thinking about it having come from the north it could be destined for france because, it might be cheaper to pay 2 haulege companys to get it from one place to pwh to another place, rather than having one company take it all the way to its new home

 This is a shame. Datman what is your source for it NOT being at PWH ? So maybe the mini kids drop tower is also not for us ???

The bosses were so impressed with the paint job on Thunderstruck they asked if we could do the same thing for their Enterprise ride.

So just to clear up the confusion, datman is correct, it is not for this park.

Thanks for clarification Laurence, is a shame though as we need more rides !!! It would have been an ideal filler ride !

To be fair, only 2 of them parks listed by datman are theme parks:

- Parc de Bagatelle (France),

- Aquarium de Saint Malo (France), Aquarium

- Parc des Mini Châteaux (France), Miniature Village

- Aquarium du Val de Loire (France), Aquarium AND Miniature village (what more would you want in life?!)

- Aquaparc du Bouverret (Switzerland), small Water Park

- Avonturenpark Hellendoorn (the Netherlands)

 So that leavea Bagatelle and Helldoom park. With Bagatelle rumoured to be getting the Inverted Boomerang, I'd guess its off to Holland.

I'm a bit disappointed in a way, as the idea of it had grown on me, but oh well, let the speculation continue....

(though thanks for clearing that up Laurence)

 Boo! As i've said i would have been well happy with the Enterprise. I know we have had one before, but they are brilliant filler rides. It could have been branded as "a return of a Pleasurewood classic". I wonder if any additional ride will firstly appear and if it does will it be a similar kind of thrill ride?

Thanks datman for that list, i didn't know there was so many parks (theme or otherwise) in the group.

^ It was mentioned many times that they were selling of 7 attractions. PWH, and the rest definitely were small fry compared to what they've kept hold of (Walibi's and Parc Asterix!). They probably had to sell all these to pay for that Invert!

I hope they make a better job of this than Loudoun did, as it looked awful up in Scotland, but I'd imagine it could actually look like a good quality family ride if themed well.

As for the mini tower, there's not much they can do that really! XD

Cant really tell to be honest. One thing though, Laurence said the station structure is new, but that roof part looks anything but new to me! XD

You can see the bit on the roof where that old sign used to be.
