I LIKE SWARM, BUT I ALSO LIKE INFERNO. SO I WANT THEM TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH TO FIND OUT WHICH ONES BETTER.

OH MY GOD THIS NEMESIS SUB TERRAINIAN IS LIKE THAT SAW THING AT THORPE.
No, no it bloody isn't.

The Lorax.
Went to see it for the SECOND time today.
It's amazing.
Look how ace this song is!:

Just for the closed rides are cheaper effect - if they're broken, it's not cheaper. Need replacement parts, still have the same amount of staffing on, and you're paying in compensation to guests who's days have been affected.
People who don't enjoy their day are far less likely to return, that'll definitely affect them.

I far prefer the baggage holds - it's just not in the best position available.
The queue would've been awful to use for single riders also though, best not have either and just let people queue up slightly behind the rows as long as its not excessive.

Baggage is quite badly placed in Swarm. Most of that area is quite badly positioned, which you could probably only have noticed once it's opened.
I, for one, adore the front row queue. What a pointless waste of space that was. Noone uses it, noone understands it, there was no need for it. Imagine it'll never be open eventually.

More engineers is probably what they require, but we all know funding is tight.
Shame
-
I imagine it'd be down to not having a dedicated effects team - they'll all be bundled to the overstretched engineering team which are too busy trying to react to the rides breaking down.

No. Fansites are not there to advertise the events. You're acting like bloody PBE instead of something like you should do, towers street facebook is a good example.
What REALLY annoyed me most though, was that bloody awful picture posted yesterday. What a lovely skyline, with Depth Charge blocking all of it. I'm sorry, that was an utterly crap photo - you may as well have posted a pic of X queueline for all I care.
Shoddily run - you're run for enthusiasts, act like a bloody enthusiast page, not an advertisement for thorpe/12yr old writing because they're bored.

It's not particularly daft - if the ride has any hope of opening, they'll have staff there. They won't move them to other rides, which may already be properly staffed, or the staff themselves are not trained on. It gives enough people to ensure that every guest is spoken to who approaches them, and ensures no guests goes into that area. Means that once a ride is available, they have the staff to do their checks and reopen as soon as possible, rather than having to try and find them, ensure that they can be taken off (they could be covering someones break), ensure the break pattern for that ride is correct, that you have appropriate staffing levels for them to run etc.
Presentation wise - there is not much they can do whilst rides down during the day. Clean trains (but that'll be in engineering, so that's a no go). Litterpick queueline (but that'll be done already). Other things they won't be trained on, or have specific depts - like Landscape, Park Presentations (or whatever they call their cleaners). They'll be busy elsewhere.
It might look a bit messy to the outsiders, but it is the easiest, simplest, and best way of going about things. Plus, it's not like the staff cost them a lot anyway.

I also cant see that they've made any improvements, probably just literally fixed and maybe returned previous lighting from Terror Tomb etc.

Was totally the daisy train.

Originally designed so the main entrance played inferno theme, along with the volcano I believe. Rest of queue played bird tweeting.
Station was quiet apart from dispatches, where theme played.

You're moaning about Nemesis inferno having its soundtrack almost running exactly as it was designed to be?! (minus the dispatch theme
). -

You can buy individual ones, from Box Office or sales and info. Prices are between £3-£5 each.

Why do things have to benefit people?
Idiots.

Definitely prefer towards the back. Nothing more than outstanding seeing the train infront of you just swerve round at the top of the lift.
As for left or right, I'm unsure. Think I prefer left for the top of the lift, but right for most of the track. Outside seat is a definite for any place though.
RITA VS STEALTH
in General Discussion

I voted not sure. They're both equally unenjoyable due to either the wonderful neck-cutting moment on rita, or stupid shortness on stealth, they're both styled rather than themed, and I'd say stealth was the scariest due to the height, but rita cable snapped and could've killed people. That would've been scary.
