They were roaming actors that never seemed to be there. I visited Scarefest many times last year and I never saw them.

Busch Gardens Tampa have announced the full lineup for this year's Howl-O-Scream.

There have been a couple of notable animal births at the Orlando parks over the past few months. In May, Stella (a Bottlenose Dolphin) gave birth to a female calf at Discovery Cove. The calf has been named Lola! https://scontent.flhr2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/62465505_1016191527752569...

Hi I was just wondering what's the cheapest way to get tickets for the theme park for a couple of people who don't have annual passes but are joining us in the hotel, preferably a way that we can get the ticket beforehand so we can all go straight into ERT! We won't be going into the park until aft...

The new wooden coaster is rising quickly and has been topped off already! It uses a steel frame much like InvadR at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, although this ride is already far taller than InvadR. The current rumoured name is "Abyss". https://i.redd.it/grfyklkpcs631.jpg https://www.reddit...

A few updates since the last BGW post in 2017, -Curse of DarKastle has closed forever -Battle for Eire, VR simulator dark ride, opened in 2018 -Finnegan's Flyer, S&S Screamin Swing, opened in 2019 The park have today teased their 2020 Intamin multi launch coaster: https://mobile.twitter.com/Busc...

Did a park that has had its signature ride closed for days just ask to be memed by thousands of guests?

Am I understanding this right?

B&M have submitted a trademark application for the product name "SURF COASTER".

Can you use annual pass discount on them?

A teaser for the quadruple launch coaster coming next year!

I have a 16 minute Spinball extract on my phone, not the full 25 mins though. It's a recording I pulled from youtube a couple of years back.

Are there staggered openings at Thorpe these days? I know DBGT opens at 12:00 (supposedly :lol) but are there any others? Presumably Rapids open a bit later. Nope, with exception of Ghost Train opening at midday, everything else is scheduled to open at park open, and typically is. You may even find...

It seems on most days they've taken two hours off the morning and added an hour in the evening, so an hour less overall on the majority of days. Cutting hours just over a month after opening is unusual, even by Merlin's standards! I actually thought the Dungeon was great, better than I expected, but...

It's almost as if this could have been predicted:

I'll give it till the end of next year, maximum. Merlin never fail to astound me.

Turtle Reef, Riptide Rescue and Sea Swinger are now open! https://prnewswire2-a.akamaihd.net/p/1893751/sp/189375100/thumbnail/entry_id/0_vmj3fy2j/def_height/633/def_width/950/version/100012/type/1 From PR Newswire: "Ocean pollution, oil spills and habitat degradation are some of the biggest cha...

Anybody know what's going on with Enterprise? It's nearly May and it still hasn't opened, it usually takes a week or two to assemble this model of ride.

^My thoughts as well Morgan. Buttering the planners up for a big risky application in the next couple of years is certainly a possibility.

SeaWorld Orlando will be getting a new rollercoaster next year. Rumours point to a family thrill launch coaster with inversions, possibly manufactured by Premier Rides. (Although SeaWorld often work with Mack and Intamin as well.) It will be located in the area between Shamu Stadium and Bayside Stad...
