    One carriage trains aren't even carriages, it's like a bus on rails.Which according to TfL, is a tram.That's by the by though.

    It'd help his cause if he actually worked!He's being fixed at the moment I believe, probably be working next week or at least in time for half term.
  3. They have the interactive characters out every day around about 11am, either the runaway Osterich, or the runaway Gorilla.Off peak times, Spike and Cinders will be out in LoTD at 11.30am and 3.30pm. Regardless of wether they ride Sea Dragons or Playhouse.

    The reason that Griffins prerecords and a fair bit of Fury not working, is due to the fact the rack is in one rack and amp system.People are looking at splitting it up into 3 separate ones so that there is more space for things such as Fury Dispatch, and the station atmosphere loop. Sir Walter Squirtalot may also get some sound effects.Watch this space!

    Stop taking it personally Will.

    A billion rep to young Jordan - he raises a very valid point!

    LOL

    As in stopping the train, once to dead speed.Yes Peter, I know others use it but that doesn't mean stress doesn't occur. And think of the flipping pain if that train stopped dead with one set of brakes!

    The only thing I'd improve about work is common sense.That is all.

    I think James has a very fair point - the amount of the fricking time people run down the stairs either onto the platform, into the path of an oncoming train or across the track. Fortunately they've got the set apart exits now but it's not easy at all.The trains would be a lot faster if it didn't stop twice but think of the massive stress that would be put onto both the brake fins and the brake plates themselves. Massive problems would eminate!
  12. Gotta love having one main support beam.So when it shears off due to the epic stress, the WHOLE thing will come down.And don't give me that 'oh they've tested the design it'll be fine derp derp derp'You'd be surprised.

    You've all signed a media policy - can you refrain from posting such silly things.
  14. Good to hear you had a good day - Fury is affected badly by the weather unfortunately.And post your feedback to http://www.chessingtonfeedback.com - the feedback received is very useful!

    It's in a separate adjoining building - look at aerial photos on Google Maps and you'll see it.
  16. Kevin replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    It died (well if it didn't open I suppose it didn't die, just didn't start up) in the morning.
  17. Kevin replied to Sheepie's topic in UK Attractions
    Issues that would have lead to guest experience being damaged...Hence why it wasn't sold.Common sense.
  18. A good looking fangirl, I'm amazed!Maybe Ellie too.
  19. The park only does ERT for Hotel guests in Wild Asia; LoTD is opened (except Fury) for people in Explorer Gate.

    This - a thousand times this.
  21. Kevin replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    Rameses has a new setting!That is all.
  22. Kevin replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    My comment clearly upset Kabir!
  23. I'm genuinely interested - I've had a good read of this forum and I'm really sat here wanting to know what's actually wrong? The park has probably had the biggest investment I've personally ever seen if I'm quite honest - regardless of 'other things' that may affect my vision as others may think!The park really has had shedloads of non specific investment - the infrastructure of the park has been massively upgraded. I fully understand that wondering guest that goes by doesn't know that Buccaneer has new bearings to make sure the ride runs smoother than previously. Or the fact it's been painted majorly (not perfect though), or a new brand new electricity transformation upgrade to ensure that power cuts don't happen on a local stage and that the park runs efficiently power wise, or a proper heating system for Sea Life, or park signage taken out and new branded ones put in, or all park shutters now have paintings on them to advise guests where to go when shop is closed.It's not just physical - it's also things such as a brand new training scheme for all staff members on park, to ensure it is a much more rounded and appropriate approach to new and existing members of staff.All in all - I totally agree that yes it hasn't added to guest experience but such blinding amounts have been invested to make sure that the park does not fall on it's feet quite so easily.

    As confirmed on the CWoAR FB page - Mack's official response is that it's been changed for 'security' reasons.So there you have it gentlemens!

    As Dan said; it wasn't meant to a be a slated post.I was simply putting other peoples comments into perspective.
