I'm not implying that whilst guests are loading staff should try and fill the empty seats... Staff should be batching ahead of time a train in advance. Whilst one loads, the next should be being prepared. I would consider it a personal failure if I had a seat empty, but I knew when to give up...

There was a study once with film where they proved that spoiling the narrative actually improves people's enjoyment overall, but those same people still perceived that being spoiled was bad. It boils down to never being able to relive the that experience and so it holding value. I agree with...

People don't appreciate how hard assigning rows efficiently actually is. Most people absolutely suck at it because they don't get enough practise doing it. It's incredibly difficult to count and hold a convo with guests AND pay attention to whats going on. Guests often argue about seating...

If this thing was going anywhere but Phantasia, I would be laughing at it.

Totally agree - pro tip for avoiding stapling, if you slide your butt forwards on coasters which restrain at the hips (most, even with OTSRs do this, like say the B&M vest) it's impossible to be pinned unless staff notice you doing it and tell you to sit back, which I've never had happen. On...

Weird! X-flight is by faaaar my favourite from the pile of turds I've ridden... I've done Swarm, Eagle and Damonen with X-flight as my most recent acquisition in 2016 and by the time I got to it I was absolutely not looking forward to it as I hadn't enjoyed any of the others. I think Eagle was...

Please tell the attendant before they begin, because release and re-check can take a long time on certain rides. If your attendant is a douch about it, complain about them. If they insist it has to be tight, you'll just have to tolerate their ignorance. If you told me not to push it tight, I'd...

Just a guess with absolutely no evidence to back it up what so ever, but since Rita was one of the coasters built during the awkward transition between Tussauds and Merlin, when investments were low and they were bought out by some foreign investor, I think the lack of SW and general weirdness...

Lmao I'm like a whole foot shorter than you.

I hate them. They work on the flyers because you're pushing your weight on them so they don't suffocate whilst offering great support and a sense of freedom. But when sitting upright, it's the complete opposite. And that's why I dislike them. The old B&M OTSR is so perfect. Why did they...

I suppose for all we know they might have knowledge but not want it to come back to them so are pretending to be ignorant, tbf. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well I've not played in a few days now... Think I have raid fatigue? Might force myself out today... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So weird because I loved that ride... Height is definitely a factor for discomfort experience, but then there have been other times where someone is in pain who's similar in size to me and I just my sanity. I have no issue with acquired roughness, I think... ? So, that feeling when a coaster...

I just wanted to pipe in and say, yup. This. Visual design of a coaster is so important to conveying the ride experience. I wouldn't necessarily say that all rides need to fit into these two categories, but they certainly need to work as a cohesive whole and so often do not. The absolute worst...

I'd have no issue with this topic if it was along the lines of "what do you think Thorpe new coaster will be and what year?" But it's not. It's a blatant attempt to make a rumour out of nothing. They may well get a new ride in 2019 and it may well be on the Loggers site, but can we be a little...

If anyone's MAP has run out or is running out soon, I have a couple 25% off vouchers if anyone is renewing before Chess. PM me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think with new rides parks tend to be more cautious, I had this same experience on Monster at Adventureland in Iowa... The attendant specifically warned that she was going to press down hard because it needs to be very tight, she wasn't exaggerating how tight she crushed me. She was clearly...

I totally agree with almost everything! Especially regarding flat rides. It's rewarding being able to see guests having a good time, something you don't really get on coasters. But they tend to have more variety of positions. A good time can prevent those things from becoming a problem, I'd...
