Ooh I bloody love those dreams where I know I'm dreaming, especially great fun ones. Wandering around like "this dream is fantastic, hope I don't have to wake up for a while!"

Merlin Studios only really create the concepts and waxworks, almost the entirity of every project is made with external contractors.
-
Thorpes year-on-year staff videos which end up everywhere are proof you can do it with no budget (just enthusiastic members of staff).
-
RMT, Air, Nemesis, Spinball, NST, Duel, Hex, Charlie..
Pretty good lineup for the usual enthusiast, far better than a couple of years ago (even if it did used to include Oblivion).
-
Still a potential maybe.
Can all be thrown out of the water if I get a job, but if I don't, I'm more than happy to waste precious funds on this trip!

Fireworks also last usually between 20-25mins, preshow starts at 645pm.
They sound good this year, don't think you could get worse than last years performance though.

Cute baby trains.
Why do both foreign merlin parks get lower throughput attractions? Those parks are surely busy enough to warrant the same size trains as their UK counterparts?!
Down to money I suppose. They never treat their foreign parks as well as they do the UK ones (that's saying something).

The crane physically blocked the pathway into X sector.
That's why the area was closed.

SRQ slows down the actual operations of the ride. You won't get full seats going out everytime, especially on a ride where singles aren't batched into the bays.
Nemesis SRQ moves relatively quickly anyway, particularly when you compare it to other rides also offering it on park.

Obviously not listened to the reason behind it, lets hope it's shut instead next time for you

- Nemesis SRQ not being managed properly(By the end of day two it was raining and the main queueline was almost empty, however we wanted to re-ride it without travelling a mile each time so went in the single rider queue. Instead of letting us all on, they closed three restraints in each row and put us on the fourth! WHY?)
You've answered your own question there. To make sure people travel a mile each time, without abusing the SINGLE RIDER queue.
Least they actually let you use SRQ at that time, I know that they generally close it when there's no queue to prevent this occuring.
Ultimately, SRQ is to fill up empty seats on busy days, it's not there to become a substitute for the main queue which would occur if they allowed everyone on via it. It becomes completely unmanageable, and hence why they usually close it or make people ride alone so prevent them using it.

You'll struggle to find any boats on any water transit ride in order. So try not to pay any attention to them whenever you visit any attraction

Glad to see Oakwood actually doing stuff again. After Dark returning (even if it's not as adventurous as last year), trying a halloween themed event and actually getting investment and creating attractions..
Go oaky!

They were sending trains out approximately every 5mins the other day, leading to throughputs of around 300pph. On two trains.
So they haven't sorted operations out that well, but at least they've removed fastrack for the time being.
-
^ That's incorrect. Ride times uses the same information as Sales & Information Units, which can vary to information shown on any queue time board on park.
Weird, but some systems get updated when others don't it seems.

Don't go shopping = super okay

Brilliant story.
Something we need at merlin attractions, something strong which resonates with the family market. We've got smiler half baked idea, we need a full on theme like this Wing Rider (though, whether it's storyline is portrayed as such in the actual park is yet to be seen).

So.. Mystery of HPH.. it seems to have taken the story and feeling of mystic manor at disney (and who'd blame them? It's fantastic).
How far does it really take the story? Does it feel like a good update to HPH?
Dreams
in The Real World

What's it called when you're trying to shout in your dream, and you end up shouting in real life and realising it, you think to yourself in your dream what a idiot you are?
I like those as well, even if it is frustrating that those in the dream are misbehaving!
