  1. If it is very windy, I'd imagine that Skyride is one of the few that would be closed... Everything else should be open regardless I'd say... Unless the park itself becomes unsafe like it did the other year with trees collapsing and what-not...
  2. Bear in mind only really Swarm has been built since IMAScore has come into serious play (even then they were only starting out into the theme park side of things, Krake was their first ride soundtrack and probably were chosen mostly because they're a German company)... Might be expensive, but they have created some of the best ride music in modern times... Indeed, things like Chiapas and Helix sound like they should be in a film rather than a theme park... Plus the range of genres they've created is pretty much astounding... It should be EU law that all parks must have IMAScore do their ride music...
  3. Thing is, if/when it does become permanent, those short queues won't exist, and you'll be left to wander the park for enternity... It's quite evident that the reasoning that there is such a positive vibe from it, is because not everyone is using it... Though until Thorpe can actually get the system to work reliably (because it clearly didn't this weekend), can they risk trialing it to such an extent? Oh well, least we don't have to care about that till next year now... That's a positive...

    I'm just gonna leave this here...
  5. They just need to get the new trains from Intamin that they put on the Colossus V2 they built over in Italy (the name escapes me)... But, that would require Merlin investing in maintenance...
  6. People would be more likely to take your feedback on board if it was slightly more constructive, instead of arrogant and very "I'm an enthusiast therefore I know what's best"...
  7. It's been referenced elsewhere too... Something akin to Wonder Mountain Guardian over in Canada... Not exactly a coaster, but I'd much prefer a look at producing an experience...
  8. To be fair, it is an issue that should be resolved... Site should only be accessible when connected to free WiFi at the park... Easy to do...
  9. Swarm doesn't have a roof because Candy Holland didn't want a fire exit in it...
  10. 5 hours, virtual wait time or not is disgraceful...

    Samurai

    If people will pay me money, I'll be the engineer that will stand at a broken ride and go "hmmm" for the entire day to make it look like there's work being done...
  12. It's not a patch on Chiapas...
  13. WOULD PEOPLE SPELL TRIAL CORRECTLY PLEASE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! The lack of correct spelling on this place at times...
  14. Sounds like a race to not being the worst then...
  15. I can see X going if they have a suitable idea for a replacement... Let's be honest, it's still crap, and uses the space available in one of the worst ways possible... They can do so much better...
  16. What if everyone had been using it though? Do you think you would've got on all the mazes then? It can't be deemed a success when all it is atm is free Fastrack... What about those stood in the normal queue and their experiences of it? Or is it a case of tough taters for them as they're not using it?
  17. They are trialing it with a standby queue? Fear for those who don't use it... Although it does just help the positive spin from those who are using it...
  18. No, we really don't 'need' the ducks... What we need is a gutting of all theming and them starting from scratch...
  19. Or it could be a dark ride AND coaster in one...
  20. Plenty of trains then a bus to the park... It's easy to get to...
  21. It was 6 weeks probation period if I recall, had an interview before you could claim it... Why do we expect anything less from Merlin parks?
  22. They need to do what Plopsa are starting to do with Holiday Park; get rid and replace the utter crap (Toadies, Peeking, Capers, Playhouse, Truckers, etc), and retheme the hell out of the old bits... A Chiapas style Flume should go to Towers and replace that pile of crap first though...
  23. Having a room full of rabbits would actually make me visit the park...
  24. Something in Bling's old spot, so a flat ride is the most likely...
