    Shortest maximum height restriction on a non-kiddie coaster?

    Pretty sure Wicker Man is 1.88m, or 6ft 2

    New (temporary, hired) flat rides for Alton Towers

    Is there no chance they could maybe remove some of the signage and theme these a little? I sort of feel like maybe some new flats were always planned for 2021, but with covid meaning that Gangsta Granny was delayed, they had to come up with some quickly?

    SW9 at Alton Towers

    No it’s not, it’s a 3 year gap between Thirteen and the Smiler. But yeah, like calm down, a question to guests about how they found Rita is not confirmation of when and where SW9 is going to happen ?

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Future Predictions

    I'd say this seems a bit pessimistic. Before Icon, the park had been making medium sized investments every couple of years with Nickelodeon Land, the Wallace and Gromit ride and Sky Force. It wouldn't be that surprising if another similar investment opened in 2020, as it would follow the trend...

    Paultons Park | Tornado Springs | New Area | 2021

    Most of that isn't actually far off though, apart from the old Vekoma track on the right. Has anyone got any photos of these construction borders? They're not reliable in accurately depicting the ride, I agree, but they would be interesting to see.

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    I’m no way whatsoever is this gonna beat the Smiler in popularity ? Yeah it’s good that it’s another major non-Merlin coaster, following Icon and the Paultons one, but if it wasn’t being sold for cheap then they wouldn’t have gotten it.

    Knightmare is now scrap metal, y'all can stop wondering

    Paultons Park | Tornado Springs | New Area | 2021

    Yeah, maybe because it’s the only cake to share a name with a Mack spinning coaster.

    Paultons Park | Tornado Springs | New Area | 2021

    Or maybe it’s just a hint that it’s simply a Mack spinning coaster in general? Like that’s the name of another Mack spinner, maybe that’s all they’re going for.

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    I mean, if they did actually sound like photo company names then I guess it would be funny. ;)
