wouldn't it be fair though to have 2 investments, one for family (fish retheme) and new flat ride (for the thrill seeker / up for it families)... realistically I would say fish stay where it is, but as it's closed now I don't really see why unless they got plans to take it out of working order and then to move it... alternatively wasn't there the topic about flying fish closing early ready for maintenance for when the resort attempts february half term opening (which suggests fish wouldn't be rethemed/moved)... I know it's all rumours and hope I'm not reading too much into it

I can't see the beach being changed yet... Potential things / spaces Flying fish (scorpion express treatment) Hippo safari area new ride... I can see both of those realistically being new for next year... Then hopefully a new coaster for 2016, as any later would be a complete pain! Canada creek, and the back of the park as well the island are potentially locations for a new coaster... Plus with samurai or slammer maybe packing in suddenly, there's more available space... and with the arena area potentially large enough for a dark ride which is realistically the only place one could go. so really no need to touch The beach at the moment as its still popular with families, until the full hotel is built and shipping containers are gone, as the beach area and area where the shipping containers leaves a large area for new lands/rides.

People driving that pull out in front of you and make no effort to speed up

It's a good idea, but I just can't see them moving fish as it's too much effort for them, unless it's genuinely going to be advertsied as a new experience/attraction like scorpion express at chessington. EDIT: but then they could just update it where it is if necessary as it's hardly taking up any useable space.

Sorry for double post... No smartphone? Don't worry, you'll still be able to join the queue for the mazes Taken from the website... So, no card version this time, and there will be a normal queue available as well - and apparently fast tracks will have to be bought through the app?

I almost died a bit inside when I seen the date 17th It was great when I went for the first few hours on a day this year as not many people knew about it and they were queueing and the system didn't work properly and had an instant ride now on every ride so just kept going, but then got really inaccurate and annoying by the afternoon!

there's some of us being sarcastic about having an inferno sub-terra... but I actually think I'd cry if thorpe decided to get one. but... I'm not even joking... please... top spin!

Thorpe really don't need any more water rides...

Inferno Sub-Terra*

Top Spins tend to be in a pit?

Thorpe posted it earlier, thought it was new... My bad

Does it work the same way on normal fright night days for annual pass holders... Or do you have to get a ticket from the ticket office by showing the printed ticket and your annual pass, as it will be so annoying with the queues to actually get your ticket let alone get in!!

I don't know a lot about placement of supports and stuff.. But surely that could be 1 of 2 supports which meet... and guessing a path would go underneath that part?

Alton towers video for their ultimate scarefest sleepover was better, thought it was hilarious... Thorpe's is good just a bit boring!

It is a bit annoying how they say it's to do with health and safety... But they just pick and choose what suits - now the ride op on the platform wouldn't have gone out of his way unless he knew he could have got in trouble for it. I just think Merlin need to decide what rules they got and why, and make it consistent throughout the parks!!

Now although I'd much rather see a RMC there... That's actually a great idea! ^^

The Batcher said it was fine... shortly after once the restraints had locked the ride op stood on the platform, said we've already ridden twice and we can't ride again, so went to the booth and asked the operator to stop the ride and then got the key off them. There was nobody in the queue, but the time it took to stop the ride and climb down to undo our restraints there were then a few cars worth o f people waiting. But I would say most of the time dragons fury was being sent round empty, so don't presume you know how busy it was as you weren't there...

It's how we got to the end of station before the lift hill and the ride assistant went out of his way to get the member in the booth to stop the ride, get the key, stand down on the ride track to use the key and unlock our restraints... Ridiculous!

The last time (before it broke for ages) that I remember riding it was fright nights back in 2011, and the first time I ever rode it was 2009... Now to me it seems like it's as intense as it has been and any ever remember 3 each way, although 4 does sound good

I didn't ride every ride... But the only ride I didn't see working is the safari skyway which we know is closed for the rest of the year.

Didn't seem like it...

Really quiet today... Longest I had to wait was about 5-10 minutes and that was for Rameses to get enough for the 15 people rule to balance the ride or some rubbish like that... Besides that I pretty much walked on everything all day, so did really enjoy it! Seen a sign in the rattlesnake queue TV scream saying about new for 2013 creaky cafe aha!

Mod Edit : went way off topic,so split from Dragon Fury topic to a shiny new one... Didn't realise there was a rule on only being allowed to ride twice in a row before having to get off and go back through the queue to health and safety!? We asked the Batcher to go for a 3rd time and she was fine... Then we got to the final section before being sent off and one of the other people on the platform said we cannot ride again and had to stop the ride and get the key to unlock our seats and made us get off. Apart from that annoying rule.. The ride was running amazing and spinning fast!

Vampire seemed a lot rougher and more Jolty than I've ever remembered
