They will be available from Saturday, not pre-releasing them so i've heard. However, the 2007 brochure is available and can be viewed at the link below...

The quality is abit poor though.

Thanks, i've got a park brochure already too.

Do you think there will be a new map, or just the same with 5 new coloured circles to show the new rides, etc?

I hope it's a brand new look!

[Nathan]

Personally, i can see a whole new style of map arriving. They usually just place blue circles and name them for new rides but they can't keep doing that - which would suggest a new style map.

Also, they have never kept the park map hidden this long so something must be happening. I would think it is, the park are striving to improve apperance this year.

[evil cod]

that link in the post above yours has pictures of the new rides, new map will be coming asap!

[Shent]

Cool pictures, look like my local fun fair though

So is the map completely different this year, if so what is it like? Do you know when pics of it will be on the net?

[Nathan]

I can confirm the map is a whole new style of design, not the previous since around 2001.

I will post a link off it as soon as i get it sent and uploaded!

Also, quick note. I received word today that LWV has a great addition coming next year, hence the early signs, and it will surprise a lot of people. However, i don't know what the ride is but thats what i have been told by a very very realiable source. The park has numerous plans but of the same ride concept. The source said - 'it is as good if not better than the ultimate.'

Do you have an idea of what the new ride could be? Sounds good!

[NemmyLover]

Nice Map!
A big improvement, very nice indeed!
Could LWV be going for another record breaker? Longest or something. Ultimate ranks in my top 5 coasters in the uk! So what it may be a bit rough but its amazing with its roughness adds to the querky (sp?) ness of the ride

What is this park like for families?

I was looking on its website and it seemed to be very varied and a bit more family/young thrill seeker than Alton.

Cheers,

If you want more information, I hear they have a very good unofficial site, ehm I think the address is www.valleymania.co.uk.

Which I also hear is undergoing a rehaul very soon.

If you haven't been before you would probably like it, although the park seems to have been going down hill for a while. Rides from the nineties such as the Ultimate, Sewer Rat and the Wave are great, but I think it's lost it's way somewhat. The tragic accident on the Tree Tops Twister may have led to a decrease in attendance, but to be honest I think the main problem is poor management.

They do seem to have invested a reasonable ammount compared to that which American Adventure saw in its final years, however I do not believe money has always been spent particularly wisely.
