Re: Fantasy Island (UK) Updates ^ Nah it's the old drive through restaurant round the other side of the park. Apparently Odyssey's station is being enclosed because they're installing heaters by the track to keep the wheels warm whilst it's sitting dormant.

Haha I've checked a couple of times this morning. Their website says that it's due to open for Easter, so whilst that good as it sort of confirms it as a ride, it's also can't be anything major if it's going up in like 3 weeks. I drove past at the weekend (didn't know of this then) and I...

Gt Yarmouth Pleasure Beach have said on Facebook that there will be an announcement tomorrow (Wednesday) for a major new attraction coming to the PB. The use of the word 'attraction' isn't filling me with joy, but you never know.

I see the Rock 'n' Roller coaster is now closed until like the end of June. What's the plan for that? Seems a bit too long for just the usual maintenance.

Re: Fantasy Island (UK) Updates Yeah, they'll have even more room if the rumours are true about them demolishing the old McDonalds building.

That is just going to be......... unrideable. The train will be travelling at around 90mph over that section of track. Saw is painful enough without any visible track bends. The Ultimate could have a new rival here....Can't wait to see it testing :lol:

Re: Fantasy Island (UK) Updates Could we finally see the first new ride at the park for 12 years?!

Wut?

Yeah not too many. Oakwood Pleasurewood Hills Fantasy Island Chessington Thorpe GYPB Plus a few of them small Wild River flumes at seaside parks.

I can't say I've ever seen or heard of a water coaster rumour, I just think it's very good idea that makes a lot of sense.

I've always thought that Enigma would make a really cool spinner. But that's farrrrr too much imagination for the team at PWH.

A Mack Water coaster would be quite ideal really. Keeps up a bit of variety and they're good for the whole family.

Yet another photo showing some very dodgy track work there.....

Re: Fantasy Island (UK) Updates Odyssey is looking good, also looks like they're enclosing the station: Mouse coaster being reconstructed near the Odyssey:

I think this is more to do with future development, rather than any of these cut backs. This plus Ripsaw all fits in with that RMC rumour.

It's not a bad idea really, gives people something different to do if they stay in the hotels. BUT, £33 each will work out more expensive than park entry with a BOGOF.

The Parc has confirmed new track, new journey and more speed! I'm surprised they're keeping the name the same, if they're going to to this much effort (installing a new coaster an a...), they should at least go full whack on it being a new experience.

"New route" defo leans towards new cred IMO.

^ That's the 2017/18 project, this is just a kiddie cred that's going to be ready for April 2016. Could be that the track is being refurbed, or they're doing a Plopsa and getting a new copy of the old coaster.

Parc Astèrix put up this on Facebook today: "SOS Numèrobis Getting back on the right track. Discover the new route from April 2nd 2016" It looks like the cred has been completely removed, meaning a new one is on it's way?
