I certainly did not pay for them at WW. I stood with you whilst the rich lot went on! 🤑 Like I say anyway it will be good for the younger audience, not me whether short or not.

Alton must be taking lessons from Europa in the 'cramming dark rides into small buildings' department lol

Yeah this has been happening for years; hell I remember not doing seatbelts up on empty seats on Vampire when working on it... Closed season really gets to some people I guess... This is something that happens worldwide...

The seatbelts serve 2 main purposes: Purpose 1 - In case of an evacuation, it gives greater control to staff. 'Please don't undo your safety belt', etc. Purpose 2 - A visual check for guests to know they're secure. As time has gone on, Purpose 2 has become more redundant as guests generally know they're safe. But 20-odd years ago, seeing a seat belt was a big thing. Purpose 1 only truly matters when there's people sat in the seat. Plenty of parks around the world don't bother doing seat belts on empty seats. And within Merlin, it's a ride-by-ride thing. This is not an example of H&S standard slipping. The only thing that's extremely shocking here is the amount of time you must have dedicated to try and find another crazy thing at Thorpe to complain about.

Looks at Maverick, then looks at Lightning Rod awkwardly...

Just good to see a new dark ride comming for TWODW and not just a walkthrough.
