Are there any examples of Merlin making a really good queue for a major attraction? I think the last time Thorpe put proper thought and effort into their landscaping was in 2003 when they put all that coloured bark around NI to look like lava and planted all those orange flowers in it.

Looks like Walt Disney Studios is going to be renamed Disney Adventure World. Thoughts?

Unfortunately that has always been the case with Merlin. They do not know how to “finish” landscaping. It was the same with The Swarm, all the land around was just left full of rubble and weeds. Chessington didn’t do much better with the area under their Wing Coaster.

I honestly think Samurai was the best before they built Saw. It backed up onto the lake, had those trees behind too. Outer row 3 and it would feel like you were about to be flung into the lake. Saw spoiled the sightlines you’d briefly get.

I do love bringing this up, but I think it put the speculation to bed because of some of the new theming elements include; Can we all finally agree that the track is the tentacles and the supports are the “cage”??

I’m going to count it as two extra creds just for fun. 🌝

It wasn’t a gun, it was a drill. Fitted perfectly in with the story that AT were digging when they discovered the creature. That was the drill that first came in contact with Nemesis, hence it being covered in tentacles.

Don’t forget that you’re watching a fan made animation, might wanna reserve that judgement until an actual POV.

I doubt they’d load the entire train onto the track in one go. The pictures will be of the lead cars that are connected, the other rows will be trailered like any other coaster without a zero car.

I think my issue is that I don’t really think that LOTR really translates well to a theme park? When I think of LOTR I think of vast open spaces, the mountain regions of New Zealand, and vastly big constructions (Helms Deep.. the Towers.. Rivendell etc). None of these locations could ever...

I do love what they’re adding to the station, but I still don’t understand why they went for matt black on the track though? Like you can clearly see that the “rails” are part of the creature, even in the new design: So why did they make the decision to paint the track black?? The monster...

I don’t think a hotel’s construction would need it’s own thread, I think it fits in here. Once they start to built a new coaster, that’ll deserve it’s own thread.

I think it’d be too small of a hotel to bother with that though. It has hardly any rooms when you look at other WDW hotels.

I feel like it’s a “bonus” cred to be honest, it wasn’t in any of the original planning permissions. Originally it was a theatre building, so yeah I’ll happily take the extra cred, even if it’s not the most exciting.

They’re probably building it like how Phantasialand built the wall, no time frame, no plan. 🌝

I mean honestly they have already paid to build a second tower which is as tall as the first, that can’t exactly have been cheap. The coaster now has the current 2nd and 3rd tallest element on any coaster in the world, and that’s not even built using oil money.

So does this reconfirm that the track is the monster’s tentacles? 😏

Ah I actually love when parks do this because I’ve been collecting them 😂 Drinks just taste better in my Kondaa cup

It sounds like you might have Objectophilia.

Why does the E have an underbite
