Shame it's not on the 7th and 8th of June as I'll be at Alton towers that weekend. Would've been great to meet some of you. I'll try and make one of the other meets this season

Never knew riding Stealth was a talent

Well if they knew they were going to close it and it was operating in the morning it mustn't of been that important, it was just an off peak day so I guess they had a chance to do some planned maintenance.

That wouldn't be a good idea seeing as the platform moves.

Just to clarify, you do take your bags on Storm Surge

Why would you want rumba to get seatbelts?

Keep Keep Keep :) Which side on Slammer? The one that goes down first, or up first?

Noticed today that a lot of rides are now opening at 11 or 12, similar to what Alton do. I assume they will start doing this on weekdays, seeing as they are always dead?

Rameses has always been pretty reliable, a lot more than other rides anyway *cough fury cough*

.... and has closed....

Feel sorry for the people on that...

The 4d cinema looks a lot bigger than I expected! Does anyone know how many people it holds?

Sunday is defiantly the better day on the weekend to go, so the 11th of May would be the better day to go.

I think it is only annual pass holders they are letting in half an hour early, they didn't have the normal turnstiles open at 9:30, only the ones for annual pass holders on the right. Just to confirm, it is all rides. Except the ones that are unavailable on the day of course.

When I was in the que for inferno (just outside the station) the mist suddenly stopped. so I was annoyed thinking that I qued and wasn't even going to get a go in the mist but by the time we were on the mist was back on (both outside the station and in the tunnel) luckily! So maybe after a certain amount of time it goes off for like 2-5 minutes?

Really? when I rode it the mist was all at the beginning of the tunnel rather than the end like I've seen in pictures. Maybe it's just dependent where the wind is blowing...

A rocket lunch on Inferno and now a whole seaon of live entertainment!

I may go to the Thorpe/Legoland meet seeing as it's on a weekend, and I have never met up with any of you lot

I have always been at the same place every swing, either at the bottom or the top to be honest. Vortex is always on the same cycle, so maybe with less weight on it just spins more.

I had a great ride on Samurai, It was on a good cycle and runs a lot faster than it did last year. Never used to bother with the ride before because it was crap but will certainly ride it more now. Only got round to doing it once today as they needed 15 people in the morning and there wasn't anyone around. One of the speakers on the left was very annoying, making a very annoying noise. I agree, people on our row had to move because 2 random people just decided to sit there. The host does tell you what row you are on, but I don't think people take any notice of it really haha.

It had a breakdown towards the end of the day on Sunday so not sure if that was to do with it. It didn't seem out of sync though, was a lot better from what it was like on AP day, but it's noticeable that Swing B was like only just getting to 90 degrees.

Only rode this once due to being on 1 train most of the day and getting up to a 35 min que at one point, having the biggest in the park. They added the second train around about 11:30 if I remember correctly and got added again about 3. Have no idea when or why it was taken off. The mist was really thick and you couldn't see in front of you in the tunnel which was great. The mist outside is also a lot better, when the wind blows at you in get's you wet

Had 3 rides on it on Sunday, all at different times of the day, pretty much all of the seats full on all of them and was really impressed with all of them. The ride has much improved from AP where the ride was awful, where the first couple of swings Jolted and you could tell it was struggling. The ride hardly reached 90 degrees and you only got a couple of high swings. Today was great, getting to higher swings very quickly meaning that you got a lot of them, and the jolted had completely gone. It’s very annoying that the same seats get to the higher point every time, meaning you either get a really good ride or a disappointing one I guess. The operator in the morning was quite funny, singing on the mic etc and just keeping everyone entertained.

Hopefully they are adding something else in there or some more themeing. I don't see why they'd remove themeing and leave it bare.

And I wonder how many people are getting annoyed with you keep saying that
