I love the look of the portal, it's really well designed and presented. I really hope they maintain it and keep it performing/working as it should do. Re. the marketing of this as a new ride, that's quite misleading and probably won't do them any favours should the GP come expecting something...

Do they not? I could have sworn they did! At least when I last had an AP a couple of years ago anyway.

It's 2016. Why can't the turnstiles be updated and the tickets altered so that those eligible for ERT are allowed through (along with AP holders) and those with tickets not eligible for this simply can't get through? It would save all this faff.

Very good, very good. Bravo.

I honestly think it will be as quiet as ridetimes is saying. The beginning of the season (especially mid week) is notorious for being quiet. Couple that with the negative press from what has happened previously I think this was always going to be the case unfortunately.

Put me down for this please, I'll be there :)

True, no increase in costs. But then you have the issue of having staff members working hours which are unsociable, causing issues there.

This is something that has irked me for years. Having the water park open just for the same time the park is open (possibly even less) seems pointless to me. Like you say, it's annoying having to sacrifice time spent in the park to enjoy the water park. It also must be annoying for guests...

Why should paying guests have to wait three years for a well presented experience though? That's simply not good enough. It shouldn't take an incident like what happened to The Smiler to give them a kick and start projects like TLC etc. In fact, things like TLC shouldn't even need to be...

Isn't the TLC a rolling thing due to be done over a period of years? I wouldn't write that off just yet. I do however agree with the magic disappearing long before this season unfortunately.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35852805 The BBC have uploaded some footage of the ride and interviews with attendees from earlier today.

Can you link to the original article your quote is from please?

Hahaha christ, as if I forgot that! Although my point technically still stands. It is in it's own (already dug) pit. It'd be more effort for them to pull it out and relocate it unnecessarily than just leave it where it is. I've literally just been watching a video on Thunderlooper too!

That wouldn't make sense though. It's in its own purposely dug out pit. They won't touch the Blade until it falls apart in my opinion. I think it's just more down to poor map design, which has been the case for coming up to the last ten years I'm afraid.

If you zoom right in I think they're meant to be "spooky" eyes in clouds, linked to Dark Forest. That map is a mess, it really doesn't look nice. There hasn't been a nice map since 2007 :(

What a mess of a map. There's hasn't been a practical, aesthetically pleasing map since 2007 :( Why has Blade suddenly switched places with Ripsaw and is now on the other side of FV?

I'd either ignore them or calmly state the facts to them. We all know the odds of being in an accident whilst on a ride are overwhelmingly against it happening, so the more they understand the better.

So the "whack to save the park" is to put in another massive project in even less time than they had for The Smiler? They're stupid but I don't think they're that stupid.

Ahhhh, I'm pleased for the lass. Looks like it'll be really nice and quaint (wouldn't expect anything less though) when it's done!

Where Joanna Lumley has/had her ride?!
