  1. Their plan for it is outlined here, a few route they can take with operating it and how theyre thinkign of funding it. The AGM presentation does have a lot of the answers your after. A concern of mine as well. There is still a lot more work to do inside the park to bring it up to the benchmark standard that they are comparing themselves against in the AGM, but management must seem to think the park is slowly nearing that level. Even them putting lipstick on a pig with the motocoaster situation...
  2. I can see the vision, seems like this one has a higher chance of something being made of it
  3. Parts of that has legs. The ride is getting new gondolas with new restraints. As for the lift motors/drop shortening I doubt it. Moving the motors to the base of the ride essentially doubles the amount of cable that needs to be inspected, and I believe the ride received a systems upgrade a few years back, although some 'upgrade' is most likely needed with the new gondolas.
  4. I think it's been closed off since with no guest access any more
  5. Potentially longer depending on what days White Christmas is on this year.
  6. New hours through till end of April next year Looks to be reduced hours most weekdays with October having full hours on Friday, Saturday and Sundays. Usual full hours over peak December/January, with the park opening at 9:30 but rides not until 10. Then February through April is the reduced hours.
  7. Comes from this guy, he has done a lot of work with village too
  8. People’s awareness of whether they have a pre-existing medical condition is often unknown. There have been several documented cases of people dying on roller coasters after experiencing a medical event associated with an underlying condition. It seems like that in most cases, the individual may not have been aware of the condition before riding, with the physical demands of the ride triggering their conditions. This is what I was more so gearing my response to but it doesn't fully come through as that. Sometime in the past 24 hours there was an incident that resulted in the injury of a rider on Batman Gotham City Escape at Parque Warner Madrid. I don't know too much about what happened but something happened (apparently more so park operations fault, but time will tell)
  9. I did, just found that headline to be typical news outlet 'slop'. I agree with @themagician and I find this to be very similar to the Stardust Racers incident, where there was an underlying medical condition. Obviously we don't know the full details but dissapointing regardless, I find Eejanaika to be exceptional albeit with a bit of a jostle.
  10. I believe there's strict internal policy that prohibits this most of the time. In 2007, it would now be roughly 16.3 million. New trains would be one of the biggest cost, probably looking around 1.5-3million each (shipping being a large cost). Somewhat confirmed that the current roof that the station has will be removed to allow for the track to be removed, assuming they use a crane.
  11. I was there on Tuesday and everything was as normal. Relatively broad statement to make because one ride had looser restrictions.
  12. I don't believe Intamins track gauge has changed. iSpeed is a similar coaster and uses LSMs. They can be retrofitted on, and I believe that LSMs are now powerful to be able to accelerate the train from a rolling launch. As @wikiverse said,
  13. Greg has said it will be fully taken apart ("we're gonna take the entire track down, remediate it completely repaint it, put it back up again")
