Merlin's Capex cycle, Much like other Theme Park Operators, have a new investment every year.  Merlin's Capex cycle makes Towers probably due a small investment for 2019, This'll probably something like a Sea Life expansion or Cbeebies Land attraction coupled with something like a new F&B outlet...

If you smoke/vape outside designated smoking areas then you should be kicked out of Towers without a refund, in my opinion. Same goes for graffiti. 

 

I dunno if you've heard of this ride but the last ride I went on was a wooden roller coaster called 'Wicker Man' at some park called 'Alton Towers'.

Wow, that's an early announcement for Merlin! 

Also it looks like it will be based off the Lego Monster Fighters sets as I recognise the Mummy and Frankenstein's monster from the set.

I rode Wicker Man today. I thought it was really really good. I managed to get to rides on Wicker Man, one around lunchtime and one around 5:30 and can I say how well this coaster warms up by the end of the day as my second ride on it was breathtaking! The preshow wipes Hex and DBGT's preshows to th...

With spinning coasters, some people love them whilst others hate them.  In Creating My Own Nemesis, He talks about how MMM were looking at different types of ride variation for SW7. Mack's Extreme Spinner concept offers Big Dipper style trains (floorless) or Spinning trains. Something like a ride wh...

So it was Adam House who designed Wicker Man's layout.

Am I the only person who thinks it looks like the demon from DBGT but green and has teeth?

Looks old but does anyone know the meaning behind this?

Speaking of Oblivion, It turned 20 today!

Do you think anything big will be in the shed? I hope so, it will make the ride way better. The shed could look like its on fire! That would be cool what do you think? (Wait a minute i saw a video which revealed, that infact nothing is in the shed, you go into a dark room, then come back to the...

Going back to the rumour of Universal Studios London a while back, Apparently one of ThemeParX's guest made a comment two days ago saying... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/422144584819277826/422144673176354816/unknown.png Interesting that it was posted 2 days before this article... 

The Smiler will look pretty out of place with the brand image if the resort continue to invest in Wicker Man style attractions. 

I've love to see some sort of minor redesign like with Duel and Rita in the future. 

Out of interest, Can someone confirm if it has seatbelts or not?

I'm interested in finding out but so far I can't see any!

I swear Spinball Whizzer was under the family tab last year, As all there was on the thrill tab last year was enterprise and the big six.

The sudden TLC of Duel has got me thinking. Does this add evidence to a potential retheme of Gloomy Wood, or will it just be to please the growing number of people travelling down that path? If anything this has the opposite effect on GW, The refurb will continue Duel's life into the future. That i...

I've seen Wicker Man advertisements pop-up a few times now, I saw once when I went to Tussuads Blackpool and when I went to Asda as they are doing a deal with Alton Towers. Oh and the ITV news report. I wouldn't worry about the advertising yet, The marketing hasn't gone big budget mainstream yet. I'...
