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.

I do prefer the original piece but it's still really good, it's good that they actually did that, so it's still in time. Can't believe it now takes a minute for it to get to the top now through! Still a great ride though

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.
