  1. Yet again they failed to put it on their website...
  2. What more did you expect from a merlin owned park? Seriously though, the prices are similar to that across the park already, it's not like it's a new thing.
  3. A few plastic figurines don't cut it for me, but I will reserve judgement until the area is open.
  4. It looks okay, but I wouldn't say it fits in with the rest of the area. At Stealth you have a proper shaped green sign (the baggage hold one etc...), here it's just stuck on a grey shed.
  5. Coaster

    It's appalling that Thorpe don't have anywhere on the website saying that it's closed. Thanks for the update
  6. I see what you mean now - yes extending an extra hour due to crowds is good but not at the expense of park operations. Blackpool seem to manage both and they are a family owned park, come on Merlin!
  7. Nope, as I know of other UK parks that have extended these holidays despite having good operations.
  8. Yeah they aren't very good. They riled me up a few weeks ago by removing the second train about an hour before park close. What's the point?
  9. Not really sure, it does strike me as odd to be honest.
  10. That's good as long as they are prepared to move queues. If they aren't then they don't deserve the custom.
  11. Good for Legoland and Chessie - what the hell is wrong with Towers?!
  12. I'd imagine that Alton Towers paid them to have Smiler prizes up there. Out of interest, was Shockwave operating two trains with a queue like that?
  13. How come? There are tons of mirror mazes in parks without any form of line on the floor.
  14. The only time it would need a good throughput is at Halloween as it rarely had a queue otherwise.
  15. The world has gone mad! Is it really worth ruining the attraction just in case there's a fire? Personally I'd hope there were procedures in place to stop such an event happening! On the subject of a powercut - send some staff in with torches!
  16. That airgate rule is ridiculous. You only have to visit any UK park outside of Merlin entertainments to see how health and safety conscious they are.
  17. I'd like to see other parks introduce a policy like this to be honest.
  18. I disagree, I thought it fitted in with Inferno well. It most certainly doesn't fit into a kids area based on the fact that it's an extreme thrill ride!
  19. Stealth seems to have been cut off from Amity Cove now, which is stupid. It was the area of the park that worked best IMO.
  20. Why do they have the line on the floor? It completely ruins the point of it being a mirror maze.
  21. Crap. They've replaced well themed buildings that had small touches to generic painted colour ones. I hate this investment.
  22. Hmm, this sounds like more family attractions to me. (That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I'd like to see them focus on thrillseekers now).
  23. That's great as it was dire!
  24. Is this where "The Restaurant" was before?
