    WTF Merlin?

    This dynamic pricing creates a situation where those getting the worst experience (Long queues, over crowded park) pay the most whereas those getting the best experience (No/Short queues, quiet park) pay the least.

    WTF Merlin?

    The owner of theme parks including Alton Towers and Legoland is to make it more costly to visit on a sunny bank holiday than a rainy day midweek. Merlin Entertainments, which also runs the London Eye and Madam Tussauds, is introducing "dynamic pricing" so prices can respond faster to weather and...

    Lightwater Valley - Future?

    Considering its my nearest park, I managed to visit once. I managed 5 rides on t'ultimate on that visit before I couldn't take the pain anymore :) My first ride, stopped right at the top of the first lift hill and there we stayed for 20 mins enjoying the view, while ride staff worked out why...

    Lightwater Valley - Future?

    Gutted to see it go, but inevitable I guess with the change in focus. Article also says eagles claw didnt reopen after covid (but it did), its also still listed on the website but seems out of place amongst the other attractions.

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    Am i the only person that actually quite likes the name? Anyway, considering its built next to a coaster called Velocity you could argue it's on theme at least ;)

    Lightwater Valley - Future?

    I'm remaining hopeful as LWV is my nearest park. I think we should keep in mind that it was the previous owners that went down the non thrill family route, nothing to suggest yet (that I've seen) that pier group will follow that strategy going forward.

    I thought I was the only one that heard that every time I ride and wonder why no one else is laughing 🤣

    I'm really hoping this is just the first phase and the rest of the park will open up in the coming months. This and LWV are my local parks and so far neither are tempting me to return, even after over a year of themepark prohibition :(.

    Considering they have 2 trains but only ever run one (no matter how busy it is) to save on maintanence costs, I think its highly unlikely.

    I'd say it guaranteed that its being repainted. There was a condition attached to the planning decision

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    What tells you that? Considering the planning application and decision notice specify that the colour scheme is going to be black and silver and a condition has been imposed to require any change to the colour scheme to have written consent from the planning authority. As of today there is no...

    Considering its being sited next to a coaster called Velocity I'm not so sure that's not going to be its name.

    Planning permission was granted on 12th July. According to the planning app its to be called 'inversion'

    Isn't hero's reliability bad though. On my last visit it broke down repeatedly not managing more than 10 mins ruining at a time. By lunchtime they closed it for the day.
