  1. I don't when I'm going. But when I go, I want to experience Heidi. Lets hope they get back on their feet

    Spotify Alvey's Screaming or Sanbrooke's singing?
  3. Well this will be a great to go for a peaceful night after visiting the park. Still I'm sure young families will love it and will be a success for the park.
  4. Certainly a concerning one. It's a miracle the guy didn't fall to his death (and kill others). Hopefully the park will get over this as this sounds a very serious and worrying incident.
  5. Had a good read on that earlier, I think it reflects the situation perfectly, especially given how DCA was only fixed from the shambles it used to be. The Guardian's tower (though good it may be) is tearing a massive hole in that repair overhaul. If only I had been to Disneyland California in April for real. I still need to visit there though.

    Time Acceptable or Unacceptable?
  7. Top 10 Dark Ride update alert! 1/ Tower Of Terror 2/ Pirates of the Caribbean DLP 3/ Hex 4/ Valhalla 5/ Fate Morgana 6/ Ratatouille 7/ Droomvlucht 8/ Arthur the ride 9/ Derren Brown's Ghost Train 10/ Duel
  8. There is however a massive difference between the future additions of Avatar Land and Guardians Tower (as mentioned). Avatar Land will be a massive new land built on an area home to mostly forgettable second rate attractions. Whilst a mix bag to most, the park will be gaining a highly new immersive area with much needed dark rides and top theming whilst mostly staying cohesive to the park's setting. Guardians Tower however will be replacing a popular, highly regarded and staple park attraction in a quick last minute project. Whilst the attraction may still be very good, it's going to be practically impossible for this overlay to succeed on what is a clone of one of the best dark rides in the world.
  9. Wow what a week! First Bubbleworks announced as closing and now the California Tower ride. I fear for every good dark ride right now. This is has got to be the worst decision by Disney since the closure of Journey Of Imagination and WDW's Toad ride.
  10. At 30 years it's certainly quite an old coaster now and a shame the ride appears to be for the chopping block. Then again maybe it just needs tonnes of maintenance or structural work, but it does seem very sudden. Glad I went on it when I did. The ride's layout was is identical to Treetops at Oakwood, bar the lack of trees and that it does 2 laps.
  11. There goes another slap on the back of childhood. I know the original technically died in 2005, but I still had a soft spot for the attraction. I don't know whether this move will be put the old ride out of its misery or be an insult to the original. But I have strong faith whatever replaces it won't be that good, because let's face it. Everything needs to be IP's to be successful these days otherwise it'll fail.
  12. Though hopefully this will be sorted. I do wonder whether Heidi will initially now be opening in 2017 instead as by the time the permit situation is sorted the high summer season will be over. safe to say I can see future developments such as the hotel pushed back a year or so, if they can even still happen.
  13. I never doubted for a moment that forced closure of a theme park would actually be happening. However in a world post Blackfish and things, any thing could happen. Hopeful chances are this park will be able renew its environmental licence in due time. If the situation relates to the park getting a fine from the authority, the park could surely claim legal action against those who were supposed to validate the licence (as Baron said). This then just leaves the problem with the woodie. Depending how well the outcome is, how will they reduce noise levels considering original testing was too loud? High fences, sound tunnels, specific materials to quieten the roar, preventing guests from screaming? Surely not. Safe to say this is sort of a Plopsa style situation to what happened at Paultons 6/7 years ago. Hopefully they've got this.
  14. Apparently it reopened yesterday, but without the VR object. Air returns!
  15. Or they could relocate to Camelot's old site even. On a serious note, this sounds very worrying for the park. The things they've done recently look superb and it would be a massive shame if they were forced to shut down. Fingers crossed this works out for them as this situation could severely dent or murder the future of what looked to be an upcoming park.
  16. Obviously need the money for that Mack mega then. Sure it can't come cheap. if this was a bigger park I'm sure there would be a lot more up in arms.
  17. Safe to say these mystery box rides both look weird and wonderful. Which is your favourite? itll be interesting to see how the park's mystery dark rides turn out. The U.K. Needs more of these.
  18. This years got to be the worst on history for delayed rides. DBGT delayed 2 months Chessington Go Ape opening late Southend,s dark ride delays Oakwood being Oakwood Heide at Plopsa's delays Ireland at Europa being delayed Wild Fire opening late Ferrari Land delayed until 2017 Lighting Rod's delays and problems River of Light delays Epcot delays Hulk delays Kong delays If 2016 had a degree of delayed ride openings, it would have a PHD.
  19. Tickets aren't 16p for premium reservations? What a disgrace and missed opportunity. 4.5/10
  20. I graduated yesterday with 2.1 honours in Music B.A at Brunel University. I feel happy of how much I've achieved in the last three years which have unsurprisingly flown by faster than Wodan. Shaking hands with the Chancellor. Next stop, finding or making work.
  21. Has Josh been found yet or is he still on the loose somewhere in Germany? Phantasialand sounds absolutely fantastic, though I'm surprised Taron didn't wow you. Where would you rate it amongst Blue Fire? I do wonder what the park has in line next with Atlantis now demolished and Hollywood, Night Hawk and that ghost train ride apparently on the chopping block. A modern dark ride would probably be nice.
  22. Is a new you tuber (yes I have subscribed)
  23. If I wanted to see fences, I would go to a hardware shop.
