How has the queue got to 2 1/2 hours within 20 mins😭 has everyone sprinted across the park to it

I thought towers said there was minimal damage. Never mind guess they were lying on that one then

How they manage to put a crane up, fix the ride then test it and open within few hours. And yet wicker man has been closed for nearly 3 weeks ughhhh

According to the app one thinks not

From: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-pc6tAtK_N/?igsh=MTczMjR6NHQ1cTZnZA== If any of you had any doubts, this confirms that Towers is no longer the number 1 Uk theme park

Having Smiler and Wicker man down all day in the summer holidays is a disaster. 2 of the most popular rides where most people go first thing in the morning. This will put huge pressure on Spinball and Rita.

That’s interesting because the last time it was shut all day it was also to do with the vertical lift

Smiler has definitely been more reliable this season than Galactica. Wonder why it’s been shut today tho it might be the vertical lift again

Only one solution to that then. They need to bin it and put something new in. Dragons fury has a low throughput anyway let alone it being on reduced capacity all the time

Shawn confirmed in his new Chessington vlog today that Dragons fury can only operate with a maximum of 3 adults per car. This isn’t the case on Spinball however as I have recently seen the ride running as normal with 4 adults in a car. I wonder what has caused this change as Spinball only seems...

Wonder if Smilers queue line has handled the rain or if it’s flooded again

How come Runaway mine train can operate in storms but the other rides can’t? Even Get set go and In the night garden are shut

This is true. Big one is a perfect example of height not making a ride better. It might be in contention for the most boring thrill ride in the UK and given the competition that Towers provides with Th13teen and Galactica thats impressive

I think by ride time @Bowser probably meant the thrilling part of the ride. Oblivion is over a minute long but most of that is the lift hill

I’ve just seen a video of Ilkeston fair and noticed that the Xtreme has 6 arms unlike Spinjam which had 4. Are they both the same ride cycle or is the one with more arms different? I’m also surprised Towers went with Spinjam if they could’ve got the same ride with higher capacity because 2 arms...

I think the fear of inversions has always been somewhat unjustified over the years. Think about it has anyone come off their first inversion coaster thinking it was as bad as they thought it would be. I do think there’s multiple more elements on rides that provide higher level thrills than...

I do believe that Thorpe should move away from rides below 1.3m now. They are a thrill park and there’s no reason for anything but thrill to be on the island. The handfull of family rides they have gives families false hope that there’s enough for them to do for a day out when in reality there...

They’re the only 2 inverts in the UK there would be comparisons regardless. Although must admit never understood what The Nemesis name has to do with the volcano theme. It has no similarities to the theming and backstory of Nemesis so why did they choose to put the Nemesis name in. Was it to...

I was wondering if anyone knew what the highest recorded throughputs are for the big 7 and Spinball Whizzer. Do you also know what year this was achieved? Very interested to know what the coasters are realistically capable of in an hour if operations are flawless

In terms of smoothness I’d agree with Nemesis and Wicker man. I’ve found oblivion a bit inconsistent this year. Front row is always good but I’ve had a few back row rides where it’s pulling out the drop and it’s extremely juddery
