January 14, 201510 yr comment_200873 Wouldn't having heating in one section of the queue only make the rest of it seem all the more colder?
January 14, 201510 yr comment_200879 Heaters installed in the cave? Probably the most unnecessary addition in the history of unnecessary additions... Ah, but just think how nice they will look with a bit of tinsel wrapped around it next Christmas...
January 14, 201510 yr comment_200885 I'm just *sure* that H&S would have all the correct risk assessments in place this time, before doing anything like that.. Wasn't there an actual reason the cave was heated?
January 14, 201510 yr comment_200887 Maybe that's where staff like to go to hook-up out of opening hours.
January 14, 201510 yr comment_200892 No expert on animals but would the heaters be to make it warmer for the insects? Or do they have heaters in the cage ...
January 19, 201510 yr comment_201193 Wait they have scorpions in the tunnel? Bugger. I walked through that thinking it was still Runaway Train. This has ruined everything.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_201196 ^ I think they were added a couple of months after opening. (Well, despite being stuck in the tunnel for so long and having a good look, I didn't see any during my visit in April!)
January 19, 201510 yr comment_201199 Yeah later in the year, certainly there in October, it was cool, but Scorpions are dull creatures so it doesn't provide much...
January 19, 201510 yr comment_201203 Yeah later in the year, certainly there in October, it was cool, but Scorpions are dull creatures so it doesn't provide much... They're only dull because they spend most of their time in that cage sleeping. Try getting up close to one in the desert sometime, then you'll be eating your words.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_201221 I think there's supposed to be a few real ones, as well as fake ones. I think I saw the real ones but not 100% sure.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_201225 I believe it started with a fake one at the beginning of the season, then during the Summer some real ones were put in (only as I remember the heat light!)
January 19, 201510 yr comment_201226 Fake ones have been there since the ride opened while the cage had none in. I think real ones were added in the beggining of summer not entirly sure on that but I know the real ones were a late addition! Currently it's a mix of fake and real and the real ones are always hard to spot!

Currently it's a mix of fake and real and the real ones are always hard to spot! That would be why I've never spotted a real one then... knew they were fake, well some of them at least anyway

May 27, 20187 yr comment_258280 That just looks like a motor burning out, nothing is actually on fire.
May 27, 20187 yr comment_258286 As Pluk said its just a blown motor. It looks dramatic but thats about it.
