    Yeah I think a new gen Intamin log flume would be a good shout. However I would like to see a water coaster at some point in the UK, which would be a UK first. Think a water coaster would work really well at Thorpe. Ghostly Manor looks really good! Think they have done an awesome job.

    Looks good! Been wanting to see one of those ART Swings in a UK park now for a while. They look really fun!

  21. Disney and Miral just announced a brand new resort park in Abu Dhabi. Looks like they have gone down a different route and are doing something different to the usual castle park(judging by the concept art) Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi Disney Announces Plans for New Theme Park and Resort with Miral in Abu Dhabi

    So finally manged to get Hyperia today. First ride was back row, and it was insane! 2nd ride was towards the back. Also did some rides I haven't done in years. Got 5 laps on Flying Fish, did Vortex & Zodiac ( which I immediatley regretted - getting older and lots of spinning do not go hand in hand), Quantum and Rush. Tidal Wave was a godsend today. Also did Swarm, SAW and Nemesis. We ate at Vibes which was very good, and price was reasonable. I also took some travel sickness tablets with me today which made the difference! More thoughts on Hyperia: Was surprised how much you are out of the seat. Didn't think it needed to be much longer, maybe a helix or additional bunny hop. Queue line leaves a lot to be desired, also think they need some sort of screening on the lift motor as its very loud. Surprisingly quite busy. Colossus broke down and was stuck on the lift when we arrived. Assuming it moved to one train operation as the queue was 60mins for a lot of the day. Stealth was out all day.

  28. I would expect a lot of the Merlin staff are probably eyeing up a potential move over to Universal at some point. Considering the redundancies the company is going through, I wouldn't be surprised.
  29. Post from the BBC - Bond and Paddington set to star at Universal park They mention Bond, Paddington and LoTR which is interesting.... Also says that Harry Potter will not be making an appearance
  30. Much excitement!!!!!

    So didn't manage to get Hyperia today 😔 Had a surprisingly smooth ride on SAW. Nemesis is awesome and has aged like a fine wine. Did Stealth and Swarm, had a Burger King and a pint, and then went home. I do feel for the park, they have had issues with their last two installations (Derron and Hyperia).
