Fright Nights 2013
To be fair they wasn't ,but then they are very good at making sure fastrack queues are low. we queued from the door in smilers fastrack and they just let us all through till fastrack was clear. Good for fastrack people not so much for those in queue, especially on 3 trains!

Fright Nights 2013
Merlin* Thirteen was on 2 trains and advertised at 120 min queue, Smiler was running 3 trains with an advertised 110 min queue, could buy fastrack on both with no issue.

Alton Towers General Discussion
It had a good 20 min queue at around 6ish last night, it closed soon after though which is a shame as its pretty good at night!

The Smiler
Unless its the end of the day and theres no fastrack / staff are running it quickly, from the bottom of the steps yesterday was off in just under a hour. That said it was on 3 trains all morning and that must of been atleast a hour and half if not more.

Certainly not open today and it has wood under the pods supporting it.

TPM Crimbo Meet In London
They let in Merlin pass holders for free? Interesting! I expect they will lose a lot of their business now the Dungeons are no longer there!

Are Fright Nights a 'special event'
I'm pretty sure ive seen them say on twitter its not a special event, probably best to double check with them though!

MOS 9th November
The majority of the people will be going for the club night rather than the rides so I can't see it being that much of an issue.

Fright Nights 2013
Ha Theme parks and Sundays! Saw similar at towers, they had a hell of a lot more security than usual which was good but saw various people causing trouble in queue lines, a member of staff did approach one guest asking them to put out their cigarette but they just blew the smoke in their face, they did run away when security come in though. The worse part was at the arch ways to the towers, there was so many people there it was basically a crush and there was just 2 police stood there doing nothing to try and disperse the crowds a bit.

The Smiler
I'm not too sure on Saw now.. My last few rides have been quite smooth I'm beginning to wonder if its more a car thing. I dont think thats down to sinking as it was like that from day 1.

The Smiler
I dont think Saws had any problem like this to be fair, certainly not had work like this has needed throughout the season. I guess there will be alot more carried out over closed season too

I think it did reopen.. guess it went down again. Its ok though because all new rides do this... oh wait no they don't

CBeebies Land
I see no reason why it wont be good, for all the slack they get Merlin are able to do IP's reasonably well... Whilst not the most liked ride, Saw the ride, particularity the inside section is probably some of the best theming we have in the UK IMO

It's not really false advertising they don't need to remove every trace of a ride when it's closed.. Although I'm sure it will be bank open soon

Fright Nights 2013
I'd speak to the host at the entrance of the maze to be sure, but they do normally advise people with back issues not to go into these attractions
-
Fright Nights 2013
I think it opened late due to a technical issue, I guess will be back to normal on Friday.
