>What is this thread? Why are there two generals? /rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in. >Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread? Absolutely! Disney/Universal discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.
General Rules: 1. Talk about Theme Parks and Rollercoasters. 2. There is no second rule.

>>2886856 All the candidate countries had issues. England's weather and not really being a "Euro" location, Spain's economy being a bit less secure and fewer locals likely to prop it up, the French.
The prospect of either Universal or Disney being a short car journey from Dagenham was funny but they both saw in advance that the location was going to be greater-crested-newted. British theme parks can only ever be on the grounds of stately homes or quarries/clay pits.

>>2886889 It was making losses for 20 years and it pumped in $2b to fix the mess left by the investors. Of course it won't have paid for itself yet.
Seems to be printing money now though, imagine they'll announce a new hotel at D23
