    Universal UK theme park in Bedford

    Came to post that video... Didn't need to bother.. I agree, their videos are incredible, it was their video that forced the project to go public earlier than planned, such is the quality, and their videos on Epic were incredible too.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    And everyone lived!!! Shock!!! You guys make fun of OSHA... You should try living / doing business in the the UK / EU!!!! That being said, I do think letting you walk down a lift hill unaided is a little negligent. Somebody WILL fall on an evac one day, especially given the emotional state...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    🫨 I don't think that's typical here in the UK. I think you'd be harnessed where height is a factor. (Which to be fair, could be argued it isn't in the Mt Olympus video) But as a minimum you'd be accompanied, even where height isn't a factor. This I'm sure of from experience, but also, see...

    Best night rides...

    For me, a good night ride is a ride that's transformed simply by the darkness and late time of day (fully warmed up etc.) Whilst things like Taron, Zadra, Velocicoaster, Iron Gwazi etc are all great to ride at night, (and to be clear, they are great fun to ride at night,) they're all just so...

    Apparently cyclops derailed... Dunno why I used the term apparently, it's pretty conclusive, but you know... Allegedly and all that...

    Jack's kindly summed up the boat load of documents for those that can't be bothered to read them... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7QkH2uIAOo

    Universal UK theme park in Bedford

    This is in the transport section of the planning application under 'rail.' I would be very surprised if they added that to their documents on the whim of 'the mayor.' Surely if it's not possible, basing your whole transport strategy off a plan that includes this, and presenting that to the...

    They're going after Red Force's 112m (367ft) European record.... Who at PAW upset them?

    I thought this was impossible.... Direct Disney to Universal train 'could' be a thing!!!

    Universal UK theme park in Bedford

    I hated Disney's fireworks anyway, half arsed compared to big shows, and just unnecessary pollution. I'd much rather see a few 'big' fireworks productions than nightly shows.

    WTF Merlin?

    Makes sense to me... If I add up the value of my passes, then there are years I've spent less than £5 per visit. Passes are way too cheap, getting people through the door, who don't spend money, just serves to reduce the quality of the experience for everyone. Offer passes, sure, but they...
