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.

Is a conspiracy theorist

Tickets aren't 16p for premium reservations? What a disgrace and missed opportunity. 4.5/10

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.

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.

Is a new you tuber (yes I have subscribed)

In other news, Merlin and Towers have yet again proved their dedication to theming up areas of the park. Glad to see them keeping up appearances.

Too many ghost train references, 4.5/10. In seriousness though, glad you enjoyed the park (which is somewhere I'm looking at going at some point). Lost Gravity looks a very strange coaster indeed. How did it rate amongst the euro fighter type rides (which this is clearly Mack's take on)?

I tested the test that test the test of it opening soon. unfortunately I believe the test failed the test.
-
So glad they decided to invest in this, because the selection of kids rides at Towers is apparently somewhat lacking. Horray for much needed park additions.

Lego are releasing this in September A model of the Disney World Cinderella Castle. One word. WOW!

solving our papers exaggeration of stories. The large solution Re the small solution avoid the articles. Because everyone enjoys reading about a normal day occurrence.

My interpretation of a dark ride is this. If the ride features a considerable amount of scenery, animatronics and/or screens that seem to depict a setting then Yes it is a dark ride. If it's just a few effects or things like lasers then no it's not a dark ride. For example: Enclosed coasters and water rides I consider dark rides: Arhur valhalla Vogel Rock River Caves Those I do not: X Temple In The Nighthawk The Logflume at Toverland Euro Sat Space Mountain is debatable.

Wooden Coaster at Thorpe Park & Hotel Expansion
Matt 236 replied to CallumSyxr's topic in The Future
Depending how successful SW8 is, who's to say Thorpe's next big thing could be a woodie. Then in again we could just see them add an Angry Birds themed coaster featuring VR around a jungle. Backwards. -

Booked my ticket! Can't wait for meet 4.5 of 2016 -
Feel very happy for Paultons. whilst I've never visited the park (yet), they seem to be highly dedicated in what they do with intentions to improve all the time. They are a park which are well and truly on the up and I think there's s number of parks out there that could learn a few things from them.

Yes I would love stand up trains on Colossus, because the current trains aren't painful enough. If Colossus will ever get new trains it needs something along the lines of Taron.

Wow that's generous, it must be a nice enough looking fence though.

Forget about Klugheim and The Ghost Train, this is what 2016's all about. So glad Oakwood went for something worthwhile. The colour scheme looks ok I suppose.
-
If anything happens to Hex I'll drink absinthe Location wise, I'd say the following may be on the radar: The area around Adventure Land charlie and the card board factory That corner where wobble world and driving school are Ripsaw or Sub Terra sites (unlikely) Cant think of anymore.
-
Alton Towers have submitted a planning application which mentions demolition of existing structures amongst a new ride. Full applaning application can be seen here. This is a separate application from SW8 so it's possible this will be for a 2017 ride. (Hopefully not CBeebies)
-
Taron sounds an amazing ride. Out of interest how does it compare to Blue Fire and Wodan? How was Phantasialand as a whole and how does it rate against Europa? I look forward to visiting in just over 2 months.

Tickets are back online now. There was a glitch apparently. Although they hey are now £20 (not £15) I would recommend buying one NOW if you haven't bought one yet.
