Hehe, and I wonder what their reaction would be if they all had to stand behind the turnstiles at the gates causing a massive crush as the park opened...

Did "we"...I think the past 3 years of operation care to disagree with your viewpoint...And breaking airgates is not the most idiotic thing staff at Chessie have done...

No, it does NOT "need" to go... Why Chessie would get rid of their signature ride god knows... Stop being silly... And before you try using Corkscrew again to argue against that, it stopped being a signature ride in 1994...

Because Tussauds are cheap and realised that the replacements for Samurai back then were awful and they thought any cheap ride they could get would be an improvement...Alas, Fabbri are USELESS...

*Stretches out arms as wide as possible whilst saying "Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis big..."*It varies each day depending on how busy guests think the park is and how much the park pushes the passes... Last Sunday the queues weren't too bad really for example Express Pass wise...

I loved doing Karaoke yesterday for my birthday last night at the Croydon Reflex <3Now I get to look forward to Saturday's epic jaunt to Chessie... <3Life is loving it right now... Great week <3

^Cheers Mikey! This is where it all goes downhill now though

Unexpected happy times love life <3

No, but it is above the Vamp station...

Even the best dispatching in the world cannot prevent a 70 minute queue it seems on Sunday... Dread to think what it would be like on a busy day (15k+), but I don't blame the staff (unless a staff member broke the third train, in which case I do)...

Peep's photo...

Some Pop Candy dealie... Sommat like Dib-Dabs... Peep took a picture of it so hopefully he'll put that up when he can...

Dragon Falls has new awesome looking signage...But it has a sponsor now, dunno how much it's thrown at you on the actual ride though...Shall have to see next time...

Never? Even if the queue was like, 20 people?There's a definite cut-off point for it... If the queue reached the cave that's when I would make people come through regardless... Though it also depending on how I felt that day... Meh...

1 - PR stunt, as it was Friday the 13th yesterday, a few weeks ago they announced Thirteen would not be open... Then on Thursday they said it would be renamed for the day...2 - See above...3 - Yes, yes the PR stunts are pathetic...

OMG, THIRTEEN WON'T BE OPENING TOMORROW, BUT FOURTEEN WILL BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Yep... I went for the first time earlier this year and enjoyed it, even if I didn't get to experience Kontiki...Just remember it's not a big park and is designed for kids in mind so don't expect greatness... But hey, it's a good fun place and also has Meerkats...

Meh, customer service can really shove off if your ride has a full queue-line and you have selfish people whinging about not being able to sit in a particular seat when really there's fairly little difference between the rows (imo)...Whenever it was busy I did annoucements informing people before loading, and sometimes during to enforce points to people... It works unsuprisingly...

The handbags are well and truly out for this ain't they?On an amusing note, England are losing against Hungary... Lolz ensue...EDIT - Haha, amusing times...

Quoted for Truth...Love Griffins, epic music, epic ride, just fab...Get rid of that crappy Zamperla attraction that annoys everyone involved and it can get the attention it rightly deserves...

Having air gates causes bottlenecks...Not having air gates also causes bottlenecks...It really is a no-win situation for Chessie cos of the obession with the back row... As well as the lack of space they have to play around with on the platform... Sure there was a plan to bring them back, but dunno where that went...

Why are we discussing the possibility of Chessie getting a new Pirate themed area when it already has one?

Use the old entrance... It's really that simple (plan-wise)... As effectively I would have Express Passes following their current route down the steps and under, whilst the regular queue would just turn right and join up to it's current location...That's it really... Unfortunately a lot of work would be needed to make the old door usable for what I would want... A shame...Continue the theming added to the queue, whilst making the rails actual gothic style railings over the purple efforts we have...The next big thing would be to actually hide the tin building by placing a facade on it... Be it a two inch thick piece of painted wood or not, just would be 10x better than what it is now... Making it look like an actual castle/mansion/whatever it's actually meant to be...That's it for now...

I know this, hence why I said that it wouldn't happen... Though I was more about the queue entrance and general theming more than anything...Though apparently one car is still in use somewhere at some undisclosed park...
