I'll throw my tuppence in.For a start - any visitor destination that wants to succeed needs to hire the right staff, and TP just don't do that. They hire staff that sit 4 or 5 in control boxes, not talking to any guests, not religiously height checking which they should be, they don't even make and attempt to look happy or interested in what they're doing. I mean come on - you're working in a theme park, somewhere that is meant to be exciting and trust me it is great great fun to work in the place, but the staff are all just miserable and don't seem like they could give two flying ones. They'd rather interact with each other instead of interacting with the guests.Other places around the such as infrastructure and rides are absolutely awesome; the place is clean, neatly done and kept well. Great stuff, hope it stays like that.Fastrack is oversold to a point where everyone loses out though. It's a big loser for TP, yes its a clear mandate to basically print money, but its at the point of where the fastrack queues are so long that they are defeating the object - skipping a queue.I don't really like the place personally as the guests are a bunch of ****s, but that doesn't haze my vision of the park in other ways,

To be fair he probably does know a lot more than he lets on.And you'd be surprised about drinking coffee.

But they also don't check restraints, or heights.Win some, lose some. Europa can't be compared to anything in this country - Health and Safety legislation takes the throughput away by preceding reasons, and Merlin rarely choose throughput megas like all of Europas' rides.

Looks like the people that dismantled worked jolly hard.- Opening Times
Park dies off about 5.30.If gate figure warrants it at 1pm, they'll extend it an hour to 7pm.- Stealth
The problem with fastback is that it is so close to the others systems within the park. I have regularly been working on a ride where you have three trains running, nearly 1000pph but there are so many people using the ride exit system either through exit passes or disability assistance, then you have a main queue of people and then on top of that a fastrack system. This is when you have issues and dilemmas. Do you stop letting main queue past merge point until the fastback queue is gone? Do you stop letting people into the fastrack queue and tell them to come back later? Do you stop onload side to fill trains full of exit riders?There is a bigger picture to all of this and I hope a company wide increase for cost of fastrack - it's turned into a service rather than a privilege.- Cjw
Rest in peace Colin - this shows how maybe many of us at such a young age take such a meaningful thing for granted.- Stealth

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha WOW.Post of the year Ricky, this is a totally different level of narrow mindedness - I totally agree with Astro.I think this prices going up is good - it's going to start pricing people out of buying fastrack, past the point of where it is value for money.And until then the park will continue to expand on already high revenues.- Closed Season
Both of you, this place isn't for direct insults.Be indirect and sarcastic but if you're going to be insulting directly, take it to private message.- Opening Times

I do it full time and I enjoy it.I enjoy what I do, who I work with, how we work together as a team, my progression from and above my current position and I've realised working with motivated people wears off on you. Yeah, it's minimum wage, yeah it's difficult sometimes but I enjoy it. If you enjoy something enough, money comes very low on the scale of importances!- Random
