Because if you restrict profits they won't have any money to put back into the economy through higher wages and investment! /s Only bright spot in the day so far is that Priti Patel has gone, so at least we won't have to see her smug smirk next to headlines about sending "those" people back...

A man has a conscience, that thing had nothing but rage inside

Bonus points if the whole thing rotates too

Don't bore us, get to the chorus! I skip to the POV to see if it's worth watching the off-ride shots

It's the local authority that splits zone 3 down into 3a and 3b, you can find the maps here: http://maps.runnymede.gov.uk/website/maps/index.html# (A fact that took me far too long to figure out and even longer to find the maps :P ) Seems odd that the council has the authority to classify the...

I always thought it was because having the wheels on the outside required tighter tolerances? Or internal wheels allowed the looser tolerances woodies need?

It's weird that it doesn't have protectors on the rail-ends. Maybe this is for demo purposes?

I kinda wish it said "this is our house now" instead! Imagine a Madness-inspired, 21st version of 'Nights in white satin' in 'Ska-ry wood'. I could see a simple trackless re-fit, with it basically following the same layout until the final scene where the walls could be removed and some evil...

OMG, Merlin (Attractions Operations Limited) are being forced to close down and liquidate! /s I was presented with this article by the ALGORITHM and found it weird that merlin are in a debt dispute with Experian. Did they think someone had stolen their identity and they needed to check their...

B&M Motor-assisted 4D If I say it enough times, I'm bound to be right at some point

Just have the tilt be able to tilt forward or backwards! A fast switch at the bottom to connect both options to the same layout and bob's your mum's brother

The starflyer has mint views over the water and gives amazing perspectives of how everything is crammed into a quarter of pleasure beach. It's also nearly 400ft high and catches the wind every rotation, spinning the seats. 400ft up. We did it just to say we'd done it and don't have to ride it...

I adore the fact that the restraint type is the most interesting thing about the testing footage! It doesn't seem to do anything special, and what it does do will probably be irritatingly rattley within weeks

It's such a silly ride to see up close! The supports are just silly, the weird little cut-outs in walls and door frames for supports are silly, the downhill brakes are just silly! I would have loved to be a fly on the wall as the park pitched the idea to B&M :P The first drop has a really nice...

Having not had the time write a trip report, I have to say I agree with pretty much everything you said about Grona Lund! Although Jetline sits higher for us, including a fairy tale sunset ride to end the holiday :P We decided the only way to describe the theming, is that Grona Lund is themed...

Oh no. Another reason I have to go back to Stockholm. What horror. /s

Served a few people at work that were wearing Sik Silk stuff, and I get it now, they're 100% the park's target audience

I do like a good inversion, but they're not the deciding factor of how much I like a ride. I think the inversion has to make sense in the flow of the layout, otherwise it feels awkwardly tacked on just to say it goes upside down!

At least they've picked a name and aren't Flip-Flopping
