Just posted on Thopes insta But it doesn't do anything for me?

Angry Birds 4D Experience
Also noticed it isn't on as often anymore, as I walked past it I noticed it said the next show was in 41 minutes, where as it used to be every 20 minutes.

Nemesis Inferno
Agreed. Shame about IAC music still being played in the queue though, even though it wasn't even open. The station music was pretty good, but a shame it was being played so quietly.

Fright Nights 2015
There was soo many dodgy people around tonight, and really did ruin the atmosphere. While we were waiting for containment, people were throwing rubbish and filled up bottles from the top of depth charge down on the floor and near containment. Staff must of shouted at least 5 times threatening to call security, we just said to them 'Please get them out' and they just laughed and said we would if we had a radio. We just had our photo for Saw Alive and suddenly there was an evac, staff and actors were all very serious and got people out very quick and was all caused by someone 'abusing' an actor. When we did Saw Alive again later that night the roaming actors were banging the fense and making a laughing sound (being clowns.) The person in front of us in the queue then started having a go at them, saying 'Come to this side of the f****** fense then' and then attempted climbing over, a member of staff then stepped in and shouted saying if he continues to behave like that she'll get him kicked off the park. There was also other incidents which I won't go in to, but staff just don't do enough. Way too many chances are given to people and lots of people in the park that just shouldn't be there. Anyway, operations were amazing today both on rides and on mazes, throughputs on mazes seem a lot higher than previous years. Didn't see a single ride have a shutdown, but is a shame to see Slammer down again. Maze wise there was one shutdown on Saw Alive as mentioned and one time when we tried to do MBV it was closed due to a technical issue. They said it was due to the lights and it had happened 4 times that night. I will write proper trip report tomorrow.

Vortex
Ah I rode it at around half 7ish, there was certainly a lot more than 4 full swings though.

Vortex
Saw engineers working on it in the morning so wasn't expecting it to open, so was happy to see it open later. Possibly the best ride I've had on Vortex, like said reaching maximum height very quickly. Cycle didn't seem any shorter to me, if anything it felt longer?

Vortex
Agreed, it has run very well this season. Also, all scaffolding has been removed now. (Image from UK theme parks) Hopefully it'll open this weekend!

Samurai
Samurai is back together again! (Image from UK theme parks) Could it open this weekend?

Fright Nights 2015
Went the same day last year and all rides were walk on from 6, and mazes were around half an hour. It was raining all night though so will probably be slightly busier this year

Sea World
That track looks gorgeous

Vortex
Don't know if this was aimed at me, or a joke or whatever. The fact Vortex is closed hasn't put me off visiting at all, I just thought that it was worth mentioning that it won't be available for at the least the first few nights of Fright Nights.

The Smiler Incident 02/06/2015
That new box now has a padlock over it, so I doubt it'll constantly be in use. My bet is that when it breaks down, the ride will need to be reset from that box to confirm the track has been looked at? Can't think of what else it could be.

Vortex
Haven't seen Vortex with this amount of scaffolding before, looks like we won't be riding it in the dark this weekend (Image from theme park incorporated)
