We turned up last year as we were in London for the day and got caught out by the need to pre-book tickets. As soon as we saw you had to pay, we turned round and went on our way. I get it, it got to the stage where they couldn't handle the numbers that would turn up particularly on evenings and...

Any excuse to go back to Seville is fine by me

Oh what I'd give to have that first ever ride experience on Shambala again.

I will remain cynical until I see the first rides going up.

You can only simulate reality so much though. There's no substitute for full-on running with guests onboard and seeing what that does to the various parts involved. It happens, it's unfortunate, maybe they could have done more testing but tbh it's impossible to know unless you know exactly...

In news that will absolutely devastate the UK enthusiast community, the floodplain that is Billing Aquadrome has finally been taken out of administration by some new owners and their first move has been to remove the long-standing funfair. It's not gone down well.

2024 and people are still arguing about whether a ride looks slow in testing. Some things never change.

Red Force, quite easily. Not really a fan of either mind. Stealth is just over a bit too quickly. Don't rate the launch, the only thing going for it is the hill. Red Force's launch just seems to chug and chug and chug and it feels like you're climbing for AGES (which you technically are), so...

Dangerous thread. I love London but I could never live or work there - it's bad enough when I have to travel in for the odd day here or there for work. If I can come and go in my own time then it's great but it's not close to being the best in Europe let alone the world. There's several...

Looks wrong.

Not at all - there's a reason it always comes out on top when it comes to surveys on most trusted news sources. Not just in the UK either, but around the world. It's one of our greatest sources of soft-power influence we have. Nobody is arguing the BBC is perfect but they are, quite literally...

Absolutely categorically not. Despite the top-down cronyism and Tory stooges being placed in positions of power, it's still the most reliable and trustworthy source of news in the UK. Couple that with the sports coverage which for things like womens football is vital to the growth of the game...

AI gone ****ed up. I'd make a joke about Thorpe Park being the wettest theme park but I'm in my 30's now and I'm far too old for such humour.

I have a suspicion that the vast majority of people STILL complaining about the lack of free entry were the type who either never went anyway, or if they did they would barely spend anything. And financially they're much better off catering to those who pay to go for the day than they are those...

I went Helix just because Balder wasn't there but tbh, the two have been interchangeable in my top two for years. I haven't ridden anything new for ages, and of those on the list, only Shambhala and Taron really get close. My top 10 tends to change regularly depending on what I rant to ride...

So you're saying there's a chance?

Proper blast from the past this sounds like. Please take lots of pictures.

WHO SAW THIS COMING!?!?? Genuinely surprised there hasn't been some money laundering investigations into this because some people have made a mint out of it.

Re-theme the monster as a Tarantula type spider - sounds good to me.

The cynic in me saw "Drayton Manor 5 year plan" and thought they could cover it with just a single sentence of "Don't go bust". Be really interesting to see what type of coaster they go with.
