Thank you so much. I went from using the Go Pro which is great outdoors to an iPhone 16 Pro which is much much better indoors! So yeah big camera upgrade! 😀
It’s difficult to decipher what the park plans to to, with Toxicator being the only concrete upcoming development. Project Horizon and the new Cebeebies land coaster have been announced but aren’t very certain on the details, and we don’t know what will replace Blade or the Flavio twister ride. Galactica needs a re-theme, and Oblivion deserves a re-track (but hopefully that won’t be needed for a few more years), but the park’s biggest priority should be new flat rides.
Aye that’s the thing. The list of things we would all do with the place is massive and even if Merlin prioritised it, it would take years to get it all done. I just hope it gets some much needed love in the next few years. It’s sad to see it doing so badly 😔
A great video to start to the year mate 😊😁. I agree about the sky ride, it will be great to have that back cos the amount of walking that is currently needed is insane 😂🫣. Hopefully with Oblivion it will be re-tracked but with a longer and better layout if possible like Sheikra. That would be amazing, as you said, there seems to be space available to do it 😊😁
Love the idea of this kind of video espically in the next couple of months with parks closed. Would be intreasted in your take on drayton manor and how they are sticking to theres very close to theirs even in this close season
Yeah it’s a park you don’t hear much about. And I know Sean mentioned it sounded like they were going to do something with the old boat ride. Either refurb or at least reuse the show building. It’s a weird park, I do love the look and some of the rides (not don’t Gold Rush yet) but operations are terrible and they need 2 trains on things!
I hope it kinda is intamin at least one of the projects because everyone loves them but I don’t hold intamin high in my favourite manufacturers at all and I really want too. And yeah I hope they don’t drop the secret weapon code name, I even us it as an inside joke have a nod to it in my album code names, HASW as in Harlow aria secret weapon, it’s stupid😂 but fun xx
It seems the only thing that could fit in that space but surely if they were going to get a new one they wouldn’t have said anything unless it’ll be a few months or a year before it’s replaced. 🤷♂️
I refused to go to Alton late last year cos of the lack of sky ride and the awful operations last season. Went to porr aventura instead and had better ops and weather to boot.
@ last year Stevie wonder could have loaded the rides better at Alton. Port aventura is mixed bag operations wise I find. I had a good couple days for sure.
I can see an RMC wild moose in replacement of postman pat. It seems like the younger people love the RMC pre lift sections and it would be great marketing for the park.
I think the wild moose model is a bit of an eyesore, I can’t see towers going for one tbh, I think they’re more suited to amusement parks rather than theme parks
Is it just me or is the camera quality incredible?! Have you got an upgrade? Great work on the video as always!

Can't wait for Black Hole 2
🤣
I’m hoping Thorpe park will do something with the land behind the swarm and I hope they will make fearless valley bigger with another ride or two
Agreed!
Thank you so much for this....Happy New Year
You’re welcome my friend. And a Happy New Year to you too 😀

Interesting times ahead 😀
@ it certainly is mate 😊👍
@@benspeed2819 Problem with sky ride is on busier days you wait just as long for the ride as it would have taken to walk it 😂
I can see Oblivion being removed. Not sure it’s worth retracking unless they plan to extend the layout.
Agreed. It’s gotta be one of those options and I’m not sure which I’d prefer 🤷♂️

Great Video Chris, love your content 😊.
Thanks mate. Appreciate it 😀
Ill be 49 at the end of your 5 year possible. Still young enough to appreciate everything. I just really hope no more parks dissappear.
Aye same here!
Surprised you didn't mention anything about the Dungeons building. Return of Toyland Tours?
It does sound like they will do something with that building. I’m just not sure what? 🤔
I hope it kinda is intamin at least one of the projects because everyone loves them but I don’t hold intamin high in my favourite manufacturers at all and I really want too.
And yeah I hope they don’t drop the secret weapon code name, I even us it as an inside joke have a nod to it in my album code names, HASW as in Harlow aria secret weapon, it’s stupid😂 but fun xx
What if Xsector get completely closed and sealed off from Smiler onwards for a major overhaul and new theme area.
Interesting idea
Hopefully alton Towers❤ 3:21 will get a new pirate ship
It seems the only thing that could fit in that space but surely if they were going to get a new one they wouldn’t have said anything unless it’ll be a few months or a year before it’s replaced. 🤷♂️
Zierer, Gerstlauer, Zamperla and Vekoma are all well established manufacturers of family coasters too. None of these would be a surprise.
The main reason Towers won't get an RMC is because of how noisy the lift Hill is. You'd be able hear that from Uttoxeter. 😅
Sometimes I think the locals help the park come up with creative ideas and sometimes I think it just hinders the growth of the park 😔
Damn and k thought nothing foule her better about you but bam the picture quality gets obsurdley good

You were lucky. Portaventura is known for shocking operations. I was there last year and it was painful. Def better weather though 😉
@ last year Stevie wonder could have loaded the rides better at Alton. Port aventura is mixed bag operations wise I find. I had a good couple days for sure.
😂😂
i think you should make the history of drayton msnor sires
It’s on my list. Flamingoland first 😀
They have until June 2026 to start work on Horizon
Let’s hope they don’t waste the opportunity 🤞
Another enjoyable video, I have never heard of someone say a 10 year old ride is still quite new-what you been smoking??? 🚬😂
Ha ha. Compared to Nemesis or Big Dipper is still a kid 😂

Needs good public transport
Apparnetly it used to. That’s not really something they can control. I mean they can ask he council but they won’t be responsible for it themselves
