Teacups confirmed removal for 2027.

Can I throw Second Detonator Tower in the ring? Would make the repaint make sense, as the second one will be brand new.

Maybe.... there is some sort of higher power after all. Russ would be proud.

The Detty repaint is the most bizarre decision because, even if it looks scrappy (can't say I've ever noticed anyway), does it really matter? It's not like it's a sprawling coaster track. Can only assume it was a case of "we've got this money to spend, let's do that". Rumours that the Inferno station has had some improvements and that the BOSE cannons are working again but we shall see! Talking of Colossus - the repaint of the walls near the bridge to yellow was already looking god awful last season.

We will never hear those beautiful words again.... RED BOAT SIT DOWN PLEASE.

Exactly this... "The RAP queue is as big as the main queue!"... ""It's all booked up for months" Yeah, wonder why that is...

My concern is that 2026 is going to be a "meh" year for attendance following Hyperia not exactly setting gate figures on fire last year, meaning all the more reason for the powers that be not to invest in anything for ages, and thus the cycle continues. I know it was the "good old days" but I was today years old when I learnt that Inferno opened the year after Colossus. Mad. Chances of that ever happening again....? 😆 I hope if but when Rumba goes, like yourself, it doesn't remain SBNO for ages as it's a HUGE area of land, and as soon as it goes we know what's coming next. You can, rightly or wrongly, sort of get away with Slammer being there SBNO for so long, but Rumba no so much!

A real sign of the times, that - shame.

Sonic Spinball had to be rethemed for similar reasons, the allegations that Knuckles filed meant they had to quickly drop the brand in closed season so it's definitely possible they could reopen as just David Land and drop the Walliams.

The talk of Ghost Train baffles me, as it's the future of theme parks.

Tidal Fire Effect confirmed returning?

Thorpe Park now post on the forum under the alias' Jart and Parm Pap.

Marp backwards is Parm.

I complained about this before and got shouted down on socialz saying I should have planned my time better and stopped for 10 minutes to get something to eat 🙃 ...I haven't been to a Fright Nights since, as the idea of paying for mazes and not getting them all done - potentially - I found insane.

This, and this alone, is reason enough for me to never visit Fright Nights on a pay-per-maze basis.
