I imagine that it's due to park attendance, to how much they can and will spend.Thorpes fireworks in 08 had attendances as low as 8k.. From peoples views on queue times this year, I cant imagine it being tooo much busier this time round either.

Ohh lego used to do it regularly... now they just have rather large opening times (probably the longest openings in the UK? Beating, or almost beating thorpe?)Oh, and I'm sure their attendance is more than one million a year. Even chessie got more than that this year

Sorry, but this is basic marketing speech. It tells you what it does, and why you should go ride it.Plus, it's ALWAYS happened. Hello, nemesis "The worlds most intense ride experience" "sit back, its fright time"....

Cos it sounds better than saying "there's a new ride next year, please come and ride it"?

Applied for jobs, waiting to hear back from them all.But, one of very very few to already hear back about returners interview. Lovely.

Unless they've changed since last year, you CAN check bars at legoland. You just have an attendant shadowing you. It's brill.

Mate, I've been for a day now. And incredibly bored already. ARGH!

Last remaining part of the old old thorpe logo? Or are there still a couple left on X trains?

10k friday, 27k yesterday, 17k today

Whats the most difficult ride installation you've had to date?What other companies do you work most with to create your rides (like consign does their PLC programming, for instance).What non-B&M rides are you most inspired by?

Woo, been wondering where Original Sandwich Co will appear. Good old chessie getting it first!

Game over.

Stuff always crops up with DVD technology. Air DVD has been in process of being produced since July. It opened last week, and only survived a day before needing more technical work to it.I presume this is why they're always late opening/disappear with technical issues. It's still new stuff, so takes a while

Everytime I read his forum name, I think it says "skidders"

Buccaneer is amazing though... Seastorm is fun but for errr... interesting reasons.Wonder why kevin said finally though? Always nice to have a theme park open! Poor old chessie is first to close, not surprised though!

Oblivion has far more problems with it overspeeding than potential stalling (infact most delays in the ride is due to overspeeding into the brakes).So yeah, doubt it'll ever happen!

Seems silly if it is actually strictly advance booking - towers is expecting no more than 15k. (thats average summer day figures)

Tomorrow will be quiet, I'm sure they'll allow on the day, unless others will prove me wrong?

The ability to scare usually helps.No other formal qualifications required.

There will be access, no doubt about it. We were talking about the provision of lifts for some reason instead.Infact, with AdamY... only ten years ago disabled access meant literally someone else in a wheelchair, every single other person had to queue like anybody else. They've only changed policies in the past decade.

Each to their own - towers wouldn't have sold out (as their capacity is something ridiculous like 40k), but it'll be the busiest day this year.

Think it'd be the same for every park. Towers is expecting around 30k again today.

Well I did respond to this, but its disappeared.It's next to the operators console, goes down the back of the volcano to a path leading out to the lockers. It used to have a lovely retro thorpe out of use sign - however I haven't been for a year, and they could well have updated this sign.I for one would complain about the seemingly not bothering to fix their lifts, it's silly really.

I believe they're not allowed to touch peoples belongings - there's no chance of being blamed for breaking/nicking something if all they touch is the blue boxes.

It'd be nice to show the rep on the left hand side of posts - similar to TTF if possible.
