I laughed at the fact they put Charlie XCX as the headliner instead of Dua Lipa, let alone the shoddy photoshopping skills...

big news indeed! but welcome news regardless! The ride is getting on a bit now, i always thought due to its popularity the ride would never be removed but just retracked much like Hulk at islands of adventure.Coaster Chall wrote:Nemesis could get overhauled!

If any extra theming elements were added that would be a massive bonus. AND BRING BACK THE BLOOD WATERFALLS!

That’s usually the case, but COVID has got in the way and delayed all Merlin capex projects by varying timelines.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the public consultation news! Can we start speculating already? It seems like the right time for SW9. I'm sure it wont be a trackless dark ride as AT are already overhauling the Haunted House and although GG isnt trackless, it would be overkill imo. So my theory is that this is going to be part of the World of David Walliams, and the perfect fit would be a ride based on his SpaceBoy book. A cosmic rollercoaster adventure. Come on, we all miss the Black Hole!

I do hope that the project (whatever it is) gets green-lit. It's time for the park to start using space it had and not replace other attractions. I'd be welcome to seeing another rollercoaster in the dark, the black hole was always one of those entry level coasters i'd go on as a kid, which would build my confidence in tackling ones like nemesis and oblivion (this was a long time ago!)Javs wrote: ↑Fri Sep 09, 2022 3:36 am I'm surprised no one is talking about the public consultation news!
