  1. Today the bedford river festival started and they have a fairly big funfair on and they have a Mondial Top Scan there. All I can say is WOW. it was the best cycle I've ever had on a Top Scan! started off slow and then built up with speed and by the end was on full pelt! seriously amazing ride! it's owned by Joey Whitelegg(It used to be at Lightwater Valley under the name Whirlwind). here's a video from it in Corby! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHM6FVTEDPs

    I thought Mr Sanbrooke would have known better.  

     

    For the parks sake, try and keep it a secret. It's what they asked for and as Merlin have been having a rough time recently - I'm sure they'd appreciate us making an effort to keep the secret. They've spent 3 years designing and creating this attraction without giving anything away, yet 3 days into rehearsals everything has been given away. 

    Thing is Sanbrooke works for Merlin so that's why I'm even more shocked that he made that video exposing everything 

  3. I think it's rather unfair to say they are left to rot. Nemesis Inferno's paint at the moment makes it fit in rather well with the theme. the staff at all parks make sure their rides look good for each day (etc cleaning the queue line) and they do a bloody good job of it. I think Thorpe looks great. SAW looks great and won't need a repaint for quite a lot of years. a lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes to make sure the rides look good and work well. just cause they look a little rusty don't mean it actually is rusty. we have horrible weather which means our rides fade quicker than others. 

  4. The London SEALIFE is now a timed entry attraction so now you must always get a ticket. no more just going in and scanning your MAP(if you own a MAP). it sucks a little cause there's no point getting a timed entry on a super quiet day imo it should only be for busy days. 

  5. Am hearing nothing about a phantom manor/ haunted mansion/mystic manor style ride? I hope it will be getting one because if I'm correct in saying every disney park (except california adventure) has a PM/HM/MM style ride? and would be weird if they never got one

    If this is going to be "watered down" and "suitable for all", that suggests McKamey is trying to create a scare attraction, but living off of the hype / name of McKamey Manor.  That only spells disappointment for scare attractions fans, "fans" of McKamey and basically anyone in between.  If that's just a lie and it is an extreme shock attraction, then it's just going to be terrible like all shock attractions are (in my opinion).

     

     

    Thing is before for people who do the short tour he usually tones it down but from the videos it still looks brutal. people are still covered in fake blood and vile liquid..... this is gonna probably end with Russ getting arrested and it being shut down within a week 

  7. we already have Cracked in this country which is a similar version of Mckamey Manor but not as violent and actually has a safe word.... who needs Mckamey Manor over here??? it is the worst thing ever created. the amount of things which could go wrong... like the violent pushing and shoving and slamming on the ground. wouldn't be surprised if someone ends up going blind or getting something like internal bleeding 

  8. It took me till 2011 until I went on my first upside down/ major coaster which was Nemesis Inferno. I was so scared of big rides before that even though I love them. Just tell yourself it's fine and ask the ride host to recheck your safety bar and you will feel good. After your first two rides you will feel really good and not fear it anymore :) 

  9. The Mellors are very good at their business. Been a major key player in the ride business for quite a few years. With their knowledge of unique rides which are not in the UK at all and all that they know I think they can bring something amazing to Fantasy Island. 

  10. Glad you enjoyed the park!! Although it would be fab for Rage to have an airtime hill the layout they bought is a bog standard preset one by Gerst! saying that if you keep your safety bar a little loose you do get amazing airtime on the first drop!!! also time machine 5 times?! are you made of steel or something?! with being made to sit at the front of the coasters Green Scream tends to stall a lot during testing if the weather is windy or rainy so they need all the weight at the front! great trip report! :D 

  11. This isn't a great year for names in my opinion.

    LLW: Lego Movie 4D Experience. Creative.

    CWOA: Pandamonium. Get it coz its pandas? Hahahaha funny! LAUGH!

    TP: DB's Ghost Train. Great. Nothing says scary like a fairground ride!

    AT: Galactica. Oh how original. Next they'll have a ride named after a number! Oh... wait...

    I don't know of any fairground ghost trains which have had a budget of £40 million spent on them.........
