October 17, 201311 yr comment_170786 There were lots of extra bodies today due to the teachers strike; loads of extra adults too, who took their children along. Luckily for me, my particular ride functioned well, as did the team. The queues dropped drastically from about 2.30p.m., and it looked walk on at Nemesis Inferno, SWARM and Stealth for quite a while. The speaker system on the Stealth platform is knackered, or rather the amp. is. Cannot even understand what the announcements are due to the distortion.

I agree with this - hopefully they'll sort it out over closed season. (As well as bringing back the entrance theme! )
October 17, 201311 yr comment_170791 I'm going on saturday(unfortunately not with the meet!) but seeing as you guys will all be there, I am gonna say very busy I would probably estimate 90-120 min queues for the mazes like it was last Saturday. The rides will probably be about 60-90 mins. That's just my guessing! Could be a lot less busy or more busy! If I bump into you guys will say hi Hi TPJames thanks but I hardly think it will be 2 hours maybe BWP but not the others as it is not half term yet, I suspect 60minutes max It won't be that busy if its due to rain I agree atleast I'm hoping it will rain means faster rides and smaller queues
October 17, 201311 yr comment_170792 How busy do you think it will be next friday??? Next Friday could be quite busy, as it is the day before term and I think that a few schools have an inset day.
October 19, 201311 yr comment_170871 Ive got the option of Fright nights from anytime from the Friday 25th October to Sunday 3rd November. This is now the major peak half term week so I was wondering what sort of queues we are looking at for these days(for rides and mazes) and what day out of these would be least busy? I was thinking Friday 25th and Sunday 3rd but can someone tell me what would hopefully be emptiest? I'm hoping to make 2 more trips so was wondering if these are the two emptiest days as I could go then? Can someone please help Many thanks guys (:
October 21, 201311 yr comment_171000 I'm going on the 28th, and we have the option of buying FT for the main 5 rides or the mazes, I said it would be better for the rides, as with the maze queues there will be actors in the queue to keep us entertained?
October 23, 201311 yr comment_171106 Why is Monday 4th of November open till 8pm. Is it to celebrate the closing of the park? Anyway I will be going hopefully it won't be too busy.

October 24, 201311 yr comment_171116 I'm planning to go on Sunday 3rd November to fright nights as was thinking it would be the emptiest day of the half term week? Is this correct and how long do you guys think the queues for the mazes and rides will be? Thanks
October 24, 201311 yr comment_171118 Originally Monday 4th and Sunday 3rd were going to be 10-8 days as they were considering running fireworks on these two dates but that changed before the season began. Sunday 3rd should be fairly quiet (I certainly hope so as there's a few of us going from here!) but you can't ever be certain. On Saturday though Swarm and Colossus were walk on from 9 and that was a fairly busy day!
October 24, 201311 yr comment_171119 Change of plan actually, we are planning to go this sunday(27th). I know it will be busier but can anyone tell me if it will be massive queues like during next week(2 hours!?). Many thanks...
October 27, 201311 yr comment_171323 The park was packed tonight! Asylum was at 90 minutes for most of the day/night, Cabin averaging at around 70 mins, Saw Alive 60 mins and I saw My Bloody Valentine get up to 140 mins! Not very impressed with today.
October 28, 201311 yr comment_171340 I know! I don't think the theory works in school holidays (although it did in the weeks leading up to them).

Asylum was at 90 minutes for most of the day/night, Cabin averaging at around 70 mins, Saw Alive 60 mins and I saw My Bloody Valentine get up to 140 mins! Not very impressed with today. Theme Park gets busy during its most important event of the year during half term week. World, rocked.
October 28, 201311 yr comment_171367 ^ Nope, I just hoped that it would be quieter because of the forecast.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_171445 On the 1st? I'm going with my friend who's never ridden stealth before. I hope to surprise him. Do you guys know if it'll be packed or what (we're going for rollercoasters only and will leave at 5pm)

Do you guys know if it'll be packed or what (we're going for rollercoasters only and will leave at 5pm) I personally think that it will be quite busy, but what I can recommend is to get there for when it opens and go straight to Colossus, then saw as allot of people still go the other way. You should be able to get on both of them straight away. Once the mazes open the coaster ques will definitely die down. You will be able to at least do all the rides once.
October 31, 201311 yr comment_171464 This darned rain was supposed to have been clear by 0800, now I'm having another cup of tea before I leave, to tackle the hoards.
