Benin reacted to Mark9 in Parks, Rides And Coaster News
Hey we're Intamin, we will build whatever ride you want, wherever you want because we love pushing boundaries and being daring and experimental!
Although this is in no way confirmed but if it is true.. well... all I'm going to say is this is what happen when you don't go B&M -

Ah, remember that season where Bash Street Bus spent about 75% of it closed and then Marc said Thorpe had better reliability because of this. Those were the days.

So. I was reading TTF and a member posted
Now, I'm not an alarmist and I'm going to take that with a pinch of salt so far. I know fastrack is going to be added to other rides in the park but if what this person has said is true then it's quite possibly the stupidest decision Chessington's managers could ever come up with and quite frankly I desperately hope they re-look at it before they and impliment it.The issue here is simple. Fastrack can only work on rides if it has a throughput that can manage to still get through the main queue, a standby queue and any exit riders that may come to the ride at any point.I'm going to start with the ride that will be least effected, Toadies. That could just about get through the people and have no issues. It mostly has a 5 minute queue and the cars are big enough to be able to fill up seats and pair people up if need be.Jumbos is an issue. It's a very popular ride and realisitcally it struggles at the best of times. It's queue can spring up very quickly during summer and its not uncommon to see 40 minute queues.Toadies throughput is 260 an hour and Jumbos, if you're lucky, fast, reduce the ride time and are able to fill all seats has a throughput of 250 an hour.Truckers will not be able to take potentially three seperate queues. It's absolutely ludicrious that they can even be thinking that fastrack on a ride that you have to work bloody fast on to even achieve 200 people an hour is a good idea. The only possible way an operator on Truckers will be able to operate that ride in summer is for the trucks to only go round once. That is poor value for the amount people may have to queue. So yeah, Chessington, think of the sanity of your operators here. Trucks is a nightmare ride at the best of times... -

STOOOOOP THE BOAT! Dan you're on your last warning, next time you advertise your site on here you're getting a week ban. Especially posting pictures from areas accessible to the general public and calling them exclusive. And to put you out of your misery they're refurbishing Smarties Castle into a Sales and Fastrack unit. Big wow.

Benin got a reaction from Coaster XTREME in Madame Tussauds London
Following Merlin is obviously very bad for my health, considering the amount of times they've caused me to head-desk due to a new addition...
