I'll hold my hands up and say I probably bum Paultons a bit too much, I'm 20 mins away, its likely the first park I visited, my first cred, I've watched it grow from some gardens with a few animal exhibits to what we see today. There's a definite bias there. But I've critiqued Valguard and the...

A collection of thoughts after another great event held by Paultons, the fact that Paultons even holds these events for us enthusiasts is exactly why we favour them over the likes of Merlin and co. Paultons don’t need to let us all in for free, put on a buffet, give us all ERT on the best...

In fairness I dont think anyone here is suggesting that the 2026 addition by Cobra is a water coaster / Rocking boat. All water coaster discussion, as far as I'm aware, is regarding the 2027 go karts site.

I’m not overly convinced on a water coaster for the 2027 area. Surprised no one has mentioned a Mack Rocking Boat ride like the one at Futuroscope!

My immediate thought when i saw the first few footers was that they matched Juvelens - https://rcdb.com/11058.htm @Niles I like the diagram, good work! The more I look the more it confuses me, the big footer has to be the station surely? And the collection of footers in the helix of cobra...

I couldnt agree more with this. I'm a huge fan of LotR, but have my doubts about how well a land would work. In comparison to HP, it just doesn't have iconic areas such as Diagon Alley, Hogwarts or Hogsmeade. The Shire is about as close as you get, I've seen shouts for Rivendell, which would be...

I would hate it if they didnt include a Harry Potter land but I'd also semi understand it from a business perspective. Harry Potter is a huge draw for British and European tourists to the Orlando Parks, even more so with the new Ministry bit at Epic Universe. Are Universal concerned that having...

Damn, thats a bit ****.

Looks like this one is a good chunk bigger than Loke at Liseberg (89ft vs 139ft). Really enjoyed Loke so pleased with this. Not quite a new coaster level of excitement but i'll take it!

I was thinking about this a while back and I’ve had many conflicting thoughts. Firstly, entry price for universal is going to be the biggest factor and I’m really intrigued to see where they go with this. If it’s priced anything like their existing parks, Merlin and co shouldn’t be too bothered...

Looks surprisingly great! I do like the little bit of interaction as the train passes outside at 28 seconds

I know wild train was a cult classic and hard to replace but the park isn't messing around with this. Looks like a full on mini Voltron with a lot of extensive theming!

I’m assuming there’s no sign of any footers popping up in the water coaster area? I wonder if they could squeeze a swing launch like Star Trek at Movie Park in.

If they weren't now considered reliable within the industry I highly doubt Universal would be continuously working with them.

I’m fully on the gate hype. No sarcasm at all. Paultons could have easily designed this image with no horizontal supports on the gate, no one would have bat an eyelid. They could have designed the image to have wooden horizontal supports, again, no one would have bat an eyelid. They had complete...

Get out of here with this logic… Anyway, I’m pretty certain I remember Lawrence Mancey saying his favourite cred was Wodan at Europa at the super fans event. Slam dunk if you ask me.

Those wooden gates with the metal rails running through are absolutely screaming wooden coaster!

Weirdly excited by this. I made a thread a while ago about this place, I've always been confused why a city park, with good attendance, a great selection of supporting rides was reliant on a cronky old SLC as it staple attraction. I think I came to the conclusion the park was landlocked, had...

I think Paultons are going to really focus on rides that a family can experience together. I dont think they'd like the 1 row nature of single rails because of this. My predications are; Water Ride : a rapids ride similar to Dolina Jagi at Legandia or a small intamin modern log flume, ala...

I do wonder how much this has damaged Mack's reputation in the industry, It has to have had an impact.
