Do you know now exactly what you want to do when you grow up?Do you have many ideas or no idea at all?

Has Anyone Had A Close Shave?
I think that happens to the majority of people in the Stealth queue.

London Dungeons
It's a very, very good attraction. Well worth a visit.

Good! Otherwise we might have another "Rush" incident on our hands.

I hope that wasn't from the ride!

Those queue times surprised me. It seems as though that day the queues were in competition with Thorpe.75 minutes for Fury? The queue for SAW was only 70 minutes.

Someone's shoe flew off into the queue the other day.

Runaway Mine Train
I love it's length especially. It is a very long lasting ride on one cycle - one lap seems to be very long on it's own!A great ride when looking at every aspect - theming, design, music, location etc. 9/10.

It was in time when I rode last week, just a bit quiet that's all. It would be nice to have that timed nicely with the drop, at a terrifying volume.

You can't really call it atmosphere. That is what the queue theme and ride music is for. Breakdown announcements are designed to inform, not entertain.

I'm entitled to my opinion, and anyway, the operator could still have fun without abusing the PA system.

In my opinion, he should only be doing things like that when the queue is completely empty (in the morning, up until around 10.30am - 11am). Otherwise, the ride team should be aiming for very quick dispatch and a high throughput.- Detonator
That's not the point. Tom wrote in his post that the Detonator operator was deliberately falsely announcing a breakdown with the ride, when he knew that the ride was in full working operation.- Detonator
I don't mind the ride operators interacting with the guests using the PA system, have competitions etc, but I think that faking a ride breakdown is taking it a bit too far. It's just my opinion.- Detonator
Obviously it's not wasting time if the problem can't be helped.- Has Anyone Had A Close Shave?
Security at the park is incredibly tight these days.- Detonator
The way the post was written suggested that the ride operator was pretending that the ride had broken down, just to scare the riders for his amusement. This shouldn't be done, regardless of the queue length.- X

Wasting time deliberately in a job like that is not going to do him any favours.- Chessington Trip Reports
Glad you had a great day. :lol:I'm looking to go to Chessington in the next few weeks. Shall be my first visit since 2005.- Chessington General Discussion
The £30 version in Alton Towers entitles holders to ONE ride on each attraction listed. The £40 version in Chessington can be used an unlimited number of times on each attraction. The same thing in Alton Towers costs £75, so no. - Detonator
