Project LC

13 rides for a day? I would be furious if I went and got that. That is worse than my trip in the height of summer. Looks like 1 train op made the queues rather large.

Or maybe they are saving costs and encouraging more fastrack sales... I would prefer a 15 minutes stop to make the queues shorter for the rest of the day. However it should be on full trains from the start. There is only 1 ride I will let off and that is saw. The problems that can have with stacking on the break run can slow operations so I will excuse saw. The rest have no excuse ever.

The potential dark ride is currently designated for the arena. Also some of those trees cant be removed as they are there to hide the park from the other side of the lake. Also if you look on the mtdp it shows that the land behind the old railway tracks they dont own. So achiving planning permission for a large building there would be hard.

Suspended top spin if it has good operations can achieve 900pph (people per hour). That is pretty good on Thorpe park scale so it would reduce the queues. However to do that maybe it shouldn't have water so on cold days people still go on it.

The freeflyer has a better capacity however that or a zac spin I don't think would add much. All it would achieve is long queues and a let down. Top spin may work at Thorpe but it would need to be different to ripsaw. A suspended top spin may work with a few water and fire effects themed around the nemesis volcano going off, or the aftermath. However it wouldn't bring in a load of guests as they are still pretty generic.

S&s 4d freeflyer.

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.

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.

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.

Southparks confirmed yesterday that neptunes beach is getting work done which includes a more permanent double flowrider.

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.

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.

Its not the same as the stealth situation is it with 3 trains?

4 per group member with £10 return each despite being annual pass holders.

Yeah you do, I already tried that saying that they were just paying me to go away, so they just "paid" me more.

Yes

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.

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.

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.

Loggers is something like 1000pph and I think the rapids is similar.

So many better layouts could have been made instead of saw.

By the sounds of things you have a low g tolerance. Pretty common.

You know what I meant when I said claimed. Your just trying to be pedantic.

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.

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.
