Scarefest never has ERT anyway.
But even if there was ERT, sun tickets don't get any. No cheapskates get ERT.

Yeah they have replaced ERT with the 9pm closing time

There is no ERT during scarefest

First week of Scarefest is dead midweek, that is always my favourite time to go and I do so every year!. All Sacrefest weekends get quite busy though, and one of them usually has a slightly different atmosphere thanks to our travelling friends.

First week of Scarefest back to 9pm close...
You can all fill in your Alton Towers decision U-Turn square on your Bingo boards...
Pluk's trip however is still not Scarefesty...

When I went to Legoland with my other half in June, we witnessed an attempted queue jump - by a group of obvious traveller kids on the Boating School ride. They were "trying to find their mum in the queue" apparently - us, a particularly annoyed woman and her husband behind, and a group of Indian chaps succeeded in not letting them get past - and when we got to the front, the woman informed the Ride Op what they had done - and the Ride Op then checked with us quietly to check she was telling the truth - he was a bit gutted that we backed up the story because he knew what he was about to have to deal with, the poor chap!
Needless to say, after we pulled away in our boat, we didn't see another boat behind us for the entirety of the ride - reason being the kids were kicking off on the loading platform and refused to leave. We really really felt for the poor guy who was operating the ride but fair play for not letting them ride

Uh oh, Closed again according to ride times and a post on Facebook. What now?

Is this thing trying to rival Slammer with the amount of breakdowns it has in one season lol

Rode X yesterday for the first time since it's "rebirth" - have to say, with the funds available I am quite impressed, and has certainly breathed a bit of life into what was an odd ride... thumbs up from me. Particularly like the light effects in the queue line tunnels, and the ride itself certainly suits the new "family orientated" Thorpe.

Hey all went on x again yesterday near the end of the day and it was in toal darkness again No lights on at all lol

The photoshoot photos are up https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151768738450867.1073741828.27217550866&type=1

The Loggers & Rocky combo was another highlight of the day for me!
Never have I been so drenched on Loggers - Complete and utter face full of water
EDIT: There's a handful of photos on my Facebook too - but no people in them mind you

I've just got back to Portsmouth - alas no free ice cream for us but there was a group photo in the fake snow shower after our many rides on Stealth
pluk - worry ye not, despite us being the first rides of the morning, and us being on 20+ trains, not one rollback happened.
Good fun in the Swarm queue that started out as 15 mins and ended up being nearly an hour because of an E-Stop, a V*-Stop and a technical fault.
I'm pretty shattered and I only did Stealth about 10 times and left about 3pm, so you lot still on park will be shattered by hometime!
Another fab opportunity and day out thanks to TPM and Thorpe Park - well done to all concerned!
(Oh, and - I really like the new X. First time on it, impressed with that they've done!)

Brilliant day, brilliant people...

Just checked and found I am home too so a big thanks to Peaj for organizing and keeping tags on names and "handles", also keeping the scores on the evenings orders. Thanks to TP for inviting us, and special thanks to staff who turned in early to operate the ride.
Interesting day, on my favourite ride, I understood that there was a photoshoot on at the same time but think we had the better draw. Sorry to those that I did not speak to, or failed to return to conversations with, and great to meet people.
Sorry also, that I dropped out of the TP ride tour so quickly as I had to return to Stealth just to make sure it was working okay still, it was, all day.
Promise that in the future I will ignore Stealth and be more sociable, well, I'll try.
