  1. That's good! That's what I was hoping it was going to do
  2. The que time board stated 'Show time in 5 minutes' all day on Sunday. Seeing as there is a show every 20 minutes it would be great to see it count down every 5 minutes of how long until the next show begins. Has it stated anything other than 5 minutes on other days?
  3. These were the que times at 4 o clock, so you could imagine what they were like earlier on in the day. Defiantly the busiest I've been this season... Vortex stated 5 minutes all day, and was easily 20 minutes. I entered the que when it said 30 mins and ended up only waiting 15 minutes. The que was down the side and a little bit of the cattle pen, so yes the que times do need adjusting. I expected the dodgems to get massive ques, but like I said the maximum I ques all day is 15 minutes, which is great
  4. It seems like they're doing this permanently now, was exactly the same on Sunday.
  5. Defiantly the best dodgems I've been on, although I haven't been on a lot. All the dodgems I've been on have had rules which you can only go one way around, and some stupidly (especially at fairs) saying you can't bump. These are great though, you can go where ever you want. The only thing you can't do is head on head bumping. The theme music also goes really well with it, the angry birds go theme. The staff were great on Sunday! Very interactive over the mic 'Red cars are you readyyyy' and very quick at loading and unloading, they were constantly running around. Hopefully this can carry on throughout the summer when it's really busy!

    Samurai

    On Sunday it was dead by half 5 and the que was evaced so assumed it over heated then as well. Didn't open for the rest of the day. Didn't get a chance to ride it then as I planned to go on it towards the end of the day. On my previous visit I was on row 1 and it was great, did loads on flips etc.. Best ride I've ever had on Samurai and that's my only ride I've had on it this year It's a shame I can never ride it in the morning because you need 15 people, and that area is dead in the morning.
  7. If you are paying with your card and someone else is picking the ticket up, all you need to do is write a note saying you give permission for them to pick up the ticket etc..

    Slammer

    No not yet, unless it's up today. They will probably do the signage last minute, they don't want to put it up and then another problem occur. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
  9. Just watched the Britain's got more talent from yesterday on Itv player. https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/britain-s-got-more-talent/series-3/episode-7-audition-7 Quite funny how they took the mick that they had to close the ride etc..

    Slammer

    They're probably just not needed anymore. I assume they only have to do certain tests/checks with the dummies in, and they have been completed.
  11. The thing is though, you walk into the dome and straight away there is chart music again. Yes it's a good thing, but if they're going to do it I think it should be in the dome and around Vortex, Rush etc.. Does anyone know if the end of day theme has come back as well?
  12. A video on the TPM facebook page of the Entrance music back and the new Screen at the entrance. Yesterday they only had the one image (posted above) of angry birds land on the screen, so I am guessing it now changes all the time. Also yesterday I noticed there was no music at all at then entrance, which was obviously in preparation for this. It's looking, and sounding really good!

It's just the camera, same with the image I posted yesterday.

    Slammer

    I didn't see it testing yesterday, there was just a couple of ride staff there faffing around with the seats, couldn't see what they were doing but looked like they were cleaning them. Would of thought if it did open, Thorpe would of put a photo and that on there Facebook? Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
  14. Anyone have any idea why the photo booth is covered in scaffolding and as a result is obviously not open? Don't think they would get rid of the photos on this ride because 1) it always takes good, clear photos 2) why would they do it mid season? Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
  15. Thats all I can remember for now. Just some more effects...
  16. Got to admit, I've liked inferno much more this year than I have in previous years. Also, yesterday they had the station audio from last year on and they were playing the dispatch nice and loudly, and they had the que line audio on for once, but no mist Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

    Vortex

    Was jolting a hell of a lot today! Noticed for the first time that all of the seats had a turn at the top which is good and the cycles were very long today!
  18. Today there was a Windows stall by the entrance of Stealth, and you can play games on multiple windows devices to win an ice cream, toppings and sauce! They said they are going to be there for 2 weeks!
  19. Yeah I was pretty surprised to see it, last time I was there not even the brackets were up. Tonight's job is to put Slammers signage up for tomorrow Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
  20. Yeah think it's been turned down again then, it's defiantly not as loud as it was last season Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
  21. I would rather they kept the one currently, it suits it perfectly! Did last season anyway... Because they are playing it so quietly this year, and now with the angry birds music you can hardly hear it which is a shame . Hope they fix the speakers soon! Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
  22. As Marc said, the effects are amazing. It's really good! Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
  23. It's exactly the same..... It just has a bird on the roof of the photo booth and new signage. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

    Slammer

    A member of staff has just informed me that Slammer should hopefully open tomorrow, if not Tuesday. So annoying it's not today but it's great to hear that it's going to open Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
  25. The new billboard thing at the entrance, I think it looks really good? Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk
