Are all 4 actually meant to be on at the same time? Don't think I've ever seen all 4 on

Samurai
3 days closed really isn't a lot is it? And they have done the best thing posting on there website to let people know. I think Samurai has done great this year, since it opened its had hardly any time closed compared to previous years. I've also had the best cycles I've ever had, its constantly running the longer/more intense cycles this year compared to previous years. Lets see how it does for Fright Nights, I've never seen it last the first weekend.

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Had the same problem on Friday - had the green smoke for around 10 minutes. I really think they need to do something when these delays happens as it leaves a bad impression of the ride, and seems to happen a lot. Other than that last train journey, it was the best ride I had on the ghost train. Staff on our train were proper going for it and made the evacuation seem really real. The train crash part was also really good due to the actors, chasing people and made everyone run. Apart from a 15 minute break down just before we were going on the ride ran all day from 12 which was good, and was also the first time I've seen it with literally no queue.

Fright Nights 2016
New for Fright nights this year - Zombie Academy priced at £50. Not anything I would do personally but can see people being interested in this. Steep price though in my opinion

There is actually a chain on that curve at the top of the lift which pulls the train, if you sit on the far left and look down at the track you can see it

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Yeah it did open around midday yesterday, and then closed at half 1 and didn't re open for the rest of the day. However they did get it open for Summer Nights it seems.

Fright Nights 2016
In previous years they allow you to record the Blair witch project so they probably will this year

Fright Nights 2016
Everyone has different opinions, I've always say Fright Nights is a lot better but last year I'd say Tulleys was better. I'd go Tulleys if I was you seeing as they're all new mazes, but go to both if you can

Fright Nights 2016
The beach was a good location for the bit top because of the interaction of the bridge. With it changing location hopefully we will see a layout change and lots of improvements, as the big top was the worst maze I've done at Thorpe on all my run throughs.

Fright Nights 2016
Bit odd how they have fenced off the whole area for just 1 shipping container? Maybe now MBV has gone they could be moving big top to that location? Doubt it but never know

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Does this explain why the glitching and flying objects seems to get a lot worse as the day goes on? The computers get too hot so don't run as well?

Canada Creek Railway: The Bear Hunt
Agreed. Defiantly can't see loggers coming back. Old town would be the best place for a woodie...
- Why is Stealth unavalible?

The 2016 Thread
On the subject noticed Ben and Jerrys by Vortex was open last time I went for the first time this season, maybe they only open it on peak days now they have Nitrogenie? Not a fan of Nitrogenie so glad it was open

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Thats quite worrying... a throughput of 240 an hour. Must be running on reduced trains.

Park Operations
Nemesis Inferno is expected to be down all day today with Stealth. Tidal wave is also yet to open. Thorpe really isn't having the best of luck with rides at the moment

Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon
Where did you get this from? Was told capacity is 500 and I doubt it was £45million
