A row one would cause some issues with smaller children sitting next to their parents (or other large adults in the row), as you do get bashed about a fair bit... Individual lapbars would be the only avenue to take, and that would be tricky to implement due to a lack of space...

Dat topic name change

My work here is done... MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Have you seen how Grizzly Mountain's works? (I.e. NOT like Everest's) It's AMAZE <3

The seatbelts are an issue (because a good number of them are already broken, which causes mass issues when boarding, had a whole empty row and a couple get off my one ride for example) and are being looked at...

EVERYTHING at Chessie has rubbish throughputs...

Whilst Gerstlauer vertical lifts do HAVE the potential to stop whilst vertical (hello Fluch), I doubt it could 'freefall'... Enthusiast wishes I would believe...

Sorry, but when you can't even back yourself up correctly... http://www.hussrides.com/family-rides.html I suggest that you stop, because you're just going to embarrass yourself dear... Suggesting I couldn't get things right when your poor attempt at being right was in fact, wrong...

Wait, a ride that can go upside down multiple times isn't a thrill ride? Considering Huss Rides don't list it under Family Rides on their own website, surely the manufacturer cannot be wrong? Rameses IS a thrill ride, indeed, surely Top Spins are deemed as such since so many seem to want Thorpe (the THRILL RIDE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD) to get one?

Let's go back to the days of the park adding Hocus Pocus Hall, Land of the Dragons and Peeking Heights, that'll make the park better... Family park means the WHOLE family, it is NOT a kids park, as it is not Legoland... Whilst it has a fair amount of rides aimed at the younger market, so does Disney, and that's not considered a kids park (but wait, Disney have thrill rides... OMG MIND BLOWN)...

That looks so different (and as such, weird) to the other Gerst lifts... Massive aesthetic change...

It is really that difficult to convert minutes to hours? Or am I assuming too much of the brain power of Thorpe's guests?

Thorpe's staff aren't THAT great at sending trains out... If there's ANY park in the world people should be trained at, it's Europa... Simple as...

I would think that a talking lemur appearing with a research team not in it's native habitat is the least of Zufari's worries...

Madagascar is now no longer part of the continent of Africa then? Will agree that the pre-show is pointless... Could've easily done a decent station instead with a loading video playing in the background...

That's so, so awful... RAVE TO THE EXIT!

And the airport...

S'all about the ride experience though, and since they're not particularly the smoothest things around it will skew the perception of all wooden coasters (and Big Dipper's incident won't help opinions)... Even if modern GCI's and the like are smooth as can possibly be, until a park here takes a perceived 'risk' on one, the perceptions will not change, and parks would be daft to not take into account the opinions of their guests...

They'd look better if I didn't have to tilt my head 90 degrees...

And Merlin's guest feedback forms say they are not marketable (which when we look at the Blackpool ones and Gwazi, makes sense)...

Erm, you still on regular occasion still have to wait to get into the station... I've seen the exit queue get packed on rare times as well, never was fun but was usually down to a ride going down at that time or Vamps itself dying earlier in the day...

Or Towers could bother having queue times also on the actual rides in question in digital format... That's a fault with their system actually, no idea how long most queues are when you join, all well and good with these central ones but when I'm entering Congo Rapids from Duel I have to risk it...

The train stopping thing is a weird common Vekoma situation and seems to happen on most of their ride types... Perhaps that's an underlying issue of their computer/brakes... And there is no way Chessie should run with 3 trains with the current staff, they stack two for minutes at a time, we do not need people being stuck on lift two for 5 odd minutes...
