Banned because that wasn't funny

Coke mixed with Fanta is my favourite.

So like Josh said, looks like the breakout is now called containment. There is still no details on it except that it will be priced at £8. Hopefully it will be open from 3, as I want to give it a go!
-
No it's not, they would of wanted to get Samurai open as soon as possible. More likely they have only just received a part, therefore they can only start working on it.
-
It is indeed, surely they wouldn't cancel that? You can also still buy day tickets for Saturday and Sunday. Either they haven't updated the ticket booking site, or the opening times are a mistake and it is open.
-
That's annoying, but I can understand why as it does seem a lot quieter than last year. Just hope Fright Nights won't be cut back until 9. It also says its closed on Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th of November? That was originally open till 5 as I was planning to go on the 8th It was open until 6 that weekend last year. EDIT: Josh beat me to it

So that control box has now been completed and has a padlock on it. I originally thought it was a phone box but doubt it now seeing as it has the padlock on. I reckon they have to restart the ride there, so that the track is checked before it's reset? (Picture from Towerstreet)

Interesting they're using both sides of the beach, my bet is that the smaller side will be an uncover queue line and then the bigger side will be the actual maze unless the mazes carries on underneath that bride. Could even be that 1 of them is the mirror maze and it's separate to the main maze? I'm really looking forward to this maze, I loved Carnival of screams and the 5/5 scare rating hints to me there will be something different in there as well.

Apparently 45 minutes is low demand...

I agree with LC, no one knows about it. None of my family know about it for example, and I wouldn't know about it if I wasn't on here. Yes there may be plenty of advertising in London, but it's the sort of attraction people will want to book before they go to London. Like said, if people decide on the day they want to do it, they have to book a timeslot which may be inconvenient for people and therefore decide to do something else instead.
-
Hopefully soon. Don't know why they haven't done it earlier, as I constantly see people asking over facebook/twitter. Wonder what the pricing is going to be for standard annual pass holders this year, as last year it was £10 is you booked it on October. So far I have only seen them mention £5 when people have asked. Personally I think £10 is too much for an annual pass holder.

I really don't see the problem. Hardly anyone is going to go on them rides before 12 on a quiet day anyway. I have more of a problem with Thorpe opening rides at 11 during weekends and the Summer Holidays.
-
Nothing to do with the new Giraffes as like you said it's been opening at 12 all week. It just opens later to cut costs when it's quiet, which is the reason other rides open later as well.
-
It seems very consistent whenever I'm there, more so than other rides like the Swarm. I think every so often (maybe every hour) it stops for a few minutes and then comes back on. I remember once when I right next to the vent effect on the Volcano and it suddenly stopped, but by the time I was on the ride it was on. Could explain why it wasn't on when you rode it?
-
Was back on when I went last Saturday too. Seemed better as well as mist was overflowing out the tunnel. It makes such a big difference when the mist is on

Used to visit Legoland and Chessington yearly from a very young age, and visited DLP twice which I can't really remember. Always really enjoyed visiting them, and I remember stuffing tissues in my shoes so I was tall enough for rattlesnake I visited Thorpe for the first time in 2011 and loved it, and ended up getting my first MAP in 2012, so I'd say Thorpe was the main park which really got me into rides, although Chessington did from a young age.
-
Rattlesnake is still closed due to the Smiler incident. No one knows when it will re-open, but staff have been seen being trained on it.
-
Can't quite make out what it is, but something has appeared at the exit of the BWP. Wonder what it is, can't really see the shed being rebuilt? Thanks to Thrill Nation for sending the photos!

Cage structure? Did you get any pictures? My personal favourite was Experiment 10, heard it was a lot better in 2011 than 2012 but I only did it in 2012. With the 2013/14 mazes, my favourite was MBV. In 2013 Cabin was very close to my favourite, if not joint with MBV but the 2 times I went on it in 2014 it seemed it went downhill. I loved the Asylum, and thought Saw Alive was a lot better in 2014. I thought Studio 13 was awful but I only ever got 1 go on that so I can't really judge it.

Photos from Chessington buzz, but construction has started.

I originally thought it would re-open for next season but with all this happening now I think it could possibly open for scarefest?
