Nemesis Inferno
Some of the queues may look long but not actually take long to queue, for example nemesis queue line moves quickly. Anyway at the end of the day you may as well queue something

Any of you been looking out the window in the last week? Blue skies! England is perfectly capable of having skies such as this and that photo hasn't been edited.

Nemesis Inferno
Whenevr I've been lately lots of the rides definetely clear out at the end of the day! Its silly to say rides are packed all day, because... there not. Rides such as Stealth and Nemesis for example are always a lot quieter towards the start of the day whilst Saw and Colossus are busy, this seems to even out around mid-day and the last few visits I've had including bank holiday monday there have been points in the day where Colossus is near enough walk on. Rush always seems to be a lot quieter towards the end of the day and I've even managed to go round and ride it about 3 times in the space of 5 minutes on relatively busy days. Its all about planning your day which definetely effects it. Rides like Saw will proberly stay busyish unless of a shut down all day because well its new.

That queue line would never be so full if the clouds were grey

Your Thorpe Park
Now that is true. The problem is Saw always seems to brake down whilst I'm in the Samurai queue after a few minutes of watching it. Tbh as long as their despatching the ride right and running it quickly and effiecently I dont mind, its when their understaffed, taking ages and wasting time that pisses me off.Rush I think is the only flat ride queue which seems to move at a decent speed for most the time.

oh god Samurai is a horrible queue to queue! Takes a ridiculous amount of time to move!

Tips for travel
If your planning on going by train then you can get a direct train to Stoke on Trent from London Euston which varies in time, quicker trains can take only 1:30 hours! Then theres a bus from there to the park which I believe takes about 30 mins or so. So very quick journey by train! Car will most probs take longer

It doesn't make a difference to the actual ride but it looks a hell of a lot better from a spectators point of view!

SAW: The Ride
They don't film everyone though unfortunaetly, well not last time I checked. So if you can see your video playing you've been filmed, if not it proberly means you haven't.
-
Tidal Wave
Yeah they had it running about a week and a half back when I went so it shows they can run it. Its proberly for scenery and effect tbh, really does look a lot better when it is running!

Britain's got talent
LOL YEP! And then she seemd to be happy as f**k when they annoucned the winner and was back to her normal strange self ;)Tbh theres not a chance in hell that will be the end of Susan Boyle and now the whole world has apparently "fallen in love with her" she'll defo be getting signed up quickly! Diversity were amazing tonight and Susan was a real great sport to them! Good on both of them!

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Its bloody annoying when they don't load fast enough and the attendants only letting people through the chain when the train has arrived and the gates are opening, seriously slows down the procedure!
-

Lol lots of slagging off been going on :)Tbh even though there may be thousands of people who can play instruments etc out there at the end of the day they didn't enter BGT and the people who did deserve to be there because they have the courage and commitment to enter a competition such as BGT. Those people have proved that they can succesfully play well in front of LOADS of people on stage and whilst any one could play in their back room or something it is kinda different and a lot harder playing in front of all the millions or so people watching. So well done on them!

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
The thing is once Thorpe stop doing single rider on a ride you'll suddenly find there are LOADS of free seats on the ride whilst there never seeemed to be free seats when the ride did have single rider. Dunno how but it seems to be that way
-
SAW: The Ride
Yeah exactly. They don't need the actual voice over either. The one they have works fine and its only really meant for safety announcements etc, no one really pays attention to them tbh.
-
Britain's got talent
They were nothing special tbh.Mmm... I'm assuimg Hollie will get through and probs Aidan as well
-
Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Yeah thats true. Well its just in general Inferno seems to be a faster moving queue, just seems to despatch trains faster. It was only once or twice I saw the train leave as the train before was pulling into the brakes, but the Inferno ride team always seem to be putting their full into ensuring the queues move quickly.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Yeah I agree ^ Not meaning to favour any rides... but Inferno especially has just been awesome! They've been sending trains as the train before just hits the brakes which really is amazing! Its a very fast moving queue as well and always seems to move a lot faster than the Colossus's for some reason.

Only 10 minutes!Exciting stuff ;)My bad 10 mins from now

Saw- Construction Thread
The only problem with that is I think guests would be slighty dissapointed by how un-scary Saw the ride is after getting their hopes up walking through a scar zone
