Only 10 people in our year took French this year. In Sociology there's 8. I realised today that a third of my lessons are all science. I have 8 Science lessons a week (mostly Physics). But that's probably my fault for taking Triple Science.

I found French in year 7 impossible .

Queue Times
They are, but I understand why Tidal Wave closes early really. Last year by about 6 it was absolutely freezing, and there was literally no one in the Tidal Wave queue and with good reason as well. It's just not worth keeping it open if it's too cold for guests to ride it anyway.

Well the second Saturday of FN is the 24th.. And the 16th is a Friday.EDIT: And at Peak Fright Nights it's busy. Very, very busy. Queues in the range of...Stealth, Colossus, Nemesis Inferno - 2/3 hoursAsylum, Hellgate - 3 hoursCurse, Se7en - 2 hours or so..Rush, Samurai - 2 hoursX:\NWO, Vortex - 90 minutesSlammer, Detonator - 60 minutesNo idea about Saw but I assume that's not exactly going to be quiet.. This is what it was on the second busiest day of Fright Nights last year.

Well I'd predict lower than that considering that those queue times are what we're getting on most weekends from the last few weeks. But then again it could be 3 hours for every ride, no one really knows for sure. But judging by patterns from the last few years then yes it should be pretty quiet.

I hate it when a guy and girl are friends and because of this everyone assumes it must mean something.

Exactly!Every single time a new skin is introduced everyone behaves in the exact same way, without actually giving it a chance. If everyone waited a week or two and got used to it, then they can decide whether they like it or not, and usually after a few weeks of settling in they do. I can back that up, as the old skin was apparently 'not as good as the previous one', but now that's gone everyone wants that back. It's all only because no one is completely familiar with it, I guarantee a lot of you will have a change of heart once you've all settled in.

Stealth
Well yes generally those are the only two reasons a ride could really be shut all day for.

I have no problems with speed at all, and I don't exactly use what you'd call an advanced web browser, it's just normal Internet Explorer.

Feedback of the Site
It's just something that everyone needs to take time to get used to, as with every new skin there's people complaining because 'they'd just gotten used to the old one'. I like it though, and I think the new '+' and '-' buttons are a good feature.

Alton Towers General Discussion
You're picking at technicalities when you understand exactly what we all mean, and annoying everyone because of it. You could have just posted your thoughts in the SW6 Topic, instead of randomly posting it in here and starting this confusion.

SAW: The Ride
Did you fail to notice that when you boarded the car, there was another infront of/behind you loading as well.. and that outside you can see about 3 different cars in different areas, and that cars go over the top of the tower every 30 seconds or so? :)Saw: The Ride has 8 cars in total.

SAW: The Ride
It did work quite well for guests, without there seemed to be 1 or 2 empty seats on every single car. I don't really understand what people mean when they say it wasn't designed for it, every time I was there it worked well from what I saw.

It's nothing to do with what kind of electronic board it is, they both run in the same way, just with different designs.

Normally I'd take into account what Ricky's saying before saying anything, but I honestly can't think of a single way that this new system is better than the old one. So all I'm going to say is Boo. Boo!

SAW: The Ride
There are already strobe lights indoors that go off when the shotgun is 'fired'.

SAW: The Ride
There is plenty they could do, but in a way if anyone who is a non-frequent visitor to the park notices that a piece of theming is there for Fright nights specially, it'l show Saw wasn't done as well as it could have been. They advertised it before it opened as being 'the scariest ride in the world', and in my opinion there just isn't enough to merit that. So if you say there's plenty they can do for Fright Nights with Saw, you're also saying there's more they could have done in the first place with Saw. And that's probably been Saw's biggest downside (that and the pretty shocking reliability ).
