Nope they never have done.

They are currently looking to employ somone who's job it is to Maintain the information on the LED boards - job is on the Merlin job site.

Not really - when I walked past it was advertising 45 and was provably closer to an hour - maybe they are trying to sell less?!

If there was to be lap bars on stealth I think you would get less air time as the hosts would pin you more than they do with its current restraints

It's a theme park ride, it's bound to be compared to other theme park rides though - the good bits aswell as the bad. Harry Potter was some of the best experiences I've ever done - the shed didn't bother me and when I'm on DBGT I doubt the red shed will either.

That pool was recently drained for a week or so and then refilled so I assume it's being worked on (hopefully)

That was quick - working now! Any ideas if they are working on the sound effect as the train goes through the tower?

The most visable part of the shed is next to X - I think there's a reason it's the same colour!

Redevelopment could mean knocking it down and reopening a new ride in a few years time..

Kellogs I think! Or booking online - works out about £1/2 more than 2 for 1 but saves you queueing!

No they have been removed.

Inferno no longer plays the IAC music and plays its own theme.

Honestly it's not a 1st April prank They were heading into the gates around the side - if I see any Intamin people again and can get a picture without looking too strange I will

No - sorry!

Saw some workmen with Intamin clothing on today heading into DBGT - that means severn-lamb, Simworx and Intamin have all been spotted around the attraction now!

Shame - would probably be much better!!

X never played the playlist in the station - it was silent. If you heard the music it would of been coming from the ride it's self.

Ive been to the park 5 times already this year and its been in use every time. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Thats simply not true. Ive used fastrack for Colossus and Inferno on numerous occasions over the past couple of years and both use their dedicated Fastrack queues and are staffed. Colossus one often switches between the entrance next to Slammer and the Main entrance mind.

Seems very hit and miss - certainly somone on our ride was told if they didn't want to wear it they couldn't ride. I thought it was terrible tbh - the headsets are heavy and pretty painful to wear, they are also blury and require focusing with some small wheel - I couldn't get mine in focus I either had blurred of very blurred. The headsets also rattle about the whole ride. The content started off well, leaving the station and going up the lift hill was effective, but after that I thought it made the ride feel shorter and wasn't very effective. Maybe with better hardware it could be improved but then these are just mobile phones in glasses. Couldn't beleve the throughput though - although I'm sure spinball staff are happy they are no longer on the lowest throughput coaster!!

The staff love it - as Nick said they are very enthusiastic - they know they are working in what's provably the best Merlin shop ever and are getting into it just as much as anyone! Definitely made me more excited for the ride!

No idea when it changed but you certainly didn't have a choice today.

They do know what they are talking about - you do have to wear the headset to ride, it states this at the entrance too. Somone in our row didn't want VR and were told they cannot ride.

In the grand scheme of things this isn't going to cause a dip in attendance - If anything the huge publicly this has gained them in the press will boost it, the amount of people it's upset will be relatively small in perspective.

Surely you still would have been angry if They had gone up at 10 exactly and you missed out despite trying for an hour?!
