I want to swear at my graphics teacher because he predicted an E for my B. Take that you horrible snotty man. But also I have been temporarily removed from school because I got an E In geography which I thought I'd do really well in. Time to fight my corner! God I hate education.

8/10 that ride can kill people by water canon to the face.

So suddenly everyone has forgotten about ministry of joy just as these hints (which stink of lies) point at it in a very broad way. I still don't think it will be but if this IS true then it could be a likely outcome, especailly considering the guy said it could be deemed offensive

my last dream was from the night after I watched insidious for the first time. I simply woke up in my old room, looked up, and lipstick face was staring at me, hanging from my ceiling. then I was woken up by my mum because apparently I had been screaming. woo night terrors over silly things.

music like that is a matter of opinion. I believe most of the pop music around the park belongs in peoples iTunes, much better to have themed specific scores and sounds for rides and areas then Nicki Minaj being blasted out in unfitting places around the park.

Yeah I know I am scared she will kill me in my sleep.

My brother. Having skype calls at 4AM Thinking its smart to wake me up because his internet girlfriend wants to see me sleep. AND I HAD WORK IN 3 HOURS. Its okay, I hit him with a hockey stick. Don't think he's going to do it again.

stereotypical for a Thorpe park forum. Hm.

Just goes to show these new hybrids don't need any whacky inversions to be good. just some inspiration of the past injected in the layout, with new technology and you can truly make a great ride... or so it looks.

Does it fold the same way though? The thing on this ride is essentially a sideways airtime hill.

I've... never thought of that. That's pretty cool actually.

You have therefore just made your own arguement invalid Matt, as the park already enforces throughput recordings. Also, the operators can and are encouraged to change the queue time to represent what it actually is. Whether or not these are strictly informed to is down to the operator.

That curved structure could be for a curved screen like elements used in transformers.

About throughputs. On nearly every ride you'll see an operator, someone sitting in the control box or an attendent with a clicker (unless there isn't one to click). They do count throughputs, infact on Colossus they had competitions (not sure if they still do) to see who'd get the highest over a certain duration of time and the winner would win something like donuts. Operators all work differently, in example if an operator knows that their team isn't the quickest they might push the queue time up a little in preperation for the lower throughputs. Managers who examine queue lines can't see this however, so it's all very dependent upon who does what. As said, exit and fast track entrances also effect the queue time and can add crucial seconds to loading times. It becomes very messy and it's near hopeless to try and sort out even more unless you scrap the whole lot and have one queue line, and one queue line only. Having said that the attendents do a brilliant job at what they do and they tend to be quite quick once they get the hang of it.

Park managers walk round with iPads and adjust the queue times by physically going into the queue and checking themselves whilst using their own knowledge and estimate the queue time. Operators also have the power to radio in their estimate of queue times if they havent been changed in a while or are widely out, and they sometimes get their attendants to ask riders how long they've queued for.

The point about extending the length of the shown queue times is very oo-eery. It deters many guests from the ride which is good for those willing to queue but also it reflects badly on the park for inaccurately recording the queue time. We've had people even here say how bad it is to do that.

madd

Alas trust is on our side, They did a great job with Chiapas trains... I just hope this train isn't something glossy and generic with semi done vinyls all down the sides.

I didn't realise you could see people dribbling through a computer screen.

Thank you for that lovely cup of cold, dead banter.

How was ghost then Benin? I must also remind you that lego's target audience is for teeny weeny people who are probably going to have their first adrenaline experience at a park. Rides you may call meh may well be the ideal ride to have for families as they can cater for a large age well, even if that means that older riders find them to be 'meh'

They still have absolutely no idea how to pick up trust, produces teasers, and they still have absolutely no idea what they are even doing.

I have rarely seen you defend any park and for the most of your posts all you do is moan and critique merlin about how they are not as good as other parks.. Then you say this? Once you go to a place like Disney, or Phantasia, or any other of these gloriously themed parks, you'll see that annual passes for merlin can have the money used spent elsewhere. Disney is the reason I have a passion for theme parks, despite the fact I had visited chessington and legoland years before. Phantasialand is probably what shaped my passion for immersive experiences over ride experiences, not thorpe park or towers. Don't get me wrong I love visiting them, but I have been truly inspired by ones found elsewhere. Single trips can literally change your life. You won't know that until you try.

This looks mental. I'm surprised at the lack of inversions... Are there even any visible ones yet?

WHY ARE THE SHOES AND DOORS SO BIG THOUGH
