    Slammer has been open all morning, no idea about Loggers though.

    Hmmm for the Flume I think you mean this...Clicky.
  3. James replied to humjosh's topic in General Discussion
    Thats the parkwide general loop. It plays Park Entrance, Pirates 4D, Vortex, Detonator, CCR All Aboard, The Flume, Rocky Express, Teacups, Colossus Station 2007, End of the Day (from 3mins to 7mins), Nemesis Inferno dispatch and Rumba. This plays in the Dome and will automatically play across the entire park if anything goes wrong with the sound system. It's a very long / large mp3 and isn't around unfortunatly.
  4. I don't see why you're taking it as an insult, the park is aimed at your age group so of course its gonna be filled with teens. They're obviously doing something right cos they're getting their target audience perfectly.

    You are correct in the fact that you will only really risk falling out if you are acting like an arse and standing up. If you are holding out (which you should really be) then you will be fine.The boats won't roll back down the lift hill because they have the little ratchets on the side of the drop which will catch it if the lift stops, the same way rollercoaster chain lifts have the little metal catches on the lifts. I hope that makes sense.As far as I know there have never been any incidents on Loggers Leap or any other Merlin log flume for that matter.Edit: Paul beat me to it!
  6. Hmm I don't think there are any around but here is a very early picture of Vampire instead.
  7. Go on MSN you sexy beast
  8. Well there is that, and also the reasons for stopping it on every other ride was because of the H&S risks like overcrowding which I believe was a big issue with Nemesis Inferno. If they wanted SRQ on Saw I believe they should have built a dedicated queueline or system for it, not do what they did.
  9. Sorry, that was aimed at the facepalm picture and the following posts, not your post
  10. Biggest.Overreaction.EVER
  11. Because its for people who are visiting the park on their own.
  12. James replied to MChappy's topic in UK Attractions
    Well each train has a different track for going to or from the park in its own character to match the theme of the train, the actual copies aren't up on the net but theres videos of each train on Youtube if that helps.
  13. James replied to a post in a topic in The Future
    No.
  14. James replied to a post in a topic in The Future
    Because its built on wet areas, surrounded by water and not sturdy enough for a woodies structure.
  15. James replied to a post in a topic in The Future
    I'm sure its already been said that because of Thorpe being surrounded by so much water the land is totally unsuitable for a woodie?
  16. I don't think it really matters to be honest, there is the stand to one side announcement but the slide is a much more fun way down
  17. Excellent move Thorpe, they're totally right - people were using it as a free form of Fastrack in groups rather than people visiting on their own and a lot of people on here are guilty of it. Why should I queue when people in groups can use the SRQ free and add extra time to my wait. Well done TP.

    Yeahh 'so and so said' isn't proof at all that anything is going to happen.
  19. James replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Some news about about the price of on-ride photos increasing at Alton has been posted on Towers Times. I do hope this isn't going to be the start of prices at Thorpe and Chessington being pushed up as well. On-ride photos are not worth £7.
  20. James replied to a post in a topic in The Future
    I'd like some written evidence of that really.
  21. They knew a long time before 13th October that it was going to be Saw XD
  22. Well you're totally right Iskander. What the hell did the video with the discovery of the box on the building site have to do with the ride? What was even in the box?
  23. James replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    Byee Professor X! :DOn another note, I HATE people. What part of STAND BACK FROM THE PLATFORM EDGE being repeated 3 times do people not understand?!
  24. James replied to a post in a topic in The Future
    Since when is the height ceiling being removed in 2016?
  25. James replied to Mardy's topic in Nonsense
    I love it when people quote posts that are over 2 years old XD
