Fair enough then, I'm only talking from my experience here where the single rider queues seems to run well when I'm there. On Nemesis in between the time when the train got dispatched and came back in the staff looking at the bays and then noted what rows they need to run single riders to. As soon as the air gates opened, they let the single riders on and the single riders seemed to be quicker to get in there seats than guests from the normal queue line as they had to go to the other side of the platform to put there bags on. This therefore is not slowing down the throughput at all.

On the majority of rides like Oblivion, The Smiler, Thirteen and Air throughput are not being decreased, nor are they having to pay more money for staff. On all of these rides there are batchers anyway, who batch both the normal queue and the single rider queue. Only on rides like Nemesis they slow down throughputs sometimes, and most of the time from my experience I'd say it doesn't.

Ooooo, fancy

And on Rita, 1 min 45 to 1 mins 50 secs.

Anyone know if Rumbas photo booth is open again yet, last time I saw it, it looked like this. Shame if they don't have it open now seeing as it's good weather.

I could imagine it working quite well on them, especially on Samurai you always see spare seats.

I've went on X loads last year and never faced this problem? Was there only 1 person in there or was there just not enough places to put bags? If it is because of that there is still loads of room in there, so they just need to get more bands.

It opened the day after you went Was only down for the one day and a bit the day before.

Thanks for that, and the main reason I'm going is for the rides, so I'm fine with that I agree about the ride closures, I assume they would do a lot in January and February when it's dead?

.... And it's fixed

The thing is though that shouldn't of affected all of the other rides, they could of just stopped it on Saw. Also, this could of been resolved by making it so people couldn't go under it, or even simply put netting there.

It was indeed chrome and windows, Marc has already fixed it though now That's great, thanks

It was indeed what Thorpe said themselves, yes. They don't need to employ an extra staff for single riders, the batcher sorts them out. Where was the single rider queue for Saw? Is it just the current Fast track one? If it is then people can still do the exact same, go under the chain.

Ah thanks for that. It isn't booked but were thinking of going next October. Only the sky ride is meant to be closed this October so hopefully there shouldn't be any main rides closed next October. I doubt we are going to the Disney parks to be honest, just the Sea world parks, Universal parks and Wet n Wild. Can just hope that none, or minimal main rides are closed. We would be going in the second half of October, the 14th for 2 weeks. Hopefully it shouldn't be too busy, heard nothing bad about October, so far

Does anyone know how busy this park, and other parks in Florida, tend to be in October? Also I know that this park is open 365 days a year meaning that rides could be closed for their yearly maintenance. Does anyone know if they tend to do their main rides during October time or it happens earlier on during the year? Thanks, Any comments would be appreciated.

I've only ever used single rider queues at Alton Towers and I think they're great! I never went to Thorpe park at the time when they were using the single rider ques for some of the rides. Every time I've seen or asked why they got rid of it they've always said people misused it. I just saw this on Facebook replying to someone. How were people misusing the system? The system is for people who are willing to ride alone, I don't see how it can be misused? Also how did this lead to slowing down the queue for everyone else?

I think it's just down the operator, one out of the three times I've visited this year it's been on. One of the times It kept going on for like a second but then it just stopped back and went to the sound effects. The sound effects are very annoying and just doesn't suit it at all in my opinion. In the station the music has been very quiet this year and it's mainly only been playing the dispatch and then silence between loading. I hope they start putting the main theme on in the queue again and I'd love to hear the dispatch theme nice and loudly like it was last year. Whilst on the inferno topic, people who have been recently is the mist still working on or has it given up?

I know they run at fright nights, and I'm not sure about summer nights as I've never been. I can't see it being worth it for them running busses as a very limited amount of people go to summer nights?

Yayyyyy I thought the reason they moved it is because of the photos though? Is this not happening anymore then?

Loving the new website Marc, and everyone else who has spent time on it Loving the new archive section of the website and just the overall look of the website. I also like it how when listening to audio, it doesn't open a new tab. One thing I noticed that was quite annoying which is once you have watched a video, say Stealth's TV advert for example, it will keep playing until you actually stop the video yourself, even if you close the video tab. Is there not a way that the video will stop playing once it's been played, it won't keep playing? When you play the 'Vortex - Pre Load' It doesn't play and comes up with this error message. Also, do you have the music played when Vortex starts spinning, before the main track? The last thing I noticed was that Stealth's main track has gone, the launch theme! It used to be there? Thanks again though, it looks great! EDIT: Don't worry about the other Vortex theme, I've found it elsewhere

Make sure you book online, at the moment Thorpe park are doing a deal if you book online with a group more than 10 you will get free fast tracks for the Swarm! Have fun

Ramesis! By far! Sonic Spinball or Dragons Fury?

The music was really quiet when I was there as well. A shame as it's great, it really fits in. It would be nice to have the music played in the queue as well, as far as I'm aware there are no queue line speakers.

I didn't know they could take 2 boats off? Every time I've been this year it's been on 2 trains and didn't know they could actually take 2 boats off at once, only ever thought there was room for 1? Hopefully it will be back soon, this is the sort of time it's great. Normally on days like this every time I walk past it I cool down in the splash zone
