The current water play area is being replaced with a new water playarea in the same place, they're also adding a new water play area at the golf. Its more a case of adding to the pipes they've already got.

What I think is really cool is that the rubble is shaped like the bricks. The attention to detail is really cool.I'm impressed.

To be able to claim they have a new attraction

True, YOU are the "nemesis" of nemesis inferno. Also compare the theming to storm surge, it should look way better to you

Another new land??!... well, at least they're actually demolishing something this time (looking at you pirates). but, they're removing the little duplo houses with... duplo houses. they're removing the water play area with... a water play area. it seems a little strange to me, but oh well. adding more seating to the theatre makes sense, because I remember years ago it was getting busy there, so I'm presuming that's worse now. by the way, have they built the extra seating down at the stunt show yet? the bit that confuses me though, isn't the golf a little bit of a distance away from the rest of the stuff? I guess the golf didn't exactly become a runaway success then. overall, it looks decent, and as long as they don't mess with my storytale brook, then I can deal with it. but this is now the 14th attraction that has water involved with it. how about some fire for once?

Just a question: do the resorts automatically get a larger budget? if yes, then that suggests to me that Thorpe want a hotel as soon as possible, so they get more to spend on the park. we've seen this year a number of touch ups around the place, so I wonder if the temporary hotel is just for the boost in money to spend. I also wonder if they're hoping that if this is successful, then merlin will be more willing to pay for a permanent hotel?

But with inflation, £220 won't be as bad as it sounds now.

If they got police in, it must of been something serious, have you any idea how expensive it is to get police to help in a private event/ establishment? I know that football stadiums need to pay nearly £1000 per police officer to get them inside the stadium, and that price increases for other places.

They could also do without power and get the guests to give it a push start, it could work

I see your point now... (Backs away from computer)

But having rides closed doesn't cost them more money than having them open. while the engineers potter around from ride to ride, people who would be going on the closed rides either go on other rides, play the carnival games, or buy food, drinks and souvenirs. If you think what the guests end up doing instead, then you'd need to question why you'd pay more to see less money through in-park purchases. also, there is no evidence people don't return, is there? I mean, attendance has been increasing for years, and doesn't show signs of stopping anytime soon, and unless there is some mass exodus of fast track users in one go, then I don't think fasttrack makes a significant difference in wait time, especially on the high throughput rides like the swarm, where the thing that slows down the line is usually the baggage and batching being messy.

That was a good film actually, even if it had te doosh from transformers, but cool to see progress!

oh, I see, thanks for the information.

Is the track on this different to normal Woodies, eg wheels on the sides for going through the inversions?

They'll need to basically stop photosensitive epileptics from visiting though, which I can imagine not going down well. For everyone else though, this sounds great. I look forward to te results of this

Nice!

Oh I didn't realise that, huh

so they've finished a roller coaster, which doesn't open for at least 7 months??? seems legit. or is there a lot of theming to be done? even without theming I love the look of this ride!

that's funny, but it can be fun to go on, especially when the one person in your group who has never been on it before is the only one to come off somehow completely drenched!

Imagine one long rollercoaster... Then imagine that instead they have duelling coasters as well as flats below it. Thats the kind of idea I wish merlin would have, an epic one.

can't wait to go on this in december!!!! But, have they found dwarves for some of the minion costumes, because they're all so little?

Wow that looks good! I had no idea it would be anything like that, I want it here...

Jeez, at least it looks like you have something to look at...

I mean, I'm happy the park is doing well... But count me out of that line.

However, they don't have BOGOF, so is it really cheaper?
