October 2, 200915 yr comment_71735 Dont even go there.April was bad enough, when I went back then, I overheard the fastrack queue reaching about 30-40mins long! for fasttrack!But single rider on fright night, possibly may be up until the actual normal queue time.
October 2, 200915 yr comment_71737 Without a crystal ball I couldnt possibly tell you although Is it guarenteed that there will be SRQ during FN as wasn't it a temporary thing?
October 2, 200915 yr comment_71738 Without a crystal ball I couldnt possibly tell you although Is it guarenteed that there will be SRQ during FN as wasn't it a temporary thing?Exactly, if it isn't even being advertised they could slowly be phasing it out.
October 9, 200915 yr comment_72406 No in april the fastrack queues were small 5-20 mins (I went in fastrack enough times !! ultimate) so I would expect something like 15-30 mins fastrack for fright nights

October 10, 200915 yr comment_72435 Well paying a stupid amount of money and still having to queue 5-20 minutes kinda takes the fastness away from it.5-20 minutes is fast comparatively speaking, I'd rather pay a few quid and wait for that length of time than wait in the normal queue for a couple of hours

October 10, 200915 yr comment_72466 they displayed on the led board that the queue was 45 mins for fasttrack last year. I think id rather queue in that and paid then wait 3hours.
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72490 they displayed on the led board that the queue was 45 mins for fasttrack last year. I think id rather queue in that and paid then wait 3hours.Or you could come back later . And without Fastrack that queue would have been significantly less.
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72574 The Fastrack queue for Stealth last year at Fright Nights was coming out of the Fastrack entrance.But the fastrack queue aint that big and goes really quick for stealth so I would of thought that would of been 30 mins still quicker than queueing 2hrs !!
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72576 I hate queueing for Stealth in the main queue when fastrack is busy, Once they were doing almost one train of fastrack then one train main queue, it was diabolical.Edit: Sorry just realised how off-topic that was.I really can not wait to see how they jazz up Saw for Fright Nights
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72586 Yeh sorry for going off topic anways, what do you reckon they willd do to the queue line? (like smoke, people working traps, actors up and down queue lines?)
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72591 I would of thought that they would just be having actors in and around the queue line, and the fire on top of the SAW store.
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72597 Yes, as of yesterday nothing was jazzed up, other than an extension queueline, gas canisters on the SAW Store and a couple of extra benches in the area.
October 12, 200915 yr comment_72670 I went to the John Lewis event last night which had all the fright night theming, mazes and such and it was amazing - there were something like 3000 people there, and most queues were walk on, longest I was in was 20 mins for SAW. The only dissapointing thing though was 'SAW - The Ride comes alive', it was hardly worth advertising as a whole new FN attraction, it was basically actors dressed up as these pig things (probably something from the SAW movies, but I wouldnt know, I havent seen them ) that walked up and down the Fasttrack queue staring at you through the chainlink fence :/ I havent been on SAW previous to this, but there didnt seem to be anything that wouldnt have been there before, nothing extra special about the ride from what I could see. Perhaps it'll be different today, but from what I experienced, it wasnt much Great ride though The Inferno tunnel was looking amazing, blue lights and plenty of fog, much better than I've seen before! The only maze I went in was the Asylum, with a slight layout change since last year but still has the scary atmosphere. I dont know how it compares to the other mazes though.In a way, I sort of felt sorry for a lot of the staff in the mazes last night - especially the one on Neptunes Beach (sorry, dont know the name!), there wasnt anyone in the queue most of the time. Same applies for most of the smaller rides like Flying Fish etc., personally, I'd have gotten pretty bored operating rides like that last night, most people were heading for the larger stuff. I think it's actually possible to have too few people at the park, I had done most of the rides in only 4 hours. I'd rather queue for 15 or 20 minutes or so to get on a rollercoaster than get on straight away, you lose the suspense and anticipation otherwise. I'm not complaining though, getting on straight away is still better than waiting over an hour I guess Overall, great night. On par, if not better than last year.This is taken from the Fright Night's thread. I think the SAW sounds quite boring, hope they'll do more on it, especially for half term.
October 12, 200915 yr Author comment_72684 Well paying a stupid amount of money and still having to queue 5-20 minutes kinda takes the fastness away from it.It's a reduced queuing time, not immediate access to a ride. And it does seem to be faster then using the main queue..
October 13, 200915 yr comment_72825 Well I was also at the John Lewis event and I thought what they had on SAW worked well actually. Two girls had to have a member of staff with them as they went through the queueline as they were so scared by the actors! Then they turned around and didn't even go on!Also the ride was walk-on, so there's only so much they can do when there's an empty queueline :PPlus the John Lewis event wasn't specifically a preview of Fright Nights (unlike the Merlin staff preview/social/whatever it was lol), but seeing as most of the theming, mazes etc were in place, we had the opportunity to experience them. I thought the pig-masked actors were very creepy, especially when they follow you while you walk and breathe down your neck!They don't like their pictures being taken though!There's always Monks Walk to go down at night if Fright Nights doesn't scare you enough!
October 13, 200915 yr comment_72834 Generally a good night, the smoke coming from under the car is brilliant! It just wafts around the plaza and across the lake. The flames on top of the shop and behind the SAW - the ride sign, a slight let down they go on for about 2/3 seconds and then go off for like 10 minutes, however a brilliant effect with the smoke!! The actors though a bit boring, still had a good effect on the queue line, the people in the masks strolled what was the single rider queue and stared at guests, even if the ride was walk-on most of the day they still held up unsuspecting victims!Generally SAW- the ride was magnificent!Make sure you go on it!

October 13, 200915 yr comment_72848 The fastrack queue was deserted as no-one bothered to buy any!Good lol
October 14, 200915 yr comment_72878 The fastrack queue was deserted as no-one bothered to buy any!I can't see why anyone would on a weekday when queues are mainly under 10mins.
October 14, 200915 yr comment_72968 today was abysmal!, 2 actors which were gone by 6! smoke off, flames off, the ride just lost its coming alive event completely, I'm not sure what went wrong! Maybe it wasn't busy enough??
