Visiting this park next week for the first time. Can't wait!!!!!

Yep correct. Also CCR and the water ferries as they were quite large capacity rides/attractions.

Just to add to this, back in the early to mid 2000's we were reaching numbers between 18000-20000. However this did cause issues. I particularly remember some of the days the queue to get into the car park went back towards the Sainsburys by Staines bridge. For comparison, EPCOT at Disneyworld gets around 80000-90000 for their New Years eve celebrations

Just to chime in on this as I was involved with this project. The trucks used to deliver the material and the excavation machinery were used to compact the earth as it was filled in. I seem to remember we handed over the SAW island to the project team pretty much a couple of months after we had finished infilling. Same with SAW Alive. For The Swarm, think it was about a year, maybe 2 after infilling completed that they started on construction for that project. Any ride structures foundations actually go through the infilled material and into the bedrock below. From memory think the SAW foundations go to 50m

Yeah park looks amazing. Was looking at the show building for the new Harry Potter attraction, its massive!

The World's Most Underrated Theme Park - Genting SkyWorlds Malaysia Review Great review of this park. One of the oddest ones out there I think. On top of a mountain, previously known as 20th Century Fox World Malaysia. Essentially a licensed Disney park with all of the IP's that probably don't fit into a normal Disney park. Its crazy how much IP Disney owns now!

Looks awesome!

Really like this. Concept art looks awesome!

I think its cool when done correctly. E.g. Disney having hidden mickeys, or the C3PO marking on the plane at TDS. Think its nice to have nods to earlier attractions in theme parks. Isn't there a museum at Europa Park that shows off the parks history? Think it would be cool if the UK parks did something similar.

Really good review of this park. I was lucky enough to visit a couple of years ago, and found the park to be a really enjoyable day out. Small & Mighty! - Universal Studios Singapore Review
