I think I quoted enough information about the new owners in the first 3 paragraphs!

Mellors Group Amusements from Nottingham are to install the UK's tallest ride in London next to the London Eye.

I actually contacted the owners of Olympia Looping and the Olympic Committee about two years ago in relation to them bringing it to the Olympic Village.

The owners of the ride said it was no problem, the Olympic Committee didn't even bother replying.

Power Tower 2 for sure as they are partners in it somewhere along the line.

They need new fresh attractions this year, the same old stuff has been coming for the past few years now.

Having experienced many scare mazes and attractions around the UK and Europe, I have always expected to see the same thing, as most of these attractions are of a muchness these days. For example:- Chainsaws don't bother me anymore. But something seemed different about this particular attraction run ...

Tutuki Splash, Port Aventura.
