    Six Flags to close 15 rides in the chain after 2020

    I prefer that option! Seems plausible too.

    Six Flags to close 15 rides in the chain after 2020

    No idea if it's legit or not but it's sad if so as it seems like log flumes and cable cars are always getting the chop these days and it's nice to have chill rides at parks as well as thrill rides. Classic Von Rolls skyride are almost getting rarer by the year. I've not been to SFOG but...

    Mopping up UK credits- Great Yarmouth, PWH, Oakwood, Brean, West Midlands and more

    It's time for the next instalment! This time you get to find out what fantastic 600th credit I get. Much excitement. So we'd finished at the zoo mid afternoon-ish and after having some food decided to head over to a fair at the shopping centre in Merry Hill down the road. Now; I could have...

    Fantasy Island (UK) | Spinning Racer | Maurer Spinning Coaster | 2021

    Mellors own Fantasy Island so it's their own ride. I was expecting it to go straight to Saudi Arabia like Teststrecke (which they also bought) but there were rumours it might come to the UK for a bit before doing so which were obviously correct. Good news! There's a chance it may appear at...

    Peppa Pig theme park at Legoland Florida | USA |2022

    Shots fired haha. Obviously saw it was a good IP. That's interesting though. The placement is really strange but the second gate does explain that. Surely it's not a large enough area to be a separate attraction?

    Herschend Buying Kentucky Kingdom

    Thanks @CanobieFan. Looks like Covid fallout then. I wonder how many more of these stories we'll see. I like how they snooped and checked the address! 😂 I haven't been to a Herschend park but they look well-kept (the big ones at least) and I thought Kentucky Kingdom was missing something...

    Why do smaller theme parks in the UK seem to struggle more than similarly sized equivalents abroad?

    Perhaps it's more related to decisions on how much of that profit is put back into new rides etc rather than how much is made? Drayton is also perhaps not a good comparison to Djurs as they have animals to feed and care for in the closed season which will no doubt be a considerable cost in...

    The decision doesn't seem to have been made yet.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Obviously just someone on twitter but coupled with this, the stats (pretty sure it's the only one that opened in 2000 (Edit: Apparently Terra Mitica's opened then but it only has 4 sides) and GD isn't that height) and what looks like a listing for pandemonium, the rumours of a demographic focus...

    Herschend Buying Kentucky Kingdom

    Yeah could be a slow lead-up like some parks do over more than one season.

    Herschend Buying Kentucky Kingdom

    "A new story" kind of suggests it could be a change of ownership but they then tweeted this. The obvious other thing is the rumoured RMC Raptor but I thought that was delayed/shelved.

    Mopping up UK credits- Great Yarmouth, PWH, Oakwood, Brean, West Midlands and more

    Now we have the next trip. The midlands! I had been wanting to get to Dudley Zoo for a while (read about 12 years), mostly for it's zoo history but it turned out that the zoo also has a +1. This sparked the formation of another trip plan and soon we were off on the road again! First up was...
