We do have to remember there pendulum ride is called: 'Flip Flop' so I'm so surprised that this isnt called 'sandal'........They do have the most un imaginative names. Just look at there flying coaster Hero, there suspended coaster Zoom.......yes Sik is probably the new low though!!!!!!

It looks good and its definitely in the right direction for the park. I'd never expect world class themed rides and area, in a park that not long ago the only properly themed area was Thomas land. Although even Blackpool covered the base with flat artwork on a flashback, so something could be...

I never expected there to be themeing for this coaster to be fair. I'm sure with a grey colour scheme and a name like Inversion, it wouldn't be hard to fit into the 'Metropolis area' where themeing is minimal anyway. Hero has an entrance sign, and wooden hut/station clad in steel factory...

Does everyone not feel as if Thorpe Park have already been going down the amusement park route? Everything new added seems to have its own theme not related to the area it's in at all? Plus didn't they take the names of the themed areas off the park maps last year? Everything is so mish mash a...

You do also have to remember that Merlin entertainments are now a private company again. Which means they don't have to worry about minority shareholders any more and the current handful of shareholders can take more power on spending! I do believe that now that have gone private, more capital...

This ride is definitely something Merlin would do at one of there parks, the whole dark theme, this would fit Thorpe park so well!! I've Hurd Talk about this ride having an immersive pre show (screamscape)!?!? Plus could it actually be themed??? Like actual theming in a six flags park??? I'd...

I recon maybe 2023? Do you think they may have got one of those Zamperla ride package offers. Could they be a few small flat rides included too? A bit like what Dreamland did. One could wish 😍

This is amazing news!! I have a soft spot for the park from formally living in Southport myself and always visiting as a child! I knew something was going to happen that was big, the owner is so ambitious! He's made the park look really good. Some of the rides there are funfair rides, but they...

so from what screamscape has posted, the rumoured twister/scrambler has turned up in the land of David Walliams. it called Flavio's Fabulous Fandango which makes me think that it may be with us for longer than we think, as in possibly a permanent addition? Also the appreciation from these flat...

Also RMC coasters have there wheels on the inside! I think in a perfect world with an unlimited budget, the best thing that could be done would be a big one RMC conversion, now that would be epic!!!

Yes!!! I do think that out of anywhere in the UK that will get planning permission for a hyper/giga/strata coaster it would be the London resort due to the facts of taller structures nearby and on site! Hope if this does go ahead that we could maybe see tall coasters, if not for the opening...

I always thought that pleasurewood hills would suit pandemonium if Looping group ever decided to do a ride rotation, or for them to use pleasurewood as a Drayton scrap yard...just like what flamingo land did with pleasure Island.

Could it not be some sort of hyper/giga spinning coaster that inverts?!?! Add a launch maybe. Now that would be something!

I do think it will be removal of filler rides such as flat rides and kids rides, I really don't think we will see any major coasters removed, potentially SBNO but no removals for major rides. Maybe the removals of more log flumes that are past the 30 year old mark and maybe the removal of rides...

It looks so much like the English countryside!!........ One could wish!

Interesting news today coming from Southport Pleasureland on the addition of a brand new highly themed Viking mini golf and Viking themed pub with firepit and barbeque. Concept art in the article shows a highly themed experience, set to be built just outside the main park, on one of the parks...

Don't understand why there's not more of the standard Maurer spinners, they give a much better ride then the Zamperla and Reverchion spinning wild mouse's, and there no bigger than a Pinfari Zyklon, would be perfect for somewhere like Brighton pier or Blackpool pier. Dou you recon this could...

They did add one at there Milton Keynes park a few years back. It is a weird move as parks like Paulton's have opted for non inverting models. BUT! As there parks are aimed at the 2-13 market, these days 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 year olds want to go on major rides like Icon and Nemesis, so I'm...

Southport Pleasureland started doing it four years ago, I think they stated doing it in September, I'm guessing they were the first UK park to do it!

Most the set pieces from inside pirates adventure were auctioned off earlier this year so it would have too be re themed unfortunately. I think there is a high chance that the rapids will re open, but I bet they will be extensively re themed, given a new name and advertised as a new ride. sort...
