Ride Accidents
A very serious accident in Disneyland Paris today on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, he was trapped between a platform and a boat. The child had lost his balance and fallen overboard. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2480448/Boy-5-fighting-life-accident-ride-Disneyland-Paris.html

How Busy Is It Going To Be?
I personally think that it will be quite busy, but what I can recommend is to get there for when it opens and go straight to Colossus, then saw as allot of people still go the other way. You should be able to get on both of them straight away. Once the mazes open the coaster ques will definitely die down. You will be able to at least do all the rides once.

Ughhhhh that's so annoying! I tried that! But it wouldn't open so I assumed it was a staff door of some sort, thats so annoying!

Colossus
Really enjoyed Colossus on Sunday. First of all in the morning they were running two trains. Which must have been the first time this year I've seen it running 2 trains in the morning . Next, I rode it twice and both times I found it incredibly smooth, even my friends agreed with me! Maybe they have done some work on one of the trains because it wasn't was on 2 trains the while day 2 weeks before. Anyway I also noticed that in the que line they were playing this song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYEC4TZsy-Y Anyone know why?

Fright Nights 2013
My review of Sunday the 27th INCLUDES SPOILERS MBV Been both ways now as went on it 2 weeks ago. Thought the tunnel way was allot better, seemed longer plus the air bag thing was quite cool. A lot of actors in there but I don't like how there is no end to it? You just sort of walk out. I suppose they could of also made it a bit longer. The cupboards you got locked in was a good idea to add time. 8.5/10 Cabin in the woods Went on this maze twice, had to fast track it the second time because it had an hour and a half que and had to do other mazes. Didn't find the control room so was a bit disappointed . Was a great maze as there was actors everywhere, there was even 3 in 1 room! The bit that really got me is that 3d room, and an actor like blended in and just came out of no where haha. The second time I went on it though they were letting far to many people in there at once, trying to increase the throughput and there was just people everywhere, spoiled it really. I guess the second time you also know where the actors are going to jump out at you but was keen to find the control room, but I didn't First time=9/10 Seccond time= 6/10 BWP We started queing for this around 5 to 6 and the que want all the way around loggers and we qued from about where rockys express was. They said it was going to about an hour but the que moved really quick and we got on around 20 past 6. Really good the fact that you don't have to que very long. There was about 5 actors in the whole thing including 2 in the shed at the end. It was very predictable where the actors were going to be in my opinion, good for kids I guess but even for them theirs not enough actors! 4/10 Saw Alive First time I've been on this maze since 2011 and it was amazing! Can't really remember the last time I went on it but I think it has much improved, fast tracked this one because it also had a 90 min que but was definitely worth the 5 quid. The actors seemed to be picking on my cousin alot, at the beggining they made her click a button then send her to the back and later on they made her let go of me and she had to go like by herself for abit. It was packed with actors and all the actors were really good! 9.2/10 Asylum Didn't get round to doing it on Sunday, purely because it had a long que and it's not my favorite, did it 2 weeks before though and it was alright I guess. Theirs no like jumps in this maze because you can see them. The only bit I really enjoy is the ending when you get chased out. 7/10 Overall though it was a really good day even though it busy, coasters around an hour and a half but died down when the mazes opened, rides around 30mins, mazes around an hour and a half but what made the day really good was being stuck on loggers leap, that was alot of fun. Got given free fast tracks for that as well.

Rumba Rapids
Yeah it was really dark, but you could still see a little, I didn't really enjoy it, well I don't enjoy it anyway. The effects at the end were turned off and it wasn't the normal rumba music, which made it even more dull.

Logger's Leap
Well after this happened, around 11 it drained again and didn't open for the rest of the day. It felt quite weird being on a lift while the water was drained

Logger's Leap
Got stuck at the bottom of the first lift hill for about 10 min, with 2 boats in front of us and another on the top of the lift hill. They then got the ride back up and running, so all the boats in front of us went to the next lift hill, except us, we got stuck at the top. There was 2 staff with us at the top telling us what was going on,we had to to to the next lift hill to get evacuated because you can't really jump out on that lift hill because the steps are too low. The water at this point stopped running to we had to wait till they got the water back on before we could go to the next lift hill. We were up there for about half an hour speaking to the staff at this point and everyone else had been evacuated, there was no boats behind us. An engineer came and got us down this lift hill. We then got to the second lift hill where there was a staff waiting for us, we then had to wait until they turned the water off again for us to jump out our boat because it would of rocked to much for us to get out. 5 mins after that we jumped out and walked down the old CCR track to the station where we got given free fast tracks. It was actually really fun and nice to be able speak to the staff for ages at the top, everyone was really friendly.
