Does Madame Tussauds' Spirit of London count? It's bonkers and I love it. Apparently it's only 5 minutes, but it feels much longer.

Fabulous! I remember at the time thinking the carriage didn't look very practical and that people would drown (if the sharks didn't get them first)

I haven't see any, but it would be fun to dig out. Might be worth e-mailing Radio 4's Rewinder to dig into the archive. Looking at broadcast dates, it would either be Going Live in 1989, or Live And Kicking in 1995. I'm thinking the latter, with the guys from Alton Towers boasting about taking...

Yeah, it was on the BBC1 show (Going Live, I think) but it was an April Fools Joke.

At least they've done the name and branding before building the attraction this time.

If Amanda's having problems thanks to Brexit, maybe she should think twice about welcoming the Tories to her hotel.

Everyone forgets the River Caves :(

I've never even heard of Heron Foods!

I prefer Legoland.

Would love that to happen but I doubt the NIMBYs will pass it

Yes, they should stick to the universally standard size comparisons of football pitches and double-decker buses.

I thought the Big One was 235ft above sea level, but the actual park (and therefore the Big One's base) is itself 20ft above sea level, which is why you get the discrepancy. Sea level: 235ft, actual height from the floor of BPB: 213ft.

No, he still isn’t.

Nah, he tried twice and lost both times! He was a junior transport minister in Major’s government so should know a bit about the infrastructure needed for this project, although he’s never been hugely successful in business or politics.

Bit annoyed as I was talking about this on Radio Lancashire the other week and confidently predicted it would be a Peppa Pig world! Ah well, at least I was topical.

Not often you see white dog poo anymore.

Yeah, I got the rollercoaster during lockdown and loved it. A really fun build with lots of details. It's part of the same range as the Haunted House, which is also a really good substantial build and is basically a version of Tower of Terror.
