@Howie - it looks like project horizon has been pushed back till 2026 or later. It look likes flat rides are the thing for the next couple of years from the speculation I’ve read.

BBC article mirroring the Sky News article from yesterday. (www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-68244830)

Great write up from a fab trip @Howie; although tiring – it was the perfect start to the year.

Sky News article published today.

I'm pleased it has the little swing launch in the middle with hopefully some form of effects in the building. Without this, it would feel rather short / it looks rather short.

Anyone who is naive to think this won’t be trimmed at various points to control the pace is just looking with blinkers on surly? A ride of this magnitude will have control measures throughout.

@Matt N - don’t raise / jump to the neediness or give attention to some things. It’s not your responsibility to go through every post and pick out on who said what first.

@Fluorineer - while I can see how it’s a slight inconvenience; but I’m sure there are reasons behind the changes and it’s not really any of our business to know the in’s and out’s of every change. It’s also worth noting, if you haven’t updated the app this week you can still see the queue times.

I also forgot to mention about the older gentleman asking us where the “lonely riders” queue was for Toutatis.

@Hixee – thank you for you for putting the trip report together and for letting me tag along; I had a fab time! @chainedbanana and @DelPiero - fab company gents. A couple of points from me. Wood express is pure joy… there needs to be a lot more these – I’m looking at you Chessington...

Probably just rumour which has never been proven to be correct nor incorrect. I’ve not been following this in detail, but I’ve never seen a proven reliable source confirming there was actually one commissioned for a park in Europe.

It's also worth noting each user can book a maximum of 6 places in the queue. So if you are attending on your own, you could only ride it once. However If you are there as a pair, you could potentially ride it twice as each person could book 2x place and so on to maximum group size of 6. So if...
