I think Thorpe should do something similar to sub species in 2016 where there are multiple rooms and being completely split up.

Probably attending, depends on my January rota

So fooking pissed right now.... On route to alton towers today m1 sitting in traffic and smash !!!!! Some people just shouldnt drive

Maze operations were very poor yesterday 4 actors from start to finishbon big top no chainsaw. Similar experience on my bloody valentine only 2 actors the start police section gone first actor was after the big squeeze. The swarm had the longest queue constantly stacking for between 1-2 minutes between trains, a staff memeber I overheard asking why another was so slow replied I'm doing it on purpose I dont wanna be on load so if I'm slow they will move me... Rubbed a nerve knowing the queue was over 2 hours long

X has its fair share of this issues with guests being stupid, the restraints I thought were poor for single riders when I first went on x forwards as you can fit through the gap

I would actually say the operations today were pretty good, and considering Saturday's awful visit its hard to think it's the same park

Spoiler : alert unable to add tag Done all the mazes today between 7 and now, its clear that every area of the big top is different the second tent was awsome vs last week first one is still weak

Seemed to be ok zero'd pretty quick

Just got off far from the worst cycle with lots of hang time n flips but by no means the best ride on a top scan

Its open

The outside section of big top has changed today

Samaurai is listed as opening at 3pm

S&s Have nothing to do with slammer anymore, I think thorpe own it

We dont know the issue slammer has at present, it could be it needs a part that is cheap but cant be sourced and fitted in time. in the bigger picture if its a major failure this could be the end of slammer

Ive heard a few rumors more of a puzle than a scare attraction

Tonight has been a write off we have experienced 5 maze shutdowns and only got on 2 mazes since 6 oclock with fast track . Colossus has been closed now from around 7pm, blair which main queue is over 3 hours speaking to the people next to me we have waited nearly 2 in fasttrack

Colossus has also closed tonight beliveve it has a track issue

Slammer seems to be closed today everytime I check queue times its closed

I dont know if there is an issue with the mobile site atm, when I change pages next/ previous it takes you to the first page of the thread, ive tried different browsers and it does the same. I'm having to change the page number in the url

I expect an extra block has been added to the system and the box houses a block reset switch. So in the event of a shutdown the blocks need to be reset by making someone attend the bat wing and enabling a resart by visually seeing the track is clear then enabling the block reset if a train is on a block you dont declare it clear. A typical coster like Colossus has a brake, station, lift and top of lift to breaks is a block. Obvously various coasters are more in depth like saw smiler ect.

Vortex we had noticed had become increasing shacky and jolty at points this year , dunno if the gears have finally given up ...

Never done anything major I think the best one was this august, Ankle strap snapped when skating downhill which sent me flying. Both arms scabbed up shoulders to wrists, and scabbed across the stomach ....

Its now looking more likely we will see the smiler re-open in 2015 . . Although its only news papers nick v has visited the victims and told them that it may reopen this year
