Kerfuffle

and many guests

1) Yes. There are bus services from Staines station that go to Thorpe, so you should be fine with that. Otherwise the park is about an hour's walk away (so I hear). 2) The park is often pretty busy during the summer on days the weather is good, so expect long queues in places if that's the case...especially for water rides. 3) I remember when the Shark hotel was The Crash Pad in 2013, things like stand up comedy was available, so I expect this is one of them. Fin's Bar and Grill (what was Bar 360) and the Coffee Shack will also be open. 4) Like Alton Towers and Chessington, hotel guests are allowed in the park a whole hour before the park opens to everyone else. 5) I think the rides shut for both hotel guests and the rest of the public at their designated closing times, hence why evening entertainment is provided within the Dome. Hope these help.

Winks at others

I double dare you Matt. Just wait til 1:13 and you'll see what I mean.

The faulty microphones were a huge laugh as well when I went last week (although I can't tell if it was part of the act)

Happy birthday Steven!

I got the iPod for my 13th birthday (so about 4 years ago), but the problem started after two years.

How I remember the faulty microphones! ("Turn these on! We're going to have to project this in DANCE! *does a small dance*") I'm so glad I got video footage of it...

My iPod's battery is absolute balls. TWO MINUTES after I take it off charge - "Low Battery - 20% Remaining".

Is not so fabulous.

...because no one wants a water ride apparently themed around a stark naked dragon.

All of this does take time. You never know if (say) Falls' revamp is still on the cards or if they really ARE trying hard to fix Tomb, but it just keeps going pear-shaped mainly due to it being an old ride system.
