    That was very boring Jord! You shouldn't challenge someones religion and beliefs. Bit rude really!
  3. Rich replied to Marc's topic in The Past
    On quieter days it opens an hour later and closes an hour earlier!

  9. Fantastic meet, fantastic people easily the best so far! Thanks to Ian for all his hard work and I look forward to seeing you all next year for hopefully the same level of meets!!
  10. Was not funny in the slightest...
  11. I totally agree.. Didn't need to know this at all....And also Dan.. You legend!

    I believe they are multi colour LED static lights, so they don't move but can change colour!

    If this is aimed at me Will I think you will find you did that to me over 6 months ago! So who is bullying who?
  14. Nice long Intro! Welcome to the forums and enjoy your time on here!
  15. Rich replied to Phill's topic in Nonsense
    I also had all this and told him where to stick it, where he very quickly blocked me on MSN when I said "I am a person, not an advertising tool!"On a more scarier note.... Someone wants to play a game in my room!!

    Its like with any park that is starting and wants to go major! If you have the money of millions before the park is even open then yeh go for it, buy a B&M etc! Didn't Hard Rock Park fail, I think that was their name when they literally put B&Ms etc all over the place then the park crippled within a year or two because they couldn't make the money back!Lego in a way is like Paultons, the rides are of similar standards... (if not better at Paultons) What makes Lego is the brand Lego! If it wasn't for that I could seem them honestly being lower than Paultons. We have now 8 Zierer rides, 8 Metallbau Emmeln rides, 4 Zamperlas, 1 Reverchon and 1 mighty Gerstlauer. Every park works their way up I guess!

    Poor Percy!
  18. You can buy your AP tickets on the day for £5. It's strictly advance booking between like 28th-31st or something like that! If you do it online it's more expensive because they put a card charge down of like £1, so it's actually £6 online!
  19. Umm peaks at 30 mins at the start of day! Nearly everyone does a coaster first! Stealth has been virtually at the bottom of the stairs on weekdays for sometime now...!
  20. They will do servicing on the cars when it becomes quieter as I keep saying, so it's less work over closed season!! The train won't be completey unavalible, they do one carriage at a time and IF the other breaks down, they can easily put the other one back togeather and swap the two trains over, it makes perfect sense I really don't understand why you lot really dont grasp this concept. It is still running two trains on a weekend is it not?
  21. Yeh, when I went to Alton last week they were using the arm closest to the Oblivions brake run! When I went earlier on in the year it was running the arm closest to Enterprise!
  22. I work at a park, I know what they are doing, it makes perfect logical business sense. The rides are virtually walk on anyway, they will be working on one carriage at a time, doing a complete service.Also Alton is busier than Thorpe so it wouldn't surprise me. Anyone ever actually thought why Submission only runs one side when both are fully working? Yeah exactly! No real big queues for it, pointless having both sides running and more staff costs!
  23. Josh, you don't get the point at all do you???????They will be doing ANNUAL MAINTANENCE on the trains, this means they don't have to do it over christmas which is one less thing to do which means the ride may actually be ready for opening, It makes perfrect logical sense!!
  24. I understand they are different BUT THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME INTENTIONS!!! They are BOTH businesses, they are BOTH quiet, they WILL BOTH save money, Why won't fanboys understand the concept of saving money, if they didn't some parks would crippled and their future devlopments won't be as big!
  25. Air Dan the principle is STILL THE SAME!!! Nemesis at Alton is on ONE train, AIR is on two trains with ONE station, Oblvion is on ONE station operation....Lets go to Chessington, I expect Vampire is running 1-2 trains whilst one is taken off at a time for maintenance and the fact it doesn't need 3, I bet Rattlesnake isn't running that many cars, I also bet Fury is on 5 cars....Legoland I expect Dragon Coaster is on 1-2 trains... get the message? And Thorpe used to open and I don't know wether they still do it, but they used to on quiet days have Slammer & Samurai opening at 11. All the water rides opening at 11 as well....As I said, the principle is the same, get your facts before you come up with a stupid excuse like "Paulton's Park is a small, independently run theme park which NEEDS to save money wherever it can. Thorpe is run by the 2nd biggest theme park company in the world. There's a difference. "Thanks!!P.s. it's Paultons not Paulton's
