There must be an alternative to this... As I said over closed season stealth has had new railings and a wider walk way added and you can walk under the launch there as you wish, you can also queue under it where as I beleave at Rita if still has staff stopping you whilst a train is launching.. Very odd

Rita
Yeah I think it is, Stealth has had some slightly higher / wider railings added for this year so they can have this area open for guests

This. If anything it looks worse than it did before, Dont see why at Stealth they are able to solve the issue without any of this scaffolding.. I guess its cheaper than adding to the ride maybe?

ERT Swarm Photo Shoot Event 15th March 2013
Cant add much more than what has already been said. A big thanks to Peaj for his help in arranging all this, would of been impossible without him. Also a massive thanks to the park them selves, firstly for the opportunity for us to be part of the photo shoot, and secondly to the staff working on the ride entertaining us during the breaks with some * interesting* music choices!

The Swarm
Like they did on Saw? No real surprise if there is fastrack for back rows, hopefully it's abit more that £6. My bigger worry is in the station and how busy it gets, IMO they should only allow 2 trains of people In the station and send through 28 every time a trains sent to try control it

Park Music
People will be glad to know Stealth, Tidal and Saw had their music back after nothing on AP day. Lost City is playing its normal music, The Noise (thorpes chart radio station style thing) plays at admissions, dome and the beach

The Crash Pad
In this visual you can see there looks like plans for a small garden area, thorpe branding to be applied to the rooms..

Detonator
I rode it today and the speakers seemed to work properly the time I did (was in a seat facing rumba)

Samurai
Remember, today was a PREVIEW day, so issues like this can be ironed out for the new season

Closed Rides
Indeed all rides were open over the weekend with the exception of X. Some rides were abit temperamental as you would expect on a preview weekend but overall nice one
-
Stealth
Of course they wont, the idea of this weekend is a rehearsal for the main season so things are ironed out for main opening on Thursday
-
Nemesis Inferno
Yes they are, although sounds like they may need abit of a clean out!
-
Park Music
The chart music (being played at entrance / dome and lost city) is now called "The Noise" and is all professionally mixed together with Thorpe adverts in there etc sounds quite good, although I do wish it wasnt in Lost City.

The Crash Pad
Maybe we should wait till its finished till we start calling it the worse hotel ever etc, or is judging the finished product to much of a crazy idea nowadays?

Stealth
Seems stealth was having a few issues today, but big thumbs up to them for opening it for the last hour In blizzard like weather for the few guests who were still there. Very cold though!!

2013 Changes
All the buildings were stripped and repainted, look much better now. Colossus looks alot better too, the station looks the best it has for years and alot of the supports look cleaner. Inferno is great, the tunnel is like the old days with bright red lights and thick mist throughout the tunnel. Obviously loggers tunnel is disappointing but the rest of the park by far made up for it, the best it's looked in years.

Logger's Leap
It's one ride, I agree it's not great, but to judge the entire park on this is crazy with the amount of good what's been done across the rest of the park makes it not so bad for me. Budgets are not unlimited, the money they have had has been spent well, much better than spending it all on a new tunnel IMO.

Logger's Leap
Maybe they've not taken it all down so it's easier to rebuild in the future..?
