As predicted the park semi-emptied out today, with 20-30 minutes queues on the major rides after 6...Also, has no-one been on Krypt? If so, WHY IS NO-ONE GIVING IT CREDIT? I'll do a proper review tomoz (I WILL this time, promise), but seriously was a really good addition to the line up, shame about the faff involved by I heavily approve...

Seriously?Dear Mack, could you just do Chessie a favour and refurb it please?

3rd train is in pieces on the brake run...Potentially never to be used again

tests, and theming begins!

Random appearance on Young Apprentice... £3.80 for an ice cream? That's VERY Merlin

Exactly...Problem is, you shun away the families from coming, and you actually lose the most likely audience who will spend massively in comparison to the actual target market Thorpe have...Thorpe is literally going to turn into a massive themed funfair at the rate it's going tbh...

Might as well have a minimum height restriction at the park entrance nowadays.What's it now? Rapids, Teacups, Rocky Express, Carousel and Banana Boat? I know it doesn't fit the target market, but kids still get taken to Thorpe.CCR was always good for relaxing on at any rate, it had a role at Thorpe in being NOT an intense ride for about 5 minutes sit-down. sigh...

People who you don't speak to having a problem with you for no reason.That, and pointless lectures teaching us how to use a library and my FYP supervisor not being in.Urgh, just when I was feeling quite good about life again.

Nope, not allowed to wait for the front at all. Possibly due to the turnstile queueing in Italy though, so it might have one on Swarm. Depends how they go about batching really.

In terms of B&M Inverted coasters, Inferno isn't great.But considering that's like saying a Pixar film isn't great, doesn't mean it's as awful as other rides.And Inferno definitely isn't forceless, considering I have greyed out on it numerous times, anything but really. Plus Raptor is definitely better than Stealth, so I reckon this will be better than both.So we now get two great B&Ms to balance out the awful Intamins. Good stuff.

Doubt it because...1 - It has a long queue line, probably enough for 2 hours.2 - It shouldn't be breaking down every 5 minutes3 - It will probably have the best throughput in the park

I do... Regularly... Last year it was dead ALLLLLLL day ;)Year before was packed though and awful... Wasn't in the right mood either... But from working over 2 Halloween periods, it just emptied near enough every day between 5-6... Find out what it's like tomorrow, but I doubt it'll be any different...Aside from Fury, which is ALWAYS queuebound...

Stealth being caught between two superior rides.Just to make it surrounded by 3, I want 2015 to be a B&M.

I want you to work... On Buccaneer... All day... So we can yell loudly at you...

Because it's always empty at about 5/6?

Surely the front offloader should be focused on getting the bars done, rather than finding a two from the queue?Here's what I'd do:- Extend the ramp down to just before the front row queue starts- Have a row batcher stood there- They can ask how many in group/if want to sit at front (if that's even needed, split the ramp into two lanes (there's ENOUGH ROOM) and bingo, don't need to sort that out)- Batcher fills ups at least two trains worth of people in each row- ???- ProfitDone...

YES YES YES YES YES YES!Actual serious happiness here, perfect timing for the annual shouting match on Tuesday... Best be working on it you

Was he? I don't have Sky up here, nor would that game interest me in the slightest...It's not like Chelsea have ever had ref's give them really dodgy decisions before is it?

That awkward moment when a Chelsea fan complains about the ref...

I hear along the grapevine that after last week's incident with Evra accusing Suarez of racism, the entire Utd team will be accusing City of rape...

Going to be a lot more iconic than Stealth that's for sure...

???Lots to be said for living in South London/Stoke sometimes

Buy some Fox's biscuits, not only are they tasty, but they have BOGOFs...

Sod that, was on tv every single morning at the exact time I got up for god knows how long... Urgh... Been listening to this a lot recently, and Pendulum... I blame going out to clubs for THAT...
