DISNEY is just amazing Love most of the rides and everything here is just brill. Dreams is outstanding and it wipes the floor and back with everything in the uk even towers. When the uk parks are closing, DISNEY still has a good 4 hours of life left and there's even done nightlife too. Top 5 so far are: 1 tower of terror 2/ Thunder Mountain 3/ Pirates 4/ Ratatouiee 5/ Rock n roller coaster

Double post, but part two is now here too, enjoy!

Ok, it's been a busy five days, but here's part one the [unofficial] meet video featuring one train operations, twirling tea cups and cheesy dribbles of fun!!!! Part 2 shall arrive eventually

This needs to happen, I love wooden coasters, they are just so much fun and would be great if the UK receives another one after nearly 20 years. With food loop and this type of coaster potentially happening, I'm hoping towers will start going up hill again.

Nemy is still the better of the two rides though [plus it's 9 years older].

To be honest, I will keep any judgment of excitement or development until I see from an official source [or the park itself]. I really want the ride to get a big refurbishment as it's one of my favourite rides at Chessington [even in it's fairly poor state currently], but I'm not too sure if looking into the past would be the way forward, but we shall have to see.

I think I know what the ride is going to be

I have always been quite a big fan of the Shrek series [perhaps my favourite Non-disney animated film]. Whilst I am quite excited about this new attraction opening up [giving us yet another Merlin attraction to do in London], I am fairly concerned that it will only be a half done job with lots details missing. I like the London dungeons, but even they have a few flawsincluding the method the drop towers work to the unthemed ceilings [which detracts from the experience a little].

I'm preparing myself for Lego Bingo on the potential aspect your winning streak will continue. Still can't believe how fast my empire Rose & fell, but that's empires!

On the off chance, whilst it's likely we will probably see a new (possibly bigger) new shop for Air in the future (maybe it'll be a joint shop for SW8 too), I actually wonder what's going to happen with Forbidden Valley Fish & Chips as it had a fire there earlier this year and hasn't opened since. Could this eatery possibly be on its way out?

This sounds really really exciting!!!! Can't wait to see this open at the park as the one at Europa just looks amazing. Just one of the many steps for the park to become the uk's Europa (not a patch).

Count me in for all of this (professor drunk is the theme of the night)

Lets just hope they now use this time to get the train on two [or prefferably three] train operation as they have about a month until the next peak time and two months before the super peak season. If they have the parts yet

2015: Merlins worst year yet Think I know what I'm voting for most disappointing Merlin moment this year

Seriously thorpe does not need another launched coaster, especially one like Rita because they have a much better one by the same company. However something like Helix or Blue Fire would be a possible exception.

I think it's safe to say Legoland is the only UK (Merlin) park that doesn't have a (big) list of things that look run down or needing care (with the possible exception of Miniland). But then they haven't built a major new ride for four years now.

If only we saw more attention to detail and scale like the new Temple Restaurant in Azteca, we would all be a lot happier with our parks, a Lot Happier!!!

Yeah, I only noticed yesterday they were gone (I thought Vampire's station looked a bit more empty). I did see a couple of large round things at the side when the (only) train turned back in to the station. The UK theme parks really need to get better at upkeep (merlin are far too profit based).

This just looks fab. Europe really are getting some fantastic additions at the moment. Looks like this place is joining the ever going list of places I want to go (but probably won't go for a while).

This all just reminds me of a time when someone said here ageeees ago that the coaster near loggers (which we now know is Saw) was going to be like Air. Something Along the lines of Air is coming to Thorpe Park.

Today saw the massive rise & fall off the Creeksauds group (owner of Adder Towers, Paige world of adventures, Alpe Park & Imatate Park) was brought up by the Equip coaster Entertainments group (soon brought up by Merstone group). Had a really good day and great seeing everyone there again, the new penguin show & Azteca hotel are superb and was a generally great day even with the few park flaws. Big thanks goes to Scarycoaster boy for providing taxi service for part of the journey & for Peaj for organising another excellent meet. celia Mae's newbie winning streak seems to be unstoppable so far, (but we shall see at Legoland)

I think we're going to the Monkeypuzzle (Beefeater) (which is mentioned on the going list I think). Sounds good to me though.

Well despite being at the end of the Easter holidays and two months in to season, Colossus still seems to be on one train and the park have made these signs within the ride area. Source- Theme Park Guide When will thisone train stuff be ome much less of a thing? It's not been a very good year for ride reliability in the UK and were barely a quarter in to the season.

Yeah, I think getting tickets for Vampire should be the first thing we do especially that there may be over 30 of us and don't want to cross hope that tomorrow will be a quiet at the park like last year (it won't be) A mate of mine went Chessie last Thursday and vampire tickets had all sold out by 11.
