  1. No idea, since I've only been once, in June...Easter holidays could well have a say in the matter though... But as Chessie wasn't busy, asking the opinion of anyone on here isn't definitely not accurate...
  2. HOLY CRAP! That wave is.... HIGH! :)But the mouth... It so blatently is meant to be in the way of the track... WHY is it not Heide? WHY?!!!!
  3. I hope it hasn't been, otherwise major negative points go to Heide for failing...
  4. Zeus is by far the busiest, but also the Log Flume, Grand Splatch, Transdemonium and of course Oxygenarium can all receive long queues of doom...Aside from that, only other major ride is Goudrix... But I'd aim for Zeus first before anything else...Take in the awesome shows and Madhouse as well... Well worth it...
  5. Too many comments spoil the broth...

  6. ^I've already seen your pics and they are FAB...Pic 44 <3 Post that please so can I rep you

    Video Games.

    My main issue was that you'd ponder about for a bit after Megaton then end up finding some random beastie that's 10 levels about you...Give me GTA for expansive piss-aboutery

    ^Fallout is a bit... Meh... I never got into Fallout 3... It was... TOO expansive from the off (after the Vault), and sometimes games need to be linear at first in order to ease the player in for level-building in order to take on the rest of the game...Just like Dragon Age - Origins is for me... I need to get back into it again cos it does look quite fun, though being a Rogue is possibly the worst choice, but meh... Morrigan <3
  9. People are just idiots...Surprised how some people are able to dress themselves and actually leave the house...
  10. The counter is preset by the engineers, and is usually set between 60 and 90 seconds...Of course, a while back the operator could cheat the system and allow it to not be affected by the timer... Those were good times...
  11. That's because Tidal Wave actually has a decent reason for being waterlogged...Storm Surge, based on the version I did at Asterix... Is just waterlogged for being poor at draining... Asterix's certainly didn't have the trouble being reported though I cannot for the life of me remember what they did... Plus as well, Storm Surge involves sitting in the puddles, unlike Tidal Wave...
  12. I have my set price with her... She gets no more as otherwise things would start looking suspicious... :(Plus some Durex may be more useful for her Sorry dearie, I'll keep stum from now on
  13. Holly's a bum, she works on the streets
  14. ^Well as you're staying at the hotel you get ERT anyway...BUT... I'm not sure when the Woodland Walk opens... I read 10am recently so no... Which is annoying but hey, least you can just get to the Monorail...
  15. And once again a discussion will rise as to why we have to be praising the park for things that should be happening anyway...

  17. Actually one of my best moments at Thorpe in the past few years was on the Banana Boat...Cha-Cha Slide <3
  18. My dad ranting and raving at the tv these past two nights...It's only football, just because it's United and Real Madrid doesn't give you right to have a stupidly high amount of rage at them for apparently cheating every two minutes ¬¬
  19. Fury runs lower capacity during rain because if it didn't it would probably have a block shutdown or sommat... Either way similar happens to Spinball...And WHETHER!!!! Not weather ¬¬
  20. They need to fix that... Just get a few more Tensa barriers in there and stick a staff member at the entrance to check APs, and have one manning to back to double check anyone who may jump under...God it's easy this lark sometimes

    Ride Seatbelts

    This is... arguable... As if this was the case, then NO rides would have seat-belts...This is why seat-belts are known as fail-safes... The chances of a restraints rising mid-ride are EXCEPTIONALLY rare (cannot stress this enough), however, in order to ensure top guest safety and security many rides do have these seat-belts... It's amazing how much difference these actually make to guest's perceptions of safety as well... They DO make a big difference...Whilst they probably don't need them, it's really affects guest experience... Saw doesn't have them probably to be part of the whole 'scare' experience...
  22. I think they mainly changed it due to maintenance issues more than anything... Though don't hold me to that, since it happened when I was becoming an enthusiast so I wasn't into the whole info thing...But it just suffered a lot I think back in 2000 and hence they made the decision to close it for the year and just completely redo all the electronics/trains/station/etc...It is a shame that it's not nearly enough the same thing as it was now, and it would be nice if they redid the station again (as they REALLY need to put the airgates in line with the cars), but I can't see it happening unfortunately...
