    I TRIED to buy a snack whilst waiting for Dreams, but as Disney Paris are crap they had shut all the popcorn stands AND the crepe shop... And I'm sure the staff would love to deal with a 2 hour queue on Saw at 11pm... And I again mention transport links as a potential issue to late night openings... As said, Thorpe does not have enough non-ride stuff or is big enough to warrant excessive opening times... Indeed, plan smart and you can get the park done in 3 hours, have lunch and go home... IF they brought in things to do OTHER than queue (which is another issue, after lunch activities are basically, queue or queue) up for things and space out the day more (like the old Farm, but that isn't great for the new audience) Thorpe would definitely see a rise in guest satisfaction...

    Isn't the old noise restriction order put on the park (and that area) still in place? Considering lifts are only generally noisy because of the anti-rollbacks, I would say that it is a noise related thing...

    25 days worth of testing required apparently... Still doable to open mid-May (although maybe not the penciled in date of the 18th, looking like the week after (which is Half Term, wahey) atm), as they can still finish the paths/fences/etc (which have already been started) during testing like they did with Swarm (and every other coaster ever)... Shame it's so late, because quite frankly, it's amazing to look at... But this might give Merlin a little poke in the face to say "Look, this is what happens when you rush massive coaster projects! Unexpected delays happen and cause it to finish/open late and in excess cause issue with guest numbers"... I think the compact nature of the ride also didn't particularly help construction either as well (in addition to the groundwork trouble, snow, wind, alien beasties rising up from the ground, secret vaults being discovered, curses, etc)... This project is probably the most complex in the UK (the more they built, the more complicated it got to build the rest of it with lack of space, etc), and definitely sits up there with Oblivion and Nemesis for complexity... Either way, looks like it might be opening when I'm away, which is good, means I can avoid the inevitable descension of goons on the park and the inevitable cries of it being 'crap', 'rough', 'not better than Nemesis', etc.

    If they're gonna have a later park opening they'd have to put on a fair few more buses over the night... Wonder how much that'll cost them...
  9. No sarcasm, it's just a result of a stupid censor system...
  10. Why the feck is Light-water on the censor-list? *facepalm*
  11. By reacting, do we mean when the flame actually ignites, or when it fails to and covers the area in a gas cloud of death?
