Just saw on Thorpe's FB that the App has been discontinued, so assume RnR has too... for now.

I know it's a term time weekday in October, but the live queue times really echo what Mark is saying today - currently the only attractions with a queue are Air at 5 minutes and Mr Bloom with 10 minutes (but that doesn't really count).

Thought this was the best place to put this - my girlfriend has published a book on Kindle/Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Reasons-Love-Nerd-Like-Me-ebook/dp/B015VL47M4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443781452&sr=8-1&keywords=reasons+to+love+a+nerd+like+me She's had 2.4 million "reads" on Wattpad so decided to take the plunge and put it out there as a paid for book too and see how it goes.... https://www.wattpad.com/story/13980497-reasons-to-love-a-nerd-like-me I know Wattpad is free but she's kinda hoping that people will pay a couple of quid to "own" the book as it's easier to read on Kindle than on Wattpad online etc! Would be interested of anyone's thoughts - it's likely to be of interest to the main demographic on here - possibly

Best news I've heard for ages

I reckon I can probably come to this Quick edit to this post to avoid a double post... was just saying to Peaj, I haven't even seen Angry Birds land "IRL" yet I haven't been to Thorpe in so long, what a disgrace to the community I am

Yes that's what I was thinking too - so you can't just reset from the control room.
-
These photos of the original Amity Cove make me feel a little sad
-
Just spotted that Mind Gap is now referred to as Mind The Gap at the top in "Your Progress"... I did say a train carriage all along, just sayin... PS. Is Jart going to any meets soon?
-
They say this now... that's before the inevitable cost-cutting and budget-restraints when/if it comes to fruition.
-
I think that applies to most of the attractions at Chessie, no?
-
That 2016 page is incredibly informative.
-
On the website - Mind Gap... that's an odd turn of phrase, sounds like a play on words of "Mind The Gap" to me. Expect a train carriage I say
-
Would be very pleasantly surprised if it does reopen for the season - but the fact they are actually working on installing barriers etc. obviously shows that they are going to re-open it... at some point.
-
Are the Lorikeets still SBNO?
-
Oh well, another one bites the dust...
-
Not if they are filling every other boat I guess! Kobra now has a 2 hour 20 minute queue. #winning

Fun times again today - Fury & Peking Unavailable, Skyway, Rattlesnake and Tomb still down. Black Bucanneer: 50 Bubbleworks: 90 Falls: 60 Jumbos: 30 Jungle Bus: 30 Kobra: 60 Monkey Swinger: 30 Treetop Hoppers: 50 Scorpion: 45 Seastorm: 55 Tiny Truckers: 55 Toadies: 40 Vampire: 80 Zufari: 25 Assume the grass car park really is as bad as people are making out? Seems crazy parking on that considering how waterlogged the ground must be! EDIT: Fury reopens, boom 90 minute queue. Bubbleworks & Vampire now 120 minutes. Lovely.

Thorpe I mean Jart has been awfully quiet since popping in to share the Minds Wanted website
-
Indeed. Done on purpose do you think or just one of those things? Chessington's Tripadvisor makes for entertaining reading by the way. It's not just "enthusiasts" that can see what has happened to the park.
-
This. As I was saying elsewhere - I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but I was completely blown away just standing around in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. Similarly - the Simpons Land area's attention to detail was just as impressive at Universal... and at Epcot too, to be fair!

Double post to say Chessie have changed their ride availability page so the closed rides just appear in the "Normal operation" section now
