Ive always been a fan of Colossus since it first opened. It gave an amazing experience on Tuesday at the back and was smooth compared to SAW. That was so rough I though something should be wrong. Bare in mind the difference in age id say Colossus is running better!

Had my first ever ride on SAW yesterday... And boy was I disappointed. Has it always been that jerky and rough? The theming and dark part of the ride was good but the coaster section once past the drop was rough, and really dull, such a different experience that THE SMILER. I actually just said once is enough and headed straight back to the swarm.

Went yesterday and there was a lot of action all day in the q line, plus around the site. Several different engineering/other firms were there. It looks impressive but I thought it would look a bit more impressive. The shop was cool! I cant believe the in park radio pop station promotes it so heavily, it's like a kick in the man parts!

wow everyone take a deep breath... Ok long time lurker but this is my first post.... Yes it's frustrating that Merlin yet again fail to deliver a ride on time. But it's not because they don't care, they or DB want the best experience for people. It's the same as my cosplay. I want kids and adults eyes to light up and feel like it's a real hero visiting them, yes its not always possible with sick children doing charity visits but it's all about illusion and impact. You must give the first impact as a wow moment then you do believe. I could make a suit quickly, but when I am at a con I know that the 40 hours I spent just painting the thing by hand gives 200% more impact. So hold on tight! However, I am annoyed by the Marketing team and Merlin. I gave up my annual pass donkeys ago when Nemesis I opened! So a theme park trip is a once or twice a year thing. I put off going in spring and instead got evil Murdoch vouchers from the sun. This along with other media outlets stated opening in May. So I booked for June 7th but I doubt it will be open. This opening mid season must soon backfire as people instead of going at either end of the season will just bundle it up for the end. I have now. Opening 1/2 way through the season means your under more pressure, marketing is more unpredictable and guest satisfaction is alot lower. I'd argue that although I want the best quality experience and we will, we wiil have to put up with delays for the better, I'd much prefer if Merlin switch to Easter openings and a focus on time management. So much marketing budget has been wasted and unless merlin are hit financially I doubt they will take notice. On another note if it's DB wanting the best from this ride, I can't blame him. He's a premium product and I'm the same with my work as a filmaker. Peace out everyone, the illusions will manifest soon, the train is delayed due to too much sunlight (I'm looking at you south-eastern!)
