Its cheeky nandos time?

Its for protection. No one is going to go and attack a crash victim where as there are some people who would attack or discriminate against a 14 year old attempted murderer.

It had a day towards the end of last season were it kept rolled back twice due to some fault with the launch system. That is the last time I was made aware of a roll back but again that doesn't mean one hasn't happened since.

I don't think this has been linked before http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jun/10/kay-burley-interview-with-alton-towers-chief-gets-more-than-1100-complaints

The RnR site is just a basic website which is easily viewable off site. Why it is not an app with push notifications and only works on site is a mystery. However that is a rant for another time and another place.

Well there is no surprise there then. Also are you able to use RnR on all rides today? Or is it just the way the site is displaying it.

Nearly all AS exams are over and a large majority of GCSE exams have finished. A level still has about 2 weeks left.

Would strongly advise that if it is active when you are there you use it. Even if it is a pain to use it, it will get you far more rides than if you didn't.

The first trials involved no stand by queue and only operated on the swarm and they were a spectacular failure on almost every front. Technical problems, over allocation of people, no one knew what it was and so many people either missed out on the swarm or thought they had to buy fastrack. That was a really unenjoyable day, having to wait 2 hours virtually to be told it was an hour queue we had to join or we were not getting on the swarm at all. Saying that there have since been worse days with RnR.

The way the system works will be that the virtual wait will nearly always be longer than the main queue. Everyone on the flat rides and even people in other coaster queues can be waiting virtually for the coaster in question. As a result far more people are trying to ride the coasters than there were before.

If it doesn't have a standby queue and the system is under allocating then seats start going round empty. However if it does have a standby queue and the system starts over allocating then the main queue slows right down. A loose loose situation.

The RnR virtual wait should always be longer. Unless you mean the physical wait for the RnR queue is 15 minutes.

Not quite sure what you mean by that. RnR is doing its job there in making all queues a similar length. Although by the sounds of things they can hardly have anyone using it.I'm sure it will be positive reviews all round in that Colossus queue.

It's just not a very busy day... I will say that RnR seems to handle pretty well when there are very few people there, but then you don't need the system as it would be fine anyway.

I'm never going to stop complaining about it. Its something I feel passionate about and so I'm going to talk about it when someone disagrees with me.

Unless its anything like the previous times when everyone uses it and then you may be able to get on 2 maybe 3 of the coasters. However it could of course be like the times when people have enjoyed the system which is when no one uses it.

I don't think it's rush's cycle that is the problem. It's that it doesn't seem to be able to give a full swing. The arms never seem to go beyond 90 degrees anymore and when they do its only one swing.

Looks far nicer than the current version. I've always wondered what does the percentage on the crowd calendar mean and will that be making a return to the lovely new tile version.

It would seem investors are not having a positive outlook on today as the Merlin share price has fallen lower than what it was on the day of the incident.

Gerstlauer have been in the news. Search the name on Google and they come up in recent articles. They all say that they built new Texas giant and killed someone. They just haven't been on TV.

I know I'm normally very against a lot of Merlin's decisions and the way they run the place. However they way they are handling this is very well. Not sure why Varney agreed to have an interview with sky but he did handle it very well. The media will always exaggerate and ask difficult questions(especially when that person has no knowledge of he subject and won't accept any answer than the one they are looking for).

when I originally posted it didn't have that, it was just 4 rides closed if which 2 were at chessington.

I know saw is shut but why is this affecting cwoa. Is it related at all? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-33025024

Oh by no means do I believe it, I was just passing on what was said.

Agreed. Stupid bit on their behalf, the person who posted it claimed he was unaware of the smiler incident at the time.
