    Boris Johnson had come out and massively u-turned on their promises here - remember the points based immigration system?! With Scotland I a mess, Ireland in a mess, France getting iffy on our boarder agreements and the markets in termoil it wouldn't surprise me if we never leave and Boris is setting the ground work for that. His column said: "I cannot stress too much that Britain is part of Europe, and always will be. "There will still be intense and intensifying European co-operation and partnership in a huge number of fields: the arts, the sciences, the universities, and on improving the environment. "EU citizens living in this country will have their rights fully protected, and the same goes for British citizens living in the EU. "British people will still be able to go and work in the EU; to live; to travel; to study; to buy homes and to settle down. As the German equivalent of the CBI - the BDI - has very sensibly reminded us, there will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market. "The only change - and it will not come in any great rush - is that the UK will extricate itself from the EU's extraordinary and opaque system of legislation: the vast and growing corpus of law enacted by a European Court of Justice from which there can be no appeal."
  3. I wouldn't assume that - Running a ride to 200 or so people is going to be very different to opening the ride up to 1000's - Timed tickets is still very plausible when this fully opens - it could simply be they didn't use timed tickets yesterday as they are confident the staff have enough experience with running the timed system from previous tests.

    I feel like we have totally blindly walked into this - it's frankly embarising I'm sure plenty of people are having a good old laugh at our expense. How on earth can Vote Leave have no plan? The below images sum it up nicely for me.
  5. Good spot - wouldn't surprise me assuming they can use this without people tripping up to much on the tracks!
  6. ^ this was scrapped - no idea the reason why!
  7. ^ Inferno has an automatic announcement like all other coasters telling you to hold tight and brace your self each dispatch
  8. I assume you've not ridden it recently - is now much clearer - will admit it's not as bassy in there when the train departs as it was back in 03 but the cannons are certainly on
  9. They are on and have been on for years.
  10. The park is getting busier now that school trips have started - they usually go home at 3/4pm though. The bad weather may put people off too!
  11. Who are we - as customers, to decide what priorities hotel guests should or should not get?!
  12. People didn't actually seem to bothered - attraction which was advertised as closed was closed

    Top 10's

    1. Shambarla - easy! 2. Furios Baco - yes it's rough, painful possibly deadly but that launch is the most incredible thing on a rollercoaster ever! 3. Manta - really shows what the flyers can do 4. Nemesis 5. Montu 6. The Swarm 7. Stealth 8. Colossus 9. Khan 10. Cheetah hunt
  14. Bin bags were being added in the queue line yesterday
  15. Cameras are not permitted on any of the rides at Thorpe - enforcing rules for H&S is not over reacting.
  16. ^If thats the case it dont mean its any worse / better under Merlins fund. Swarm had budget cuts in its first season reducing it down to 2 members of staff on the platform and disabling the middle dispatch buttons - deffo not seen that since!
  17. Im where this rumor of merlin running the new attractions come from? Pretty sure they are ran by Thorpe as soon as they are handed over but i could be wrong.
  18. I'm not too worried about them maintaining effects, they are pretty good at that now!
  19. Indeed let's not start arguing again - any further posts will be removed. The uniforms are nice and fit in with the theme - hopefully getting even closer!
  20. Err they are probably designed to fit in with the era which the ride is set in...
  21. Whilst i agree with Canada Creek and Rumba Rapids, the rest i'd say are hardly an issue..
