No I don't think so - I can't remember fully but I think they were the same age but two girls and a boy.

Things You've Overheard at Parks
That same day at Towers - A group in the Congo River Rapids exit "Excuse me, do you know where Duel is?" (I give them directions) "Oh so we just walked past it." (Start to walk away then turn around) "What is Duel?"

And it doesn't help when most people would scream for compensation if Storm in a teacup went down for 30 seconds.

Your OWN favourite park pictures!
I got a good one of Saw and Samurai on Saturday but cant post it right now because it's on my mum's phone as the camera on this isn't very good.

Things You've Overheard at Parks
Yeah this exists on TowersTimes but also I don't care. Not sure if this goes here or nonsense, but stuff you overhear at parks. On Monorail: *Points at Galactica* "That's Air!" *Points at Nemesis* "Oh wait no, that's Air." I wonder if this guy had any trouble finding the entrance for Air. Worst thing is he was at least 18 and was taking some people there for the first time. He also claimed a boy fell out of Nemesis. Later that day on death tra- skyride: (Let's call him Bob) "Oh that's the log flume! Is it open, I couldn't find it on the map..." (Someone else in his group) "Does it f... look like it's open" About one of the ducks atop the showers after the drop: "Is that the giant 30ft duck you were talking about" (Bob): "No its indoors and it jumps out at you" At the end, when the audio starts again for some reason (Bob) "Yeah, you just said all this" (made me chuckle for some reason

Galactica
I didn't do it with VR on either of my rides - my dad did on the second go and I asked him a few questions, including the thing about the vr going out of view, he said he didnt notice it and he always had a full view of either what's meant to be happening or just space with loads of stars. So either its been fixed or he just didn't notice it. That's most likely because by the end of the day 3/4 of the train doesn't actually have a working headset.

Alton Towers General Discussion
I forgot to mention but when we went late July something was being built and drilled onto one of the Ice Age warehouse's walls, the one only visible from Toadstool. It looked like some sort of mirror with dirt or something round the edges, probably Scarefest related but I don't know so I'll just leave it here.

Fright Nights 2016
No track was being removed on Saturday, but every DBGT advert on park other than the ones pointing to the entrance have been replaced by Platform 15. It's literally everywhere.

Tidal Wave
Tidal Wave has actually given me a cold. I didnt even go on the ride (would have if I wasn't wearing my Austin Aries shirt). I was watching the ride when decided to go in the splash zone not expecting it to come near me and then... it did...

Inferno was fine Saturday, apart from one small outage which was fixed insanely quick?

Chessington General Discussion
How does that show anything? All rides break down. There is not one park in the world that will go a full day without one single breakdown.

Do you guys think we'll see another (obviously minor) new ride next year, improvements around the park, a small attraction, Colossus repaint or will the back seats on Inferno be turned around zomgfgfgfg!!!?!?!1!? I think there'll be some minor repaints, renaming of a few food outlets and the pointless waterslides on Amity Beach being removed.

Fear on a Ride
I'm really not sure, when I was thinking "I am gonna do this" I didn't really take height into account. Also not sure if I wanna do a floorless coaster to start with, but apparently Colossus is a bad coaster to start on... I may just leave it til I go back to Towers, hopefully later this Summer.

Park Operations
Just got here, fastrack queue is near Depth Charge, Colossus is shut and Tidal Wave literally just got stuck.
