    The World of David Walliams is coming to Alton Towers

    I mean who gets to say what's offensive - I'm gay and never found any of the gay stuff offensive in fact I found it hilarious, and I have black friends who've said the same about that aspect of of the show - the most offended people tend to be middle class white men who didn't really have...

    It's worth sending what you've just written to the park or cutting and pasting 'as is' on TripAdvisor!

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    I had exactly the same thought r.e. Conjuring 2 - I too thought its highly unlikely - but as someone pointed out on social media - this is Merlin and they've used the SAW franchise etc before, So who knows - on a personal level I love the conjuring franchise - so its an IP id get behind and if...

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    As long as its not too narrative driven - one reason I prefer the original haunted mansion to Phantom Manor is that the story is a bit more mysterious whilst PM over-eggs the back story so much it's actually more confusing that just a series of random spooky things happening in a haunted house...

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    I really don't think a trackless system is particularly needed having ridden 2 of Europes best ghost trains this year - Hotel psycho at Prater and Bla Taget at Grona Lund possible developments I'd like to see:- have the cars rotate and go backwards for sections like Hotel Psycho's ride...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    Thing with Paultons when I visited - I thought they were in the Cusp of becoming a proper theme park, they really need to scrap the go-carts and off-the-shelf log flume and pull together that end of the park and I think they'd be there! a custom log flume or rapids built with proper...

    What is your "home park" abroad?

    Toverland, Efteling and Europa are my 'at least once a year' parks that don't need any new creds to get me back.....I just need a fix of them, I feel 'at home' in them - I suppose in a similar way people return to same resort each year! As a non driver - Efteling is actually much easier to get...

    Britain and foreign languages

    English is an international language - So all the signage etc you see isn't just for British (and American) people - but because many people in the world have English as a second or third language - they can communicate between themselves using English as 2nd option! A good example of this is...

    Tokyo Disneyland | Space Mountain (rebuild) | Unknown | 2027?

    In terms of size/footprint or ride experience? if you mean ride experience they are poles-apart apart from the fact they use a trackless system!

    Tokyo Disneysea - Journey to the Centre of the Earth! Shanghai Disneyland - POTC Disneyland - Indy Moviepark Germany - Mystery River/Excalibur or Area 51 Posthumous mention to Chessington in the mid to late 90's when Rameses Revenge was a headlining flat!

    Tokyo Disneyland | Space Mountain (rebuild) | Unknown | 2027?

    I had assumed the expansion pad behind tokyo's tomorrowland would inevitably house a 'Galaxy's edge' star wars land - as it's about the right size, and makes sense right next to tomorrow land. I guess they could squeeze in both!

    Tokyo Disneyland | Space Mountain (rebuild) | Unknown | 2027?

    I agree that the concept art takes big cues from Shanghai's tomorrowland - which is only a good thing as I LOVE that aesthetic.. As for the ride experience I hope they take big inspiration from Space Fantasy at USJ - which even without all the effects on (I took my headset off on the VR overlay...

    Icon Park - Drop Tower Accident 24/03/2022

    So Sad - this is what I suspected - the restraint didn't open or break, it was just that it closed to a far to 'open' position for to rider. The mechinical 'error' if you were was that the dispatch light indicated that it was closed, or 'ok' to proceed! That along with human error of it not...
