pluk Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Because if you look at it now and at the same time on monday @ChessingtonSam it might give you an idea! Earlier this week was quite busy, but all coasters under an hour, 30-50 min average. Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told it is due to 'Progress'! Definition: Progress (according to a theme parks)... The removal of anything deemed vital to experience at launch but not deemed vital now, of progressed thing to save on cost at a later date.

holtjammy16 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 What's the deal with them making it impossible to have an idea of what the queuetimes are like? Half the rides say 'for queue times download the app' and the app mentioned updates times every 30 mins... Meaning when you get to a ride shown as a '20min' queue is now 70 Mysterio Ka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk30 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Anyone know how busy parks been this week going for the 1st time in 6 years Monday and what's closed and open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season Ripsaw and Log Flume are completely closed and Hex is closed this year. I don't think any other rides are expected to be down though!

The Flume is SBNO pending removal and Ripsaw has been removed. No sure how busy it will be, but it might being fairly busy due to school trips, will probably get quieter around 3pm though. uk30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Alton Towers have submitted a planning application which mentions demolition of existing structures amongst a new ride. Full applaning application can be seen here. This is a separate application from SW8 so it's possible this will be for a 2017 ride. (Hopefully not CBeebies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Assuming we don't know what ride(s) yet my bets on Charlie or Hex. (Please be a flat or dark please be a flat or dark) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 It'll be Charlie, Hex is located in a listed building correct? They're not going to be demolishing that Castle anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieN Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 RIP Charlie. You did my name no justice. My money's on an indoor flume in the location of Charlie. Maybe using a Dreamworks IP. yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Maybe the existing structure could be the rest of Ripsaw's theming, to make way for a possible flat? Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Ripsaw's theming? I didnt think Ripsaw had any. Besides the only thing on Ripsaw's old site is one of those spinning things you jump over and pay £3 for the privilege (like the one near Colossus at Thorpe).

Project LC Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hex isn't actually in the towers it's in a building behind it. That being said I expect it to be on about Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't have much but there was the smashed window which I think is still there? It may count as an existing structure, not sure though.

I wouldn't mind seeing Toadstool go either tbh. That or add fountains to it because that's what makes Monkey Swinger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not going to be demolishing that Castle anytime soon. I believe that the actual ride section of Hex is in a custom made building separate to the Towers themselves? But the transition is done so well and the building is hidden enough that you don't actually notice it. In any case, I can't see this being a demolition and replacement of Hex. When the time comes to completely get rid of Hex, I'd be surprised if they replaced it with anything to be honest. Ian-S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 If anything happens to Hex I'll drink absinthe Location wise, I'd say the following may be on the radar: The area around Adventure Land charlie and the card board factory That corner where wobble world and driving school are Ripsaw or Sub Terra sites (unlikely) Cant think of anymore.

Benin Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hopefully its an actual decent development, a Charlie replacement is probably the most likely though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchy Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 My guess is that it is for the noodle hut and the picsolve building in spinballs area. Its obvoius, from the temporary fence, that they want to expand CBeebies down that way. I think the only questin is if Spinball stays or goes. They could easily just move the entrance of spinball to the main path, creating quite a lot of space. KingNemesis and Celia Mae 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
