  1. I didnt know oblivion could work with 2 shuttles. I always assumed 4 was its minimum to make sure the computer was happy with trains being in blocks.
  2. Yes the MTDP probably has changed but to register something under reserved matters requires it to be stated on the approved MTDP.
  3. These rumours started back in august from 1 lead engineer. I think it got a bit out of hand seeing as screamscape and south parks have done a very similar news report thing on it. The credibility of the statement is questionable also the fact no planning permission has been submitted, as its not on the MTDP I dont think they can submit it under reserved matters so to start ground work now before they have even submitted planning permission is a bit odd.
  4. Charmaine Matthews How to beat the system for reserve n ride for a group of you.....Each person can register and then each person reserves a different maze (as you can only reserve one maze at a time)...plan it carefully between you all in your group and can get all the mazes done...We did! fab night! Like · Reply · 2 · Yesterday at 00:43 THORPE PARK Official Thank you for the feedback Charmaine, thrilled to hear it worked for you! Like · Yesterday at 11:59 That is from the post about RnR in the comments. To me it seems that they approve of the idea as they didn't condemn it in anyway and instead thanked them.
  5. Thorpe park approve of abusing the system by using groups. Just read the facebook comments.
  6. Great I now have to travel to heide park. Oh well should be a fun trip. I feel music is over looked too much, good music can turn a good ride into a great one. Something I actually think Thorpe does well compared to most parks.
  7. New trains to Colossus may even convince me to return while RnR is active. I have to say that music is lovely, I sort of hope it does become the new theme as that would change the entire mood of the area. Take a way from the menacing current vibe and make it more of a lost city feel with mystery.
  8. That link did work, if that is new the theme I will approve of it. As long as we get new trains with the new music I will be happy.
  9. You probably would have been able to experience all of them with out RnR. It doesn't create time it just lets you wait in a different order. The only way it would allow you to ride more is if people at the beginning of the day were unaware of the RnR system. This would be the only time it would allow you to ride more. So come the full introduction of this those extra rides you got wont exist.
  10. I don't think a meeting about 2015 changes would feature talking about a change in music for Colossus.
  11. The cant change the Colossus music, its the best sound track merlin have. Also refurb top spin referring to the movement of ripsaw?
  12. Sounds like the same problems as the early swarm trials. Also judging by social media response it was all the same problems as the previous days but smaller. With fastrack only having to wait 45 minues today rather than the 1 hour 30 minutes of saturday. Doesnt help with thorpe park supporting groups all reserving different rides and getting on all of them 1 after each other. Read through the comments on facebook and you will see that they support the idea of people doing that. Disgusting in my opinion. Also it seems to be fastrack allocation over fright nights is set at 50:50 from the wording thorpe park were saying today. Not sure if that was a mistake or the real allocation but something to think about none the less.
  13. 200ft tall zacspin with top spin preshow.
  14. People didn't even wait for Millennium force opening day for 4 hours and that opened with 1 train.
  15. If I do have constructive feedback I send it via email, to have a valid point in 140 characters is quite hard as I like to explain things.
  16. Mantis was good but it will be far better as a sit down so not sad to see it go. Also Thorpe park seems to be doing a sort of tweetup thing today like cedar point does. Its one tiny step towards improving.
  17. Yes, but I was asking a valid question. They have been refusing to answer what happens if you don't have a smart phone for weeks. Also I'm not moaning at them any more, due to the lack of activity on here today I decided that I would just discuss it with the general public. There were a lot of complaints from yesterday.
  18. It seems to be working better today, still the same problems as yesterday just on a smaller scale. They have also taken the very wise move in ignoring me on twitter.
  19. They will just be using it as a barricade, seems to be that was the only thing they had available.
  20. I reckon that they will continue their trail tomorrow. Regardless that it went down like a cup of cold sick.
  21. Hadn't even thought about facebook, twitter was a great laugh and quite a good read, strongly recommend it.
  22. Can I say I told you so yet. It will work like that when the real thing comes along, there is no solution to the problems they have. I feel sorry for anyone who was robbed to go into the park today.
  23. Looking at twitter there were a lot of complaints. I have never seen anything get so many. I was going to count them but as I went past 50 I lost count. A lot of people spending £25 of directors cut to be met with 1 hour 30 minute queues demanding their money back. Someone who waited 3 hours virtually to be met with 2 hour queue. People who arrived at 5 for the mazes ot find they had to wait 3 hours and couldn't use RnR. Interesting one I came across was someone who waited 35 minutes for guest services to complain. Thorpe Park did a lot of apologising over twitter this evening.
  24. I don't think RnR went down to well today as they seem to have said this a lot this evening "We are currently working hard to minimize all waiting times. Please feel free to visit Guest Services for further assistance."
  25. They couldn't close the standby queues as anyone without a smart phone today was absolutely... Did they really have no option for people without smart phones, I know they removed the card system yesterday but did they really not have a replacement. Anyone in a 4 hour queue for a maze must be absolutely furious by the end of it.
