    Most Overrated Park you've been to?

    Thorpe Park - All the fan boys fap over the place and quite honestly it’s just not that enjoyable lately. A lot of the guests have become intolerable and the place has seen better days. Europa Park - Honestly this place gets a lot of praise, and rightly so. I agree with a lot of it to an...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    The only real changes from consultation to planning was the changes to the pathing of the area as well as the scope of foliage etc. The coaster layout, area layout etc remained the same. If I recall, the additional flat rides moved location alongside the path layout. But the actual coaster...

    The people there have been told no photos. We’ll have to wait and see!

    There doing public consultations on the 9th, but I’ve been lead to believe they’ll only be allowing locals in and will be requiring proof of local address. I believe this is simply to stop the important process being flooded with vloggers looking to get the scoop first.

    I’ve had it stated to me a few times by people I’m friends with who are ‘in the know’. I’ve never had reason not to trust them. B&M Hyper coaster has been the main thing I’ve been told. But until we see those plans next Friday, we don’t know for sure. The whole 3 coaster deal is probably just...

    Have you tried lining up some of B&Ms other turnarounds? Such as those on Nitro, Fury and even Orion?

    Just remember, this is a large scale development. Chances are the paths that are currently there will be moved. There could even be more rides (flats) involved in the development. The current path around Old Town could realistically move to make way for the queue-line. As for the Thorpe GP...

    Yes, but a custom-designed layout wouldn't exactly require the same. We've established that the lift hill size could work where I plotted it assuming we were going to Shambhala height. The drop with a tighter apex and valley would also fit. Therefore the ride design could work and a hypercoaster...

    Edit: ^ Beat me to it. Correct, but you're also assuming the same trains. Shambhala is more spread out on the curves and valleys due to the longer trains. Making a slimmer ride with the Silver Star / Normal Hyper trains more realistic. The shorter train could easily run that layout.

    Now, this is just blue-sky thinking, so excuse the poor image, but something like this is perfectly plausible. I'd suggest the station area is on the Slammer site, lift hill up towards the back of Old Town, with a curved drop into a speed hill with a turnaround similar to that on Mako. Then a...

    Are we not including the slammer site as part of this development? They’d be foolish to have all the gear in and a project in place and to still leave that old pile of junk sitting there? The queue etc for Black Mirror could easily be rerouted for a season whilst they remove slammer and it’d...

    Zufari actually paid the price for opening in the same year as Smiler, with it receiving a budget cut due to issues with Smiler. Zufari did actually prove move successful in boosting park attendance however. With the park getting a 15% rise. Not sure how they’d do major things in the southern...

    As others have said, work is just progressing on clearing the site and putting some markings down. Work cannot officially commence until planning is granted. :)

    I think the Thorpe applications are being worked on at the moment, with a view to submitting them in 2022. I'm not sure SW9 is on the cards just yet. They may be thinking up ideas, but I think Nemesis works are more pressing. Yeah, 5 year plan of investment at Chessington.

    That video was interesting. I also believe there is a certain level of truth surrounding it, although I think the timings are likely wrong. Here's how I see things based on what I've seen and heard. 2022: Removal of Old Town. Relocation of the Timber Tug Boat and Lumber Jump rides to elsewhere...

    The World of David Walliams is coming to Alton Towers

    The ride system was planned for Madame Tussaud’s New York but couldn’t be installed due to structural issues I believe.

    Few weeks away yet. It’s being held up by objections to the ecological report. Shouldn’t be too long hopefully.

    I’d doubt that. Purely because of the amount of time that’ll be needed to clear Loggers. I’m still estimating 2024. Also, if it is a Hyper coaster as expected, chances are they’ll need more time to put it up and clear the area that it’s going to occupy. I’d wager planning early next year, for a...
