Depends if that's the actual charge for it though in pounds though... Certainly looks high end, wonder what it looks like on a typical laptop/desktop without all the high grade stuff on it? Always the issue with PC games (both exclusive and multi-platform) these days is that all the imagery is taken off this wonderful expensive things that few people actually own... What they NEED to have on NL, is a simplified introduction and simple mode if you will, where it does a lot of the nitty gritty for you when designing on it (banking/supports/etc)... It's what never got me into the thing fully in the first place...

Throughout the park now of course meaning a central point nowhere near half of the park?

Not even Bubbles, HPH or Seastorm? Considering it's likely half the zoo will still be shut, the Zoo Days will seem rather pointless...

$45? Nope...

Blair Witch I'm guessing will only open when it's properly dark, which is good for it because then you can't see the actors/other guests in front of you... Otherwise it would be REALLY pointless...

Get there for opening (which should be a consideration for any park visit), then head onto Vampire/Fury depending on the entrance you arrive at... You might well need Fastrack for something later in the day depending on the operations, and judging by the year so far that is quite likely... Busyness varies greatly at Chessie, so best to just play things by ear...

Can never have too much Midnight Syndicate, I was glad to hear it outside Asylum... Shame the rest of the music was rather undescript...

Seeing the queue for Blair Witch I understand why Rocky closes, Loggers closes because of safety at night... It also has Fastrack, as people used it whilst we were queuing... Combined with the low throughput of the mazes, they'll always have long queues of burden... Though if that means the coasters get low queues, I'm not gonna complain...

It might look nice, but it'll still be a crappy IP used that has no substance whatsoever...

Chessie could dig down and have done before, but judging how half the park is shifting I doubt they'd wanna risk it...

Zombies is tonnes better than Blair Witch... Then again, walking in my garden at night is better than Blair Witch...

I wouldn't mind constant experience between guests, just a shame the current experience is DIRE and makes no sense...

That map is VILE </3

Probably sick and tired of it constantly getting smashed more times than people on a night out in Croydon...

It was nice to see Swarm's effects all working yesterday... The plane looks so good at night <3

Onto actual operations side, I see Thorpe decided that an organised queue to get into the park itself and the Mraws queue is shut possibly for good... One bad thing, one good thing...

Were the ride queues REALLY that bad to warrant such hours yesterday? The answer, no... Of course later on during half term we might see packed things EVERYWHERE, but yesterday was a day of moderate busy times... Does Fright Nights only exist after 3pm? Aside from the entrance signage and the random dotted theming there and in the Dome, you wouldn't be surprised if it was any other day at the park, especially with the chart music blaring at the entrance... Also, Thorpe have decided that organised queuing to get in should be forgotten, and having 2 queues into the AP gate is a FANTASTIC idea... Why get rid of the old queue system that worked pretty well and was rather clear as to what was what? Rather than have lines of people waiting for 30 minutes to be effectively jumped because the staff member wanted a 2nd AP entrance queue? The ride announcements are cheese... Simple as, and I dunno, just not that great? I think it's because it's the same announcement on each ride bar the odd differing one (on Det) which makes it seem like a good idea poorly done, like every Merlin addition... You're Next actors were great, that simple really... The fact that they go around in one large group is both their best and worst feature, as it means you might never encounter them at all during your visit... Also bumped into the Director and his entourage a few times, he was fab and these were easily the best part of the day... Blair Witch is awful... People standing in your way does not constitute scary times, neither does a man running up to you and then as soon as you notice him retreat away... Perhaps this would be more suited to a 'Brave it Alone' thing, or smaller groups, as the constant conveyor of people doesn't help it at all... Plus B&Q shed theming </3 Didn't do the other mazes cos don't like them in the first place, and why queue 80 minutes for Saw Alive when Swarm is on a 10 minute queue? Queue estimates were all over the place as well for rides and mazes... Cabin advertised at 90 ended up being 30, whilst ones advertised at 60 were longer... Swarm's advertised 5 minute queue was aforementioned 10 minutes... All in all, it doesn't FEEL like a Halloween event with just music, actors, mazes and lighting that's there all year around... The park (and Towers) NEED to look into making the park look Halloweeny... Port Aventura made an obscene effort and Chessie no doubt will as well to make the park suit the Halloween theme, it's disappointing that our top 2 UK parks don't... A real air of indifference to the event... Mainly as outside the mazes, it's just another day in the park... Shame...

How many people actually pay the gate price? With the numerous BOGOFs or online deals, very few will be...

Someone I know on Facebook just posted this... Go Rumba!

Still waiting on the completion of the American Wing-Rider trains to be themed...

You said that you thought it was real, even though in the face of the video you posted it said the word 'UNOFFICIAL' in big letters at the very beginning of it... I felt it prudent to point out your mistake and not get your hopes up as there has been no official confirmation from the park in regards to getting a new coaster in the near future beyond the odd "We hope to do so"... If it's rude to point out quite simply that you were incorrect to assume the plans made it look certain Drayton were getting a Hot Wheels Mack Launched coaster, then I'm rude... Finally, it's "people expect when THEY'RE rude", just for pedantry...

Test video... DAT AIRTIME HILL!

Can't really compare funfair pricing though, because those are mostly different operators and have to pay various different things (rent being one of them, I can't imagine Hyde Park being cheap to have a space in)... Thing is, until the BOGOF pricing reaches breaking point, this won't matter too much as very few people actually pay full price in the first place... Be it via BOGOFs or even pre-booking on the internet...

So an unofficial video with plans of someone's own personal designs make it look certain Drayton are getting a Mack launched IP coaster? Nah...

I would say the not touching thing is an American problem that unfortunately for them probably cannot be solved without changing their culture... "Ew they breathed on me, I'm sueing the park for mental trauma!"
