  1. And that the staff kept stacking it on the 3rd train on the 2nd lift... Weird how it worked for about 10 years on 3 Vekoma trains without any form of incident that was down to because there were 3 running at the time...
  2. But then people might see Bintorongs getting eaten by Lions again and permentantly scarred for life... Might as well just close
  3. Fastrack does make queues longer, otherwise why would queues after closing time not be as long as advertised? I experienced that plenty of times at Chessie to see it...
  4. Found out tonight they run 3 cars on Toadies... No clue... Absolutely none...
  5. If I saw the Vampire queue THAT long (which would probably involve seeing the end from the Bubbleworks entrance) I'd go to the Zoo... That simple...
  6. I keep reading this and I just cannot seem to understand it... Are you trying to imply that fully removing Fastrack wouldn't make the normal queue quicker?

    And it's reopened...
  8. I would hate to see a new ride wasted on a Stand-Up coaster... The horror circus theme is so Candy Holland isn't it?
  9. I've had that precise situation with Kobra before with Fastrackers/Disabled, and I complained about it on the day... It's not great at all... Chessie's operations have fallen off a cliff and sunk into that massive gorge in the ocean...
  10. Who really cares if Dragons Playhouse is closed?
  11. It reaches a top speed of 30 odd mph... Yep, 30... So it's not going to be an amazing huge world beating coaster, but with Dollywood's pechant for quality theming and interesting layouts, this is going to be a fab little coaster for the families... A shame the adventure course thing got spited though...
  12. Oh, well there goes the odds of the event being any good then
  13. Let's be honest, Blair Witch is begging to use the CCR rail-line...
  14. 25 minutes for Fury Fastrack? You say the queue hit 2 hours... That is not a valid complaint... Fastrack does not grant instant access to the ride, it shortens the individual's queue-time in comparison to the main queue... Everything else sounds about right though... 45 seconds for Vampire was for 2 trains mind, 30 for 3 trains... Not surprised in the slightest the staff wouldn't believe it could be done...
  15. A Blair Witch and Cabin ones done right could be amazing and more than likely the best mazes there... More surprising to me that Lionsgate own that many franchises...
  16. Raptor doesn't have a dull ending, final inline into the brakes without the silly helix after them... Granted it has a turn dive into the final final brakes, but it's not as bad as the usual 180 degree plus helix the rest have... Clearly the best Wing-Rider as a result... EDIT - Another pic...
  17. A few parks already do Fastrack via phone sales... Flamingoland springs to mind over in the UK who at least did it a while back... The survey regarding this also asks how much you'd be willing to pay for the service, so it really does look like a replacement for Fastrack's current guise, because if it were to be used as a full on queue replacement, I wouldn't expect to be paying for it... Unless it's aiming for a tiered service...
  18. You mean the front row queue which didn't particularly work well either?

    Slammer

    Same as last year then... Silly Slammer...
  20. Yeah... Typically, the theme of this would SUIT black/grey, instead we've got the same colour scheme as half the coasters already in the park... Merlin logic <3
  21. It's the problem with having old infrastructure not designed for the modern crowds... Expand the bridge, refurb the entrance and dome, make it look less messy with hoardes of metal barriers... Simple things, but will make it look a lot more nicer... As for the Thorpe getting stick, they got the stick they deserved with their awful operations and general atmosphere in the past... This year that's changing... Shows the difference a knowledgable marketing team can make to a park...
  22. ^That's a strange one, usually the back row queue is packed out, and due to poor batching is completely empty in the station... Messy queue is messy...

    First major reported breakdown in a while hasn't it been? Unless someone's still been updating the Wiki with EVERY... SINGLE... BREAKDOWN...
