Alton Towers General Discussion
Cheers folks I did think I shouldn't worry. Benin - I'm going this Tuesday, and am pleased the weather forecast has changed from "heavy rain and sunny spells" to "light rain and sunny spells"...!

Alton Towers General Discussion
I know double post, but just wondering if anyone can help on this?

Scarefest
Power cut currently on park, affecting all areas except Forbidden Valley and Katanga Canyon...

Alton Towers General Discussion
Quick question... I've been given two gate passes (complementaries), however one is faded... How good are the scanners at the gate? Tried the faded one with a barcode scanner on my phone and it couldn't read it, but it could on the non faded one! I would assume the scanners on the gate are better than my phone and more tolerant

Scarefest
I'm off on Tuesday 22nd, I'm hoping this day should be quiet - I don't think the schools are on half term at that point?

Music
Love both of Miley's singles and can't wait for the album... Gaga's "Applause" is a grower, "Roar" by Katy Perry far more instant. Looking forward to those two albums arriving too Bought Birdy's new album this week which is rather gorgeous even if I say so myself. "Wings" - Just beautiful <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJTXDCh2YiA Haim's new one on it's way too

Maniacs Brave The Bloody Valentine Tour - 19/10/13
Would LOVE to do this but that weekend is manic as my girlfriend is off to New York and I'm heading up to Alton Towers for the 22nd. Have fun folks and you'll see me on a meet again soon

The Smiler
I'm guessing sandbags will be with regards to the flooding/drainage issues?
-
The Smiler
I don't like the idea of having to play metaphorical "russian roulette" as to if the Smiler will be open or not when you visit - who does it think it is, Slammer?!
-
The Smiler
Impressive stuff.... hope Smiler starts behaving a little better by the time Scarefest comes around.....!
-
The Smiler
Towers Street have just posted a photo of a pump truck on site - reported drainage issues at the bottom of the lift hill. Facepalm.
-
The Smiler
Post and photo on TTF shows work being done on the vertical lift hill. Again. All I know is, when I go on 22nd October, I am heading straight for the Smiler queue with it's current track record
-
The Smiler
Smiler... currently closed... yada yada... EDIT: Maybe it's closed as they need to remove that extra "N" from "Innoculator"
-
The Smiler
Smiler is closed again - apparently never opened this morning...

Chessington General Discussion
Just reading some of the horror stories on Facebook posted by guests - 2 rides in a days visit, cracking! Mentions of 4 rides being down - RMT, RR... what else?

Fright Nights 2013
Puppets are freaky and creepy full stop. Bring it on!
-
Fright Nights 2013
Nor have I (sadly) - couldn't go to Fright Nights last year! I really hope that FN's 2013 are a return to the glory years - more park wide audio, roaming actors, lights and dry ice please
-
The Smiler
Yep I think the Smiler has been behaving recently... It's got until 22nd October to sort itself out
-
Fright Nights 2013
Agree completely but if a bit of video helps "set the scene" then it can be good - trouble is the whole group you are with has to be "into it" to get the full benefit! I'm really intrigued what Thorpe Park has in store for this year - as much as I love E10 (and Asylum) - if they are removed/changed/rebranded for the better than I am all for it. Would top off a generally positive season for the park
-
Fright Nights 2013
Yep that really took me by surprise - and the isolation rooms were a nice touch too I didn't go on E10 last year but I understand it wasn't quite as good. I'm sure there will be some sort of big reveal tonight by Thorpe Park - then maybe one maze a week or every couple of days!
-
Fright Nights 2013
The SAW contract expires at the end of this season I believe - I really can't see it not being renewed at the end of the season so yes, would make sense to tie in mazes with Lionsgate films I'll be a tad upset if there's no Experiment 10 as I really liked that maze. (Welcome to the forum by the way!)
