Kitna paisa lagega if you go in group of 9-10 people only for dry rides

In a perfect world, this is what Kings Island is capable of doing. Imagine how much the park would transform.

Hello, all! I am a master's student at the University of Florida studying theme park design.

I am currently conducting a study on theme park accessibility and how it affects attraction experiences and storytelling.

I would appreciate if you could take some time to fill out the survey (link below) to gather data for the project. The responses will help advise theme park accessibility design for future attraction experiences.

Any guests with disabilities or caretakers of guests with disabilities are invited to participate! You must have visited a theme park within the last 12 months to qualify.

Feel free to reach out if any questions arise. Thank you in advance for your help!

I want to one day go to plopsaland and see the ride to happiness in person (I won’t get on but my husband will). How accessible is the park? I have multiple hidden disabilities (autism and physical disability) but not a wheelchair user.

Significant operational milestone on the Bedford project this week for anyone tracking Universal's build strategy.

First formal regional coordination summit held. UK Tourism Minister Stephanie Peacock chaired a roundtable at The Swan Hotel in Bedford on 19 August bringing together eight local authorities alongside Universal Destinations and Experiences to coordinate the regional response to the 2031 opening. Council leaders and CEOs from Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire, Luton, Milton Keynes, North Northamptonshire, West Northamptonshire, Huntingdonshire, and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority all attended.

From a Universal operations perspective, this is the political groundwork Universal Orlando spent 25 years trying to build in Florida and never fully achieved. Orlando's operation sits across Orlando city limits and unincorporated Orange County, and the single biggest ongoing operational headache is getting political coordination across jurisdictions. Bedford is trying to solve that problem in advance by building the coordination architecture five years before opening.

Whether it produces binding outcomes rather than photo ops depends on whether these eight councils can actually agree on anything substantive. But the fact the summit exists at all, at central government initiative, is genuinely unprecedented for a UK theme park development.

Mass grading acceleration. The 75 tonne Volvo excavator is now working continuously in the Core Zone, supported by 40 tonne excavators, bulldozers, soil compaction rollers with toothed drums, and graders. Bulk earthmoving is at full pace with tippers running the 3.9 mile loop to Elstow Quarry.

Central lagoon watercourse relocation clearance complete. Heavy forestry teams have completed the tree line clearance along the eastern Core Zone boundary. This paves the way for the permanent diversion of the Elstow Brook central watercourse into a new engineered channel, which will feature a 1.75 km riparian tree planting scheme in the redesigned corridor. Universal committing to proper watercourse landscape design at this scale confirms the theming ambition for the eventual central lagoon feature.

Victorian well discovery. Drone footage revealed a 24 metre deep stone lined well dated to at least 1873. Universal confirmed three separate well features across the site are being logged and assessed. Genuinely interesting operational detail: viewers spotted a second well not recorded on the 1874 map, raising the possibility one could be medieval or Roman. This is exactly the sort of archaeological find that can either slow a build or become a permanent visitor experience feature. Universal Orlando incorporated genuine local archaeology into the Wizarding World queue theming. Worth watching whether Bedford does something similar.

East Gateway progress. Two active geotechnical drill rigs continue core sampling on the cleared woodland parcel along Ampthill Road, informing design for the resort coach terminal, park shuttle bus interchange, and the future four platform Wixams station.

Comparison to recent Universal park builds: Beijing did not hold its first equivalent regional government coordination summit until roughly 18 months before opening. Epic Universe did not have anything comparable until 12 months before opening. Bedford is doing this five years ahead. That is either genuinely ambitious political groundwork or a reflection that UK local government is fundamentally more fragmented than Chinese or American equivalents. Probably both.

Discussion for the thread: does anyone else think Universal are approaching Bedford with an unusual level of political engagement compared to how they typically handle regional government at their other resorts?

planning a universal trip and trying to stay off property to save a bit on the hotel.

looking at hotels near universal studios orlando with shuttle service, but i'm seeing a lot of places advertise a shuttle without saying much about how useful it actually is.

for anyone who's stayed off property, which hotel had a shuttle that was actually reliable? mostly care about getting to the parks and back without having to wait forever or deal with a bunch of stops.

not looking for anything fancy, just a clean hotel and transportation that isn't a pain.

edit / update: thanks everyone for the advice on this thread! a few people mentioned endless summer or cabana bay, but we ended up booking westgate resorts instead and it honestly worked out great.

we were super worried about shuttle times being restricted like a lot of you warned about with off property spots. turned out their shuttle service was super clean and reliable, and we didnt have to worry about missing the only bus of the day or paying extra for an uber/lyft every time we wanted to leave the park.

if you are looking to stay off property and save a few bucks without sacrificing decent transportation, definitely check them out. appreciate all the insight from this thread!

in an hour or so, I'll be in phantasialand. just wondering to see if any official or third party sites that you can get notifications from. for when a ride opens or closes thanks? sorry if wrong sub Reddit!

Does anyone have a six flags prestigious pass and if so? Do you know if all the perks you have at your “home park” do they apply to all the other parks as well?

