The push for digital only ORPs. That said they're still about and have 2 physical ones that I've purchased since 2023.
 
Can I change it to things you now see all the time? Because vloggers. And (especially at Towers) cosplayers are just everywhere. Saw someone last weekend in full Phalanx get up complete with name badge and box with fake egg of Nemesis creature in it. It’s weird to me.

Sounds like the discourse over Nemmie Rebs atm. Saturday didn’t feel much in the way of roughness at all. Way people go on about it makes it sound like riding an old school Vekoma.

I get the reference however..
 
The only thing worse than people moaning about Christmas stuff in shops in August is forums talking about halloween.

The quiet years were always the years that visits were made because of the groups. The rides were always second.
 
Plus the stagnation of the UK in comparison to mainland Europe on top of often cheap access to those parks makes them far more exciting than heading to a Merlin park with a hope of a good visit rather than an expectation.

It'll look very weird though given you'll need to walk through a load of dead empty space to get to Frozen Land next year and beyond even Lion King being added.
 
Making the best of the initial bad designs with the new Studio 1 mind.

It ALWAYS goes silent when there's a long term closure. 
 
See Hyperia last year. 
 
It is not within the best interests of the park(s) to announce publicly any technical issues with the rides. 
 
Aren't Rita & Stealth trains the same?
 
Just likely that the hydraulic launched coasters have a bit of a shorter lifespan. Presumably down to the launch system itself being incredibly high energy for short bursts of time so wear and tear is bound to happen. Fairly telling with there being only 10 Intamin ones operating with the last brand new one built in 2010. 

Depends. Given most will work in and around Midlands, you'd have to move closer to Bedford, and would the wages be better or as good as anywhere you could get nearby?
 
Universal have their own creative team. They don't need the minds behind Hyperia.

The sources in that BBC article just sound like people who they probably found lurking around the fence trying to get first glimpses.
 
Feel sorry for the security if/when construction gets started. Having to deal with certain influencers appearing almost daily.

Always assume sarcasm.
 
 
Like any project anything could happen to it. But once Universal had to reveal their hand it had far more chance than London Resort ever did.
 
Everything crossed.

You know things are bad when the joke account is being serious.

Not for a very long time.

See they're doing lift hill walks for Hyperia. 
 
For £120. And you need to have done a track walk on Colossus, Oblivion or Swarm within 3 years.
 
Seems a bit off to enforce that.

The quotes were from Abdab of Terror Tomb fame.
 
It made as much sense as most of the posts. But doesn't look like Thorpe are going for the speciality car for Hyperia this season. Otherwise they'd have gone on about it by now.

I'd imagine the incidents on Bounce & Treetops also didn't help. Towers just about clung onto its reputation after Smiler, Oakwood having more incidents after Hydro was never going to help.

Rest in Pieces.

I'd be a bit peeved about Sea-Life, but I live within decent driving of 2 and they're good attractions for little one currently.
 
Plus planning on London based nonsense later this year so always good to have some additional freebies.
