Lordcutter6 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Nice one dude.I have only seen an actor go off for lunch You are right it is much quicker! About 5-15 mins each time. Poor souls who choose to que 2 hours when they could get on quick. There were two actors, one was in the trap by the gate where the operator stands and counts people through. He was jumping all about in it trying to escape. Then there was a woman in a cape with a red mask thing on, well her face was ALL red at least. She was walking up and down the single rider que scared me to bits! But one girl who had been queing supposively all the time in the Main que got up the stairs, saw the woman in the cape, screamed and RAN out of the building! What a waste of time .

I wouldn't go on by myself no matter how short the wait because I would just like to go on with friends. Does that make me an idiot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make me an idiot?No not at all but the person I with was only in the next train behind. I just prefer that method that saves me time. Plus, no more usually then 2 of us go so we could ask to wait in SRQ till they needed a 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely abusing the whole point of the SINGLE rider queue then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 8 times, so I was actually on my own in it for 5 of the times. Tbh I thought the main idea of SRQ was for those who were on there own or groups that did not mind splitting up. And that was a could not that I would ask for both of us to go on at same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it's not entirely your fault and I blame the staff for not enforcing the rules properly and thus making the main queue time longer.

JoshC. Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 It wasn't evacuated. And whats TPNews?Ah, sorry about that. I heard they were evacuated.As for TPNews, I got a bit bored so I tried making my post sound like a News Report. TPNews (Standing for Thorpe Park News) was the name. It was meant for a random, pointless joke though which was why I put it in brackets along with the smilies. If anyone wants me to continue TPNews, just say. (Which is intended as a joke unless there's huge popular demand...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 8 times on Saw today via SRQ Fantastic! Also actorsHuh 2 hours? Sam told me it was about 40mins pretty much all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin159 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Have to say that today was really good on the Saw front. I was working as a building batcher today (bottom of stairs with actors) and everything worked really smoothly. No single riders jumping into main queue line and apart from one idiot no other trouble at all. 8 cars back on track really has been a blessing for us, I think we have seen the end of our 2.5 hour+ queue times. By 3o'clock today we were working through 20-30 minute queue times for the main queue!!! on a sunday!!!Also if you came in today then hi, you probably remember me. Everyone was pleasant today so thanks, made my day go a lot better then it has in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordcutter6 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Huh 2 hours? Sam told me it was about 40mins pretty much all day.Well it said 40-60, but you could tell when you were on Samurai and looking at que it was longer... but even 40 mins, 8 times going on for 5-15 is better.

One was one the trap strapped in by the gate were single rider splits, and one girl patrolling the SRQ stair way with cape on. The guy running it said 'Now is your time to go up' just as I said I don't wanna get scared by her lol. And btw, I did your tip closing eyes before drop really did work!

Dan9 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 There wasn't much use for SRQ today anyway. We queued from the entrance and all the way round the whole queue line including the extensions and it only took around 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
