Nemesis Inferno
2007 fright nights me and another old member of this forum who worked at the park, platforming Inferno 2 trains, 2 man team as short stagfed.....checked loaded and ready to dispatch waiting for the lift block clear for 2 hours no stacking took place, we basically worked the **** out of the queue, as we dispatched sonearly we had 30-45 seconds to get 1 person from each row to collect the bags rather than every person cramming the bag room etc.... it was great fun and a decent results ive never seen since! it just takes will and enthusiasm both with ride hosts and getting the riders on board for the challenge!

Park Count - 2018
Pluk, gullivers at under a year old ?? I think your starting a tad tame tbh. 1.2 meter high heels and onto nemesis they go ? No seriously though I'm in the same boat kiddie parks are gonna be a bit of a thing for a few years as I will have to get my little one into coasters tbh (my needs come third now apparently ? Baby, partner,me)

Park Count - 2018
Lets see thorpe once, alton once, chessington once. The lowest park count in like a century mainly as my partners pregnancy spanned the season and a little buddle of joy made it into the world in mid October to get her first onride picture on the gruffallo on the last day of the season ?

I remember working snow days at thorpe, stealth and nemesis inferno were the only coasters that could operate, now even they seem to be an issue in the cold

Slammer replacement?
Tbh anyone remember bling at bpb ? This would be a bad idea, thorpe has a respectable amount of flats, its towers that needs the flat’s investment tbh. I hope the whole area gets a major investment and is beborn keeping to the west/canada theme. maybe add a traditional saloon to the area serving food/ drink (smith and western operated anyone?). With a decent woody comparable to woodan/troy. Interacting with a good old fashion mine train (not a mack powered). The area has a decent footprint and potential, lets see what thorpe come up with. . . (Tbh it will likely be something boring and uninspiring)

Drayton Manor
I think surely it depends on what the issue is other X car coasters exist and still operate. So its not like its the last one..... tbh for a short coaster I quite liked it.

Park Operations
Europa park do have a system it just isnt very well used or known of, I know phantasialand are abit weird with disabilities full stop so we never even asked, (heard of numerous issues/horror stories). Portaventura also have a system in place and it is used alot more frequently than the other EU parks.

Minor crash on the EP Express this morning, thankfully no serious injurys. This occurred during shunting of an empty train https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/10593/Ongeluk-met-monorail-Europa-Park-treinen-botsen-op-elkaar.html- Fright Nights 2018 - General Discussion
Yes I know its ride area, however thats not to say it cant directly join a slightly wider room section without any gaps.- Annual Pass Price
To be honest, a fast track is a free win for merlin, it costs the company no money as a form of compensation. But ads to further problems. To be honest, a ticket to come back at park close for that ride (or equivalent announced ride) would be a more beneficial perk. As there is no knock on effect for other customers/operations.- 2018 General Discussion
Theres pictures of lots of steel beams around it so guess it maybe structual. - Phantasialand
