What were the bars/trains like before the forwards evolution to 'X' because I can't remember... But this issue of single riders could get out would have been an issue since it opened in 2013 :/

If you're sat by yourself, the worker used to push the bar next to you right down, and then in theory you could get out.... So while annoying I can see why it was done - I hate rules that are put in after they realise a mistake though... Should have been bars like Ben10 with bars around both sides of the legs rather than in the middle, that way this rule wouldn't be needed.

It was running, and they just chose to close it by 6pm.....

Okay so Cabin seemed a better run through than last weekend. And well Big Top, rated it 2/5 last Saturday, 4/5 Sunday, and would give it a 5/5 tonight, so many little improvements which was so great... Still seemed to be having lots of technical difficulties though, left the fast track queue and got our pass to return later as it kept stopping, then we went back later and got evacuated, about 10 minutes after got back in fine.

Could be both I didn't have a choice so fast track was the answer aha!

Just because somewhere shares something... Doesn't mean they've made it up! If something was sent to you or seen it online, you may as well share it for speculation, as no one has a clue, it could be right! :/

Just started the evening off with MBV... Woah, so much better than last weekend, loads of smoke, tonnes of actors everywhere!! Got some fast tracks (because who queues on a Saturday!?) for cabin and big top later, let's see how they compare to last weekend

The fact the actors at towers can now touch you, has already made it a lot scarier, that was the let down in comparison to Thorpe... Their themeing and effort has always been in a different league to Thorpe!

The red band did light up (well must have been UV or something) inside the big top I noticed... And we did all get split up and picked on more, but I personally would judge that on just generally being a better run through and not one person in your group with a band as they themselves didn't actually seem to get picked on in particular.

Big top scared me........... so there's a likely chance the Towers ones will kill me off haha!

judging from some reviews on TowersTimes... I am absolutely terrified!! Sub species, multiple routes, split up to maybe even by yourself... TOTT scarier than before... and Molly Crowe very effective being blindfolded!

Been reprogrammed... I'm so annoyed it didn't move at all the time I went, I wish I got to experience it when it was working properly... I bet it barely moves now well I'll find out next weekend!

Oh in that case then... B&M wing rider or flyer

Are they removing / replacing track on the first section though? If not then it leads me to believe the second half is being rerouted to make space for future investments? And also with the rumour of lap bar trains maybe to make some of the inversions more comfortable at a higher speed etc. Thoughts?

Most likely Easter opening I reckon... But Easter is end of March in 2016 anyway so would seem reasonable!

the birthday one I recieved in 2014... the ones I got in 2015, are for use any time of the year

merlin annual passholders can prebook friends & family tickets over the phone for £24.99.... or if you're a premium merlin passholder you can use your £10 bring a friend vouchers, but that doesn't guarantee entry if it's full.

I still don't understand why on earth they weren't advertising it when opening, focusing in on the worlds only tag line! am gutted it's closed... was really looking forward to riding it in the dark in fright nights or last day of season

I wouldn't go just for the drop ride aha... The whole experience of the dungeons is great though! The drop tower has always been open when I've been, to be fair nothings ever been broke... only the boat ride closed for scheduled maintenance apparently...

So it replaces the Sweeney Todd scene like the Jack the Ripper did back in the summer?

Has anyone done the Halloween seance yet as I heard it's running for all this month, going next weekend to check it out.0

Haunting Of Molly Crowe, confirmed as blindfolded for all of it except the finale room... and rated 6 pumpkins whereas the maximum rating in previous years was 5...

going on saturday... let's hope the big top is finished by then

It was closed Sunday evening when we went to go in it I must admit I love the idea of it, but the seats are far too violent and give me a headache!

I paid £2.70 for a single at the weekend... Sorry I don't know how much a return is... I'd imagine it's cheaper than 2 singles
