SAW: The Ride
Yeah I noticed this yesterday when the SRQ was closed at about 4:30ish.At the end of the day on busier days the queue lines gonna be longer hence more people will join the SRQ making that longer so people will still be waiting a fair bit of time in the SRQ. I'm gonna be honest and did use the SRQ as a way to skip the normal queue, so its a shame in a way its gone, this will proberly encourage more people to buy fasstrack which ain't gonna help the normal queue .One thing that really did piss me off about some people in the SRQ and was completely unaceptable and thorpe should have been stricter was people who bail under the gate from the SRQ to the main queue in the station. This is completely unfair when people had been waiting over an hour to get on the ride and someone comes and cuts in front of them who'd been queueing for not nearly as long, the gates shouldv'e been made a lot harder to climb through It is good to see thorpe staff send them back when they've been noticed though. Still with 8 trains the normal queue should be moving a lot quicker.

Television
Is today meant to be last of auditions? About time they show all the auditions I've been waiting for, e.g. mother of act getting rude to simon cowell which seems to be in the "next time" every week but never actually there.

Saw- Construction Thread
Ok calm down mate^ :)I think the idea of Jigsaw saying that is nice, but then again there is the tv at the bottom of the exit, and tbh with you I think by the time everyone has come into the brakes they've had enough of the ride.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Well only the ride they work on

Slammer
Yeah I had an English paper on Alton Towers which was pretty much describing a brochure about Alton Towers and how it attracts guests. As I seemed to be the only coaster enthusiast in that class an Alton Towers convo didn't get very far.

SAW: The Ride

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Well it was pretty short for a while so that would be why. Even though from what I saw it didn't look much less than 20. And what school do you go to? Must be pretty local if you have time to go to Thorpe Park after.Yeah also went todayQueue times posted by TimR seem fairly accurate from what I saw, some of the queue times you said were longer than the actual ones but thats probs the queue time boards.Ride Count-Nemesis- 1Stealth-1X:No Way out-1Flying Fish-1Loggers Leap-1Rumba Rapids-1Rush-1Samurai-1Zodiac-1Quantum-1Erm... yeah I think that was it... can never be sure tbh

SAW: The Ride
I'm gonna have to agree with you :)Don't get me wrong I respect the fact Thorpe have definetely put a theme to this ride and everything, it just seems that after all thsoe videos we could have seen more of a story line behind this ride. But don't any one go having a go at me for saying that
-
SAW: The Ride
Well, I went on it at about 12:00 and queued about 35 mins...Saying that SR was walk on pretty much all day
-
SAW: The Ride
Lol it was longer than that, bout 30/40 for most the day. But still...30/40 mins seems to be an average Saw weekday queue tbh
-
Nemesis
Well there different. IMO without a doubt the nemesis music raises soo much more tension in the queue line than inferno does and fits perfectly with the ride!
-
SAW: The Ride
Not the people stuck in the normal queue line

Mr Monkey's Banana Ride
Its to do with a new tire apparently.
-
Restraints
Well they're both the same concept so both have the same types of bars. Just cause its higher doesn't mean its any unsafer with the lap bars!
-
Tips for travel
35 minutes isn't too bad. Well nothing seems bad after it took 30 mins to get from Thorpe to Staines station in the bus yesterday!!! Due to very bad traffic along staines road.

Tips for travel
Theres one for Thorpe Park so I wouldn't be suprised if theres 1 for Alton too.
-
Restraints
Ouch sounds painful, how the hell did you manage that though? LolTbh the main thing to do on Colossus is keep your head back againts the head rest! Most people have their heads suspended inbetween the bars which is why its so jolty.
