It was mentioned but all I saw was Derren in front of the train, my laptop froze

There is another FYI Daily at 16:35, so I'll be tuning in for that

By the way, on DBGT, Dumbledore dies.

Have you visited Universal?

Merlin aren't always "wrong". Personally I think they've given us some wonderful things, albeit not as good as Tussauds would have done things.

Admittedly I'm getting a bit bored of RMC, their coasters are starting to look quite samey

"oh I lost my ticket, I was booked for right now"

[Confessions]

I will refuse to ride Tidal Wave again. It was like a panic-attack all in one go

I'm surprised none of you are mad that the new Maze Runner film has been pushed back to 2018... Imagine if we were all in that community instead...

Thorpe Park or Thorpe Park Resort?

I actually oppose to this- I had never seen Vampire before I went on it and it proved that, as long as you're in the right frame of mind, you can ride anything!

[Did Derren Brown "Stick You"?]

When I watched the video I felt a little heavier, my arms were a tad stiff.

By the way, Alton Towers are hosting a competition to win a free stay at one of their hotels. Must be a sign they are getting a new one.

With that in mind, that makes it £40

Bubbleworks has such a catchy tune, but nothing beats Vampire. However I do love the new Dragon's Fury music...

[SAW: The Ride]

It would actually take three weeks and they didn't have the time over closed season. It was:

a) Saw opens three weeks late but with spinning blades

b ) Saw opens on time with no spinning blades

(I was told this during an Inferno BTS)

[SAW: The Ride]

The blades won't be running until next year, unfortunately, as it needs some work doing to them.

[Derren Brown's Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon]

I doubt they'd open it on Friday, mainly because Alton Towers will hold the limelight with the Rollercoaster Restaurant.

[Park Operations]

Operations yesterday were... pretty poor.

Restraint checking on Swarm took quite a while- surprisingly the right side had a 2-3 train wait whilst the left was empty.

Stealth seemed pretty standard.

Colossus was alright, two trains but with the third car being unavailable (not sure if that was both trains). Stacking for a short amount of time as well.

Tidal Wave was horrible. Over an hour's queuing on one boat, only for a second to be added just before we reached the station. 

Saw had, arguably, the worst operations I've seen on a ride. We queued at least 90mins, stopping for about 10-15 minutes after we had moved. We discovered this wasn't the ride (mainly), but how they let an awful amount of Fastrack in. As we (finally) entered the building, the op said over the microphone "Could you let more Fastrack in please". Apparently there was a large "Boooooo!" throughout the queue.

We ended the day with a BTS on Inferno and it makes you realize how busy the engineers are.
