It does seem to be pointing in that direction. So Pleasurewood Hills Resort it is then ;)

Hmm, many things are coming together here, but that still doesn't make them true. We'll have to wait and see really. Unless Laurence could let us know if the removal of the Chairlift rumour is true or not?

Oh, and the Dodgems should be binned, not relocated.

I am here taking lots of pictures and im also looking at the ride parts next to a very tatty fireball.... The kids mini drop tower is there AND it looks like the return of the star ship enterprise as next to the mini drop tower are the cars for a enterprise..... They are orange and yellow..... Pictures will follow.....

 Actually it should be Hills' wink

 

Is that a competition to name it?  Is there more written on that paper?

Also great news on the Enterprise.  About time they had one of them back.

I know alex, there is NO sign of the drop tower here at all.... Thunderstruck is now having the floor dismantled, pictures will follow, yet sadly nothing of our hopeful drop tower.....

 Were now waiting for the fireworks, some bad lighting in main square and poor speakers. Wipeout is lit as good as last year now that I can see it better as I had said earlier it was not lit very well.....and there is a mini sound system blaring out some music.... Very quiet though....more for you in my trip report over the next 24hours

Duh, Patrick! Really? Its a competition asking for the name of the new for 2011 attracion....The Laser Labyrinth.... biggrin

As for the Enterprise....I dont know. They're very dated attractions, and they shouldn't be bringing in stuff they've got rid of in the past... And also, ugh, ANOTHER travelling ride?!

Oh, one more thing, you do know that chances are this Enterprise is probably the one that was at the Hills before.... (A LOT of rides went from PWH to Loudoun).

I was just thinking that too... its quite likely that it is the exact same one. Will we be seeing the return of Troika next, i'm pretty sure that went there too!?

Oh yeah, I thought that piece of paper said 2012, or maybe I just thought it was 2010 right now!! I think the Enterprise is a good acquisition for the park, it may be quite dated and I know it's a travelling model (aren't all Enterprises?) but they are popular and it adds another great ride to the catalogue. OK so it's not ground breaking but well themed and a cool name it will be a nice addition to the park.

Loudoun also know how to make rides looks really rubbish!

Holy Cow Batman!

What on earth is going on at PWHs!

For such promising end of season gossip/rumours/new rides there seems to be some major confusion going on!

Im lost!

Well we are expecting one more new ride, and now an Enterprise has been spotted, so unless datman comes back with more info, I'm still going to presume its going ahead.

Now uploading pics to the trip report page....

Cant see why someone would pay for it to be shipped to PWH, store it there and then move it on to somewhere else... makes no sense at all....
