Cracking pics @JoshC. Certainly dwarfs that side of the park

@Matt N I’m sure they said in the original documents that the area will open for the start of the season

@Rollercoaster David that would be an epic idea…. I have always loved the idea of having an Ankh Morpork street with rides build within…. Sod hogwarts have the unseen university tower as the areas focal point. Also you would have to have a clax tower there somewhere.

I have only done Fury and I think it would take something pretty special to top it as far as hyper/gigas go.

I tell you what….. this is riveting! However I am looking forward to seeing if this is proof of concept for their new gen tilt. Thanks for the pics @mrrc

Can you imagine rwinger24’s rant once’s he’s back……. Especially as Iron Gwazi will still be rotting away 😉😂

I am pretty sure that they would take any minimal warping of timber after a year or so when they design the ride….. I’m sure the park are just as keen to get the ride open

I can think of Palace Pier in Brighton…. Their last caster was 2000 I think (Wild Mouse) I know for a fact that the guys are pushing for replacements but I can’t see any new coasters for a long time. Well with the managing company buying Lightwater Valley and all that.

@HllyIlo would that be the one at Peter pans?

There should be a blanket ban on all these bad puns

Oh Matt seriously, I think peet was having a laugh ?

Seems like they have taken a leaf out of Phantasialand’ book ?

I think the claim can still stand as the original lift mechanism is the original and the layout has not changed. What old wooden coaster do you know that has any original wood left. It’s the fact that the layout, mechanism and experience is the same as when it was first built. I’m in the camp...

Konfrontation possibly

I think under thee circumstances a delay was inevitable.

Merlin cut the budget so the whole building could not be themed....... answer monfelx and scaffold poles, that’ll do thank you ?

@Matt N what planet are you on? You’re optimism is going in overdrive. If they are making money out of expensive chocolate, the majority of that money would go into....... well the chocolate side of the business. yes they are building an attraction but expecting a top end coaster is just far...

Yeah sounds like you have a P3 mask, they are for large particles I.e dust and things like that, not bacterial particles. It’s not going to stop all viruses if any.

Money runs out, it’s too bloody hot over there and their tight rules and customs and lastly the local culture obviously does not warrant such demand. Not a good combo for a world theme park destination.
