When talking to a staff member on a lift hill climb (on Swarm), apparently they installed an anti-rollback system. He said it can't rollback but it can get stuck. Does anyone know has this anti-rollback system works or if it exists?

 I would say that's a complete lie.

Here's the direct link:

 

Advert says opens End of May!

They'll do rotations, especially depending on the environment. Actors aren't supposed to work in a strobe environment for more then 45 minutes at a time, so it's likely they'll have 3 sets of actors rotating throughout the day.

 You've missed the point I was making. Read the sentence again and then read my previous post on the previous page.

Weather the werewolf thing is in the audio or not, I defiantly think there could be some sort of werewolf Involved ! , think the 12 different monsters could be , dolls, demons, ghosts, werewolfs, anything really !

I wonder if there's a mid-course break run or if the actors will be allowed 15 minute brakes every hour?

Off topic but....

 

Defiantly = is an adverb that is linked to the noun defiance which is defined as "bold disobedience."

Definitely = without doubt (used for emphasis).

 

Sorry but it's a massive bug bear of mine.

People are actually questioning if the video is staged? Really?

It was at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta, price peaked at like £8 and the queue on both sides of the ride was full... So £8 for a short ride cycle just a little ridiculous! It was better in the day when they charged like £4 and had a good few minutes

 Can go on it for a £1 at my fair on certain days.

Shame.  Hopefully they can use this time to fix the long-broken effects!

 

Can only dream.

Inferno was amazing yesterday!! the mist was on and it was quite powerful and refreshing haha! also under the loop there was some thing that kept happening like just before the train hit the loop it would shoot up water which was cool! 

 

That would be the "geyser"

Wow, if that's the most used setting now, just get rid of it. Absolutely pointless.

Place to go for queue times and closures!

Just seen the queue times online. That's disgusting that they are on 1 train operation.

They have used 3 every time I have visited. One by the exit gate and two in the operating booths. If a fourth staff member was acquired, the batching and balancing could be done whilst it is being operated. It would also mean the operators don't have the task themselves of doing this.

I'm just glad slammer is running though, and the other rides(Dodgems, zodiac, vortex etc.) have had much worse operations lately so slammer seems like it has good operations at the moment

It's been closed the last few days.

Anyone know what's wrong with Colossus. Closed yesterday and still hasn't opened today.

Where is this queue times website everyone is seeing? They updated the iOS app so you can only see times when at the park now.

   @THORPEPARK massive overselling of fasttrack... 45 mins for mazes? Are you not making enough money already?

@joejessener16 Hey. Fastrack does not offer you instant access to a ride and it instead cuts your queuing time by 1/3. Thank you.

8:19 PM - 26 Oct 2014

Queue times are disgusting compared to Alton Towers. They need to improve throughput massively.

The unfortunate way Merlin parks are run. Once the budget for the day is decided and commited to they can't just swap between 1/2 train operation on a whim. It needs a minimum of 2 extra staff and more on top of that to cover all the staff breaks and finding that at 1:30/2pm is near-on impossible with the day already in full swing so to speak. Either that or engineering just couldn't get 2 trains ready because one was being worked on and not in an operating condition at the time.

I'm not excusing, just explaining.

 

Oh I know why it's just plain wrong. I looked in the shed and they were working on the spare 3rd train. Other looked fine. I'm pretty sure nothing was wrong with the other one as all coasters were on 1 train. (Saw excluded)

could it be though that thorpe was thinking since its a school day it would be rather quiet?

 

It was quiet, but Stealth needed two trains as it opened late and had big queues til close.

Opened at around 1.30 yesterday on 1 train (in fact except SAW, all coasters were on 1 train) 45+ minute wait, still on 1 train. The park is a joke sometimes!

Vortex was running well again today!

Apparently it was the 1 millionth from the literal first car in testing, and not with riders; so technically the 1 millionth hasn't been hit yet, well it might have now. IDK how many test cars were sent

 

Surely technically the 1 millionth has been hit if they are counting it that way?

According to TPM Twitter, Stealth rolled back twice today!!

 

Someone on Twitter is asking why is Slammer closed today, so I'm guessing it lasted one day.
