Well that's another bullet to the theme park industry, goodbye. In all seriousness, I hope everyone involved is ok and the injuries aren't too serious. This is could well be the beginning of the end of M&D's.

Oh I'm outrageously jealous of you. And I hear some members are even able to visit Pleasure Island. Lucky them. What an amazing place that looks.

What do oblivion and the U.K. Stock market both have in common today? they both have a vertical drop

Well it looks like Gullivers, Flambards and Blackgang Chine will be my flagship park visits for 2017 by the looks. Better start saving,

Well it looks if better start liking Dunstable for my annual holiday.

September is still a way off. But I can't wait to ride this hopefully then. Looks immense.

For all we know it could be instead of DBGT. Who's to say it will open On the other hand I'm glad they are (sort of) bringing these events back.

Apparently Adventure Island management have decided to stop investing into the park until the council sort out sea front parking.

Good to see the media doing their jobs then. This incident couldn't be more Blackpool. With having people break into the park, operate a ride and be unnoticed for half an hour.

Sounds like Tonnere De Zeus has a lot to live upto then when I visit (possibly summer 2017), especially with the good reviews it's been getting.

5 hour queue for Frozen? I'm surprised it's not longer. Think I'll let it go, down before queuing for that.

RMC are on fire at the moment! Someone out them out. No seriously, we need This sorted out as burning coasters is the least we need.

There are plenty of tests happening right now. Millions of school kids are currently taking their G.C.S.E's and A levels which many have a stressful time ahead. Don't know anything about the ghost train though, so that could be shut until next Christmas for all we know.

The Merlin Annual Pass allows entry to the following attractions including Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Chessington and Legoland Windsor. It also allows entry to the London Eye, Sea Life Centre & Sanctuaries, Dungeon attractions, Shreks Adventure and The Blackpool. If if any of the above attractions interest you and intend to visit at least 3/4 times it is worth the money.

You'll love it Pluk. Europa is an Amazing place to visit.

That has definitely given me the incentive to go and visit Bakken. How Sanbrooke found that place enjoyable is beyond words. Bottom coaster rides for me are: Big One- apart from the drop and riding at night, it's dull,boring and a little painful. No silver star by any means. Tokaido Tivoli World- the ride is as slow as it is painful, 5 laps of uncomfortable boring pain on a circuit that makes the Flying Fish look good. Mad Mouse Great Yarmouth- looks dull, rides dull. It's dull. Rita- it's Rita but it hasn't been riding as badly lately as it used to. So does it even deserve to still be on the list, even if it is Tower's weakest coaster. Dreading the likes of Baco and stampida right now.

Paris looks a loverly a city to visit, definitely need to go there for a cultural trip at some point (not just for Disney). Asterix claims sanctuary towards the upper end of list to do. Summer 2017 hopefully as I've passed an idle Oziris too many times without riding. They are also building a new coaster for 2017 but will see. I just love parks like this. How did Zeus compare to Wodan btw?

Thorpe retaining lions gate? Well that was highly surprising. Platform 15 sounds interesting though, and could well be open before the ride itself for all we know.

Most likely. Longboat Invader is being relocated to make space whilst spinning spider will apparently be rethemed. Loki's is likely to close September. I can see this having a May opening if they don't have any hiccups.

Can't wait until this opens next year. I'm actually wondering whether this attraction will be mostly screen based or wether it's going to feature traditional animatronics. Maybe both. Ride area does look small, could there be the possibility of the ride being on different levels. I do wonder with the facade expecting to be massive.

Despite the debatable blandness of that announcement, backing up Pluk's point. I would much rather have that than a themed announcement which as mentioned could do more harm than good. A basic announcement is much better than 56 people burning to death.

Saw says hi my last ride was about as comfy as a hangover

Sorry not interested. Notify me when they finally open that Zamperla Wooden Coaster they were supposed to get 10 years ago.

Hotel guests going on first? Oh well there's goes our hopes in trying to ride it first. Might as as well just wait until 2018 now.
