Oh that's not too bad. Thank you

I'm just trying to plan my Halloween Hocus Pocus visit this year. I've never been before, but does it usually get that busy? I would guess that most people go home around 6pm, but can anyone give me an idea of the maximum queue times that I'll be looking at?

I love the runaway train cabin!

That makes perfect sense!Ok thanks. I'll tuck some money in my pocket for fastracks then.

I would guess things like ride effects, (water fountain in tunnel, water shoots etc).

I'd seen that image before, but I was hoping that it was something a bit more exciting than a playground!

I haven't been to Fright Nights outside of half-term before, and I'm going on the 17th next week. I know no one can predict the future, but has anyone been before outside of half term, and if so could you give me some average queue times? I know it's going to be busy, but I'm not expecting it to be as busy as half term. We're staying from 10am - 10pm so we'll have plenty of time.

Well I think it's a fantastic idea. Especially for first time meet-uppers, as it will avoid the awkward situation of trying to work out who is who.

Mr Rabbits Tropical Travels was a slow moving boat ride around the Calypso jungle, and unfortunately I don't know what Trappers Trail was.

Ok I think we've milked that one enough now, back on topic with trip reports please.

I love the way that at the bottom of the advert it says, "Go to altontowers.com/2010 for more information", and when you log on to that website, it is just a picture of that advert. :blink:Great advert though, really intriguing.

Woah! :blink:My smallest class is Drama and that has around 18/19 in it.

Sounds good. If it is going to be lit up, that will look good behind the illuminated flame of Tidal.

Well at 10pm it is very rare to find a 2 hour queue, so probably not. Most of the queue lines at 10pm will probably be around 30-60 minutes maximum I would imagine.

My GCSE class is full. (35 people)

I'm very much like the old Mark. I will go on any ride if it has a short queue. Even if it is less than 0 degrees, I will still go on Tidal Wave if there is no queue. Two years ago, Tidal Wave was walk-on at 7pm, and I had 11 rides in a row. That was a great day, even if it was slightly bloomin' freezing!

It has just occurred to me that I haven't been on Flying Fish since last season! I will make it a top priority to ride it next week.

Back on topic please

I'm going to Fright Nights this year, but I'm not going to queue over an hour for any maze (even if I haven't been on it before). I'm going to get in the Asylum queue before 4pm, and do that as soon as possible. Then I'll probably just do the rides. If I have to resort to fastrack, then I would much rather buy a fastrack for rides than for the mazes.

To be honest, I thought that GCSE French would be a lot harder than I am finding it. I have just finished my "School" coursework, all 469 words of it . Our teacher said that to get an A*, you need to put a subordinate clause in every (well, pretty much) sentence. I thought that this would be impossible, but will a little extra effort, I did manage to do it.

Go to Thorpe Park (as I mentioned on the other topic! )Love or Money?

If I were you, I would go with your friends. If you said that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, then I might say go to the football thing. If there are going to be plenty of other matches in the future, then I would go out with your friends.

That's not a reason to stop me going. Yes, they can be unpleasant, but that's only a small minority. Most of them are just there to enjoy the day like you are. Anyway, this year the chav count seems to be on the decrease!
