  1. 1 train op should never happen. 0-5minute queues are better than 15-20minutes. If you had 0 queues people would spend more times in shops so more money and people wont be robbed for fastrack. They will be more likely to return and guest experince will be improved. Alton very rarley do 1 train, I'm sure europa never do 1 train, nor disney or cedar point. If they want to be good then 1 train op with 45 min queues need to stop.
  2. Or you could be let down with a top spin Anyway there is no room there for a dark ride, the boundary of the land boarder is very close.
  3. The way they phrased it seemed like they were pretty sure. Anyway ill just go back to worrying of the idea of a call of duty or fifa experience on park.
  4. Southparks confirmed yesterday that neptunes beach is getting work done which includes a more permanent double flowrider.
  5. It seems to be that Neptune's beach is getting some heavy work done to it over the closed season, hence the closure of the flying fish. So maybe we will a new children's flat opposite the fish like on the mtdp.
  6. 1 train op strikes again. A multimillion pound company should not be running rides on half capacity at any time. Give the guests a better experience and make the queues non existent. For a park focusing on improving guest experience this is not the way forward, and if this is down to them thinking reserve and ride will solve the problem they have another thing coming.
  7. Its not the same as the stealth situation is it with 3 trains?
  8. 4 per group member with £10 return each despite being annual pass holders.
  9. Yeah you do, I already tried that saying that they were just paying me to go away, so they just "paid" me more.
  10. No matter how much I don't want to I think I have to agree with that. The day of nice pizza appears to becoming to and end.
  11. I'm fine seeing kfc go as a I really like the chicken places from merlin but I cant justify the annual pass discount to see pizza hut go. The fact pizza hut is getting extended is a bit of a concern but I don't see why Thorpe would care about expanding it if they were not going to benefit from it sometime soon.
  12. I hope it never becomes a pizza pasta place as they are always horrible. Pizza hut is far nicer as is buger king vs burger kitchen. Burger kitchen is one of the worst places ive eaten in my life. The longer the shops stay as brands the better.
  13. Loggers is something like 1000pph and I think the rapids is similar.
  14. So many better layouts could have been made instead of saw.
  15. By the sounds of things you have a low g tolerance. Pretty common.
  16. You know what I meant when I said claimed. Your just trying to be pedantic.
  17. They are forced to remove them on rush and vortex however I did see the same person get on saw and wasn't made to take his legs off.
  18. Throughput can be improved in multiple ways. Multiple trains help but the size of the train is a great influence. Maverick is a good example, 6 tains but 12 per train so can olny achive something like 1200pph where as millenium force with 3 trains and 36 riders per train achives 1700pph with just 1 train on the track with no blocks half way round. Swarm really should have 3 trains but to have that the ride would require something after the magnetic brakes and for the magnetic brakes to be friction brakes so it can count as a block. That way when the ride team are being efficent the station wouldnt sit there empty.
  19. As always you offer people some information you pick up and they all say it lies, you are aware this is a speculation topic? Also don't know what they are doing in 2 years? A lot of planning goes into coaster, followed by refinement, then engineering the thing, then theme, marketing. If that can all be done in 2 years or under I will eat my own shoe. I did state that plans change and implied that it should be taken with a large pinch of salt. I'm fine if you don't believe it but no reason to...
  20. I cant remember where but a fairly releabile source stated that within the next 5 years 3 woodies/hybrids were to be made in the uk. 2 have been claimed the 3rd still hasnt been. That doesnt mean one is to come just there is a small posiblity of one. Plans chnage and it could just be that the source wasnt fully correct.
  21. mantis is becoming a B&M floorless sit down called rougarou. It seems to feed on screams.
  22. Merlin is slowly converting and warming to the idea of a woodie/hybrid we wont see one for a few years but I reckon we will see a new one in a merlin park within 15 years. There is still one unclaimed woodie for the UK so either plans have changed or a certain park is keeping quiet.
  23. oblivion isn't strong enough to cause a grey out a black out or even a red out but it can induce something called a cop out.
  24. I learnt about greyouts, redouts and blackouts from the oblivion queue line.
