    I think it did last year, or one of the Rapids at the Merlin parks did. Not that it'd change much but it does get pretty dodgy seeing as it is a water ride.
  4. For Fury, it is block sectioned, if that's what you're asking?Starts with the station drive (each one a different block and can hold one car) - Drive 1/2/3 being directly after break run, Drive 4 is Transfer track, Drive 5 is station entrance, Drive 6/7/8 move cars along in station from bars release to bars lock, Drive 9 being Dispatch Drive, stopping and starting according to controls. Drive 10 being outside of the station and going to lift, then Lift 1/Drive 11.Block Section 1 between about 9/10ths of way up the lift, and Brake 1 (over Sea Dragons), Block Section 2 between Brake 1 and Brake 2 (over Canopy Capers), Block Section 3 being between Brake 2 and Brake 3 (Over Griffins Galleon), Block Section 3 being between Brake 3 and lower half of Lift 2, Block Section 4 being between top half of Lift 2 and Brake 4 (Over Toadies' Crazy Cars), and Block Section 5 between Brake 4 and Final Trim Run.Which does mean Fury can have two cars on a lift at the same time, if timed correctly!

    The two statements are totally different Peter. I said Playhouse is good fun, however how you string those two statements together makes no sense.

    Could always use a bucket full of water for it.

    Maybe I'm just a bit past finding theme parks amazing or maybe I've grown up a little, but price wise and staff wise, not a great park. Some of the rides are in my favourites but the park really isn't, I can't find how they use the magic to it's full potential and I've always found it's either heaving and no one is enjoying it or it's dead and there really is no atmosphere. There are some great rides but really only a handful such as Oblivion and Nemesis but after that, the rest of the rides are pure bred ****e; look at Spinball and RITA, both rough as heck, with one shaking like it's going out of fashion, and the other that cuts your neck to shreds.I agree that nothing in the UK can stand up to something such as Europa which is just breathtaking, however Alton isn't the best this country has got; I think Lego is the closest we've got to a european theme park, with it just jam packed solid of theming, landscaping and different areas in such a great location, however with Alton it may have 'x' family rides and 'x' thrill rides but with only 2 of them being decent, you can't say it's the best theme park in the country with such lacklustre theming and atmosphere, it is only an advanced version of Chessington.

    Good to see forum post quality is going up, drinks all around!
  14. 40 in each area, however average staffing for an 8k+ day was about 20 people in each area, being 4 areas. Some where full timers, some part time set dayers, some uni staff and some people just doing 5 days for example!

    You might have one friend but they might be amazing, it's quality not quantity, and trust me, until you accept that you are who you are, then you won't be able to move forward in life. As people who may know me, I always say keep confident and keep that chin high.

    Bottom of Lift 1 speaker, however it rarely plays. Plays along with some other very odd announcements however very Frazzle themed!
  17. Kevin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    And of course... 'Sit back, hold on tight, you're in for a fiery ride...' Bonus geek point to anyone who knows where this plays on Fury!

    Why has everyone become so scared of file sharing?!It hasn't been made 'more illegal' or anything.
  23. Kevin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    All units concerned, all units concerned... Tidal Wave is running closedown due to mechanical error code.....
  24. Kevin replied to Theme Park bloke's topic in The Real World
    Control... out
  25. If you'd like to try any of the other perfectly good but a bit differently run OS's out there and come back when we've stopped causing Illegal Operations!
