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.

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.

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.

Quick example of one of my lunches at Efteling (from the cafeteria by Vogel Rok) over my Christmas visit. Can't recall the price unfortunately but it's a definite stark difference in quality to what's on offer at Towers in particular. Woodcutters would never.
 
The entry cost is so dependent on BOGOFs, MAPs and booking online finding value in it, however if you charge north of £50 for a standard day ticket people expect that quality regardless. Fortunately as my visits to Towers mainly center around CBeebies these days I've avoided much of the poor availability overall, but it's incredibly telling on the faces of other visitors that it's leaving sour tastes in the mouths. Especially when on a number of times both X-Sector and Dark Forest end up with nothing to actually do.
 
The years of poor investment are coming back to roost. On top of people tightening purse strings because we're still in a cost of living crisis that seems to only be on the way of getting worse.

Mornington Crescent.
 
 
I win.

Could've ended the post there.
 
It feels very pointless currently. 

Visited yesterday (apparently no one else has since Creek?), wasn't a particularly great day unfortunately as RtH was closed (min 6 degrees needed to run, and was testing all day due to an issue with that train), the park was busy as hell (special shout to Circus Bumba being hell on earth), and understaffed with a number of eateries closed it was like being at a Merlin park.
 
The stringent ride op didn't help as wouldn't let us (RAP user and carer) ride on the same train in different rows with the RAP, suggesting the lil one could ride with a complete stranger. Even more frustrating since we'd literally just ridden the Roller Skater moments before with no problem. Common sense required sometimes.
 
Just a stark contrast from 3 days at Efteling really.
 
Maybe next time.

Danse Macabre is so good. Faffy as all hell even with LEGIONS of staff and possibly could do with an indicator of the internal wait beyond the batching point.
 
However, the ride system is wonderful. And the experience incredibly theatrical, which shows a lot of reverence to the original Spookslot whilst making something that is generally a better attraction (if going against the everyone can ride it thing that Efteling tends to have within reason). If it wasn't for the fact it has the longest queue on park (consistent 45 mins yesterday, and our added parent swap faffage as a result) I'd be riding it a lot more.
 
 
Park looking gorgeous as ever for Christmas. And it's hilarious to me that my now 2 year old can pretty much do every ride there apart from creds and Macabre. Probably won't try the Rapids though since raining all day yesterday.

Just surprised they haven't had any days of fully booked RAP yet.

Old stuff shifted out the shed to flog to goons with too much money.
 
What you buying @JoshC.?

Dungeons being an upcharge was always going to put it at a disadvantage. Especially given the general cost to visit the parks these days. However to essentially have it mothballed into a Scarefest only building (most likely result) is a bit meh. Always enjoyed a ride on Charlie, even if it was a bit crap.
 
If things were being replaced quickly then it wouldn't be a problem. Project Horizon has gone quiet so that corner of the park will continue to be a bit of a dead spot, and the lack of anything for kids too old for CBeebies but not at the height/level for Thirteen and others is just daft. Even if a 0.9m kid (I.e. my 2 year old) could go on Hex and Alty Mans, doesn't mean they are suitable attractions for the age content/theme wise. The RMT queues will continue to be insane.
 
With us still being in the CBeebies age range we're still in a decent position to visit. But in a few years? Would be a different story.
