Can't comment on the last 3 days but can comment on monday the 2nd. Dispatches were fast and it was eating the queue, virtually walk on all day.

Road it monday just gone myself for the first time, had two rides, both of which I assume was on the same train as it was rattly as hell. Also came off with a banging headache, I thought to myself how is this ride only a year old. Don't give me wrong, still a great ride, just not re-rideable in its current state for me at least on one of the trains.

Spotted by digital dan on instagram. The track section in the splashdown is starting to go orange, what do we think this is? I don’t want to say it’s rust as you would think they paint would protect the metal underneath, but could be the gold beginning to fade maybe?
Probably that dirty lake water staining the track as it'll have weird PH levels compared to a filtered water splashdown

If it does end up going in the future I feel an Intamin Sky Jump would be a nice replacement (maybe not in the same area), like the one at grona lund

wasn't it to do with a new control system allowing indivudual sets of restraints to be unlocked rathern than the entire front or back of the train if guest faff happened

I had a blind launch in may of last year as someone requested it for their birthday hah
-
Its dispatched like any other coaster iirc,( take it with a grain of salt) once the 'start ride' button is pressed after an all clear, (two buttons, I think)
it begins the sequence of whatever it does, catch car, brake fins, audio, lights, launch, (might not be in that order) all in one sequence, its all programmed in, however what I don't know is how the 'blind launch' works with no audio/lights

Crazy to think a few years ago it was constantly in pieces and everyone thinking it was the end of the road for it.
that being said it's only been open once in 8 times I've visited in the past 3 years.
Really do hope they make it virtually identical to Chessington, though, pure red would just look off.

I didn't know there was an old guy with a dog, on my run I had a very young guy with an east london accent on my screen

My most relaxed would have to be Dollywood Or Cedar point (I visited both for multiple days and they were not busy at all.)
and most stresful would have to be Six flags over texas when it was packed packed.
but sadly with towers short opening hours even an off peak day feels like a rush to do everything. It sucks. such a big park and still 4pm closes? It's been going on for years and its an absolute joke, even in May/June time. Like why?

My best visit this year was In mid may on a week day, did everything multiple times by 2pm, then left.
That feels like the only way to do thorpe for me once a year, a one and done. Towers on the other hand I can stay there for days and not get bored.

Also visited the other week. Have to say I agree about the polish queue jumpers. Certainly runner up in that field only to Port Aventura for me! But such a great atmosphere in the park it didnt ruin it for us.
Shame about Hyperion. I only rode on the inner seats as if heard it can be rattly and found it extremely smooth. It think il only ever ride the inside now.
What was wrong with the chicken place? I found my family bucket I had almost to myself rather tasty.
I had one of those 'red burgers' and the chicken inside was about 3 inches long, had to ask for a new one 2 more times, the bun was 5x the the size of theh chicken inside haha

Had a banger of a visit to Energylandia last Tuesday + Wednesday, park was busy, all the coasters open on 1 train but a second is added within half an hour of park opening. Not once did I ever see Zadra stack a train in the breakrun.
average queue time was around 15 minutes because of rapid operations, much improved over my last visit where everything was 1 train.
Some highlights:
Zadra is a monster of a coaster.
Abysuss is very fun
Park is always clean
Lovely vibe with music everywhere.
Food is genreally pretty good (avoid the 'chick' place in the dragon area though.
Park hours were extended on both days.
Lowlights:
Polish queue jumpers. Oh so many.
Hyperion was no longer enjoyable for me. the rattle is awful and it feels very potholey-

I heard that zamplerla have a resived train design with better restraints which could make the new model slightly better
-
Should have went millennium flyers tbbh
-
The loop reminds me of that on Junker, looks like a fun ride, Lech is one of my favourite coasters so this could be a fun one too
-
I still wonder how people can get RAP passes so easily, I have an issue with my left leg from a previous surgery where it goes completely numb after standing for about 20 minutes, so I always have to sit down in the main queue lines where possible. I've been to my doctors about it and apprantly that isn't a good enough reason?

It was running on reduced capacity monday the 2nd. (two arms out of action) so I assume those are the ones that were taken off, seems its back open now though, though unsure if full capacity
