Just a thought. Could it be that the building that housed Asylum is set to be developed. After all people are commenting to say about markings on the trees of the Fungle Safari site. This building is adjacent to the back section of Fungle Safari so could be a possibility.

Haha. I remember several years ago them doing something similar on Vortex.

I don't think the music has been playing the last two or three weeks. It wasn't playing on July 8th when I went on a school trip and since then two of my friends have been on separate occasions saying it was silent at the entrance. Lasted long didn't it! But to be fair the track that played with the video would get highly irritating as it mostly consists of Quantum/thorpe theme which is a part I personally don't like, rather than the full much more pleasant sounding 10 minute entrance track.

I was hoping it was going to be coca cola freestyle!

It is probably that the 0 is stuck, therefore suggesting the wait time actually represents 30, 35, 45 and 75 minutes in the images shown in previous posts.

Went today with the school I work in. Was relatively quiet for a school day which was nice as we were expecting it to be busy. Some things about today: All rides except Stealth open. Saw that Storm Surge and Saw closed a couple of times for short periods of time Tidal Wave splash almost reaching the rocks on the grass area opposite which was rare. Guess the wind direction was in favour of the splash. No entrance Music. Silent at admissions.

They were batching people today whilst the ride was in operation. Once we got on it the ride was closed as it was noticed a metal fence panel had half come off. on the second to back row on the left side when looking from where the queue splits.

Following on from the Terra Mitica accident there has also been an accident on Ninja. http://abc7.com/news/magic-mountain-roller-coaster-accident-2-hospitalized/166567/

Think he is referring to the seat belts on the doors.

Still looks like not much has happened considering it has been shut since September.

Shock! Alton Towers have announced on their facebook page that they have extended their hours to 6:30pm this weekend. AT rarely do this!

I would imagine it is played as shown in the video as it is exactly the same in this video... Thats a shame as I was looking forward to hearing the whole track. Oh well still better than chart music

Ever since the entrance theme was used it always went into the quantum theme at the end of the main track. The quantum part was known as "thorpe theme".

Queue jumping was horrendous. Have to say Port Aventura was the worst experience of queuing out of every theme park visit I've ever had

The entrance track as well as others such as air, bubbleworks and Colossus was created by Ian Habgood. You can find out more at these two links: http://www.habgoodmusic.com/ http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep99/articles/readerzone.htm

Check the port aventura trip reports page for my report earlier in the season. Insanely busy although it was the first day of season. However the school I work in had a trip to spain two weekends ago and they visited Port Aventura on a sunday and most rides were walk on to 10 mins.

So I have a question. How does this work if say your time comes for swarm but you are only half way through a 30 minute queue for say rush as an example. Would you be expected to leave and go to Swarm?

Here is a video interviewing Jason Wills the parks marketing director about Angry Birds and the parks new family friendly approach.

Fantastic news. What is the future of the Noise, is that going to continue to be played in dome and beach areas or will those areas change too?

Just read this on thrill nations facebook page. Apparently meant to be from monday. Lets wait and see. Would be great to hear end of day music again as well but I guess one step at a time haha.

This shows the trains and depot in a much clearer way. All three trains still there and of course the very last (I think) remaining old school Thorpe Park logo. Skip to 2:05.

This is a top spin (smaller model) running insane!! Crazy! Was it this one you saw?

What is the reason for sometimes not having 4 adults being allowed in one car? Both my visits this year they haven't implemented that rule.

Wouldn't be surprised if they don't. This is the third season in a row that they still haven't fixed Saw's queueline audio!
