Project LC Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Well it clearly wasn't a last minute choice where engineers came in one day and decided to turn them around. Thorpe could have at least removed a fence, I know merlin were trying to put up as many fences as possible this year but taking down some cant have been too hard. Not removing it from the queue time board is an amazingly simple job and would have consisted of changing a single setting. How can a park not get something so simple right.

Marc Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 With the amount of enthusiasts wanting to ride the back row the back row queue probably is a good thing right now! David B, pluk and Ryan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Always thought it odd for them to change the back 2 rows to go backwards - especially after the ride had only been running for one season. For me, going backwards is pointless as you don't experience the near misses - the only good thing I will say is the first drop I found was better going backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celia Mae Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 To clarify, the signs in the station saying queue here for backwards facing rows have been removed, there is just a separate access point (if thinking about it like that makes you feel better) for riding the back two rows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han30 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Gone back to Swarm and it's only running for test purposes - did manage an amazing ride on Quantum 20 mins ago. Rock on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 The Swarm's area ambience music was off today - either that or they've edited the You Me At Six instrumental part out, as it definitely wasn't playing. Â The area didn't feel atmospheric without it, hopefully it's just a temporary problem rather than a permanent change. Â It was good to get back on the back row facing the right way round!

Marc Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The one before the station fly through is on but the one after inclined loop hasn't worked for ages That pool was recently drained for a week or so and then refilled so I assume it's being worked on (hopefully) Ryan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Now the backwards rows have gone (with their cameras!) they have been able to get the water splash near the fire engine fully working again - hopefully the helicopter one can follow!

L7123456 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Quick question: Why, on the billboard, where it said "Take a flight into hell", has the word hell been rubbed out and it now just says paradise? I really hope it's not due to some more Asylum style protestors... CharlieN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Quick question: Why, on the billboard, where it said "Take a flight into hell", has the word hell been rubbed out and it now just says paradise? I really hope it's not due to some more Asylum style protestors... Â Last season, the billboard graphics were replaced. Â Previously they just used vinyl(?) which had already started to peel off and look a bit naff. Â So they used a better material to ensure it lasts longer, but never got "hell" put back over it, for unknown reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
