Coaster

Grrrr, at least you got Rameses open!

^ I have had that on Rattlesnake before. Can't understand the logic behind it at all as there are far, far more intense rides out there than anything at Chessington!

There were a few times when I was there at the fireworks last year but to be honest the queue never got beyond the end of the station on that day (even though it was busy).

Shockwave has an acceptable throughput on two trains. G Force needs a second train desperately. I found them both fun to be honest.

Yep!

Well on My Bloody Valentine where the maze splits up they directed me the other way, whereas on Cabin in The Woods I laughed at an actor so she made me sit on a chair for like 10 minutes haha! Well actually, she did completely split me up from my brother a different time on the preview night but I believe they were told not to do that unless the people look fearless after that.

I got split up in My Bloody Valentine and Cabin in The Woods on two separate occasions, but I didn't do anything to prevent it (as I didn't mind). In fact it only happened in CITW as I laughed at an actor It isn't too bad though as there are other groups of people around you - if there isn't then just wait for some people to show up.

Too late now anyway tickets are £10 now

On another note, I have already noticed something from Asylum being reused in Studio 13 The bottom of the wall in the photo released by Thorpe themselves (the one with the window etc) is the old "brick" fence from the queueline. How do you know this? And do you know what the throughputs for My Bloody Valentine and Cabin are/were last year?

What gives you that idea?

I've always thought that you lose that sense of fear when you go in a Conga line. It is possible have a one route maze without a conga line though (see Passage Del Terror) but then it probably decreases throughput so you can't win. For throughput reasons I would like to see Studio 13 remain a conga line maze. Asylum always had the highest throughput at FN (as Saw Alive always has stoppages) and I think Studio 13 needs to retain this as the throughput on My Bloody Valentine and Cabin in The Woods is dire.

Sadly they have

It's a shame and something should be done to prevent this happening again. Stronger fence maybe?

I actually want to grey out now! Tried looking back on Swarm (helicopter turn) but it didn't work. I greyed out once on Speed but that was years ago.

I actually like Shockwave and G Force! Two fun coasters and I don't see why they get so much stick just because they aren't the absolute best? BPB could fit in a Mack Mega in their usual fashion (weaving in and out of the other coasters) but they don't have the money. Drayton should get a woodie!

1. Virginia Reel at Blackpool Pleasure Beach 2. Black Hole at Alton Towers 3. Haunted House at Alton Towers 4. Water Chute at Blackpool Pleasure Beach 5. Terror Tomb at Chessington 6.

Chessington has been taken to Court over the Tomb Blaster incident: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29428946

Does anyone know what the Saxophone instrumental piece on the WWTP playlist is called?

Yep I am

Yes but the Asylum layout still changed significantly each year, so there is no reason why Studio 13 can't have a different layout.

I imagine the first and last corridor will be the same layout as they are permanent structures, but the main room will probably have a completely different layout.

Okay now I'm excited.

Some construction photos taken yesterday: Studio 13 My Bloody Valentine It's interesting that there are lots of walls in the skip - hopefully this means that some scenes are being improved. Saw Alive Ministry of... Saw? All photos were taken by me from within the park boundaries. Feel free to use them but please let me know.

Yep the hospital scene was there last year. Sometimes it was lit so poorly you couldn't tell what it was supposed to be though.
