Alton Towers General Discussion
I didn't witness any cleaning down of rides in my 2 days there so I assume they've scrapped that

Trust the capacity to go back to normal just after I go! the queues moved so slow before! especially on 13!

Alton Towers General Discussion
Spent the past two days at towers, It was very busy, even a 10-6 didn't feel like enough for both days. but in other news, Decided to try out roller disco for a laugh, and it was actually intense as f*ck! It seems to be running at full speed, slowing down then full speed again, the G force felt when spinning clockwise was like the speed its ran at a normal fair.

2021 Season
Visited on thursday for a last minute trip, was really impressed honestly, everything on two trains, saw was closed at the start of the day but opened around 12, seems to be iffy with being open and closed this season, Did everything multiple times and then left around 2pm as I actually got bored! Overall probably best time ive had at thorpe in the past 10 years ive been going

I assume the cycles will be short and probably not ran at full speed either tbh

Actually had a mega ride on Samurai over the weekend, not sure what setting it was running but it was at least 3 minutes long and intense all the way through, proper threw me around

Gotten pretty lucky with rides. been stuck on the lift for tidal wave for about 10 minutes, and evacuated from Gatekeeper's lift hill at CP.

Samurai
To be honest, I never noticed much downtime on samuari last year, every single visit I made, it was running, albiet on a piss poor setting though, anyone know what the settings are like this season so far?

Samurai
Seems like she's dead again. cherry picker on site and area taped off edit: seems like it got stuck.

Nemesis Inferno
I would assume they're the exact same across all old gen B&M invert trains, and it does seem odd that it has different measures from Merlin, I somehow feel like they may change this, either nemmy becomes every other row or inferno loads every row

The Coronavirus Thread
I have a question for the UK parks and what we know so far. For the social distancing on rides, if I go with one other person from my household, will I be made to sit away from them on a ride, despite going to the park with them?

That first inversion looks so nice ngl

The Coronavirus Thread
I mean I'm "going" to towers on the 30th and 31st so if its dead its a bonus, but I'm not gonna be upset if they close.
-
The Coronavirus Thread
I rekon if towers/thorpe open and the amount of people there end up being too much for the stuff they've put in place, ie gaps in queues, slow dispatches, ect ect they won't make it past sunday. if they do open at the weekend I think the open parks would be stressed to the limits and they'll end up closing for the weekend after imo

The Coronavirus Thread
"Proximity - Where close proximity between guests and staff is necessary, for example in checking ride harnesses, we will keep this to a minimum and operate in line with the latest guidance. This might mean that some rides and attractions may not be available during your visit. We ask you to also avoid cash transactions if possible." with this statement it would seem like every single ride with restraints would be closed then? cosnidering the staff lean over the train to check restraints ect? unless they're gonna use a pole with a hook lol

Energylandia
I liked it when I visited in may 2019, but it still did feel a bit sparse and empty, hopefully when I return this year it'll feel a bit more filled out, and hopefully actually have 2 train ops on their big coasters...
