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.

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.

RobF Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 They could abolish fastrack until the reliability improves..... but that wont happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 To be fair they did.. (Saw has only just got fastrack now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todge Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I thought they took out fasttrack due to the high demand of it and considering it is a new ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 They took out fastrack because the ride was only running 6 cars AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Fastrack is 100% profit for Thorpe they're not gonna stop selling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korikon Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 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.

Ant Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Are the queues for saw still reduculas or have they died down a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the past several weeks, the queues have been up to an hour during the week, and up to 2 at the weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Watson Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 /\ 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeJayy Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 We queued for about 3 minutes today, we ran straight over to Saw and got straight on - it got up to about 60mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korikon Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 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?

But don't any one go having a go at me for saying that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
