Bugger. That's the only time I was planning on visiting the forum and website tomorrow. In all seriousness, I mean it. Nah, good work Ian. I want you to be the inferno op again, cos announcements wouldn't matter anymore

Easier to tap into the exterior expertise - particularly on some things. Merlin love outside companies, they use loads of companies on PR, advertising, branding.. everything to make the places integral and stick to their routes - the companies themselves often need some help (it's the whole private equity way!)

LOL that is actual madness. Gerr.

Sorry for making this late post - passed first time, 7 minors.Three years on.. today(ish), still going with my same sexy car. Get in!

Noone ever noticed my paintings anywhere either.But it's not that it won't go unnoticed, its that it has to be done to remain fresh anyway, its expected..

Didn't realise thorpe only had particular rides on their list - now thats interesting.As for the other parks, as far as I know (for it may have changed since).Legoland - is purely for those with autism or mental health issues, so that they'd disrupt other guests in the queue. All queues are designed to take wheelchairs, so they do not get passes. The very few which cannot accomodate wheelchairs can use the exit! Though, like all systems, needs to be looked at.Chessington - had a timed based system so you couldn't ride another ride until that time. However that was only for main rides, any other they could just join it.Alton Towers - just has wristbands, each ride has an hour (or current queue time) to it, so they shouldn't be able to just reuse instantly, but can go on any ride.It's up to each individual park, and how they cope with the systems tbf. I think they should be there to improve peoples days, particularly if a queue has not been designed to be wheelchair friendly. But, it park adjusts it and tries to make it work, so hey ho!

Mega fail. ****sake, we need some sodding active admin people.

Holly is being incredibly childish actually. How exciting and totally out of the ordinary

It'd have a huge difference. Each extra half hour is carefully considered for opening tbh, to ensure it's the correct business decision.

Course its possible - but when you consider towers was open 10-7 (9-7 if you include ERT) over the summer, and its DEAD by 5pm - why would there be any demand for it to be open those rediculous hours all year?

Course its popular being in the busiest area of the park in terms of people walking through - people would go on it if it was god damn awful or not!

Bler bler bler bler bler at like every unread topic I come onto this morning arguing over same thing. Booorrrinnnggg.

Whats with almost every post getting at least one like? I've totally missed out on this, god damnit.I suggest that thorpe park opens a garden centre next door on the old RMC site.

Ha sometimes, I get so fed up with the whole merlin is ****, merlin is responsible for banana skin in a bush, and the whole REVELATION that a park has not got a new attraction.

So, the same reason you go to a funfair then? Then again, thorpe almost is like a funfair - just needs to make their rides look a lot less permenant and they've done it.

By far the best time I've visited was when the host got everyone to pay attention, by pretending he's a tour guide.. and said to pay attention blah, then started it. Worked brilliantly!

Haa, lego had no such thing. They were awful for cleaning stuff when I was there. It wound me up so god damn much!

Did you disappear from ttf? You've been commenting on there moreee. Hmm!

Har. Reminds me of the bird poo on laser raiders sign. 6 weeks, I wanted to clean it. But I had to be ladder trained.. then I had to be trained in right cleaning stuff, then I'd have to ask permission.It was still there all of last year >_>

Does this mean I should be going to the spectrum purely to drink (or maybe bowl) on both the sat and sun?!

May spend money coming down. Bowling times is only thing I'd do.. apart from like having casual drink. Depends on cost!

Learn to drive! Redhill aint that far away from kingston . What route to do you go anyway? Via Clapham?

Seen a good one: "PLC Missing/malfunctioned. Action: Reinstall PLC..."

Which happens to every coaster now and then.

Yup we win.No more of that with the whole minimum 4 host stuff. Who would've thought.. a way higher staffing budget for vampire - regardless of reason it was brought in
