Seems derailment is part of the SOPs at Mount Olympus 🤣🤣 https://www.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/1f1v6a6/apparently_zeus_derailed_and_reopened_immediately/

Yes? It's just a jagged cut, not that hard to clean and smooth down, then weld together with a little patch to cover the lost material. Probably a lot cheaper than manufacturing whole new sections.

I'd imagine the council would TUPE most of the existing management, and you'd hope they'd have been in constant contact with Merlin to learn as much as they can about how to run them effectively. Well, you'd hope they did

Excellent report and photos, you can definitely tell you adore the place! How did you get over there? We're in York, so the ferry is closest but I don't fancy spending half a day throwing up!

Watching launch pad last weekend and it doesn't look any more powerful than playstationblast was at the end, it looks like they've just painted it

Austria makes me want to rip my ears off. I'm hoping for Sweden or Malta now that Australia are out

It's been interesting watching these manufacturers iterate on their designs as they moved from "copying" designs without the foundations of why and how they were designed that way originally, onto having that foundation and understanding the why and how of the shaping and layouts! Some of their...

That probably plays a part, but I think it's more to do with the bleaching effects of the sun. Colours would fade faster in the harsh sun, so rather than have to repaint them all the time they've skipped straight to white paint

Would it not be faster and easier to just ship one over instead of drilling through to the factory?

So, assuming you've been struck with inspiration and an insatiable desire to climb Hyperia's lift with no previous climbs and no pass, you're looking at almost £280 for the climb! Hyperia lift - £120 Colossus/Swarm lift - £56 (with a pass) Thorpe silver annual pass - £99 I admire their skill in...

With the ticket scanning system BPBB insist on using, I wonder if they could group tickets together into a "RAP group"? So the lead books their RAP entitlement, and then adds whoever they want to their group in the app. And each ticket can only be in one RAP group, so if you add Geoff to your...

3 weeks seems like a tight target to get all the theming in place, but they must know what they're doing. Are we moving away from details and intricacies in design, and instead moving towards bland colour blocking? What story are they trying to convey? Is the green supposed to represent acid...

It's funny how young people are constantly ridiculed for not behaving themselves, or not putting in effort, or not acting like older adults, or any other perceived failing, and their reward is to be told they're worth less than someone else solely based on their age. There's lots of talk about...

Not moving very quickly, is it? 😉

From what I can see in the council minutes, Universal submitted their draft SDO documentation at some point before the Environment committee meeting on 26th September 2024, which the civil would be a statutory consultee to. Final submission was expected in November 2024, but that was dependant...
