  1. 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...

    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...
  4. 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"...
  5. Benin replied to OldFarmerDean's topic in The Past
    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...
  6. 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...

    Swarm doesn't have a roof because Candy Holland didn't want a fire exit in it...
  8. 5 hours, virtual wait time or not is disgraceful...
  9. Benin replied to Phill's topic in General Discussion
    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...
  10. Benin replied to Mark9's topic in General Discussion
    It's not a patch on Chiapas...
  11. WOULD PEOPLE SPELL TRIAL CORRECTLY PLEASE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! The lack of correct spelling on this place at times...
  12. Sounds like a race to not being the worst then...
  13. Benin replied to OldFarmerDean's topic in The Past
    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...
  14. Benin replied to JoshC.'s topic in The Past
    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?
  15. 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...
  16. No, we really don't 'need' the ducks... What we need is a gutting of all theming and them starting from scratch...
  17. Benin replied to OldFarmerDean's topic in The Past
    Or it could be a dark ride AND coaster in one...
  18. Plenty of trains then a bus to the park... It's easy to get to...
  19. 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?
  20. 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...
  21. Benin replied to JoshC.'s topic in The Past
    Having a room full of rabbits would actually make me visit the park...
  22. Something in Bling's old spot, so a flat ride is the most likely...
  23. Also there were pictures of the official plans (but only a small part of them)...
  24. Considering we don't know the actual layout, how can you tell if it's not much better than Oblivion's?
  25. And this is where the balance of positive reactions comes from... Those who are using RnR, see it as a means to jump the normal queue... So if you've not been stood in a slow moving queue for an hour because of Fastrack and RnR taking the precedence over you, then of COURSE you'll be positive about the system... It's a similar problem with Disney trialing no standby queue for Midway Mania, in some normal guests they are unable to actually use the attraction at all because they don't have Fastpass+ etc...
