I find most enthusiasts in the UK are very easily pleased/excited. They see the bare minimum of maintanance being done and see it as some huge turning point. People were going mad saying how perfect Alton Towers was when Nemesis came back - meanwhile from the Nemesis Reborn queue you could see a...

It doesnt roll really though

It is interesting how Merlins construction stuff is done sometimes. A spray painted part like that isn't gonna hold up and will end up rusting in our climate. Needs to be powder coated. Same with the Nemesis Reborn queue where loads of the fencing was badly thought out, and some sections on...

Sort of but not totally. I loved and enjoyed the Surf coaster but my partner hated it and found it really uncomfortable.

As always I think Alton has the most potential. It's just such a stunning location and if they can add some more indoor dark rides/coasters and get it properly tidied up it'll be a great theme park again.

Wild Mouse at Blackpool definitely had that vibe. The Ultimate at Lightwater Valley always had me worrying how the hell it didn't derail.

That's annoying then! There was two of us at the back and probably 6 other people on the front of the train but the staff just kept the airgates open and wandered about for ages before deciding to close the airgates, put the rest of the restraints down and dispatch. That doesnt surprise me :(

Notice they don't show any proper photos showing the track.... thats because this thing is a right state

Visited Flamingo Land at the weekend and have to say it feels really neglected. Sik was walk on except they would lock you into the restraints and then you'd be sat there locked in for 10 minutes before enough people were on the train for them to send it.The rear couple air gates were not...

You weren't missing much. :D

Yeah I get the feeling you're right on that - although I think The Ultimate did a lot of good for the park, but probably not enough to counteract the cost of it! I think The Ultimate was initially a fairly cheap project that then escalated into a bit of a nightmare for them to get fully finished...

I get the vibe they'll end up moving everything down to one end and they'll make the Ultimate End more of a leisure place for the log cabins etc

Such a depressing sight. There was always something so special about The Ultimate. Everything about it was just different, and wierd. And that big wooden station that could hold 2 full trains is really cool.

I saw this Facebook page posted loads of photos and videos around the ride after it closed: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085685153586

I really miss that ride :( Such a crazy unique thing.

Sad to hear, I remember going to a few Valley Mania meet ups. The park felt like it had so much potential back then, to then kinda stagnate for all this time until the ride removals. I suppose that says it all about the GP - the park has removed so much over the last 5 years, and let a lot of...

Seen someones gone and had a nosey about and seen what it is: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1502923276957467&set=pcb.1502924733623988

Imagine complaining about someone else complaining. If you're going to add a cool effect why not do it properly. It looks great but just seems unfinished.

As usual Merlins amazing attention to detail and great planning. FFS Yeah it looks to be a great idea but not executed that well. Why don't all of them move? Why do they move like an 80's ghost train effect and not something made in 2024? Every tooth moving randomly would look amazing.
