No don't find this music annoying at all. Excuse me whilst I put on my headphones and deafen myself with the Inferno theme.

Priority tickeded systems? That's going to work like a house on fire. Whatever could go wrong?
-
Hot weather premier Inn or Travelodge?

Agree Wodan is fab which is also why it's my No.1. Amen

I think they currently have two tower type rides [one of which may be the Sky Flyer]. As for where this is going, it's hard to say not knowing the park but the video suggest at least one of the existing will remain. Despite it's relitively tiny size [somewhere around 15 acres] it does boast a fair number of coasters including a Gravity Group woodie, A Schwartkopf like Knightmare and Vekoma suspended [amongst others]. There's also a decent looking traditional Ghost Traiin, Tunnel Of Love ride and numerous flat rides.

Indeed and whilst they are far from perfect, Disney are slowly fixing their errors from the Eisner epitome era. DCA got a massive overhaul which finished a few years back and went from one of the worst Disney parks to one of the best. Walt Disney Studios is getting there. It's got another much needed high quality ride and hoping the 25th Anniversary goes well, that park is expected to get lots of attention in the near future [Marvel Land, Avatar Land [2.0] etc.]. The one thing I've noticed about Merlin recently is how areas seem to be lacking cohesion. In a good park, you walk from one themed area to another one but barely notice the transition. This is something parks like Disney and Europa do right and something Tussauds did well at too [prior to their DIC years]. Sadly you don't really seem to get that often with Merlin rides these days with rides just being slapped down on any available plot and not always shaped in to the existing area.

This would make perfect sense if true as the ride plans suggest strong similarities between the two. Sub-Terra involved pre-shows and ABC drop towers whilst Ghost was expected to have pre-shows and also use ABC drop towers. Perhaps this is the reason why the Ninjago plans suddenly surfaced which will be built instead of rather than in-addition of Ghost. A shame really as I was looking foward to Ghost at Legoland Windsor.

Grona Lund is small'ish amusement park located in Stockholm which is probably the 2nd biggest park in Sweden [after Liseberg]. For 2017 the park will be building a giant new drop tower called Ikaros. The ride will be 95 metres tall [aprox. 311ft] and will be similar to Falcon's Fury as it will be using tilting seats.
-
Well that's a great shame to hear this, it seems they have given up the Ghost then (which would explain the absence in building work there). I wonder if this has anything to do with the new Ninjago ride/area they are planning for the Loki's site (which I hear they plan to open next year). Speaking on which, I've heard no news on that project at all recently, and do wonder if it's been approved.
-
Yes, and I can't see any exposed ware house either for that matter and planning seems to look better especially as this ride is technically advanced as well. It it looks a fine beast this one and intend to ride it eventually,
-
Train delays? Ride delays? Thorpe have struck gold with this one, replicating real life experiences. I dread to see the queues for this in summer.
-
Loverly review again. Despite having some improvements over our UK stuff, you can tell the park screams Merlin. With its fastrack, use of IP's, queue lines, style and safety procedures. Still want to visit though, even for the woodie and Krake alone.
-
Hansa sounds a loverly park. Definitely sounds like it's rides though are superior to Merlins with smoother Gersts, a better storm surge ride and even better dark ride sections.
-
Phantasialand sounds a loverly place to visit. How does it compare to Europa park? I'm hoping to visit later this year and stay in the hotels. Is it worth staying on site?
-
Klugheim now has an opening date which is the 30th June. Source- Phantasialand's Facebook. Cant wait to hopefully experience these in the near future.

The solution to everything towers? Mark Mark throughputs Contraptions manufactured by Mark.

People not liking or watching Star Wars? We can't have that.

Official TPM German Mouse Meet At Europa Park 28-30th May 2016
Matt 236 replied to AJ 's topic in TPM 2016 Meets
Second and final instalment of the meet video is now up. -
The irony when the one time Towers could've won enthusiasts over with a woodie, they give us one with a mundane layout. Still excited but it's no Wodan.
-
People complaining about throughputs? That is new.
-
Oh hype! Sorry I forgot exactly what the was its been so long. This has more circles than the circle line.

Whilst most of you know I have a themepark channel, covering parks I visit (and the shenanigans there), I also have a music channel. It it is here I release music I perform, play and sometimes compose. Recently done a piano cover of Howl's Moving Castle and am hoping to release more of these soon.

Uploaded another overdue piano arrangement, from Howl's Moving Castle

Walnart SW8 or Project2018?

Disneyland Resort looks a spectacular place to visit, from its vast array of lands and shows and is somewhere I'm highly interested in visiting in the near future. Being someone who's only done the Paris version, which American resort would be the best to visit first? Which of the two is your favourite? Thanks for report btw
