Alton Towers Trip Reports
Sounds like a brilliant weekend .With air - you're lucky when you visit then! 4 short (the one you explained was open) is almost always open apart from right at start and end of days. Thats 40min queue full. To experience less than that on your visits before is.. just... lucky

Alton Towers General Discussion
Interesting - though I swear the cost has been £40.60 for ages? There's been plenty of tickets on the floor around park saying entry 40.60 - so they've only increased it 20p?Or has this bogof £40.60 thing been in place all season, only recently being risen to 40.80 and people just becoming aware of it?

Rameses Revenge
Yeah I honestly dont understand why they have awful settings, and bother using them. Chessington is stupid

Travel
My route FINALLY has a late train - leaving at 11.08 from London Bridge. Oh, it's amazing.Before then, the amount of times I struggled to try and ensure I got the last train home was... too many times.

E-Lockers
They came into use about 2 weeks ago now, pretty decent. They have a half day charge of £3 as well.Got good reception, and loads are using it. So, good investment it seems.Top tip: Don't put all your money in your locker, if there's a chance you'll go over the limit, cos you'll end up with everything stuck in there

London Dungeons
Thanks for the review Fever - I love yours, as they're always so unbiased and one of the best detailed ones we get on here.Seems interesting about the ride, I'll give it til after august before trying it, see if anythings progressed by then.

Merlin Entertainments
Will we get a Worthing 4d experience like Blackpool and London then? .I rather like their midway brands going everywhere. Wonder how much they think they could charge for this.

Safety Checks
Oakwood doesn't, and tbh they don't really need checking unless its obvious they're not pulled down - just due to the design of those restraints.However, thorpe tells them they should be checked, and therefore they should. Oh wells!

Mr Monkey's Banana Ride
That signs been there since inferno opened I believe. So, that's why it mentions the area.I have never understood why it exists though. It's like having a sign outside of thirteen reminding people to ride Nemesis. Surely they know that coaster exists as well?!

Logger's Leap
It'd be fast and heavy enough to give someone whiplash - never kill. It'll only hit another log (which is static) at like 20mph or so.

Chessington General Discussion
Yes it is. I wanna go read all those book titles

Logger's Leap
If that's the case, then its more of a backup as well as a physical reassurance. Much like coasters have at least two PLCs to ensure nothing accidently goes wrong, they'll be there to prevent or slow down the boat from going down if the anti slip has grounded down.

Tidal Wave
It's weather like yesterday and the day before which makes Tidal Wave seem like an amazing investment to have.

Bernards watch, The worst witch.. Woof.. Harry and the wrinklies. Original finders keepers, Fun House..Anything old and decent on CITV basically.

Nemesis Inferno
To be fair, I do like the area theme thumping in that station. It's sexier than loading in silence.
-
Chest Restrictions
Think of poor people with balls. I've never had to consider the way I sit on a ride until SAW..

Nemesis Inferno
I'd imagine they're not used fully/as intended, as the volcano will now fall apart from the vibrations.

Thorpe Park Staff
I have to say, this year, the thorpe staff are far better than previous years (though it may just be because I haven't visited yet this season).On a serious note, they have been gradually improving year on year - I think there's no coincidence that the staff have improved since that shouty Inferno operator left in... 07?

Rant
I think it's there for the other to be all like, aww they'll flirt with me infront of others, they must like me ETC ETC.So yeah, I'm sorry. But I'm just gonna continue flirting with Tom in any way possible.
