    2013 Changes

    Staff are on a zero hour contract, when signing the contract there is a section (for those who read it) which states: on some occasions you will be required to work more than 48 hours a week to meet the needs of the company, by signing this contract you adhere to these requirements and subject yourself to long hours. (not word for word but it's similar to that. If you cannot adhere to the lengthier hours, before signing the contract you need to contact HR and discuss which may be refereed to your line manager Staff aren't paid overtime either, they have the standard rate even when they are working unsociable hours such as Fright Nights. Hope this helps

    To be fair, Saw didn't sell fastrack for the first 3 months. Maybe its a Gertslauer thing.... I swear one of the prizes on the app is '20% of smiler fastrack' ?

    I know it shouldn't bother me because the ride isn't finished, but that one screen out looks so bad, I hope it doesn't do this often throughout the season in years to come!

    Couldn't help but notice, just after the giggler/dancing people set when they have the coaster in the background, it's Saw The Ride.

    Something I have noticed with the below image is that it appears the first lift doesn't have any anti rollbacks, suggesting in the event of a shutdown it will just cascade slowly back down the lift?

    And as if by magic (after what seems a very lengthy wait) Smiler only has one more track piece to be installed. Credit to TowersTimes
  9. I thought it was 10? One for every year people decide Thorpe needs one...

    Wouldn't necessarily call it complete as the first lift and the two drops still aren't constructed
  11. Surprised no one has posted this yet!

    Ahh yes end of the world, a company distributing music to other attractions owned by the same company... That's like saying a J D Wetherspoon can't sell a drink because a Lloyds No. 1 sells it. (Both the same company if anyone is interested and fails to see ye relevancy.)
  13. What? The dispatch theme has never changed?
  14. No, my dad randomly came out and asked me whilst I was visiting him, and my stepdad also asked me and told mother
  15. Bring someone home and be like, this is *insert name here*, we are in a relationship.

    I'd sue for personal disfigurement. LOL

  18. Cannot believe I wasted 5 minutes of my life watching a video of Zufari ZuNothing.

    Whenever they arrive back from Vekoma it will be a day or two after that.
  20. It depends on the weather greatly, in hot temperatures the mist vaporises too quickly, in cold temperatures (not only does the pipe/mist nozzles freeze stopping the mist altogether) but the mist itself freezes, becomes heavier and will just fall to the floor.

    All smoke machines use the similar fluid which inevitably smell the same Thorpe would buy bulk for any smoke machine so yes they do smell the same

    The music isn't recognisable by shazam, but it's an up beat trance mix.

    Just to clarify I put that status up and I know I wrote 1 metre, so maybe specsavers is an option for you. Oh and just so you know, you can't edit status's so whatever is written can't be changed without deleting and retyping posts.
