True and im sure at least one or two off that list will be achieved. However none of the above are good for marketing to your average customer.

We all know Enigma is being fixed for next year.. possible a bigger job that first thought if their putting a roof over it.
I'm sure Hobs will improve, a couple of upgrades added why the ride is still hot stuff.
And talk of the death slide returning.
I think the drop tower will be themed.

Other than that I doubt anything else happening just a few improvements, a year or gardening and painting, and repairing.
But if the Full Enigma project gets the green light I think that alone would be the headline at next years season.

Apparently Fireball doesn't need fixing.. there's also the possibility of TTT being dumped if it keep messing up.


But the list of things that also need doing is endless.
Some rides need re-locating.
Snake in the Grass needs a make over, mainly the roof.
Tales of the coast is rotten, but we know this will be done.. apparently they have ideas.
Mini train need another carriage, i'm told it's getting smaller every year.
Plus the amount of 'dead' space in the park, opposite the lake, next to SITG, by the side of the Wave Breaker and I think theirs a spot next to TTT. If only money was no object !!! :P

But they're getting on with it, been amazed of the improvements over the past two years.
There's always going to be something that needs doing.

i think we all agree on here to disagree with fireball - we all know its not what it was no matter what we are told

I visited the park today and myself and Ben stood and watched an entire Fireball cycle together... I can confirm (having watched it really carefully from a good vantage point) that on at least a couple of the swings it DID swing higher than the 90 degree point.

 

Possibly not... I think the cycle they use, rather than a mechanical issue, is the reason. As it reached the over 90 degree point it began to slow before speeding up again.

^^ totally agree with Martyn on all of that post

Can we have one of these please!!!!!!!!!

Listen how many rollercoasters the theme park has!

 

True or TFTC

Some of the elements look quite nice, like going back over the top of the loop. I suppose to find out how good it is you have to ride it though.

I wonder !

Do you think PWH should keep developing bespoke designs like Hobs Pit or choose something off the shelf?

I agree that a nice quality theme park permanent model thrill flat would be nice. A screaming swing would be great IMO but the noise of them wouldn't go down too well!

I'm sure they could but there's a massive cost in it.

There are some great ideas on the table for next year. Some of them will definitely happen, others will depend on how many visitors we end up by year end. :)

Screaming Swings are immensely thrilling rides, they get up to speed very quickly but they use 2 massive pneumatic cylinders that make an incredibly loud whoosh type noise. Wouldn't go down too well with the neighbours. I've been on the one at Thorpe and I must say its one of my favourite flats.

I would assume a Zamperla would also be a reasonable cost when compared to some of the other makes out there. Air Race does look the part so it would excellent to see.
