That's good, it's been a while. Has it got the queue line audio yet?

You can now book it online - https://www.thorpepark.com/events-experiences/events/flow-rider/ I guess if there are spaces on the days as well you just go there and book it, then go back later.

Well as the Asylum is going, I'd expect another place to take it's place but I don't think this is the case this year. A sign has been put up and if you look at the bottom, you can only see the 4 mazes. My bloody valentine, The Blair witch project, Cabin in the woods and Saw. (Photo from - http://instagram.com/p/qCpg5GF1Gc/?modal=true) Maybe we will see another maze, and they are not revealing it yet but as this sign has been put up it's making it seem very unlikely.

Everyone knew it was going to happen ... THE PRICES HAVE DROPPED Haven't been to the park while it's been open so I'm unsure on how popular it has been, but on their website it now states 15 quid per person or 12.50 per person for a group of 4 people. To be honest I thought the original price was good, so I think 15 pounds for an hour is actually really good. I may try it out next time I go depending if the person with me wants a go.

Happy Birthday Matt

Ketchup Ketchup or Barbecue?

According to the queue time app both Tidal Wave and Storm Surge are open right now. Tidal wave with a 90 minute queue and Storm Surge with a 10. It would make sense if they did extend the opening of Tidal Wave seeing as it has been down all day (again), so maybe they kept it open for extra time so people would be able to experience it, along with Storm Surge. Good if they did do it, if not then it must be a fault with the app? There's no messages on Facebook about it.

What ever happens to Rumba, do not change the music

I did prefer X's old music to be honest. With this years, you can get good music but you can also get bad music when you're on the ride. The lighting is so much better this year though which is good.

Yup I just tried to get mine and they are sold out already Oh well it's only a fiver I guess haha

Doubt you will be getting any re rides on weekdays at the moment. Year 11's have left and there are a lot of people going for school trips at the moment.

Went past a fair in my town today which is currently being put up, it opens on the 3rd. I've always had really bad fairs to be honest, and never had this fair before, we had the other fair about 2-3 weeks ago. Unsure of the lineup at the moment but they have an X-Flight which I've always wanted to ride. Hopefully I will get down there at some point Link - http://www.johndavisfunfairs.co.uk/index.html

I personally didn't like it, it's like to open if that makes sense. Always been my worst maze. Most people enjoyed it and it was a lot of people favorites, still don't understand why.

I agree with you, I thought the 'You're next' actors were dreadful compared to the roaming actors in previous years! The only time I noticed the roaming actors were good was when Cabin in the woods was down so all the actors from there were all in Amity Cove. It would be nice to see some themeing around the park, although it wasn't 'scary' I thought the lights on Stealth and the trucks in Amity Cover with flashing lights and smoke in were quite cool. I thought that the audio on all of the rides were quite good, I liked how it was the same sort of theme on all of them, the director speaking. It would be nice to have some better queueline audio and other audio while the director isn't speaking though to create a better atmosphere. It still states on there website that they recommend that people must be over the age of 13 to go in the mazes so I don't think it will affect the mazes at all. The Blair which project was a lot tamer than the others so that could be used for family's I guess? With the whole push on the family market, I couldn't imagine there being really scary roaming actors this year, I can only see them doing similar to last year which is a shame.

Fair enough, never noticed that one before!

Where is it? Would be good if they did start using these...

The Smiler Submission or the Enterprise?

The 4 four lionsgate mazes are defiantly coming back; The Blair Witch Project, My Bloody Valentine, The Cabin in the the woods and SAW. It doesn't say that the Asylum will be returning, I couldn't see it returning after what happened last year anyway. Hopefully we will get another maze there

Banned because you're playing the banning game

Either the coaster on the Brighton pier (don't know the name) or RIta.

Don't worry, you still can When the rides over the operator will unlock them from the console, they don't need to unlock them all individually.

Slammer hasn't yet opened today according to the app Apparently people got stuck on it for half an hour yesterday according to someone on Instagram, so not sure if that's true. Hopefully it will be back open soon EDIT: Slammer has re opened this afternoon

It did indeed re open yesterday at some point during the day. I don't think it was ever mentioned on the forums, but Zodiac now has a new system on the ride. You cannot just undo the seat belts anymore like you used to be able to. It's now got a button on it to release the seat belts and the operator has control in the console to lock or unlock the seat belts. It's just a lot more safer really, not saying anyone would but you could of just been able to open the door while the ride was in operation.

Chessington are now doing Behind the scenes animal tours. It's 2 hours long and it costs 125, which includes theme park entry.
