  1. Doesn't help that majority of the guests are MAP holders. One bit of income for the entire season. And most of us are tight when we get to the park(s) or rarely go much because the experiences aren't great.
  2. More than a week wasn't it? Less than 55 if you don't count Alpine coasters. And he didn't ride all of them either. Just feels like a very typical influencer "challenge" that they get some attention for and more importantly boost their own income. Expect Sanbrooke to better this within a year. Especially as he can drag his child into the Gullivers parks.

  4. Could hit 1k pph if it had 5 trains on. Which I've no idea when last happened.

    Just replace Rumba with a water ride the little grots can be pinned down into so they can't get out. As always, the UK should get a Chiapas-esque ride.

    Its just mediocre. Not helped by a number of areas of the park just sat there unused.

    Not my fault that place is crap and Desert Race not much better.

    Can only have one of Stealth or Rita running at any one time.
  10. I'm assuming that the 5pm closes in October will be changed. Otherwise that's a real cut down. Strange decisions from the higher ups.
  11. Its cool to have an Easter Egg or two within a new or reimagined attraction (say for example, Piraten in Batavia having a survivor boat from the fire and a Roland Mack animatronic), but when the majority of the attraction becomes "DO YOU GET IT?" it misses the point somewhat as you feel like they're trying too hard to bash you over the head with references. The other issue is that the park has been so run down that a number of rides have needed a full refurbishment. Sub Terra came back out of necessity more than anything, Duel was in a sorry state since it opened, Nemesis was also refurbished out of necessity or be closed. Don't really think it's anything to do with nostalgia. Just those are the rides they could either redo over a closed season or needed to be done for reasons.

  14. Private land so can do what they want within reason. Including charging for parking. There's problem some different laws/rulings written up for the various situations of car parking.

    School trip season and kids don't know any better.

    This new Mack reliability. Voltron keep closing on and off (and I got a rollback).
  17. The double up into the MCBR is just perfection. Was consistently busiest ride when it wasn't breaking down (40 mins average queues) . Though I did get a rollback on the turntable launch section on my final ride so can't complain. Certainly the intensity and relentless nature of it can be its downfall for many as well, but still had people waiting for it all day long. RAP system at Europa wouldn't last 5 minutes at a Merlin park. Just needed an Access Card then up the relevant queue with the only requirement being you wait that ride's queue time before riding that ride again. So you can literally ride Wodan & Blue Fire for example one after the other. Least a good number of the attractions are step-free, with Widan and Euro-Mir being the main offenders. Such a good park, even if the food is still a bit meh. Once they've binned Euro-Mir there won't really be any really weak links in the line-up. Though didnt do Bobsleigh sooooo.

  19. Voltron is really REALLY good. Relentless in pacing and doesn't let up aside from the turntable and final brakes. A good variety of elements as well keeps things interesting and the airtime I don't think gets mentioned much. And if people think it's rough then they clearly don't know what a rough ride is. Blue Fire walked so Voltron could run. Straight into my top 3.
