  1. Was designed to speed up boarding and all issues arising from a free-for-all.

    Having numbers on arms will be utterly pointless as they'll constantly move, so guests will be confused where to go and it won't help at all. May as well go back to the old days than do that.

  2. Difference between this and stealth is that you actually walked under the launch track - only part of stealth you walked under (which wasn't covered) was to sunken garden.

    Though, I far prefer what they had last year to this.. what the..

  3. I cannot answer that, but I imagine so.

    The issues with audio last year were apparently an upgrade to Project Link (the system which links up all the audio and runs it under the dome, as mentioned above).. which didn't do anything but mess things up. It killed the zones (Lost City disappearing), and it sped up tracks. The installation of project link killed things like inferno.

    This year they bought a brand new system, which seemingly is slowly being put into place now. Hence inferno, and now Lost City. Imagine they're slowly working around the park finishing it off.

  4. 32A picks up and drops off on the plaza, like the old buses.

    They've cut them as they lose money and it's a drain on the business (I'm not entirely sure about that.. winter maybe, not during season though). Those services are literally two buses. The way home is one bus operating to Leek via Hanley. Expect it to be completely full and standing, as it's the only bus for staff and should really just be run as for staff only.

  5. Exactly - balancing. And I do believe Slammer works on a similar scale, I know that they do have to get the same amount of people in each paddle (or nearer).

    Samurai isn't for balancing, it's for what I mentioned.

    Slammer needs equal (or near enough equal to) loading on each paddle. Silly really!

  6. Why would you want cheap fastrack? Some people on here really are clueless.

    I absolutely hate thorpe and it's selling of fastrack. Everything has to be fastrack related, everything has to be making as much money as possible. Not a care in the world of whether they're overselling it or whether it'll be logistically easy to do.

    Should do a towers.. not introduce fastrack on new rides to ensure the operation runs smoothly, and so you can get a relatively accurate average throughput.. then price accordingly if you really must do it.

  7. Do we tolerate this as free speech, or should we be censoring his awful views?

    This is as bad as saying you wouldn't wanna be served by a camp gay because you cringe at him speaking. No actually, it's nowhere near that. It's way worse.

  8. Vortex is only ride to make me feel ill as well. Wretched things.

    X lapbars, I've just got boomerang trains in my head (so, ben10?). Not the most comfortable.. but also don't think they'd fit the track envelope etc anyway.

  9. Might be a daft question here but now that the trains run forwards, will they be removing those block sections or at least letting them run through?

    Doubt it, as it'd end up reducing the throughput. It doesn't have a brilliant one in the first place!

  10. Dunno, as that part of the park was closed off over feb half term.

    What they were supposed to do is create a permenant structure underneath the launch - so it won't be a tunnel anymore. We'll find out on saturday though I spose.
