    Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach to be refurbished for 2023

    My guess is... Open it as much as they can on weekends and coming school holidays. Open it for a single hour or so off peak so as to keep the low level day punters happy. Use tech rehearsal as the excuse for such a cheap service until the school trip season kicks in.

    Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach to be refurbished for 2023

    After the 7th. So I had no faith for Easter. They have maxed out prospective sales before admitting a date. Not subtle.

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Hudud...sodomy...death penalty? Correct me if I am wrong, but homosexual sex means death under Saudi law, doesn't it? Stoning people to death for loving someone of the same sex hasn't actually happened for a decade or so, but it is still enshrined in law. Same for adultery or a dozen other...

    Rides that don't feel safe

    Perhaps the answer there is to limit the amount of snapping. More the rider not being safe than the ride! For me, Flying Machines at Blackpool. Thirty feet above ground at forty miles per hour. Not a seatbelt in sight for a hundred and twenty years.

    Lightwater Valley - Future?

    This is what they do. 'Mingo actually managed to get their reviews suspended some time ago, things got that bad for them. Post covid closed ride rip offs and massive food queues, with no refunds and rude staff, all the usual! Kept me chuckling for hours.

    Lightwater Valley - Future?

    The fake Tripeadvisor reviews are appalling. Lots and lots of five start reviews over the last six months (park closed for most of it) from lots of people who have only done one or two reviews, ever. Should be banned, blatant false reports.

    The future of Oblivion @ Alton Towers – Retrack? Layout Change? Demolition?

    Was there at the time, with the man in the silly uniform and dj bag trying to look mysterious by the fence. Very very big hole, I couldn't see the bottom from the viewing area, and I'm tall! I remember thinking you could stick half a dozen BPB Wild Mouse rides in the thing, three deep, two...

    The future of Oblivion @ Alton Towers – Retrack? Layout Change? Demolition?

    No, the track was placed in the tunnel after the tunnel was created, there would be little problem with repairs that I can see. The actual construction hole in the ground was enormous, ten times bigger than the finished tunnel.

    The future of Oblivion @ Alton Towers – Retrack? Layout Change? Demolition?

    Too close to the local community for any major changes that would involve planning, it is Towers only big drop coaster, and it is a popular queuemunching monster when staffed properly. Going nowhere, nothing doing changewise, for another decade, if not two.

    Coasters that made you feel nothing

    The Wild Mouse at Blackpool. I feel nothing, just this endless, cold, empty, quiet, hole within my soul. I'm over it, nearly.

    Coasters that made you feel nothing

    It was built so I will have something to ride in my old age. Been on it more than once where the average age of riders on the train was well over fifty... Word is getting round.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    It would be impossible to "hide" such a big coaster that is being built right next to a public footpath.

    Have you ever 'completed' a park?

    Every last thing at Blackpool, repeatedly. Evidence given on the tiny kiddie train ride next to Avalanche. Thankfully, all kiddie stuff done with mates kids.

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    Fully dead, last chance saloon for people owed money to get some of their money back...in worthless shares, unless something rises from the ashes, which it won't, because the "project" currently shows massive losses, and no sign of any income for at least another decade. Which is all a bit...

    Worst class you’ve ever taken?

    All these years later, do they still do Spearman Rank Coefficient Correlations in statistics? Only bit I could do...we conclusively proved that penguin birthrates were related to old "O" level results for Lancashire. Statistically that is, I don't think there is a real link.
