Disney milked Star Wars dry and left it with zero substance within 8 years. Unbelievable. Disney+ clearly accelerated this even further. Very disappointed with the direction they've gone in the movies and theme park experiences and quickly trying to make Star Wars seem like some elitist only...

I don't know what made me think Enso was gone after just 1 season. Maybe it was a rumour I heard or I dreamt it. VIP Enso: £25. 🙃 😂😂

Not opening today till 3pm on a 5pm closing day. 🙃

POV available here. Really neat little coaster. The switchtrack is a good idea. Might not be the best for throughput though as it seems pretty long for a boomerang. Edit: I'm wrong, the ride lasts almost the exact same time as an average Vekoma family boomerang.

Even an indoor Vekoma family boomerang would probably be better and scarier than DBGT and indeed an improvement. Or a Gerstlauer family boomerang (see the new Firle Franz ride in Bayern Park, pretty neat actually) I didn't think DBGT was the end of the world. It was interesting doing it as a...

Very sad to see that footage and photos. I'm glad I managed to get on it twice in 2019. I believe that was the last year of operation. Even then LWV looked sad and mostly a reflection of better days I guess. The Ultimate was a coaster I was always wondering about ever since the days I was...

I love many of the rides at AT. I hate the ridiculous 4pm closures, especially THERE because the park is so massive. Been twice on such days and getting around all coasters can be a challenge even when you know where everything is. The now £68 walk up charge seems OTT. I'd expect Disney /...

FWIW Theme Park WorldWide in his review also points out the Angel / hot ice part and that it totally does not fit. Also notes about the quiet audio during most of the ride. He doesn't like the soundtrack and says you can not hear it. But he does mention some positives with new theming but it...

I've seen half of Hot Ice once in 2019. It's good but quite adult themed with the costumes (or lack of) and the type of stuff you see. A very classic approach which probably has its audience but I don't think that audience comes to Blackpool. Not sure Pleasure Beach still does the free matinee...

Really weird the bad communication at BPB with regards to ride availability. Valhalla's refurb opening delay was blamed on Covid but now we are hearing that Big Dipper will not open till "later in the season / not this weekend", whilst the RCCGB club were going to have an ERS on it this coming...

Hey at least Impossible is open (according to queue times) Why is Icon closed? Also winds?

I'm surprised BPB opted for a refurb instead of a dismantle of Valhalla. Perhaps too much nostalgia and the whole getting endless awards every year clouded sane judgement here. Surely the ride costs an arm and leg to run and maintain even when we had "normal" electricity prices. At least half...

Surely you could say that about most movie rides? You are usually there living a moment of the spectacle and ideas, not there to observe the actual final outcome of all films. The original Star Tours ride even has the StarSpeeder 3000 you are in help to take out the Death Star! That wasn't in...

It's going quick but I doubt it will be done before August looking at these photos.

My updated list with Rise of Skywalker: 1. Star Wars 2. Return of The Jedi 3. Empire Strikes Back 4. The Rise of Skywalker 5. The Force Awakens 6. Rogue One 7. Revenge of The Sith 8. Phantom Menace 9. Attack of The Clones 10. The Last Jedi 11. Solo For me The Rise of Skywalker is the best of...

Probably for when rebel scum get inside or if some janitor who got promoted to Stormtrooper gets any ideas. ;)

Watched the ride through POV of Rise of the resistance and think it would be my favourite non coaster ride when/if I get a chance to ride it. Stunning. I've been incredibly disappointed with how Disney has tackled Star Wars. There were flashes of greatness in Force Awakens (mostly visually -...

Not been to Flamingo Land but I'd imagine this would rank as my favourite coaster there straight away. It's a toss up between that and Velocity. The others look too gimmicky for me to like or want to re-ride them I reckon. Hope they get a woodie after this if this does well for them.
