff empty bins, that is it... There is no real attempt at doing anything beyond that...

It entirely depends on the real feedback they got from guests... Since NDAs were in place, opinions of those that might appear online cannot be trusted or believed as 'true'...

They'd never get one of those, given Zamperla don't make wooden coasters...

There's enough salt in here to fill a restaurant supply for a month... How else can they test the ride? I bet if they did do it out of hours there'd be the same people moaning that the park is being secretive and ignoring the paying public (even though they're trialing it with the paying public, just those at the hotel)... Damned of they do, damned if they don't...

It opening will of course be dependent on the response from hotel guests... Woe betide being on here if it's negative and causes further delays...

You can't moan about something being too low capacity and then call for Robo-Arms...

It would be horrid, bear in mind how Vampire swings even now when approaching a turn... It judders along now and even the older version with the heavier trains would've been dreadful... It'd be down to the constant motion and moments acting on not just the train, but the swinging components as well... The train won't stop swinging in the inline due to how the Arrow suspendeds work (since they still swing when they hit brake runs due to momentum)... You have two separate sections of movement going on and then when you add in the inverted element and I really cannot see a way you could make it an enjoyable experience... Some rides weren't meant to include inversions...

By looks of things it was because it "showed the park in a bad light"... Imagine if Towers did that this year... Or if Thorpe took exception to pics of Loggers... Didn't realise Mark, wonder what TPR would make of that, since half of their opinions if a park is based on how much ERT they get...
