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!!

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!

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

A business is a business!!! On quiet days at Paultons Park we open the rides from 10.30am - 4.30pm, so thats already saving money on rides wages! We don't open Edge & Raging River Ride till 12pm due to them both using a lot of power and it's not cost effective to have them running from 10.30am when at 12pm they will both be walk on anyway! Some of the smaller rides are run 2 rides between one to again save wages and the fact there is NO need to have an operator at each ride when they won't be doing much! E.g. Seal Falls & Digger Ride run togeather as does Magic Carpet & Flying Saucer, Dragons Roundabout & Ladybird Ride, Go Karts & Rabbit Ride, Jumping Bean & Jumping Jack. If it is really quiet then Kontiki & Teacups will run togeather! Cobra runs with 3 cars instead of 5, that means the other 3 are in the workshop and can have work done to them as well!For all you know regarding Stealth, Colossus and Nemesis Inferno, they could actually be having their Annual Inspection on the trains so it's one less thing to do over closed season! E.g. stripping down one carriage a day on a train and inspecting the wheels and hubs for damage and if needed, replace them, this over the course of 2-3 weeks (Septemeber when it's quiet just after the busy period) is enough time to get it done and at least they don't have to do the trains during closed season!!

Very short report from me.It was ok, got to Air at 10 which wouldnt dispatch us, seats kept getting stuck! then onto Nemesis, Th13teen, Rita etc. Th13teen broke down whilst in the queue. Saw a few other rides like Rita and Spinball break down too! The park was dead as it was chucking it down, left around 3.45ish because we had done everything we wanted to more than once! I honestly believe there is more stuff to do at Thorpe and that Thorpe are doing a lot better with uptime on rides this year compared to Alton! Going back to Alton for Scarefest

The guy operating Bucc that day was a fricking legend!!! <3

Haha steve! Yes the lighthouse is awesome and Windy Castle looks impressive!! This is going to be an amazingly themed area and I hope everyone even though the area is not targeted towards you lot, that you come and look for yourself when it opens next year!!

Windy Castle is now being erected in Peppa Pig World, to follow the latest goings on from the park and Peppa Pig World add Paultons Park on Facebook and keep checking the Offical Website for Peppa Pig WorldLatest update is about Windy Castle Click here!

Yes, typical! The 2nd ride it faulted however, the rest of the hour was fine and the rest of the day it was fine and did not fault! Just must not be used to going backwards with people on! And no problem! I hope everyone enjoyed their expierence and day!

Guys, lets not boast about who has what... IT'S BLOODY AUDIO FFS Get over it!

Indeed Stealth was down all day!

Can't exactly remember but it's between £800k & £850k

Haha np! See you on park as I am operating one of the three for ERT!!! Come say hi!

Yep! Also anyone going to the special coaster day at Paultons (see previous page) I have secured ert on Sky Swinger (a Wave Swinger like Monkey Swinger) to be run backwards alongside Cobra and Edge's ERT session!!

Paultons currently spins at 15rpm

And technically faster now that Chessington have slowed theirs down... (Well Zamperla!)

Sorry for double post but if anyone is interested in the construction of Peppa Pig World then a new video has come out!

Was a good day today!! Not as busy as I thought! And nice socks Ryan!

Yep! And I have organised a little surprise as well!

Awww I am glad you had an amazing day despite the weather!!! It was rather rubbish I have to say and the park was very quiet too!!!Ellie... Edge or Kobra?

Happy Birthday to our lovely Mod Ryan!

It's bloody stupud in my opinion!!

Edge has had a few problems but no where near as bad as Kobra! Edge has stopped on the wrong side 3 times this year so far. Edge also rarely faults, it will do a silly cant find home fault where it goes back and forth for a minute trying to find the sensor. It does this approx once every 1-2 weeks!

I am watching X Factor as I fell asleep and missed it, same for Big Brother! >.<I hate having this chest thing which really hurts and all I want to do is sleep because it then doesn't annoy me!
