Don't forget that the Sanctuary scare-maze is also returning for the start of the season! News article from TowersStreet. :)

Apparently this is the Spanish equivalent of April Fool's Day, and this is a fansite's joke. :)

Re: Scenic Railway in Margate news It's also possible that they are fully within their rights to restore it, it's just that they haven't finalised the restoration plans yet, and don't want to do anything until they have. The worst situation to be in is having to knock down and start again bits...

Re: Scenic Railway in Margate news There was something in the December newsletter about them removing some Japanese Knotweed from underneath the Scenic. Can someone clarify the situation? Are they allowed to begin the full-scale rebuild of the Scenic or are they just allowed to 'tinker at the...

Re: Magic Kingdom | Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster | Unknow It looks dire. Utterly tedious. Even for families, this is very boring. What a disappointment.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1st Joey, interestingly, the 'Fun Faces' you posted are very similar to the entrance of Carnival of Screams for the last three years:

They've lost nearly all their members to TowersStreet, and their community is pretty much dead, so they're a bit desperate to rebuild it. They're only letting you see new SW7 photos if you sign-up, it's a bit desperate really. A better cycle?! I don't know about anyone else, but I find I've...

The TST team have much stronger links with park management than the TTF team, and the TST team are sure that this isn't a new ride, just a few replacement parts. I don't know where TTF got their information from, but it's 100% false. HUSS don't even make the ride anymore. Sent from my HTC One...

This is completely untrue. Enterprise is having some of its parts replaced, as the second half of a two part refurbishment taking place over the 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 closed seasons. It's not being replaced with a new Enterprise. TowersTimes is incorrect.

I like Nick Streak in general, but it's a shame they got rid of that little garden on the inside of the first turn. It's really pretty with the ride train looping round it, and that park needs some more greenery (though not at the expense of rides).

Bleh. I'm not a fanboy, but Knightmare is an excellent coaster, easily in my UK top ten. The 'psycho drop' is very intense, and the high-speed ground-level slaloming at the end is pretty damn wild. :)

Re: Lightwater Valley | Project Druppel - 2013 According to someone on Valley Mania, this is a (Valley Mania) website project, nothing to do with the park. :( Sent from my HTC One V using Tapatalk 2

It's not going to be a coaster really, it's going to be a dark ride using a rollercoaster ride system. :)

If what was said a few pages back was true, about them adding a Splash Battle next year, it'll most likely be a Mack. Two ride deal 2013 and 2014...?

It's a moderator on PBE, the official Pleasure Beach fansite, so I expect them to be reasonably 'in the know'. And actually, the PBE person confirmed that my source was correct. He confirmed that they were planning on removing the ride, but have since reversed that decision. If this is correct...

Apparently (according to a moderator on PBE) the decision to remove the Mouse was made, but has been reversed, and instead they're going to refurbish it with a new block braking system to improve the throughput. :D Disclosure: I was the one who sent the original rumour (which sounds like it was...

That isn't true. They just repainted the two existing trains in horrible and garish new designs. Apart from that, barely anything has changed on Shockwave from last year to this year. This 'refurb' that's been mentioned a few times didn't happen. The ride is still rotting away.

Presumably because every single park operator knows who B&M are, and the models they do. Unlike all the others, they only bring out a new model every few years, so it's a bit of a major event that everyone hears about. :) And their order books are probably full.

Re: "World's Largest Waterpark" for Newhaven Never, ever, ever going to happen. Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk 2

Both the top graph and bottom graph show that the biggest year for new coasters in the past two decades was 2000. I'm presuming this is because of many parks wanting to commemorate the millennium with a big project (Millennium Force, Boulder Dash, Millennium Coaster at Fantasy Island, though...
