    Happiest staff member at Thorpe park? https://instagram.com/p/4IIbg0E_z4/?taken-by=k_pashen
  4. So according to TowerTimes and TowersStreet, Sub Terra reopened today after the recent design update. It now has new thigh restraints and a lower locking lap bar, and because of the new thigh restraints large numbers of guests can no longer ride it. They've also said there are no longer actors (which I think has been the case since the start of the season) and the throughput has gone downhill. Doesn't sound very good at all, but I can only assume this has been done for safety? EDIT: Just seen on Twitter that they are telling people it's closed tomorrow. Making changes again already?
  5. It was haha, and painful Luckily I only got 1 lap
  6. Think I went on the worst roller coaster I've ever been on today, it was this, but Monty Hammonds travelling one in Hastings.

    It reopened this morning

    It varies everyday. They aim to get every ride open by 10, there are no specific opening times for all the rides. They do however seem to get more rides open earlier on weekends.
  9. Cal replied to Mark9's topic in General Discussion
    They aren't saying when it'll reopen, they are just saying until further notice. I doubt it'll be open for a while.
  10. I'm sure the bus pass thing will be fine. When I collected my annual pass earlier on this year, they didn't ask me for any form of ID.

    I know they let people with Friends and Family tickets in for ERT, so I assume they will let the £10 tickets in as well
  12. Alton towers commented on someones post on Facebook...
  13. Oh dear, prepare for another article.
  14. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/alton-towers-accident-two-more-5864073 Both rides are now open.
  15. Cal replied to Ash's topic in General Discussion
    It's open now
  16. Cal replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    Nope that's not true, it was closed for 1 day (last Friday) but since then it's opened every day
  17. Cal replied to Phill's topic in General Discussion
    2 rotations each side? When I heard of an awful cycle, I didn't realise it was that bad.
  18. Not sure if it's been said, but Sub terra is closed due to a design update, quoted from Alton towers facebook page. Interesting.
  19. Cal replied to Mark9's topic in General Discussion
    Yeah I guess. And if they have added new safety protocols like they have with Rattlesnake and Fury, staff would have to be re-trained.

    According to the theme park guide, Saw has been testing today!
  21. Just watched the whole thing and like already said, that women was horrible. Ignoring what he was saying, and kept saying the same thing. Felt sorry for Varney in that situation, but he did a good job.
  22. Cal replied to Mark9's topic in General Discussion
    They are however closed today, according to the queue times - http://www.chessington.com/plan/today-at-chessington.aspx Strange how they've decided to close 2 rides which aren't even by the same manufacturer, but I can see why. Strange they were open yesterday though.
  23. Cal replied to Mark9's topic in General Discussion
    It seems the park have been giving a free return to the park as Saw is closed.
  24. I saw on social media the other day they said you can still complete the big six challenge, as they would create a QR code for you to scan to complete it. Strange they seemed to of scraped the big six challenge now.
