You can use it to compare to itself of which both have a downwards trend. While the parks are normally quite at the beginning of summer they are never this quite.
I went to Thorpe on Sunday and longest queue I waited in was one cycle on slammer and that was because the airgates were closed. There was no one at all. The weather was a factor but it still should have had more people. 30-40 minute queues is what they should be getting but instead it's 15-30 minutes. It's the same story at Alton. Attendance is down significantly and while I expect it to pick up it won't hit the normal summer levels.

Didn't think they had that much space or money. Will be interesting to see what it is considering they are advertising 2017 already.
-
It's a common complaint about Europa. All my friends who went in the summer said that the queues were very long.

Apart from samurai closed and tidal wave for a few hours everything was going good once it opened. Stealth,vortex and nemesis inferno opened late but apart from that it was all good. 2 trains on everything even though it probably was not needed.
Time to replace samurai I think would be my only negative/suggestion to improve the day. Otherwise jolly good show.

Dome is closed due to a fire alarm. Made a swift end to my lunch.

I understand where Jamie is coming from as I used to be in that mind set but I just stopped visiting as much. What was once 15-20 times a year is now 2 or 3. Get yourself out to one of the better parks and then you will see what Thorpe is. Then just visit less and save to go see more of the better ones. It may seem odd and something you don't want to do. You still get an adrenaline fix and don't have to put up with Merlin.

Still short of a few hundred pounds if you want to go for more than 1 day which presumably you would.

You can buy on the gate, but there is a risk it's sold out.

I'm sure more would pay for dinner than breakfast. They should be open for both really. They need to focus on guest satisfaction and they are not going to achieve that with 9:30 to 6:00 people don't like getting there for opening. That can be seen from the queue times. People are more likely to stay late than arrive early.
-
Could be worse, I know someone who went today on a school trip, paid £35 and did a grand total of 1 ride in the space of 4 hours.

Anyone know how long samurai has been closed for this time round?
-
Oh I meant I had the paid version. No idea if its on the free one or not. Had the paid one for so many years...
-
Paid version of fraps for me.

It all comes down to how paramount park is done. It certainly has very good chance to blow the Merlin bunch out the water but if it does or not is yet to be seen.
No new attractions and rising gate figures isn't exactly an insensitive to build more.

They need 12 coasters all with a 1000+ throughput, that would really get through the crowds. However never going to happen, just like a few small scale dark rides and the train coming back. I reckon an airtime thing would suit the park best however that could be hard to sell with Thorpe's terrible marketing team. They can't even sell a concert of some popular musicians to 2000 people.
-
Ahahaha that sonic fence is just funny.
-
The ride does have 2 levels. Both of which are above ground. (Could have more but the lack of space means only really a max of 3 floors) The pit they are digging is also stated on the plans for the sole use of maintenance.
This ride starts on the 2nd level as on the plans stairs are indicated on the way to the station.

Is the only way to ride Colossus today via RnR? It's closed on queue times but open on RnR with a lengthy 1hr 40min queue.
-
Swarms fire has been working for a long time.
Throughput for a ride is irrelevant? If people wait 2 hours for saw because it looks good they get off and its a let down then the person will be quite dissatisfied. If saw had a throughput of 1700pph then the ride would struggle to ever reach a 2 hour queue so only waiting an hour for a let down the customer wouldn't be as disappointed so would be happier and more willing to spend money in shops. If all rides had a higher throughput then all queues would be shorter people would be happier and again people spend more.

The energy to evaporate that much water would be incredible. They would treat it some other way. Just think how much energy a kettle uses to boil about 1 litre of water then think how much water they would have.They can always try evaporating the water. Scientifically speaking, when salt-water is evaporated, while the water condenses, the salt remains in a small pile. Would this have the same effect with the powder they use?

If it is a coaster of some kind I expect footers and track before the building is done so we will find out some details at some point. There is no notable footer locations on the current concrete then again they could just be added later despite it being non conventional.
