Closed Rides
It's worth letting people know, but I'm sure people are capable of checking the website. It becomes alot of hassle if we have to say every time a ride becomes un-available because, like today.. Nemesis has been back in operation as of 1pm. The new TPM may have a scroller on the homepage like we used too which will stop us from having to tell each other in this topic as to which rides are currently experiencing downtime.

Queue Times
Have never queued over 45mins except for Rita at Alton the first time I went on it, must have queued about 120 minutes in the highest temperatures of 2005, was painful but worth it for my first ride. Absolutely hate queueing, will do anything to find a way around it

Depth Charge
The ride area is actually pretty clean in my opinion, and the plants etc. all look fine to me. If you haven't rode it for a while, then you wouldn't know how the staff perform, the staff are very good on DepthCharge and have one of the hardest jobs in the park.

Alton Towers Trip Reports
The thing is, I dont think yours came out really great. Now I'm not too sure of the price, but I would never pay at least five pound to have about two slow motioned clips of me on each ride at a theme park. Theres about, in total a minutes worth of footage of you out of the whole of the yourday video, 29 minutes is just other footage of the rides. I think it's a poor idea, and knew it wouldn't be pulled off well.

News Desk
I'm not too sure as to how the park would find that one out if a staff member had park media on their phone to be honest, where did you hear that from by the way?

News Desk
I doubt many people will be able to answer your question if that is the case then, so it's pointless asking.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
If you're staff, no you're not.. then again, staff are not meant to be part of any social networking sites which have anything to do with the Merlin group either :DEdit : Oh yeah, ROFL [Mark's Signature]

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
A Ride Shutdown is a Ride Shutdown, no matter what the problem is, staff are directed not to pass on information as to why any ride has ceased operation. It's very easy for guests to blow things out of proportion.. for example, if you told a queueline of a ride that the ride is closed due to cleaning, some guests may not want to ride if somebody has been sick on the seats etc. I don't think Martin is in the wrong, the staff member shouldn't have told him the information in the first place.

I can't believe this, absolutely over the top excuse to shut down the ride in my opinion.

Chessington General Discussion
Today at Chessington was a Zoo only day due to the amount of snow, I believe it was worse at Chessington than it was at Thorpe, was still snowing at 11am this morning. The park will be open as usual from tomorrow (Unless we have crazy weather again)

Food Outlets
The outlets at Thorpe are so overpriced which is a right pain, would of been glass house by a country mile but haven't ate there for a while now so shall say the Calypso BBQ. I think it was last time I ate there when I got a nice chicken, was good compared to the same old Burger King that I get week in week out.

Feedback of the Site
Phill,The old site just graphically looked better and I found it alot easier to navigate, personal opinion would be to bring it back to that style, sure I'm not the only one that thinks it. Also, please try to avoid making every post look like it's some sort of formal letter, this is a casual forum.. talk to me like a member, not some sort of manager.ThanksJack Nicholas Dann
