    Not surprised to be honest. There were also a load of complaints on facebook tonight, they were telling everyone to go to guest services so they can discuss in more depth, and to properly give out fast tracks and make the queueing worse Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

    I doubt he did want to reserve rides from home, he probably meant how can he check the queues for reserve and ride at home. Don't think people are reserving rides at home, as that would be completely pointless. Even if people did I doubt it would be a large part of the issue, seeing as hardly any people would be. They could only do 1 reservation at a time.

    All you have to do is go to https://www.reservenride.com/ and sign up, unless you already have a login for the summer. You then put in how many people are in your group and you're done, just select which maze you want to reserve.
  5. Cal replied to Marc's topic in General Discussion
    Yeah they are all on can't reserve now, so taking it it's like that for the rest of the night now. Then if you want to go in a standby queue there will be a stupid amount of fast tracks and people using reserve and ride resulting in the queue hardly moving. So glad I'm on on park today!

    Very, very high wait time for reserve and ride today. All queues are now above 4 hours, and the highest being cabin with 5 hours and 5 minutes. At least it seems to working today seeing as studio and saw both had 0, or 10 minute wait times all night. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

    This 'new rule' wasn't implemented on Sunday. All times I've rode slammer this year I've had the restraints a couple of centimetres above like LC, as otherwise it's painful. I've always found they push down the lap bars as far as they can and then just tap the shoulders. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

    Well that's annoying! It said unavailable all night on the queue time boards! Didn't go anywhere near it after 7 as loggers and rocky was closed! That would of been great, oh well Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

    I have no idea, but at the split up point they seemed to be only letting us through the left side, not right so I'm guessing it was somewhere down there. There was also a load of actors at the end and one of the staff never came back out so they were probably still cleaning it/ fixing a leak there. Annoying as I wanted to go right, I went left earlier Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

    The reason for that 'break down' was because one of the scenes flooded, causing someone slipped over. The main reason for them though are guest actions, like Flipper explained. They say it's closed due to technical difficulties though haha.

    When was the Blair witch open last night!? Every single time I walked past it, it was closed and then the queue time boards stated it was unavailable for the whole night? I kept checking haha. At what point did you walk on MBV? I went on it first but I waited outside the arena for half an hour before? I queued an hour for it later on at 9, and that was from the shop! Was meant to be a 25 min queue, and I thought it was going to be less than that. It had 2 breakdowns and 1 was when we were the next ones on. We only queued 20 mins for Cabin but the same thing happened, we found the secret control room with about 12 people squeezed in.
  14. Cal replied to JoshC.'s topic in The Past
    Bearing in mind we queued 45 minutes in the fast track queue in a so called 60 minute queue, I couldn't imagine what the actual queue was like haha. The throughput is dreadful! The first actor was too busy doing her hair rarther than trying to scare us and at one corner, we bumped into 3 actors having a chat not realizing we were there. Nope, the tunnel was still not working last night.
  15. Cal replied to JoshC.'s topic in The Past
    The best maze this year for me was MBV by a long way! Thought Studio 13 was pants, Saw alive was alright, Cabin was good and my bloody valentine was by far the best! Blair witch was closed all night because of the rain I think, I'll do a trip report at somepoint soon, but I'm pretty busy at the moment.
  16. Cal replied to Phill's topic in General Discussion
    Defiantly seems like they're waiting for a part at the moment. No cherry picker outside, no engineers or staff were sent to the ride all day. Just a 'whoops' sign outside saying that it's unavailable. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

    I'm pretty sure it won't be leaving any time soon! Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

    1) Nope, you just buy the one ticket, valid from 10am to 10pm which will include mazes as well 2) 2-for-1 tickets are valid as long as it doesn't say 'Not valid at special events' or something like that
  20. I'm going tomorrow, and like said this happens every year and have never been on Samurai at night Oh well, I'll try again next year...
  21. Cal replied to Phill's topic in General Discussion
    Apparently Samurai was closed all day yesterday with a cherry picker outside, still isn't open today. Happens every fright nights I swear (https://www.facebook.com/themeparkguide?ref=ts&fref=ts)

    Looks like the same ride announcements as last year have returned! - http://instagram.com/p/t8Qs2QMTes/?modal=true I did like them last year so I'm glad they've returned but I'm hoping there is new/better queueline music this year.
  23. Cal replied to JoshC.'s topic in The Past
    It was the staff only night tonight, fright nights preview and have just seen 2 posts on instagram... Very positive comments, making me even more exited for Sunday!
  24. Cal replied to JoshC.'s topic in The Past
    It said roaming actors before, which is why I said that in the video it says that it's for studio 13.
  25. Cal replied to JoshC.'s topic in The Past
    How do you know this? In the video at 3:28 he said that it's for studio 13?
