    2024: General Discussion

    Blades location is lower than ground level so it’s perfect for a flat like Maelstrom Vortex or Samurai. Maelstrom is around 75 ft apparently so if it’s say 15 ft below ground level then at full swing it’ll be 60ft above ground

    2024: General Discussion

    Well with that the best season yet comes to an end. World class operations with barely any breakdowns or delays, amazing theming improvements like the screens in Ritas queue and the return of a classic ride being reborn in Hex. Kudos Towers good job next year resolution could be to maybe have...

    Wicker Man - General Discussion

    I think it’s more a case of not enough room for extra queue but they wanted to fit a pre show in still. Me personally I’d put zig zag queue line in that pre show room and make it a constantly rolling show like on Curse

    Good to see Nemmy back on 2 trains. Makes a world of difference to the queue. It seems that the maintenance team got out some magical dust this morning to get everything open

    From: https://youtu.be/62U8YP2rT54?si=yZXULcOjT85Rou5z I know Shaun is just a Youtuber and not a celebrity as such but this video has the potential to well and truly put towers in the mud. I’ve never seen him speak so badly about the park like this and I’m so glad we have someone using their...

    Queue Times Discussion 2024

    I think this screenshot is proof that flat rides can only take you so far. The coaster queues are long and yet the flat ride queues are over an hour. Thorpe clearly can’t handle the crowds and let too many people in. I think Towers are better at limiting their numbers because we never see every...

    I think Nemesis is the most likely to hit 3 hour territory with it being on 1 station

    Precisely. Downtime happens at every park around the world and regardless of the number of engineers it is unavoidable. Now I understand things can go wrong with the ride vehicles however do the park not have parts for anything that could go wrong? Unless it’s a rare and unexpected issue and...

    Moaning about coasters being on reduced capacity is different to constantly pointing out when rides are down. Ride downtime will always happen
