There is an emergency meeting tomorrow where big changes are expected in the ownership and running of the park.
Could it even come to the point where they say enough is enough?

Read this today and thought it was interesting.

I was going to do a proper trip report but changed my mind as there has been loads as of late.
Anyway we went to the park with two people who had never been and were really looking forward to it. They could not wait and for the past 2 months we have all been excited.
Now the following...

Was thinking about this the other day.
What do you recon is the most known coaster in the world?
