Last time I was at Thorpe, Inferno was advertised as a 20 minute queue but the queue was empty and you could walk straight into the station. With the queue being empty there was still a member of staff standing at the merge point accepting fast tracks of people, so people that had paid for fast tracks were waiting the same amount of time as people in the main queue. I saw the exact same thing yesterday but with Colossus, the queue was straight to the merge point but the member of staff was still accepting fast tracks of people. I'm not normally for fast track, but staff members still accepting fast track knowing there wasn't a queue or the queue is the same length as the main queue with a fasttrack annoys me.

Yeah I noticed that playing today. Also really noticeable how quiet the dispatch theme is now, can hardly hear it when the station is full! Miss the atmosphere back in 2013 when they blasted it out

Yes last year you could buy them on the website, you should be able to soon.

2 more videos released today. I loved the carnival of screams so I'm really looking forward to this maze. Wonder what the 2nd new experience is going to be

Don't think it's been mentioned on here but last time I was there there was an actor walking round the queue with a hissing cockroach, and yes it was real

Out of interest, were most rides open for 9:30?

Any news on Samurai's current state? Is it still dismantled? Are all the parts still there or have they been sent off somewhere?

Nope, loved experiment 10 and is still my favourite maze. MBV is my favourite one at the park at the moment, but I did prefer experiment 10. I only ever had 1 go in Studio 13, but I personally didn't like it, would of liked another run through as you can't really judge it just from 1 go and a lot of people seemed to like it.

Good luck to everyone collecting GCSE results tomorrow

9/10 Nice view from the top of the swarm

So I'm a celebrity was closed all day yesterday and is scheduled to be closed for the rest of today as well. Hopefully the celebrity cyclone will finally be back.

Last year when the mazes were released my bloody valentines location said behind the Swarm. This could be where it originally was planned to be as they thought they were going to start working on the arena before Fright Nights? I think they'll put it behind Swarm.

http://blog.universalorlando.com/whats-new/the-incredible-hulk-enhancement So the hulk improvements are confirmed now, and it's closing on September the 8th, and will stay closed until next summer. Disappointed that it's going to be closed when I go this October, but I'm sure I'll get on it in the future.

So it sounds like the closure of the slide at the end of the maze is now permanent, as it's due to 'guest feedback' rather than the initial idea of it being damaged. Strange idea, wonder if you don't go on the celebrity cyclone at all now?

Yes, it's a B&M Invert

But they look lovely...

I was stuck on Loggers for 40 minutes before an evac. All I was given was a water ride Fast Track, and they were all walk on that day anyway. Depends on the staff by the sounds of it.

Sad news at Cedar Point - http://www.wkyc.com/story/news/local/ohio/2015/08/13/cedar-point--investigation/31663211/

I doubt the reason Storm Surge was closed earlier today was due to the rain as it was closed all day yesterday. It has however re opened this afternoon.

I had never seen X on reduced capacity before this season, but this season it seems to be on reduced capacity than it is on full

That's what I was thinking? Why have they given out free tickets today when there has been many days just as bad. They have all the main coasters open now.

Yes they are, just seen that.

Didn't even know Rush could reach 60 with the extensions open? Probably on 1 swing

3?

9/10 - Reminds me of your youtube channel Good picture of the fire effect (which I hardly ever see turned on)
