Construction update - It was testing today and at the back they have now added changing rooms. I'm guessing that they will supply a wet suit there seeing as a lot of people don't know it's there therefore won't bring a wet suit when going to Thorpe Park (Photos are from southparks facebook page) To be honest I don't think 25 is that bad considering the throughput that it has, but of course this is dependent on how long you get. Hopefully you will get a time limit, and for 25 I think the minimum you should get is around 10-15 mins. If it does last 10 -15 mins and you get to borrow a wet suit there I will probably give it a go and can see it doing quite well.

Fastrack
The fact that he could of got away with this if you hadn't of posted it on twitter angers me... And the thing is, he's not really banned is he? Anyone could buy a ticket for him and then he could just use that. It's not like all the security are going to know every single person that's banned...

Alton Towers General Discussion
It should be that every day, 5:30 is not enough.

Swing A is the one closest to the control room, RobD explains in his post why swing A ends up preforming better.

Fastrack
I can understand that Fast tracks need to get straight on, if you are paying for fast track and have to queue I can see that dissapointing and understand why people complain. What I don't understand is why they don't seem to have a limit on the amount of Fast tracks sold for a certain time.

I agree. Although I didn't go to Thorpe when they had single riders, at Alton Towers they work really well. It's not affecting the main queue either. I think single riders work really well on rows of 4, instead of 2. I understand they couldn't really have it on Inferno anymore because they don't have space for the queue but if there is an unused que, like on Saw the ride, why not use it?

It was probably just due to lack of staff maybe? They didn't have enough for someone to be in the queue?

2014 Season
I'm going to miss listening to loud chart music in the toilets What music is playing, the entrance theme or the music from the new video?

Chessington General Discussion
Both of them are now back in operation. I agree about them needing a third major coaster, but where would they put it?

It's in the new 'Island like no other' advert, but part of it is a remix I believe.

Looking, and sounding great in my opinion. Can't wait to see it on my next visit!

Rumba Rapids
Although a re-theme would be good, even with a re-theme, I can never see this ride being great. After riding the rapids at Alton towers last weekend, I just released how bad Rumba actually is, it doesn't exactly do a lot. The rapids at Alton towers doesn't have a lot of effects or is well themed, but I had a lot of fun on it, a lot more fun than I'd have on Rumba anyway

It was open all day on Sunday, not too sure about Monday. I was checking the que times at the park on my phone on Sunday and it said it was open?

The Smiler
On the weekend, both on Saturday on Sunday I got in the que at about 9:30. On both days it went round at about 9:45 with 2 staff on the front row then when they got to the end (outside the station) after about 5 minutes someone came out and evaced them there. Anyone know why they would do this?

2014 Season
It's 15 minutes earlier. Everyone is let in at 9:30 and annual pass holders are at 9:15. I find it quite beneficial as there isn't many crash pad guests. Can get a few rides done at least.

Really impressed with how the entrance is looking now, looks a lot better than what it was before!

That's a shame as it looked really good, like Josh said hopefully they could find a solution somehow and we could see the red back in the future!
