    WTF BPB?

    Shouldn’t have had to… Just announce a close date and run it normally until then. With this announcement they’re basically saying… “Oh yeh, it still runs, but we just aren’t going to run it again until x date, when you can pay a massive extra fee if you want to ride it.” I wouldn’t be against...

    WTF BPB?

    PR Team: "Amanda... The fans really want us to give them a chance to ride the classic rides one last time before we destroy them, they feel very strongly about it." Amanda: "Do they... Do they really... £££ Kerching £££"

    just 69 days to go until Glastonbury!!! (68 for me this year, since we've gone all posh and are taking a massive, luxury, motorhome... They encourage us to arrive on the Tuesday.)

    Universal considering UK theme park in Bedford

    The entrance area before Diagon Alley is London themed... You'd expect them to do the same in the UK. (I'm not buying any possibility of there not being a Harry Potter area btw... There simply has to be! They want to tap into London's tourists, a big percentage of London's tourists spend a...

    Kinex version.... Pretty impressive to be fair, although I'm sure it's stalling and rather than fix it he's just splicing different shots together... Either way though, great job!!!

    WTF BPB?

    Out of interest, what is BPB like on late night riding evenings nowadays. I haven't done one since the 90's, and the atmosphere was sketchy enough then. Does make me wonder what it's like now that Blackpool is the hen and stag capital of the North...

    tiktok is a little bit behind… Those diggers have been digging the archeological trenches for at least a week and possibly longer.

    There’s still the ‘splashdown’ trims which slow it down after the dive loop… No idea if they’re active yet or not. Can’t wait to see the lift hill at full speed, I wonder if that will also make a big difference.

    You've been here 19 years, you should know better than that... ;)🤣 But seriously, you're obviously right, all trims need to be calibrated for starters... Edited to add: I guess another thing we have to remember, especially those of us watching on video only, is just how big these elements...

    I've seen videos other than Shawns now... It was definitely Colossus I could hear in Shawn's live stream, @Berksfan was right. Hyperia sounds silky smooth. Shame about the outer bank (for those who prefer ejector to hang time of course, which obviously isn't everybody) I was kind of hoping that...

    Oh ok, it’s volume seemed to rise and fall as it got close and went further away… 🙈😂

    Wow it really does look slow!!! And what was with that rattling sound, shouldn’t sound like that on the general layout surely?

    Alton Towers or Europa Park; which coaster-heavy European park has a stronger coaster selection?

    Yeh it's definitely fun, but It didn't really hit for me as much as you guys, I think because I did Pégase Express for the first time the day before, which is leagues ahead of Pegasus in my opinion. I agree on Voltron... Fingers crossed. Are you not a fan of Silver Star?

    Iphone app is showing gusts drop to below 30mph from 11am in Staines, with average speeds of around 16mph... From 2:30 those gusts drop to just 25mph... 🤞 But that's the Iphone app, so it probably means there definitely won't be any testing tomorrow due to hurricanes and tornadoes. 🙈😂🤣 Today’s...

    That looks incredible, and will make all the difference to that turntable when / if they add it. 😍
