Thorpe: x1 Legoland: x1 Liseberg: x2 ...I need to get outside more...

I'm sure The Smiler looked great from the concept art too. Until opening day.

The difference is that back then the park was owned by Lego who were clearly able to provide a large enough budget. Merlin however...

...and so, yet another reincarnation of Merlin's infamous staple attraction, "Shed: The Ride" makes its grand appearance...

A visual representation of me attending the meet after being unable to attend meets all year due to work, college, poor mental health (insert other burdens) etc. etc. etc.: (This means I'm a straight yes by the way)

It's just sad to know that Chessington apparently take no notice of the animation...yet still decide a couple years ago that it's the HAIR that needs an "upgrade". So now the organist not only doesn't move much (if not at all) but also appears to belong in the Georgian era, while not being remotely intimidating by any means.

Just leaving this here...

This just gave me a flashback to 2015's WC16 discussions...

With that time of year right around the corner, it's worth noting Liseberg seems to be getting some new scare mazes this Halloween: Hotel Gasten will be getting a makeover into 'Smittharden Gasten'. Two new mazes, named 'The Attic' and 'The Experiment' Given I was quite impressed by Hotel Gasten in June, the revamp definitely sounds interesting!

According to ScareTOUR, Thorpe have recently confirmed one of their classic mazes may be returning alongside The Walking Dead this year. Okay so if Big Top goes then fair enough I'll kick off but what if Asylum's replacing it?

There's certainly an addicting side to Thirteen to be totally honest, last time I went I was just marathoning it (thank goodness for the single rider line).

I'll be a maybe for now, it just depends if I have another job by then.

This was uploaded a while back but this is some very interesting footage from a talk by Disney Imagineering on the Phantom Manor revamp...and by the looks of things it's been confirmed that the original dialogue by Vincent Price is going to be incorporated after all! It's also very interesting to hear that the true identity of the Phantom could be made more clear following the revamp.

From my own memory this wasn't just played in Amity Cove. I believe this was played PARK-WIDE because I definitely remember it playing in Canada Creek and in the queue for the Flying Fish. Yeah I know I still remember what the park was like when I was 6...

It's moments like this that've made the Yogscast so special and now this guy's gone and animated this series of events in particular.

I heard it was because the supporting structure sank into the ground slightly after that particular bit of track was installed. Would make sense if it was true, given the land had been filled in on the lake a few months before.

Someone seemed to have given it a clean when I went over the weekend - save for a couple of faint marks which are barely noticeable.

Kids these days... ?

Give it a year or so. They'll be bringing in Fortnite soon enough for the same reason...

*lack of work/attention/consideration (etc. etc. etc.) altogether. Think we'll just end the suggestions there. Anyway, it's quite obvious Loggers has had this coming really. Ever since its closure, it's just been sat there rotting away as if it was just meant to be forgotten. Sure it's an old ride, and if the news of its removal is true, then good. At the end of the day it means something new is taking its place in the near future...which is hopefully another, more up to date water ride. Shame Merlin have the tendency to leave any rides to rot that are at least a decade old though...hence Colossus not getting the repaint it deserves...
