    Looking at Twitter looks like chessingtons send off for this ride was a joke! Just glad I got to ride the original....
  2. James39 replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    Agreed. I probably won't actually use them. Interesting that even today nemesis fast track queue was nearly as long as main queue when I was there!

    I had a great day....and everyone got 5 priority passes to use next visit I think, so all good!
  4. That's what I thought but they confusingly said the park would be open selected Saturdays from beginning 2016
  5. Just noticed a tweet from TP tonight Saying they will be open selected Saturdays from early 2016, not sure if they meant just the annual pass building or the actual park? Assume very limited rides would be open if it were the park

    Assuming my mind wasn't being manipulated by Derren Brown I saw it operating and swiftly rode it just in case it broke down again! Still operating now according to queue times website.
  7. James39 replied to Artie's topic in The Past
    30 minute queue currently
  8. James39 replied to Artie's topic in The Past
    Slammer is currently operating!

    If you time things right you should easily manage it all in two days. Last hour before close generally a bit quieter and always get in a queue just before close at 10. Half term week very busy though!

    Also noticed last couple of nights the police have been on site, walking around with security? Seems to be a general presence rather than responding to an incident

    Noticed queue for big top spilling out of entrance towards storm surge around 6.30 this evening. Advertised as up to 120 mins. Bit of a problem with flooding between tents 2 and 3 after a downpour, staff desperately trying to sweep water away with brooms as part of maze underwater. Guess that's what can happen if you put the maze on a swimming pool!

    One of the other poster characters is Cherry Pie. There's also a lion tamer, knife thrower and two twins on other posters, need to look more closely next time! I went through Big Top at closing on Sunday and agree it was superb! By far the best of my 3 goes so far

    Was good to ride samurai last night again though sloooow operations doubled a 15 minute q Big top looking better, were all those hanging punch bag things in the third tent fun house before? The little booth with the man In that was outside between tents 2 and 3 is now in tent 2. We were rushed through and caught up with another group which spoilt it due to a previous estop and then it being past closing so they were rushing everyone through. No chainsaw at end!!!! Hope that's a one off! Last scene the clown dressing room had a great clowns silhouette which was a dead ring for professor burp, have they nicked a prop from bubble works? Lol

    Could be, but the actors were interacting really well with us on the bridge between maze groups until staff told us to move along. They have a member of staff there all the time to prevent you stopping in the bridge.

    The height of the stilettos on some of the females was amazing, they could barely walk without risk of a broken ankle!
  16. James39 replied to Jack F's topic in The Past
    Quite enjoyed the big top last night, especially as it was nearly walk on and we were in a group of only 4! Much more theming needed in the tents though... Reckon there were 6 actors in the whole maze, any idea how that compare to other mazes? Quite unique having the bridge over the maze to watch people moving between tents but a bit of a missed opportunity as you keep getting moved on even if no one else on the bridge. Assume that's something to do with health and safety?

    It's totally unacceptable and their communications to customers during e stops and breakdowns are also a joke. The host in the queue told me in Blair Witch during a breakdown that I knew as much as him about what the problem was and how long it would be, I told him that was a totally unacceptable level of communication and customer service, he just said go to guest services! The amount of times I've left a queue only for the ride to restart 5 mins later! Appalling customer service generally. I'm just glad I live very close and have a pass. Such a shame because there is so much potential

    Seems like the only days worth going for a decent experience are preview night and the Friday and Sunday of the weekends before half term. Too busy otherwise.
  19. James39 replied to Jack F's topic in The Past
    Does Blair Witch suffer more e stops than others? On both thurs and fri we were sent back due to an e stop. Was advertised as 120 mins yesterday but was 60mins with e stop and quite a lot of fastrack.
  20. James39 replied to Jack F's topic in The Past
    Long queue for BWP yesterday when it opened advertised as up to 120 mins, took me 60 minutes with a breakdown due to actor being punched. After that at around 8.45 only queued 20 mins for Cabin and Saw. MBV was nearly walk on from 9.30 too. Generally seemed around 60 min queues up to around 8.30 ish when they died down. Queue boards were not adjusted though.
  21. James39 replied to spoon's topic in The Past
    Yes because most people are in the maze queues, but only during the weekends before half term I think. The rides have mostly been walk on in the evenings then from my experience. Not during half term though when everything is busy!!!

    Zodiac was the wheel of fortune on dispatch announcement
  23. James39 replied to spoon's topic in The Past
    Saw a couple of groups with wheeled cases dressed in black with Thorpe park badges heading towards mazes late this afternoon. I reckon they were the actors for the staff event
  24. James39 replied to spoon's topic in The Past
    Thoughts on the prop with all the white drawers on it currently outside containment? See picture 21 little drawers with handles
  25. James39 replied to spoon's topic in The Past
    Scarecrow has a huge rat next to him Although good, the theming is still only around calypso bbq. A lot more is needed!
