Thorpe Park Trip Reports
As promised, a trip report and queue times,Ride queue times (at peak)SAW: 75minsColossus: 70minsNemesis Inferno: 75minsStealth: 45minsLoggers: 60minsSAW (single rider): Max of 15mins.Rush: 30minsSamurai: 40minsVortex: 15minsZodiac: 20minsX: 45minsSlammer: 15minsRide CountSAW: 6Stealth: 8 (2 at front)Colossus: 1Nemesis Inferno: 2Detonator: 2Samurai: 1Loggers: 1Slammer: 1Flying Fish: 1Time Voyagers: 1Vortex: 1Storm in a Teacup: 2Total: 27 rides.Highpoints.Flying phone on Stealth.Getting a high ride count.Some excellent staff members.Moto X Riders were great!LowpointsSome quite rude and unhelpful staff mebers, for example, when I was handing my bags in the man behind the counter gently threw the black wristband at me, I wasn't it expecting this and didn't catch it, and becuase the wrist band was black it was hard too see where it was, and the man was like "can't you catch?" anyway no other bad things to say today.Disgusting PointsWithin 20mins, two people had thrown up on SAW one of which I saw, and happend to be sitting next to me on the ride! luckily he didn't hurl untill we were off the ride. Excellent Staff MembersMy thanks are to James and Aimee, both really good fun, talking to us and just generally being really friendly, Aimee was at the drinks refill stand infron of the the Canada Creek toilets and James was controlling the queue on SAW e.g. letting single riders up the stairs, sending Fastrack up and sending the main queue up.Excellent day today, for everyone going tomorrow, you will be fine with queues, head to Stealth first though.

I recently installed this on my computer again, since I was realy low on memory I had to get rid of it but I have more memory now and I'm happy I have it back along with Soaked, I have made a pretty crazy body slide, I may upload on Youtube.

London Dungeons
How long does it take? becuase I was thinking of going up next year when I get my Merlin Pass and doing The Dungeons and Madame Tussauds in the same day.

SAW: The Ride
If they evacuate the queue then yes they should, but if they don't you could go to guest services if the ride consitently breaks down (over 5 times when your queuing) or if they don't give you and exit pass when the queue evacuates.

I think the longest I queued for Slammer was back in FN 2007 when we queued about 1hour.
