  1. A friend of mine has recently started working at Thorpe and, whilst I know we should take anything employees say or have been told with a pinch of salt, he says that there are lots of clues for WC16 in the Big Top. 

    I just wondered if there is any truth in this and if so have any been spotted yet? 

  2. "Our revelations – particularly the fact that staff are able to perform manual overrides at all – will raise disturbing questions about the safety features on the Smiler and other rides." 

     

    Well thank god the Daily Mail is taking the time to investigate these matters! What would we do without them?! -_-

     

  3. After reading through Merlin's report on The Smiler incident and their reaction I found this snippet to be pretty interesting...

     

     

    Either they originally intended to start marketing the ride sooner, or Merlin are just cruel. This has to be one of the most painful ride constructions in the UK in a looong time. We literally still know nothing, and yet there is a gigantic construction site right under our nose. 

     

    where can I read this report please?

  4. I went in the maze today and thanks to our amazing guide had a great time!  All the effects seemed to be working, she joked and interacted with everyone in the group, made it her mission to scare everyone as many times as she could, and explained everything really well. (but the question tank thing is so, so lame!)

    Only thing I have to ask is why, oh, why did someone think it was a good idea to have an attraction that allows 10 people in every 10 minutes!? 
    When we joined, the sign at the start of the queue said 15 but after about 5 minutes in the queue were told it had gone up to 40! (kudos to the staff actually telling those already in the queue this information though). In the end I think we waited close to an hour on a day where other queue times for rides such a Stealth peaked at 15/20 minutes.
