I know !!!

2 Intimidators in parks quite close together (In US Terms) both operated by the same group. Merlin (the 2nd largest operator in the world), and we get what looks essentially an Intamin mine train, disko and a fookin Pirate Ship !!! Something wrong with that isnt there.... Anyhoo, I am not going to go into a Merlin bashing post... Must stay calm.... :angel

A water version of the teacup ride at BPB-I kid you not.

Blombergs tomb of terror???? I thought that was at Flamingoland originally.

Top Buzz 2, as far as I can gather, is NOT confirmed for LWV. This comes from someone I know who speaks to Alex Crow.. It should be travelling as normal for most of the season.

Adventure Island...
The attraction going on the Mini Mega site is the Mini Mega, just on top of a new arcade building.
There will be something going on the old arcade site, which will probably be a temporary juvenile for this year to be replaced with a thrill ride of some sort next year, possibly later this year.

I'm glad to hear/read that TB2 will still travel. I was wondering what would have filled Notts Goose Top Scan slot have we've lost both Space Roller and TB2. It's significant because it's large ground that they're renting out.
