RnR is operating on the basis of it being the queue... but for thorpe not to obviously adjust the main queue waiting times and not piss those guests off is just silly. a 40min queue on a normal day will not be a 40min queue when RnR is operating. As for people saying it's cos they hate change - people are allowed to visit a theme park and ride at their leisure y'know. Not everyone wants to be dictated or have to use a mobile/queueing device to enjoy their day. Some prefer to have the information provided (a 40min queue should you ride this) then decide for themselves if they want to join it or not.

Picsolve now offer £30 for unlimited downloads!!!!! (on the day).

Those looking at transport - there's a really nice 8 hour National Express coach which reduces your cost from Victoria Coach station in london. If you can handle the travel time, you may well wish to look at that option!

They're having their worst season so far... due to lack of investment. Shame, but unsurprising. If their management team ran Flamingoland it'd be good. Unfortunately I feel sorry for them.

Smiler won't be on ERT in Sept/Oct

CBeebies Land is by far a dead IP. Just cos you don't watch it doesn't mean noone else does.

Soo these appeared in 2009 first on SAW yes? With stealth intending to get it and never receiving it. The one's at Alton just don't work - Air hasn't worked since almost beginning of year. The Smiler's DVD is rarely available too. Imagine the same issues at Thorpe. Will they ever get a system which works properly?!

That's awesome! Why was she naked/mentioned as naked in the news article?!

All it involves is investment in road infrastructure. Don't like traffic? Make it so the theme park has priority and then the traffic moves smoothly. Infact they did this trial end of last year with the traffic lights. The result? No traffic built up when turning left (for once!). The locals hated it. Why? Cos it meant the side roads had to wait a few minutes before it turned green. Either have traffic, or don't. You moaning bastards.

Doubt a coaster will be IP themed. They proved that The Smiler is strong enough to get people without having to spend x amounts on a **** brand.

Yeah I googled, 2008 they bought it. Shame they never recovered from the hydro incident.

The locals just blame everything on Lego, cos obviously it makes such a difference all those cars arriving around 10-11am and leaving at 7pm. They put lids on Jungle cos of residents, they removed jungle cos of residents, they had to make their hotel one story less cos of residents, they can't build next to Dragon Coaster cos of residents. They're scared to put in planning application for a rollercoaster cos of residents. Essentially they hate them.

Or they just misheard.

2006 or so? It was pretty much after the Hydro incident which put the park into severe debt. (well, severe for a small park).

Lego has the best opening hours of the lot... 7pm during their busiest times, and sometimes extended to 8pm. Still doesn't help apparently.

I don't. It's the best video ever. TITS TITS and MORE TITS.

Because the UK is full of NIMBY's. I say **** them and build it. The traffic stuff could EASILY be sorted (the locals moan about it - drive through that area of Windsor over winter and it's just as bad). They complain for the sake of complaining.

It's a shame as if anything, Oakwood relies on good reputation to survive. Pisses me off. Half of the stuff is really easy to resolve, just seems that Aspro is trying to make a cashcow out of something which obviously won't be one (it probably loses money, but acting crap like they are won't help). I hope they sell up.

I absolutely adore the Buccaneer music. Makes such a massive difference. Love that chessington is almost completely covered in audio (and decent audio) compared to a couple of years ago. Needs a little bit of work, but still way better than before!

I can't believe Rameses gets that much - Ripsaw gets 750 on one of its shortest cycles and that's loading guests the SECOND the ride stops (cos they have a batching area and everything is designed to get the maximum from it). As for MattCreeks throughputs they're all completely out. None of those attractions gain over 1000, bubbleworks is no different to its hey day (they have the same amount of boats on the system, holding the same number of riders...)

And before then, as it was released in March..

Pretty much. The one which they're playing seems to be the one they used to play in the area a few years ago. Either way, I see no difference myself. From someone who used to work on it hours on end, I actually prefer it now. Much clearer.

Nah non-ERT guests can walk wherever they want. ERT barriers are only on the entrances to X-Sector & CBeebies Land.

I wouldn't say good value - there really isn't anything in Angry Birds Land to warrant it costing anything

Yeah it's still valid, availability will be next to nothing now though! Edit: No availability on 6th November (the code is SUN50 on the website)
