8 followed by a closed bracket - aka ) - gives 😎. It's an old school way of doing the sunglasses emoji which our forum software still uses. As you note, your averages are across quite a small sample, which isn't the most reliable. But it still gives some useful insight. This is pretty good, especially considering you mentioned there was some guest faff. Again, given there was guest faff, that's not bad. With it's onload/offload platform, batching procedures and the way bag collection is dealt with, Stealth should be pretty consistent. Saw hasn't operated with 8 cars for a number of years, and likely won't ever again. 770 is pretty painful for its popularity, although really not all that surprising for what it is these days. This is going to be hit hard next year being near Exodus. I mean, this is painful, but sadly what we've come to expect from Colossus these days. I can't remember the last time it ever did well, but it simply just doesn't do well these days. Another one that will be hit hard next year. Christ knows what the park have done to Inferno. Quite a few years ago (well, I guess we're getting close to a decade now, but whatever), Inferno was a throughput machine. The 1000pph mark was standard. Nowadays, 700 mark is good. It's better than like 5 years ago, when 600 was good, but it's really a sad situation to see. This really highlights the need not so much for Exodus to be a throughput machine, but to be able to have a solidly high throughput which it can easily maintain for years to come.

I've just come across this old tread (from 2014) on theme park reviews forums looks like in science week, Chessington did some graphic info boards of its history - with some great photos and images of the park and old Ariel shots etc, that I've never seen before. Does anyone have any better/clearer images of these boards when Chessington did this? or know where the images came from (often Merlin steal from elsewhere lol). Its just I'd like to see these images better. or if anyone knows where these boards are? I'm sure maybe the park brought them out for other science weeks or nostalgia stuff in subsequent years? https://themeparkreview.com/forum/topic/39923-photo-tr-chessington-woa-24-03-14/
