I’d love to see a sky flyer!
Would be perfect on the old playground near the drop tower

^ nah, that area could house something much bigger! And they should also be put where there's nothing else tall, just so they can look imposing.

Back on the subject of this farm yard, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with this covered seating area. If the outlet can then stay open all day, this could really make that bottom end of the park popular again.

Two questions, will the Roosters on Main St remain? And will that end of the park still open at midday?

Yeah true I guess it would be close to the drop tower
I think Roosters on Main Street will go
I hope that end of the park does open before 12 makes it more Lively

I doubt they'll open the lake end at 12, I think it'll open at the same time as the rest of the park now that there's actually things to do down there.

I think it will be open from the start of the day. It wouldn’t make sense to not considering it’s the big selling point of the season.

EGG-SPRESS CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Work is well underway to transform the former Rattlesnake coaster into Egg-spress. The park have confirmed that the station will be custom built to replicate a chicken coop and will even feature a giant 🐓 rooster on top, once completed. 

 

I can't wait to see the finished product as this looks to be a "proper" refurbishment!

Good news about the station being done up like that, just what i was hoping.. i do hope they do with with the tunnel as well.
Nah the hills need an Enterprise.. none of those modern flats it needs to go retro.. the park will stand out and be different to other similar parks.. other wise it'll just the same and i needs a unique selling point.

My cousin will be working at the hills over Easter when not at college, (think he said he'll doing Burgers)

if they're really making an effort with that end of the park they need to make sure the lake is in tip top shape, the playground is fill of things to do and those dodgems are unnecessary. Maybe they can bring back the Scrambled Egg ride as it a fitting theme (the twister, can't remember what they use to call theirs)

Well this has surpassed my expectations...

On a side note, does anyone think that one of those play areas that they have at Banham zoo/Heide park in Germany would fit down at that end of the park?

That photo shows enough for me to have faith that the lift tunnel will not be left as it is this time around.

And yeah I agree that we do need a really good play ground too. Something of substantial quality until the poor play grounds we currently have.

With this, Rootin Tootin, Waveswinger, Marble Madness, Safari and Ponies, PWH is starting to get its charm back.

I agree with Bubbles, I really would like to see the park have a unique style of retro-themed stuff, they do need something like that to help them stand out.

I just can't see there being that much interest in that beyond enthusiasts.

And non enthusiasts wont be any of the wiser, like me most people haven't a clue about ride and what's new or what's the current trend. Kids don't care because they don't know any different. But the Hills hasn't had a unique selling point since it was an American theme park. Since then its just been a meh theme park, Hobs Pit certainly helped to change that and going back to 4 coasters is a help but there's nothing that makes it stand out, in my opinion.

Anyway Ponies is awful, they never botherd to theme or landscape it properly.. it wouldn't be missed of it was sold off.

I'm surprised that the ponies isn't being moved into this Farmyard area as seems like it would be a good fit and add to that end of the park whilst freeing up a nice size plot for something new.

The ponies station area is really nice, actually looks like a block of stables - that sort of detail is what gives a park it's charm.

apart from that... the rest of it looks a bit naff.
When it was first added they said they would landscape it and make it look really great but they've never bothered to do it.

Do Larson sell those flying scooter things in Europe? If they did I could see one being  great fit down at that end considering that they do custom designs on the gondolas. You could have the gondolas be chickens or other farm animals to fit with the theme.

They would be a nice addition and could be well themed.. but i doubt the the hills would want one ad everyone would be Snapping and i doubt PWH would approve. but i guess they could just ban it and kick anyone out who does.

Is it dangerous?

^ I doubt it, otherwise they wouldn't be all over the parks in the USA!lol

Would be a nice classic attraction for PWH though.

 But they did ban kinder eggs so they've got their prioritise right.

I know not all ride operators allow it, some do.   i just can't see PWH allowing it, and rightly so. Looks dangerous.

I do wish they would post an update of the Snake, show us what it likes or what's going on, instead of rehashing the same chicken images over and over....

I can't believe it'll all be finished and open in 3 weeks.. fully themed.. inside and out, with tunnel, all painted up and looking amazing.. within the next 3 weeks? even harder to do in this weather.

I'm sure the park will be making opening this a priority, it is the one thing they've been hyping for the new season on Facebook.

Looks like the lake end will remain a 12 o’clock opening
