Europa Park
Arthur is a lovely ride! Was there last week and rode it 5-6 times. The whole Arthur area is a really beautiful piece of theming too. The pov of Arthur doesn't tell a good story, the on ride audio is great, there's a lovely floaty experience on ride and the ride uses NFC on ride hosts wrists to lock and unlock bars! I think Arthur has been underrated by many but it's a lovely ride...also has a very good queue line!

Bubbleworks
The fountains were off today as well....poor show!

Flooding
I've been drafted in from sussex police to help out surrey with the flooding. My understanding is that Thorpe was used for an RVP (assuming I'm deployed to Chertsey) so I'll have a look about on Monday in respect of lake levels

VIP Day
They do let you take pictures there...I went in February last year and they did

Closed Season
So when is the top scan coming.... I really think they should retheme X and fix the tidal wave fire ball

Rant
I have a feeling that even that has now changed and they can serve an officer in uniform... However, I can't think of anyone that would buy it on duty! I try and refrain from buying my tobacco on duty as I can't be bothered with the comments....on the occasion described, I had actually ran out after a 12hr scene guard ironically enough!!

Rant
I got asked for I.D when buying cigarettes! At first I thought the cashier as joking and I just laughed and went to pay her but she was insistent on ID! She was actually being deadly serious! I'm 30 years old and was working at the time....as a policeman, No joke....did make me chuckle!

Summer Nights
I got my ticket within 5 minutes, just queued about 6:50! Only thing I'd suggest is that they make sure they check for wristbands on all rides. I went on inferno first and there were a number of groups without them, they did start checking later though! I thought it was a brilliant event and would go again for sure, maybe (this isn't THAT negative) they should start summer nights 30 mins later and close 30 mins later so staff have longer to prepare the rides and clear queues! All in all it was a fantastic event though, well done Thorpe!!!

Europa Park
There's far more to Europa than just blue fire...if the wodan queue is long, don't be put off as its one EPIC queue line! Infact...every ride is epic!

Next Big Thing - 2016 Development ?
I think that if Thorpe can go to merlin bosses and say, we've received positive feedback from however many thousand people about a wooden roller coaster then they might just get one. Having seen the plans last year, I was told by the thrills workshop guy that the plans wee pulled as it wasn't as marketable as saw. Now if they do manage to have the steepest drop/highest wooden coaster...they can easily market it. They've had a lot of positive comments and its better than going to merlin bosses and saying "Thorpe park mania want a wooden coaster....oh and a replica of talocan"

The Smiler
That'll simply be for everyone waiting at 9am on opening day for the main queue line to open, rather than a HUGE bundle ala thirteen opening

Chessington General Discussion
Yes it's the turning prior to the traffic lights for that car park, if you're coming in and the park is on your left On the subject of parking, I wish they'd sort out their fields. They closed both car parks around 12:30 today but yet there was plenty of space but they couldn't use it due to cars getting bogged down. Can they not just Tarmac/gravel it? Seeing as its in regular use, not like the towers overflow fields
