I hope this is going to be open for Easter. I know that's not like Drayton, but the progress doesn't seem bad at all. Cartoon Network Street ey? Drayton Manor is quickly turning into land of the childrens TV. Good of them to snatch it up though with Blackpool playing hard with Nickleodeon...

Can't recall whether it had any imperial leather stuff around it but on Wednesday it was still very flumey. But I did comment on how fresh it looked, it did look like it had been painted. However, we very rarely bother riding it, but I doubt it would've looked that nice if it hadn't been...

Oh my God that's mental. Again, miracle nobody got hurt, etc. I was so shocked when the train pulled away! Riddiculous.

Nice trip report. This is a park that I haven't heard much about at all so it's really nice to read stuff about it. Do you have any more images, possibly of some of the nice themeing you were talking about?

This is a very terrible thing, second everything that has been said. Museums at theme parks are so cool, especially at amusement parks like Blackpool, but destroying some heritage to make room to savour it? Kind of ironic.

It was rumoured to have loads done to it over the offseason, but I'm pretty sure the rumours were nothing, because they said the ride would close on a particular date and it didn't and nobody's said anything about it since. So I was kinda taking the piss out of it. I agree though, that was...

I remember being very dissapointed with Stealth, thinking it's tall, it's fast, this has got to be awesome! It wasn't really. Port Aventura was a bit of a dissapointment, but it grew on me and by the time I left I really liked it, so that's good!

Well Roller Coaster looks nice being orange on the map ha! And Valhalla looks brand new! RUFURB!!!!!!111 The trains look cool too, but the old trains are on the map!!! Enough geeky observations, good call on the Bling though. I hope it goes somewhere good.

I thought the video looked crap too. If they put loads of effort into the scenary it could be really good. Near misses, interaction with water, could be a nice, neat family coaster. I like it. I wonder if it'll have the heart rate monitor things Blue Fire has?

Knowing the trend with coaster prototype names (such as X-Raptor becoming Raptor, Project Rita becoming Rita, Project Stealth becoming Project Stealth) this coaster will probably end up being called LC. Or 12. Take your pick. I'm doubtful the name has any relevance to the coaster, and I await...

^ Me to. That's a nice, decent height for a good wing-walker. I'll be suprised if it's any other coaster type.

Liuzzi's also been noted as a possible replacement. Click HERE. This SUCKS. The Renault looks pretty good this season and Kubica in a pretty good car would equal immense driving, so a real REAL shame. Look at Massa, he's never been the same since his incident in Hungary? Considering he...

So the stunts continue after the departure of Morwenna. I know everyone moans but I like these stories, gives me a little chuckle at a massive corporations desperate attempt to get people to talk about it. They are funny. At first I thought dark, hooded, adult characters loitering around...

When they're going up the climb hill it doesn't look THAT different since the rails are in the way. But, with regards to the image of the train on the brake run, it's just ncie to see some fresh looking trains on the thing. Is it still loosing it's Pepsi Max tag then? Ahh, from Facebook...

That was part of Mr Eisner's decision that every Disney Resort should have at least two parks wasn't it? Which worked tremendously well for Tokyo, but failed epically in Paris and California. On the Disney front, Mr Eisner was the fail of the decade. After so much initial promise the decade...

^ Oh cheers that sounds great! So that to CdG then the bus from there sounds perfect. Cheers guys, really appreciate your help again. I will make sure I do Zeus and Cesar John, try and get as much done as possible! That's if the French don't push in too much, we'll wait and see..

Yeah I see your point about those, the Eye especially slipped my mind. Thought they would've gone for a more 'vintage', almost Victorian look on it though and fit the Dungeons as opposed to it being very much a 'side' attraction.

How odd. It seems to be going for that very sterile, 'professional' look that BPB keeps aiming towards and Merlin has seemingly purposefully avoided prior to this. Very odd. I suppose, the top of the tower being white, since the attraction is what is outside it really is aiming to get you...

Some more specific news on opening dates, as from the Merlin Annual Pass page. That's for BOTH standard and premium as well, so not bad.

The McLaren is very odd! I think it looks awesome though. Apparently Renault are being suprisingly fast in testing, and with Kubica being a pretty sweet driver as he is, hopefully we'll see him getting some wins this year and stirring things up a bit more. Don't think the same came be said...
