Will be going for my 8th trip on Sunday, hopefully make it to 10 by the end of the season! Fright Nights & Blow Sh*t Up if it happens!

Last year I prebooked my PMAP ticket but they didn't need it in the end, Just scanned pass and didn't bother looking at the pre book bit, same for Blows it up, there was a problem with getting the email but when I got there he just said ah it won't matter scanned the pass and off I went!

On Saturday (Noches Blancas) they were around 1:30 throughout the day, got slightly busier into the night, some of the queues only just touched an hour and mainly stayed at around 45 minutes! We only used the express as we wanted to do as much as possible in two days!

They seem to manage it a lot better now though, They'll fill the back 2 rows up on Baco and fill the rest with normal guests, Shambhala, they'll do one full train of normal guests then a train with express users, sounds bad but the express queue is near enough empty most of the time so they just fill the rest of the seats with normal queue, Khan they only let a certain amount of express on each train. Managed a lot better nowadays!

Sorry but I wouldn't trust anything they say, they've been known in the past to say so much crap haha! They reckoned a box near tidal wave was the fire effect for Tidal Wave etc...

Would imagine details about the event!

Fastrack really isn't that bad there! They manage it really well and even during the white night event there wasn't an outragous amount of people using it! It's done really well and if your a hotel guest you have to show your hotel card along with the wristband for added checks. I'd rather pay for it out there and get 20+ rides on Shambhala/ Dragon khan etc than pay £70 to do Th13teen/Air over and over! Also, Noches Blancas is an incredible event, if you get the chance to go out there when one is on then take it! The atompshere on park is magical, shows, partys and everything all going on around the park including your normal shows, such a brilliant event and can't wait for the next one!

It's extra revenue between now and 2016 though, who cares if it's ugly, fact is people will still stay there and that's added revenue instead of having nothing until 2016...

They will build a new one, these are only temporary ones till 2016! I don't think they look too bad, it's a place to sleep and it'll be clean that's all that really matters! Maybe they'll bring some ERT in aswell like they do at Towers?

More shipping containersssssss!

Off to PortAventura tomorrow, will be there for the White Nights event on Saturday! Can't wait!

Temporary hotel...Till 2016

I'd probably say Shambhala! It's so comfortable and re rideable!

I do know that they have had problems with the earth in the construction site though!

I've heard aswell that construction is running behind because of a problem and that it may not open in time for the new season... But we'll see as it's only a rumour

Here's a little picture update of the SW7 site on the 12th August:

Nope was always going to be opening for Fright Nights only!

I've Joined, I'm up for winning a car rather than fastracks Aslong as it's bigger than a 1 litre engine

Simliar thing that I experienced on sunday with Th13teen ERT, they was about 5 in there and they were chatting amongst themselves for ages.

So the news flying round facebook at the moment is that a bolt has come off the Swarm! Picture of the bolt: Ride seems to be back in operation according to Marc!

And then closed again!

Just seen a pic of the new Cable arriving!

Rita's launch cable has snapped this morning! No one was hurt though.

Seen some pictures from various groups on Facebook showing Nemesis without the blood red water (removal of the dye), I really hope they aren't leaving it out as that is one of the characterisitcs of the ride and would look silly without it!
