Had this last week - was very fun, interaction from the actor was great good on ride picture too!

It won’t be official, If / when marketing see it it will be removed.

The budget for running LN will be a drop in the ocean for what it would take for Loggers to return (The only ride SBNO which has any chance at all or returning in some form) No idea on queues, when i went on Saturday late afternoon it was quiet but before that was advertised at an hour i think.

Saturday June 30th hours are now 10 till 10pm

It’s definitely been open this year - it’s probably safe to assume it’s just awaiting a part which may not be so obvious.

I’m not sure a few days will make much difference after months of testing surely? It’s probably more that your more used to it now? It very much sounds like it’s significantly better towards the end of the day rather than at the start. Am looking forward to trying it out soon!

Had a real great time at Thorpe last night - the idea of keeping the whole park open for everyone till 10pm again was great, MOS guests then got the coasters between 10 and 11pm although they may have closed early with the storms! Park was quiet, especially after the rain but, all rides stayed open till 10pm as promised and was a great evening!

If it was me I’d try swap Towers and Thorpe, towers open hours are likely to be 10-6 on both days where as if you can do thorpe on the Friday you’ll get 10:00 till 22:00. That said on a 10 till 6 day you should be fine to get all done, aim to get there for opening!

Unusually in the past coasters would be open for MOS guests only from 7 till 11 I think it was.

Being held back and sent through alone is nothing new - saw it happen a few times at Fright Nights last year!

Shame the swarm water effects were off again - they’ve been on the past couple weeks and been good, although thumbs up for the more frequent fire blasts!

Wow 3 years since a post! Quantums opened for the 2018 season now - all be it a little later than the rest!

Will be interesting to see what they do with Fright Nights this year to make sure it still has the appeal with the other bits happening over the year - it’s possibly why they opted to open Living Nightmare earlier on in the season, and having just Saw Alive open during Summer. On the subject of the imascore Fright Night track, Walking Dead The Ride plays an edited version now rather than the track being used at the entrance / dome.

The Fright Night track is also playing at the entrance / dome. Across the park announcements cut in at random times with references to the clues around the park.

When your walking down the corridors they are all marked area A to D I think, as you make way through you’ll hear announcements over the PA something like area b has been compromised, after that all the lights in “area b” switch off. It’s quite effective kostly if your at the back of the group looking behind you seeing the areas turn off behind you. That’s the changes being spoken about.

It should be open for May half term as usual!

Coasters stayed open till 6:30 today with how busy it was - pretty good atmosphere on park too, looking forward to the 10-10 in a couple weeks!

That’s a mistake - Quantum isn’t open today - being worked on all day though.

Really like the improvements over the past couple weeks - the queue line corridors are very well done with the lighting / sound, the station dispatch sequence with the lighting and sound is also very cool! Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!

Yep still closed unfortunately!

That said I’d be surprised if human error was possible whilst the rides in normal operation - from what was being said the ride was loaded in the station ready to go so not shut down or anything - very werid!

http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/05/new_cedar_point_ride_steel_ven.html There goes any slight chance of Thorpe getting one! Thankfully no one injured, sounds like some damage to the trains though and possibly the track.

Not seen anthong to suggest it will be an upcharge but who knows. As said - I guesss it’s a gesture of good will towards those who couldn’t ride it when it was closed for the last AP event, Hopefully they make it clear on the day so those non Ap people who want to ride can get on before it closes!

I thought there was theming in the tunnel ? Not a huge fan of what they’ve done to the dragon, I think the big tiger head over the drop looks great, the station also looks really good with the lighting / sound effects.

Over the last few closed days Swarm has seen some work, The Rear of the console has now had its painting finished, this should hopefully be abit more durable to guests than the stick on police style colors. The beams in the station have been painted to make it look abit better, hopefully just temporary till they can replace the wood in there properly. The water effects are also now working and back on again. Still a couple of little bits not working, the sound volume around the area is still pretty low and the bell tower sound effect still isnt working but hopefully this can be fixed soon!
