How malleable are the ops if you went and asked for setting 6?

Is an operational area that interesting?It's simply who works on what ride :|

What do you mean staff ride areas?

Potentially a few R&A host jobs will be coming up in the next few weeks/month but entirely unsure at the moment.Sales simply run the Xtra Adventures kiosks in Toytown (next to Trucks) and at Explorer Gate and sell Annual Passes, Zoo Experiences and Fastrack. They also do roamers who sell Fastrack.

I'll blow this conversation back open and back you up here - I've helped refit the ones on Dragon Falls when the springs and the like have broken and it is an anti rollback system - in the event that the main conveyor belt did snap. Yes the ride will stop more than safely but anti grip will rarely work well enough to hold a boat load of potentially 500kg from slipping down the hill - what if the belt snaps, as Pluk has pointed out?Whoever thinks that 'it's meant to be like that' is talking total cottage cheese - all the ones on Dragon Falls are working and click properly onto the boats! If one was broken, the ride wouldn't open!

I believe it reopened this morning - and it was a gearbox that blew up Peter, not a motor!

RR will be down until Monday at earliest - gearbox has exploded on right arm front motor.Broke down last night, scaffolded this morning for further investigations this afternoon. Good times!

I love peoples views on staff membersVamps PA was turned down due to noise complaints.Griffins PA and rest of LoTD is being split up over the winter as opposed to one big rack that it is at the moment.Tuks PA is loud. That's it really.

But if you just start doubling the rides - then it's just IRL RCT?!

Good work, in there quickly!

Electrical issue, may be some time.

You still pay the same price...

You hated it last time!

Considering the photography room and spinning gun room where totally gutted, they've done a pretty good job to clone it like that.Good work!

Strange place to stall though...?

Health and Safety legislation via the HSG175 states that you are allowed a maximum of one reride... And I believe it's only CWoAR that follows this law!Funny, eh.

Saying that rides are really complex is a load of bollocks - the rides are genuinely massive Meccano sets with generic parts - if they bothered to backstock parts then their availability would be a lot better.I understand parts can go that are exceptionally hard to source however parts don't just 'go'.

It'll ache more in the morning..

Hey B-RYONEEEEEEEE.This reminds me of Family Guy.

The building was used as a dump for everything that wasn't needed - it's been reported that there were bits of one of the trains' chassis lying all over the shop, old fastrack machines, old electronic pieces such as audio racks and the like lying there.Since then, the building has been tidied up (for obvious reasons) and it's simply a concrete floor with a maintenance shed in. The part of the 2007 queue line video included Professor X standing in front of the Programming Logic Controllers (large white metal boxes) in the maintenance shed in the ride area.

Getting into ride operating is very easy - apply for Ride Hosts jobs and if they think you're the right person and strong to lead a platforming team, then you'll be made up to that position.I've operated for 5 months before moving up to Team Leader - I operate occasionally but it really does depend what ride it is, and your work ethic - if you're enthusiastic, confident on the PA then you will absolutely love it!

The problem with Vampire operation is that you need to be seriously stern and so clinical about attending it - and if one person slips then the whole operation goes tits up and you have 10, 15, 20 second waits on lift 2.I know a lot of people here who have platformed or even operated understand this - and regularly having two platformers on three trains is better than four platformers on two trains.

The plaque is very small, but if any of you are lucky enough to work in Tomb, (lock off first) and take a look. The whole ride is full of history - a lot of old park memorabilia is in store cupboards in the middle of the ride.

If they did the street theatre it'd add so much to the theme, for example the pirate wondering about Mutiny Bay is awesome.Here's to hoping!
