I am treating it as speculation, I'm not taking it as fact.
-
He was aware that the smiler wasn't having a washing machine element hence why the aerial photos where censored. He has good links with merlin and often knows more than the average enthusiast on future things. He isn't always told the correct stuff all of the time but he generally has a good idea on what will be happening. I do agree though that it is repeating information we already know.
-
He said there was a washing machine element so people wouldn't speculate about a record breaking number of inversions.
-
They got the information from there summer visit and the recent fright nights trip. They do have good links with merlin and as a consequence they do have to throw in red herrings so they can release information. That article will be a mix of truth and a related plausible lie.
-
Its all of them, the arena, fungle, nemesis inferno shop and calypso bbq and all of ranger county will be made way for a massive dark ride exceeding £20million. According to south parks, set to open in 2016.
-
just go on the website, make an account and then you can book rides. Or just use it to look at queue times. They are all on cant reserve now but before that they were at , 5 hours 5 minutes, 4 hours 42 minutes, 4 hours 25 minutes, 4 hours 11 minutes. If people managed to do more than 3 mazes just using RnR then they know something the rest if us don't.
-
Cabin became so high its now full. 5 hours 5 minutes would bring the allocation times to 10:15 so maybe that wont be opening up again to RnR anytime today. Seems a bit stupid to have it so you cant go on a ride 5 hours before the park closes unless you join the very slow moving main queue.
-
I'm not going, that is what I just said. I only complain about things that are easy to get right and RnR for the very idea of it. All of my points are highly valid and at the moment I am quite concerned that the park I had been enjoying for years is about to get ruined by a stupid gimmick which makes things worse.
-
They were surveying a load of areas of the park. The arena, the fungle site and the island behind swarm. I don't think that surveying them was too significant. Also removing trees often requires permission. We are pretty much in the dark until we see some planning permission.
-
The only viable place is the arena/x site for a dark ride. As I have stated many times to get permission for the fungle site would be quite hard. Thorpe are restricted in where buildings can go because of flooding and one of the reasons the swarm doesn't have a roof is because of flooding but it is also something to do with fire regulations.
-
Its the way I type in why it becomes trail and not trial. You have been able to reserve for all the mazes all day, Thorpe mentioned this in a comment on facebook. Its just that now they are full.
-
No you seem to be able to reserve. Must be part of the trail. I can see today going down even worse than yesterday. 3 hour queue before its even opened.
-
I dont see how it is a trial in anyway. Its in a completely different set up to how it will be used, the dynamics of the people in the park is different. All this trail has shown so far is that the system has no idea what the throughputs of the mazes are resulting in long queues for the RnR guests and anyone in the main queue to have a really really bad day. I guess it has also shown that if you don't have a smart phone Thorpe park don't care at all about you because of the loss of the card system. I knew full well that they would remove the card system to save costs and they reassured me that it would be in full use across the park whenever RnR was in use. Once again thy have lied to me.
As per usual they are ignoring the hate they get on social media. Seems to be much more this time. I guess that is down the to the 3 hours of virtual waits. And as per usual the people who like the system like it because of the faults in the system making there day better. Like the lack of people using it at first, the glitches saying the queues are full and then empty. If anyone believes that there day would have still been good and that they would have gotten on all the mazes if the system was working perfectly then please do explain it to me.
-
I meant that reply for marc but I'm willing to put tweeting at them and being at the park today at about level. I hate RnR after the 3 trails ive been to I refuse to go ever again with it active. The last 2 years ive been to thorpe a lot and the rides are no longer something special, especially after going to america. Customer service is awful and I dont like horror mazes.

You have way more faith in Thorpe park than anyone else does. The extra allocation was just system problems. Saw and s13 kept reseting to 0 minutes when they shouldn't have been so people like you were benefiting. I was watching it for a long time, citw and mbv were consistently at the 3 hour mark.
They don't care about customers at all. They justify all the complaints with "oh its a trail", when I was complaining at them on twitter I got a rather rude response (yes I know I was being annoying to them) but they are a company which should be taking the moral high ground and being kind to their customers to encourage them back rather than saying "oh aren't you charming". People will see that response and I don't think Thorpe will come away looking very good, sarcastic comments about a complaint.
Ive had enough with them, its highly unlikely that I will be returning to Thorpe anytime soon. I would prefer the extra 3 hours driving to go to alton or BPB.
-
The people who caught saw and s13 when the RnR was 20 mins probally liked it, but it was only like that becuase of the glitches it was having. If anyone can honestly say that waiting 3hours 21 minutes virtually then being expected to wait 20+ minutes when you get there is good then you must have some kind if mental condition. If the RnR was actually 2 hours for the mazes then you really are mental if you think this system is good. The early trials on swarm had the same problem, waited 2 hours to find I was then forced to join a 50 minute queue.
Coaster jamie please do let thorpe park know, via twitter and by email. So many people I know hate the system and thorpe think its 100% perfect. The more people they hear the truth from the better.
-
2016 is a high investment year, not necessarily a coaster.
-
I don't care about the main queues because come the real thing they wont exist. It is all there to maximise money at the cost of customer experience but the general public seem to be stupid to realise what they are doing.
-
You cant RnR any more. It closes so the last allocation is 30 minutes after closing time. Another place they are trying to save money by making sure crews are done by 30 minutes after closing. Its a cash grab the entire RnR system. Spend more in shops, save running costs, attract new people by the gimmick of a queue-less park.

Or 2016 dark ride in the arena spot.

Let them know that. They are in this illusion that everyone thinks it is perfect when the reality is far from it. It will never work no matter what they try. They need to let the idea die.
Yeah it keeps glitching, so things are becoming unavailable then no queue, its alternating between the two.

People waited 4 hours for a maze in a physical queue??? They waited longer for an average maze than people waited for Gatekeeper, millennium force, maverick, Nitro, TTD, kingda ka opening day?
