Re: Thorpe Park construction?

Is it worth buying express queue jump tickets at Gardaland for the main rides? How much time would you say you actually save?

To end thorpe arguments, it is having a reduced number of visitors, but they are still getting lots of people, here were the queues for yesterday

Its a fact, look at this graph I have on my website showing the wait times for the weeks in the year (it shows a few weeks of last year as well) As you can see, the accident happened in week 21, so the park was then closed for the rest of that week and partly for the week after. Following this...

I want to ride a ZacSpin because it has my name in it, but I also want to ride a flying coaster because it looks different to anything I have experienced before, and I want to go on a Screaming Squirrel for the banter (although hopefully in a few weeks I will get to :D).

I'm already excited :--D

HSE hasn't released the report yet, but when they do I guarantee it will be all over the media so you won't miss it.

Thorpe Park opening hours have also been reduced. I guess they must be suffering with attendance and want to spend less on operations.

The main difference between a Disk'O and a half pipe is that on the half pipe it is launched out of the station, while on a Disk'O it is powered by a motor onboard. So why do Disk'Os not count if spinning coasters and powered coasters do, as they are just a combination of both (on an albeit...

So is this a coaster?

I guess parks just see the effects as less important than the actual ride, so when they have stretched maintenance teams, they don't get round to fixing these things. I guess this is something Disney is good at, most of the time they just don't run a ride if the key effects aren't working.

Now that youtube supports them, I'm interested to know why so few have been uploaded, and if anyone from CF is considering filming them? Personally, from the one I watched I found it quite fun, especially using an android phone (you just point the phone where you want to look), however I could...

Sadly the most useful feature, the wait times, doesn't work :( .

I dislike using park apps, mostly they are slow, buggy, battery draining, data guzzling pieces of ****. The only useful thing they can sometimes do is tell you queue times, but for that I just use the queue times website (well I would, as it is my site, shameless plug there). I really...

It feels like merlin are the worst offenders for this, most of the time, rather than fixing something when it stops working, it is either removed/left not working or fixed about 2 seasons later.

Europa park in July, and Gardaland in August, plus hopefully a cheeky trip to paultons park later in the year to see how construction is progressing.

Yes, I actually love going on kids coasters, especially with friends, something so fun about them, and so memorable.

I guess in the UK its less of a problem because parks only operate between march-november, so coasters can still operate most of the time. Probably the most annoying thing is sitting down on a wet seat, once you are actually going on a coaster the rain isn't too annoying and sometimes I quite...

Well according to the oxford dictionary a coaster is "A fairground attraction that consists of a light railway track which has many tight turns and steep slopes on which people ride in small, fast open carriages:" So by that definition a coaster must have a) Track similar to that of a railway b)...
