THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
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"....

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
Cos it sounds better than saying "there's a new ride next year, please come and ride it"?

Jobs..

Legoland work experience
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!

If You Could Ask B&M...
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?

The SWARM Merchandise
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"

Chessington General Discussion
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
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!

Fright Nights This Weekend
Seems silly if it is actually strictly advance booking - towers is expecting no more than 15k. (thats average summer day figures)
-
Fright Nights This Weekend
Tomorrow will be quiet, I'm sure they'll allow on the day, unless others will prove me wrong?

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

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
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.

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

Disabled Queuing Rules
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.

Thorpe Park Staff
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.

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

Disabled Queuing Rules
Stealth has one, its opposite the photos. Whether it works.. I dunno.Inferno and Saw have one as well. Neither worked the last time I went, the former hasn't been in use for years. I would definitely complain bigtime if I was a wheelchair user!
