Enterprise is currently down. Wonder what's wrong with it?
It has such a strong work ethic that it hardly has a sick day in years.Enterprise is currently down. Wonder what's wrong with it?
I was there yesterday as well. Managed to do everything I wanted to apart from Smiler (yet to ride it) which I decided to miss at the end of the day in exchange for 3 backrow walk-ons of Nemesis which I decided was probably better value in terms of positive Gs and not giving me a headache before the drive home.I would generally echo Vik's post and say that yesterday, whilst not where the park should be - was much better. There was still bits and downtime on rides, but far less.
The main issue is Wicker Man and its restraints. I will not be riding WM first thing in the morning until the issues are sorted unless I am literally one of the first 200 people in the queue. It is insufferable to wait for. The entire morning was wiped out because of it!
However, operations on other rides were OK. Smiler was hitting 850, Rita the same. The main problems were Th13teen's sluggish operation and the fact that Duel was down half the day. Nemesis operations were fantastic.
Definitely an improvement, and 6pm close seemed about right, I guess.
Park was busy. Smiler was a cess pit.
As in any business, the staffing costs are normally the biggest outlay. In terms of operations, that's probably about £8/hr per host I'd guess. It's not a lot really (although would add up per ride over a season), so I suspect the biggest savings are in tech services. The staggered and delayed openings mean less of them are required to get the rides signed off each morning, so maybe you could have a few less of them on the payroll and that's possibly a bigger saving.How much can possibly be saved in reality by opening things an hour later and reducing the ERT for MAP and hotel guests?
It is no good if everything works when there are 3000 guests on park but falls to bits when there are 13000.Much better Today. Quiet park, almost everything was working well. Credit where credit's due
From what I remember of the adverts when I looked some months ago the salary offered would be unlikely to attract people from outside the area and probably also difficult to retain skilled peopleI think park engineers are in high demand. Every parks jobs page i've visited lately seems to have them listed as vacancies.

I agree. Would only recommend visiting on a quiet day at the moment. I've been a few times this year. The two off peak Tuesdays have been great to be fair. No massive queues, pretty much all rides workingIt is no good if everything works when there are 3000 guests on park but falls to bits when there are 13000.

The park have not done well today, whatever they do with the rest of the day, operations are not good. It does not deserve congratulations for opening rides late.
There's nothing "well done" about doing your job the way it is supposed to be done.
