The only thing I don't understand is for a family target would of hope for more family rides then just angry birds and tidal wave and if the dogems go that slow then that's bad

New for darkride for 2015 - Flying Fish - Brave It Blindfolded

Would that not be like space staction zero as it used to be does any one know why they moved it outdoors?

It was closed so britan got talent or more talent can not remember whitch show but one of them can do some filming for Saturday show

You have got to remember for Thorpe that even though MAP, TAP and Shark Hotel guests normally get in between 10 and 30 minutes before the park actually opens there are still engineer and ride operator checks with a manager or team leader have to sign the ride off. Only then the ride can open.

If an engineer hasn't handed the ride over to the rides department then the ride operators cannot do their checks and so on so ERT depends on whether the ride is ready and can open early. If not most rides are ready 5 minutes before the park opens.

Colossus also hates the rain too

Good to hear it's back it's back open. Do you know if they've fixed the problem with swing B not reaching as high as well?

Not to sure to be honest suppose we soon find out if it has or not

Re opened today on swing A only with lap bars being put back on swing B at end if the day so by tomorrow hopefully be back on 2

Ive noticed more and more recently over the past couple of years that Staines road queues all the way from Staines to the park, which obviously makes the situation in the car park a lot worse too.

I noticed that 2 from working there the last 4 years but Evan in the closed months around 4 till 6 that road is still very bad it's just unfortunate that they only have 2 ways to leave

Marvel

Saw or smiler

Who went last year and that day when the whole of staines way and Chertsy way was at grid lock because of an accident of the M25 people were blocked in that car park both all the customers who left end of the day as well as staff for a good 2/3 hours.

It's not that bad it's like this in all places on busy days like people said there only 2 ways you can go on that roundabout and you going out same times as people from surry leaving work as well same as towers the amount of backlog down that road and after any event at wembley that road is massive problems no one can really control it it's just how it is

Fountains were off again today has anyone spoke to any staff about this problem as I hope it get sorted soon as my friend who I'm taking soon never been on it and I hype it up so much

If any one cares as I know I do ratatollie will be opning the 10 July so exited for ride this this year

It's prob because if your on swing b and it not going as high as it should then that might explain why people think it's shorter

Rush has always ran on 9 swings ride cycles since it 1st opened

Fair enough I have no idea why there is less power in swing B

What was wrong with rush yesterday

One of our goals is to be better than disney this is know within merlin as catching the mouse we are trying to build our portfolio and world class rides to catch the mouse and merlin to then become number one

Depending on time of year I'd imagine though. I was there 3 days and paid £110 including park tickets and breakfasts. You can get some real good deals going on to fill space.

I do agree as it depends on when you go but when You know when you want to go you should do some sums as some time off park is load cheaper but if you stay during a super value season then on site is cheaper

It's a lot cheaper to stay off site with B&B that are close that do free transport to the park and get an annual pass works out a lot cheaper that way then staying on site

If there's been new gravel I'd say they're slowly getting it ready and repaired.

Wouldn't put gravel down otherwise, you'd leave it be or tarmac etc.

I agree there showing signs they might be getting it ready maybe there getting it ready for 2015 as a new/old revamped family ride

It was indeed ment to open for fright nights as a family ghost train the trains are In working convictions as the maintance team work really hard to get them working again as some motets were scied shut (sorry can not spell that word) but the could not get the funds for the repair of the track as most of the last engerneerning budget was being pump into slammer ready for its winter work

Slammer can break down upside down, but equally I don't recall it ever breaking while I've been near it. And certainly not in a major way. I still don't trust it.

It can but it's a very very very rare like stealth being stuck at the top with guest and zod not coming down and just spinning they can happen but it's near impossible that they will

It doesn't actually run different lengths, I think people just start to think that it does because it sometimes takes ages to get itself to height and by the time it does; it's finishing again.

That's correct it's on a pre set timer if it takes 6 small swings to start to swing then that's like half the time gone already at the moment last 2 days it's been swinging really good at the start meaning the cycle time will last into the hight it's meant to go as soon as we push start the timer starts we do not control how long it swings for

There are no settings ie short or long for the opp it's runs on a set timer we just push a button computer does the rest
