If Paramount happens, I can see Merlin trying to open up as many of their uk parks for as long as possible. Ok that's 5 years away (and thing could've changed a lot), but to tackle the competition, I can see them do this and open as many rides too.

Just remembered Peaj was Djing this week. Perhaps the most exciting thing before DLP Look forward to other additions this week.

Warwick Castle: 1000 Years Of History
Matt 236 commented on Mitchada04's blog entry in A Year of Britain
Enjoyed reading this, it was like travelling back in time [to a few weeks ago]. I think we have a Time Lord on this forum :] -

There was actually more at the park to do than just the show and seven rides. They had several experiment/show stands around the park, one with the airzooka to fire off cups (I failed abysmally) and one with powered bikes near Angry Birds. There was also another stand elsewhere, but I wasn't able to find it successfully. I still think it's not bad value for a day out of shows and minimal queues on the other rides.

Tea cups was open though and as far as I'm aware this wasn't advertised for the line up (which was good to see it open). Compared to the previous events (from 2007-2009) it definitely sounds this is a better event even with fewer open rides.

Agreed, really enjoyed today's trip, got lots of (the open) rides done Swarm yet it felt one of the best (non fright night) trips for some time and one of the most relaxed days at the park for some time. The bag flying off Teacups was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, I was laughing hysterically for a good minute.
-
So far quite a good/promising start to the season and to see so many improvements so far (before its proper opening) is definitely a good sign hopefully. Plus every ride today seemed to be running very reliably with no (foreseen) breakdowns, except Flying fish which got stuck round it's track at least twice. Braniac was also very good.

I'm very impressed with Fin's bar and grill. Had a burger there earlier today. It's like bar 360 but it's better plus feels more coherent. Pizza Pasta looks very nice too but is currently closed.
-
Swarm was walk on earlier and stealth was 5 minutes. Dodgems is 5 mins and so is fish. Teacups are walk on. I'm on depth charge now which is likely a 10 minute queue. Another thing to note. Caroulsel is still standing (but is not operating).
-
Currently on park now with a few members and here's what I've got to report so far. 1/ Only Swarm,Stealth, Angry Birds Land (no Detonator), Depth Charge Fish & Tea Cups are open. Everything else is closed (even X & Inferno). 2/ Braniac is in the lakeside marquee building and there's another stand near Angry Birds 4D with experiments 3/ Bar 360 is closed and appears to be going under a new name Fins Grill by the looks 4/ Swarm & Stealth are both on one train (no surprises there)