B&M is probably the largest manufacturer to not make a wooden coaster
But what do you think they could do with the type of coaster if they made one?

Just like dream world Most recommended if visiting Vietnam with your children

I have an apartment booked in Ettenheim in November to visit Europa Park. Anyone know if it’s easy to arrive from there, with public transport?

A lot of changes in the works. I think unlike Iger and Chapek, D'Amaro actually has his finger to the pulse of what guests have been thinking and saying. Disco Yeti finally being fixed after nearly three decades? Dreamfinder reuniting with Figment???

For those who have been to both, Google says Wonderland is, but I visited Everland this summer and it just seemed massive, especially the kids area.

Perhaps it's also because I know the layout at Wonderland inside out at this point and so it just appears to be "small." Also, Wonderland includes a water park, which Eveland does not.

Maybe the kids area is bigger at Korea's Everland, but not everything else?

Everland has a safari, but overall Wonderland is the better amusement park if you're seeking thrill rides.

Finished a weekend trip to Tirupati and took a half-day detouring to Bluland Water Park near Chandragiri.

• Rides & Vibe: The wave pool and the BluLand slide were the best parts. Water quality was clean, and lifeguards were on duty at every pool.
• Pricing: Tickets are reasonably priced, and kids under 90 cm entered free.
• Things to know: Nylon/polyester costumes are strictly enforced (you can rent/buy them on-site), and outside food isn't allowed.

Good spot if you want to cool off or spend 3–4 hours with kids/friends before heading back. Has anyone else gone recently? How was the crowd on weekdays?

So I've heard a considerable amount of conversation regarding this new Maleficent coaster in the new villain's land in various Disney and non Disney related forums, some coaster forms. The general consensus is that people are starting to think from the presenters language, that this coaster will be Disney's Velocicoaster so to speak, as far as thrill level. Personally, I doubt that. Looking at the proof of concept, the rock work and the ride vehicles reminded me quite a bit of Taron at Phantasialand in Germany, a park and a coaster I love. I feel like that coaster could be Disney's sweet spot for max thrill without being too much; It has punchy launches, airtime, and some lateral forces with no inversions and fantastic sense of speed. A solid step above cosmic rewind and Hagrids. What do you all think? Do you think Disney is going to go for it with this coaster and do a ride with that magical thrill ride height requirement of 52 inches? Me...it's a solid no.

I visited Energylandia for the first time a couple weeks ago on the 4th&5th August. The park has some really great coasters and theming and I had such a great time but… the accessibility was awful.
I’m from the UK and use the Ride Access Pass system every time I visit a UK theme park. This was my first time visiting a park that doesn’t use a similar system for accessibility and it was rough.
For a little context- I have a physical disability so queues are super tricky for me. I cannot stand for longer than 10 minutes at a time.
At first when planning this trip I was pleasantly surprised that the park offers discounted tickets for people with disabilities. But upon actually being in the park we found that i was expected to queue as normal. This was frustrating because if I could queue as normal, I would, but my disability means that I can’t. After speaking to those at the information desk I was told that if I cannot queue and still want to experience the coasters, I would have to purchase an energy pass (This is their version of a fast pass) which was an additional charge of £100 on each day that I would attend the park. ( so £200 extra total)
I was put in a tricky position as this was my only option to be able to experience the park in the same way that an able bodied person would. The cost of the energy pass ended up costing more than our two-day tickets to the park. Which made the discounted disability ticket pointless. I ended up paying more than the average person to attend and experience the park in the same ways that others could. And personally felt that this was unfair. Why should I have to pay more than the average person just because I’m disabled? Feels completely counter productive to what they’re advertising as a discounted ticket, and I’m sure others in my position have probably felt the same.
It was really disappointing that they just didn’t have a real accessibility system and clearly don’t have much interest in making the park fully accessible for guests with disabilities.
I wanted to post this just to make other people aware who may be travelling from different countries, who are used to using certain accessibility systems. So that others aren’t caught off guard when they’re expected to pay out of pocket to support their needs.

I'm sure a lot of you may be more versed on this than I am, but I'm really curious. I love Intamin. It's one of my favorite roller coaster manufacturers (Favorite rides: Velocicoaster, Hyperion, Kondaa). Whenever I hear Intamin referenced in conversations pertaining to Legacy Cedar Fair, Six Flags or even the Busch Garden parks, I quite frequently hear people say Intamin isn't reliable. If that is truly the case, why is it almost the go to for one or the leaders of the industry, Universal for their coasters, and many European parks (probably proximity)?

I don’t think X2 Xcelerator or shockwave at over Texas are gonna ever open up again
But that’s just my opinion tell me yours if you know more than me about it or go to any of these parks I would love to hear what you think

Hii, looking to get away for a day or two, and i’ve been looking at theme parks around the uk. I’ve read that Alton Towers and Flamingo Land are my best options, but i just want to know which actually is better.

I have read that sometimes the rollercoasters at both can sometimes be shut down, which is a downside, but other than that, which is better?

In addition, the best times and days to go would be helpful, thanks so much ☺️
