May 19, 200916 yr comment_56131 Well it does make people happy which is what Thorpe aim to do.Not the people stuck in the normal queue line
May 19, 200916 yr comment_56132 Not the people stuck in the normal queue line Well as long as they don't give out loads, its fine.
May 19, 200916 yr comment_56139 Well as long as they don't give out loads, its fine.But..they probably are going to. That's what Thorpe do, and it's why all of Thorpe's rides have monumentous queuelines each and every day. They have an unhealthy obsession with overselling fastrack.

They have an unhealthy obsession with overselling fastrack.I hope that have soon changes into a 'had' after what has previously happened - imagine if SAW was open for last year's FN when Fastrack was like water...

May 19, 200916 yr Author comment_56149 Well it does make people happy which is what Thorpe aim to do. Not the people stuck in the normal queue line Exactly.. its counter productive. Thorpe really need to find another solution around it as having two rides being evacuated and giving exit passes out just means the people in other ride queue lines have to suffer.
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56163 Exactly.. its counter productive. Thorpe really need to find another solution around it as having two rides being evacuated and giving exit passes out just means the people in other ride queue lines have to suffer.Theres not anything else Thorpe can do. Apart from seriously improve ride availability.

May 20, 200916 yr comment_56169 They could abolish fastrack until the reliability improves..... but that wont happen
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56175 I thought they took out fasttrack due to the high demand of it and considering it is a new ride.
May 20, 200916 yr comment_56178 They took out fastrack because the ride was only running 6 cars AFAIK
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56252 What annoyed me is that my friend and I were queuing for about 40 minutes to get on Saw yesterday at the start of the day when it broke down. The woman on the tannoy advised people to leave, so we left and went to line up for Samurai instead. And then we saw a group of 3 guys go join the queue line, they were there for about 5 minutes before they came back out victorious because they had been given exit passes when they hadn't even been lined up since the morning.It was hardly fair.

May 21, 200916 yr comment_56272 Are the queues for saw still reduculas or have they died down a bit?If by ridiculous, you mean 3-4 hour Easter ridiculous, then yes they have died down. For the past several weeks, the queues have been up to an hour during the week, and up to 2 at the weekends.
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56284 /\ Last Friday, the queue was massive, it was a whole 10 minutes for most of the day but by about 5, half the trains I saw (no pun intended) were empty as the queue was empty!At the same time, Stealth and Inferno had 45 minute but they were on 1 train
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56287 /\ Last Friday, the queue was massive, it was a whole 10 minutes for most of the day Lol it was longer than that, bout 30/40 for most the day. But still...30/40 mins seems to be an average Saw weekday queue tbh
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56289 We queued for about 3 minutes today, we ran straight over to Saw and got straight on - it got up to about 60mins.
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56290 Lol it was longer than that, bout 30/40 for most the day. But still...30/40 mins seems to be an average Saw weekday queue tbhWell, I went on 7 times between 2 and 6 and didn't queue any longer than 10 minutes....
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56291 Well, I went on 7 times between 2 and 6 and didn't queue any longer than 10 minutes....Well, I went on it at about 12:00 and queued about 35 mins...Saying that SR was walk on pretty much all day
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56294 Yeah we probably should have stayed the extra 15 minutes, but when the ride reopened it was only a 30 minute wait anyway (yes, they have died down.) Queue times for most things were pretty good, the first time we went on Stealth it was a total of 5-10 minutes to get on the front.I have to say though, after all the hype I was disappointed by the ride :/ Anyone else find this? Since I err..haven't yet gone through the whole of this thread to read people's comments..
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56295 I have to say though, after all the hype I was disappointed by the ride :/ Anyone else find this? Since I err..haven't yet gone through the whole of this thread to read people's comments..I'm gonna have to agree with you :)Don't get me wrong I respect the fact Thorpe have definetely put a theme to this ride and everything, it just seems that after all thsoe videos we could have seen more of a story line behind this ride. But don't any one go having a go at me for saying that
May 21, 200916 yr comment_56296 Well you're totally right Iskander. What the hell did the video with the discovery of the box on the building site have to do with the ride? What was even in the box?
