Pretty sad these days that a statement needs to be made to stop the adults recording themselves and uploading it to social media platforms.

Some initial observations from looking at that quickly.. So the total operating loss reduced from a loss of £132 million in 2024 to a loss of £58 million in 2025. Clearly an improvement but still a pretty significant loss. UK visitors were down by 1.2 million however some of that could be down...

Makes you wonder too as Chessington is getting a 50 million pound investment with Minecraft whilst Thorpe Park get a new picnic area and AT get a new kiddie coaster with nothing seemingly on the horizon (AT pun intended) Are they perhaps putting bigger investment into the park that they intend...

Yeah it's feeling like the late Tussauds era where they are gearing up for an eventual sale but going to bleed the parks dry of as much cash as possible beforehand.

If anyone remembers The Black Holes brake run that thing was brutal especially due to the seating.

Well he definitely took credit for Wickerman doing videos such as this https://youtu.be/BqqUQEL3kSY?si=t06qSgzEJJmfR1JW

Hmmm… There are so many rumours with hydraulic launches now, understandably after what happened to Kingda Ka and TTD. On the contrary though, Formula Rossa made an unexpected return after being SBNO for almost a year, Rita lives on after a problematic few months last season, the same can be...

That’s interesting he’s definitely a marmite character. I’d love to know more about your experience, I’m assuming he got way too big for his boots, in reality he was Temu John Wardley. I definitely lost a bit of respect for him when he tweeted that he was an artist waiting to reveal his work...

The artist John Burton has resigned/fired. I wonder what has gone on there. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV3TNK7Ec1g/?igsh=MXBmbjZlaHdpeWkzNg==

It looks great, was also my first ever inversions and so glad to see them back in their original colour.

Can’t say i’m surprised, last time I rode Rumba Rapids it was “please remain seated the ride” They even had staff members on deck chairs with a megaphone ready to shout at anyone who moved/stood up. I guess H&S eventually killed it. Look forward to seeing what replaces it in 2036!

That is so obviously made using AI 🤣 Still better than the new Thorpe park logo though.

That POV makes it look rough as hell. What has happened at B&M to go from buttery smooth coasters to Vekoma in the 90s.

It’s a fair point though, if you find crowds so difficult that it has been medically diagnosed as a condition and you know it will cause you to experience anxiety, panic attacks etc.. Why are you wilfully putting yourself into a situation where you’re going to be surrounded by many people and...

That’s the problem really, if the barometer is finding it difficult to stand in that awful Smiler queue for an hour or longer i’m sure 99% of the people in that queue needs the RAP as no one’s particularly enjoying it? The problem is the people in these situations that genuinely need the passes...

Live Nation bought it in 2023 and unfortunately Dreamland is now nothing more than an outdoor concert venue.

They are making more than enough money generated from all the concerts they are doing there these days to get this operational again. Saying it’s only the beginning of its life it’s just ended as a rollercoaster is a complete cop out, they just don’t want to spend the money to repair it. A real...
