Someone please change the topic name to "New for 2017"

I think Nemesis Inferno is better than Swarm..

Demonioum was simply the worst ghost train I have ever done. 7 tokens is crazy for this thing, I wouldn't even pay 2 tokens for the utter bore of it. The whole thing felt too light, it was short, and the whole thing was full of sections with nothing going on.

For me I would choose. Asylum: simple, but effective. EX10: AMAZING. The Curse: my first maze, nostalgia. BWP: my favourite lionsgate maze/Zone Hellgate: never done it, but it's a classic. TBH I hate the idea of reviving attractions which our long dead, But looking at TBT... Maybe it is a good idea.

TBH I find the TOWIE stars more annoying than Lady C Put the TOWIE crew into a horror maze, that would scare me..

But for me unlike Smiler for those rides bar Colossus there are actually OTHER things than Inversions to them. Even Colossus has that crazy bunny hop which IMO 10x better than Smiler's bunny hops. Also The Smiler IMO has just no force to it, and you can't really say its that smooth either.. I like Smiler, I'm glad its opening again. But I wouldn't say its the UK's best.

TBH I would of preferred a smaller ride/coaster. I do like Smiler,(mainly for its theme and the airtime(ish) hills). And they did pull of something spectacular in that space! Its just that the Smiler's Inversions aren't all that memorable IMO, also being a little on the rough side.. Also there is so much inversions to be put into a rollercoaster before it comes tedious and unfun..

TBH I think The Smiler is great except from its awful layout.. Boring inversion,after boring inversion. I could argue Blue Fire's Horshoe Roll is better than Smiler's 14 inversions put together.. But it opening gives X Sector life, X Sector feels lifeless without Smiler. Also nobody can doubt than The Smiler is popular with the GP,(probably even now).

Can't wait to ride Smiler,Hex,Flume,Nemesis Sub Terra,The Flume, CATCF, again! Roll on 2016!

The Flume is IMO awful, it is good at its job,(being a log flume). But just about any other Log Flume in the UK is better.. On another note I don't get why Battle Galleons didn't scrapped, when Hex did..

Well Star Wars is coming out soon, Maybe it could be.. Stars Wars: Revenge Of The Mack Log Flume

IMO it is a H&S overeaction or cost cutting due to the Log Flumes probably being a drain on resources.. Either way it is a pretty dumb move by Merlin. If it is H&S then why do a million other log flumes across the world run safely? Anyway simply moding the logs to have lap bars surely wouldn't take a year.

Poor Maintenance?

IMO I don't think Merlin are in finance state,(if they where they would be selling some of there smaller attractions they own). I think closing the six rides is mainly due to profit. Like come on.. IMO closing six rides is going to make people not come to the park. Or people will get bad experiences of the park,(like I would be angry if I payed 50£ for six rides to be closed). Which makes me question if in the long run this would be a good plan, would it just lower gate figures even more? God help Merlin when Paramount hit the scene..

Hex being SBNO for next year is really sad. Hex isn't broken or in deseprate need, it is also the parks best dark ride. Having six rides down is disapointing to say the least.. I guess The Flume getting the scap is news that I'd been wanting to hear for the last decade.

My count. Thorpe: 15 Chessington WOA: 4 Legoland W: 2 Alton: 2 Europa Park: 1 BPB: 1 Brighton Pier: 2

Blue Fire dosen't have a rave spiral lift hill though..

Fastrack Island?

Dora at BPB is mindblowing. I was in awe of the ride. To the cheap theming, to the anoying theme tune, it is mindblowing

Maybe Containment next year can do a PR stunt involving Kay Burley? Now that would be scary..

A Gerstlauser Eurofighter please!

I agree with AstroDan, Why shouldn't we compare to this to Tirol at Europa? Loggers is clearly neglected.. Almost any non Merlin Log Flume is way more well kept than Loggers,(not just Tirol)..

I swear he means Rugrats in NL. I don't think Vahalla can be classed as a log flume really..

Welcome to the Forum/Hotel.

I was not saying Muslims as a whole. I was talking more about the Qu'ran. The Qu'ran does have its positive and good passages. Like anything it can interpreted differently, I'm not saying all Muslims are mass murders(because that is ignorant). IMO it is a mixture of the Qu'ran, and a murderous maniac.
