Coaster

I'd like to see that changed. As a water ride, you should get wet and they should incorporate some more water effects onto it (I'll say it again, like the one at Drayton Manor!)

Just seen this post. To be honest, the amount of work Thorpe did on The Asylum last year (repainting all the corridors, new walls, new lighting in the final corridor, a new scene at the end and new scenes in the main "show room") says that they weren't planning to remove it IMO. They did a lot more work on it last year than they usually do.

Posted to their Twitter: "New attraction teaser- stomach-churning, g-forces, loops, dives, banks, weightlessness. Who is excited? " Sounds promising!

Typical of Merlin parks! New effects installed, then broken within a month of operation! Makes you wonder why they bother.

I'm not at all happy about this. Chessington really has gone down the pan in my opinion. Runaway Train used to be good because, although the ride hardware isn't that good, the rocks really made it special. Merlin coming in, ripping it down then not replacing it is ruining Chessington in my opinion. They pride themselves in being a themed experience - in 5 years there won't be any theming left if they continue this way! I'm sure they could more than afford to re-build the rockwork - look at how BPB restored the facade on Valhalla. If Rameses Revenge isn't back this year then I don't think I'll bother visiting. Appalling.

The preview dates have now been taken off the website. Not sure why.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach have announced the pricing structure for this year - low season wristbands are as low as £15.99! http://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/archive/2014/01/pay-less-and-enjoy-more-at-blackpool-pleasure-beach-in-2014/ This is a fantastic decision from the Pleasure Beach and I hope it brings in the custom they deserve.

A second train for G-Force would be nice!

That looks absolutely fantastic!

It was called Hungry Pirate before it was called Battered Fish and Chips - although the Hungry Pirate sign is still there (right at the top of the building!)

We are essentially getting two undercover attractions here, which is great as that is what Thorpe was lacking. The only thing I don't like about this investment is messing about with Detonator (and the location in general, splitting Amity Cove in half), aside from that it should be good for families. "Piggy egg bash" though? Really! Of course that opinion will change if it messes up Amity Cove in general!

So your telling me that the dirty horrible water in that pond goes round the rapids?

Why can't we have something like that at our Legoland? I might actually visit once in a while then!

I remember "Switching to Manual Control..." (Who else knows what I'm talking about? )

What a brilliant site! Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together, it's virtually all the avaliable park audio in one place!

^ That is brilliant!

I think that was taken from this video: As the quality is very similar. Not sure though.
