    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
  10. 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...
  11. 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.
  13. 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!

    It said roaming actors before, which is why I said that in the video it says that it's for studio 13.
  15. 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?
  16. started and it
  17. Cal replied to Phill's topic in General Discussion
    I wouldn't recommend going to Samurai first thing in the morning as 15 people are needed to ride Samurai, not many people are around that area most mornings and it will take a while to gather 15 people to ride it. You're better off going on Colossus and Saw first as after that there will be enough people there wanting to ride. Slammer doesn't seem to open until at least 11 this season. It will also close between around 2:30 - 3:30 for 15 minutes for checks. It never seems to get big queues so there's no need to go on it first thing

    Falcons fury Detty or apocalypse?
  19. Cal replied to themeparkmad's topic in UK Attractions
    According to the queue time page, it's already back open
  20. Sounds like a load of rides breaking down today! Not sure if I believe that the only 2 things that didn't break down was Zodiac and Loggers though...
  21. Some woman got really confused when I asked for this at Thorpe, then asked if I was joking
  22. Cal replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Homer Simpson Playstation or Xbox?
  23. Cal replied to Dan_Rush's topic in General Discussion
    Hopefully it'll be back for fright nights, it'll be needed!
  24. Cal replied to Dan9's topic in UK Attractions
    If you find Colossus really rough, I'd recommend trying front row. It makes such a difference.
  25. Agreed. I have never had a problem with re riding at Thorpe, and like you said, even if the train is full you can just go behind the air gates again. At Towers it was very annoying, they were using 1/2 trains in the station on Oblivion, most of the seats were empty and they still wouldn't let us re ride, we had to walk all the way around the queue every single time, very annoying. With Chessington I think they should either allow re rides, like thorpe or not allow them at all like towers. It could be very confusing for quests and staff, having to count and will result in delays like mentioned on fury.
