Making the building less of a box would go a long way towards pleasing some of the objectors, some rounded edges, crenellations, etc. Just stuff to make it look more like it belongs there

How different is the tech between these and Escape from Gringott's? That seems to do everything that was promised with Mission Ferrari and not have significant downtime.

Are we sure there's actually more track in the building and they haven't just been pushing the car out the one opening and winching it back up each time?

A train from York to Stansted cost the same as flying from Leeds to Dublin, then Dublin to Stansted!

Yeah, but not this Brexit! The other Brexit! You know, the one with the millions of pounds for nurses and the sovereignty and stuff. I can see people feeding Mands what she wants to hear, rather than the actual truth.

The perfect chance to give it the branding it's always needed: Derek Acorah!

It took a lot of concentration to see the sky lion and not a massive clown! The only rational explanation I can think of for these being built, is that Merlin are looking at trapping the tweens market at legoland as well as the younger kids?

I thought it was because nobody wanted to fork out for the water treatment stuff needed by the EU on new water rides? If so, maybe we'll get a new one after next December if they go through with scrapping EU regulations

Shouldn't it be moved to ride deconstruction first?

Just noticed the flyer is using the vekoma method of going up the lift on your back and getting flipped on your front after! Something I've noticed about these manufacturers, is that they don't have the same creativity with their supporting as the bigger firms. I don't know if it's because of...

The park railway derailed, seems to be minor injuries but potentially >100 people on board (no visible injuries or screaming in the video) EDIT: Well, I say derailed but it looks like the wheels stayed put and the carriages just fell off the bogies?

The only good thing Thatcher did for Britain was speeding up punk's mainstream appeal. The sooner an election is called the better; we need a government with an actual mandate after all this to'ing and fro'ing. And ideally on the side of the people at the bottom of the ladder. Every...

It's ok to separate the art from the artist, but there are people that won't want to give the artist any money at all. I assume Rowling gets royalties from merch, and got a lump sum when the deal was done. On the other hand, you could still visit the parks and not buy anything potter related to...

The mods don't have much power as it is Matt, don't take this morsel of authority away from them too! /s RCDB does list Atlantica at EP, so I guess it comes down to how much "track" is involved in the hill after the launch Vs just a trough with upstops

There's a video floating round Reddit and I just don't understand how or why they were in the spot they were? The ride's actively running, it's right next to a walkway so you can see where the train is, there had to have been people shouting at them to not go on, and yet they did. Not to...

Yes, but the latest rumour is that they threw the gun over the fence near the ride, then went in via the metal detectors, and finally collected the gun when it was time for whatever stupid bull**** they had planned.

If it's entirely enclosed, will the application have any details of the ride proper or just the dimensions and appearance of the building?

Intrasys advertise their drives as being capable of top speeds just shy of TTD's old top speed, 180km/h vs 193km/h, alongside much higher accelerations of up to 100m/s vs TTD's 13(?)m/s. So a straight swap, with maybe a bit of an extension to the launch section proper, to LSMs could be feasible...

Does Pirates in Shanghai have lapbars? Maybe it's going to use the same tech, could make sense with whirlwinds and escaping and such

The thing that makes me question it is the 100 minute length, is that going to be long enough to properly enjoy your food? It's around 13 minutes a course, but what do they do if you haven't finished the previous course before it's time to move on? Do they just take your plate and give you a...
