Just surprised they haven't had any days of fully booked RAP yet.

Honestly, went over around 2 and it was walk on. Stayed at 5 minutes on app for most of the day after that. 
 
Overall, going again tomorrow however the lack of Sky Ride is telling for my poor friends arms having to push my wheelchair around. As much as I understand the complex engineering of it. It’s just not good enough from an accessible aspect anymore. 
 
It’s 2024, time to catch up. 

I'm going to ignore, crowd levels etc and go with disability friendly.
 
Least stressful
Disneyland Paris
Blackpool (this has apparently changed recently)
Flamingoland (Only stressful part was I forgot to take my walking stick so got painful)
 
Most stressful
Drayton Manor
Alton Towers
Chessington (Gets nerve wracking leaving a wheelchair/walking stick not close to ride platform)
 
Fire depths of hell
Thorpe Park
 
Never will I go to Thorpe Park again assuming that I can have an ounce of independance with just a stick and end up still standing in a queue for Colosuss for 30+ minutes just because I felt that I was good enough to do without a wheelchair. Which defeated the point of I am using the disability pass due to mobility not because I HAVE to be in a wheelchair the whole time. 
@Benin can confirm most these stories hopefully!

I better be invited. 
 
My plans will be whatever Benin has planned as he is my wheels. 

@Han30 honestly same with Det, I just can't in case it gets stuck. 
 
I'm proud to say coaster wise, basically been on no breakdowns, RNR at Paris was alright as the music kept playing. 
Water rides however, just don't go on one with me. Most my breakdowns have been water rides, lift hills, boats piling up and all that. 
 
Best flat was Rocky, 40+ rides in one day, get on one and it jerks forward and stops. We waited for the engineers and kept the ride host company. No point in trying to get on anything else, capacity day and 30+ heat so nah. 

Went for the first time in years, most of what you guys have covered I agree with. It's all just a bit run down and looks dirty.
 
The most shocking thing for me is not being able to stand for long periods of time and having to join the fastrack queue for Colossus and having to wait for 20 mins. I understand why they have changed the RAP to minimise waiting times for people who physically need to use it but basically saying to me that I need to physically be in a wheelchair to use it to the full is ridiculous. Plus a £50 deposit for a wheelchair is fantastic for people who can afford it. I won't be going back for a while, wanted a nice pain free day out and ended up pissed off and in a lot of pain. 
 
Might seem like a stupid thing to moan about but I use the RAP because I am unable to stand for long periods of time, I shouldn't have to rely on someone to wheel me around the park. 
 
Best part of the day was seeing a staff member shoot down another guest who was complaining that we got let up Infernos volcano first.

I was joking, I promise. I have a dry sense of humour and I find not everyone get it! Absolutely shout me if you are Reading way, I'll let you know when the best times to go anywhere, not even just pizzahut.
 
The thing with Crealy is that when you have small children then it's a great park for just that, families and creds really. 

They shouldn't. Just sayin'

Pics or it didn't happen.
 
I'm rather disappointed to hear that once again Loggers will be closed. Makes the excepctations go up for when it eventually re opens. 

Has a decent taste in music

From a marketing point of view, promoting that they've given one of their attractions a lick of paint is as good a technique as any and does work in creating a buzz. Although we agree that these are things the park should be doing anyway, there is nothing wrong with promoting it if it's going to make people talk about the park in a positive way. The general public (non-geeks) aren't generally going to see this kind of promotion as a cover up for not investing in major attractions, but as a positive improvement to the park. In fact, many people would consider this as even more positive than a new attraction, that AT are looking at the little aspects that many would forget, rather than just thinking about rides rides rides. Of course, this is not the case for geeks, but those who visit the park once a year or less and are not overly critical of the ride line-up would generally view the promotion of a fresh lick of paint as a great thing.  After all, a day at a theme park is about much more than rides. It's the whole experience, from food and drink to theming and aesthetics. 

Puppets. I am very much scared of puppets

This and others...

Trolling through all the things I've missed
Never fixed them at all! Just tweaked one or two

After remembering my password I can finally put my two cents in.
Firstly, those poor people, no one can imagine what they are going through and my greatest sympathies are with them.
Secondly, at my work I have had the greatest pleasure in getting to view the headlines everyday of the past few weeks. After the way it was made out in the paper I'm surprised it only lasted less than a week in the actual news, not online but paper, that being said, I think the Sun had a lot of wasted ink. The headline 'Towers of Terror' was a great loss to the world of ink. I am not in anyway shocked at the mail, sun or express for their portrayal of this incident. The times and telegraph should know better.
The sympathy for the victims in the papers was amazingly lacking. Well except the mail when they got the only exclusive interview. Now I am aware that the papers are positively cottage cheese but this time I'm not shocked at how they wrote the articles but I'm shocked at the lack of understanding and the lack of sympathy for those humans that had to go through was is and will be a very traumatic event.
Way to go UK papers once again you have proved why other countries have the view they do of us.

This is me

I've done stealth, the point of my post is the getting wet part not the rain being painful part. 
 
Just sayin'

Hey that is really good! I hope you get top marks. Having good grades is awesome and important =) I wish ya the best of luck with the piece

Inferno in the rain right. You would think it would be painful but the worst part is the water run off as you go up the lift hill from the row in front.
