Having worked in both admissions and rides last year, I can tell you free of charge that pre-booking honestly did nothing bad for staff. We were chilling at gates and it really wasn't that deep. Just pre-book. Everyone has to either pre-book or buy a ticket on the door, there is no...

Those trains are stunning

I've gone to Thorpe before and not even had my tickets checked, there was even an open barrier... HOWEVER. PLEASE don't just turn up without booking. It's an absolute nightmare for Admissions, and the parks legally can only hold so many people. Furthermore, if the parks don't actually know how...

That seems to be the total opposite of current design theory! Wonder why that is? Surely you'd want to be able to E-stop if a train moved unexpectedly? Galactica has all E-stops except for two ride stops on the main panel. Wonder what Blivz's setup is. Side note, do we have a control...

What actually is the difference between a ride stop and emergency stop button, particularly on beemers? Emergency stops cut electrical power to the mechanical parts of a ride, yes, but they're not a total electrical isolator. Ride stops also stop mechanical parts moving, but isn't that...

Okay, we all know what a block zone is, but a lot of the time the actual arrangement of rides isn't something that's immediately obvious. This thread is for those who want to know more about the mechanisms and electronics - or those who have the answers! - behind our favourite scream machines...

I was primarily in Duplo Valley, the sightlines match up, that fence forms the perimeter of the Dino ride area. I can say with 99% confidence that you were on the left side of the train coming off the lift hill :)

Looks like you took that from onboard Duplo Dino. Please don't take your phone out on rides. Sincerely, a former Legoland ride op. 🙄

Decided to throw something together already for the replacement of VRS...

It seems like the maximum sensor reach there is too small to accommodate vacant seats, and the gap in that case could still be too much to be considered safe. Seems pretty sketch having to override seats every however often if your park's quiet or doesn't have/use single rider lines.

With Rush running as bad as it has been... Might be sooner than any of us expect.

I love this. Yes.

I appreciate that, however I feel like if the area was designed to wrap around the ride and have some themed elements behind it, then not only would the ride look better in the area, but also the fencing could be masked (or all-round replaced!) by the theming.

Not a fan of the fencing around the ride. My thought process is stupid here, but it makes it feel really unnatural and more like a playground attraction. Rush doesn't have full-height fences, don't see why this would need them if the area was designed better. Massive departure from the days of...

Vest restraints aren't bad. All coasters are fun, and thrill doesn't equate to enjoyability. Air is actually pretty bloody decent.
