Single Rider Queues at Alton Towers; could more return?
That’s just a faff. You have to ask numbers for every single group- Ethan

Single Rider Queues at Alton Towers; could more return?
No they’re building a new queue line for it. In regards to TH13TEEN I’m surprised they’ve brought it back as they seem to fill all the seats pretty well so how fast is the single queue likely to move if there’s rarely empty seats- Ethan

Wouldn’t be an issue if half the users of Rap didn’t just have Adhd. They seem to manage waiting 40+ mins on busy days despite “needing” Rap- Ethan

Single Rider Queues at Alton Towers; could more return?
It just wouldn’t work on Galactica because it has 2 stations. Oblivion should’ve been priority over Th13teen and Spinball to me so I’m surprised that’s yet to happen- Ethan

Oh that’s alright then we take it. Tbf you have to wait with the fastrackers on Smiler anyway because of how far back that queue is (unless you want to push past them to the single queue)- Ethan

Well this is just silly. Why merge single riders with a busy fastrack queue. Can’t see the point in that- Ethan

This is what I like about his channel he will be honest, straight to the point and say what we’re all thinking. Towers need a kick up the **** and he has the power and influence to do it. They won’t want him making videos like this and it will definitely be spoken about internally- Ethan

Not really controversial you are in a way correct. However, the exposure that Towers get online these days about their poor ride availability should surely be motivation to sort it out. TPW gets thousands of views on his Towers videos so him posting about how poor things have been recently is...- Ethan

This is why manufacturers shouldn’t go for single car vehicles. First thing you should consider when building an attraction is surely reaching 900+ an hour capacity- Ethan

I think only thing Alton need to learn from Thorpe is flat rides. Operations can be hit and miss at both parks, water rides as you’ve pointed out aren’t as important due to only having a seasonal appeal. If Towers had 3 decent flat rides then tbh I think there would be no debate anymore between...- Ethan

Agreed I think Oblivion copes with the reduced capacity much better. Even when Oblivion is on 1 station it doesn’t usually go above 40 mins- Ethan

I retract this statement. Galactica on 2 has proven time and time again it should be a crime- Ethan

Well for the first time in how many years it looks like Galactica is on 3 trains on a 4pm close so that’s a positive- Ethan

You know when I said that 1 or 2 rides being closed isn’t an issue…well today is a different story. Most the rides being delayed is becoming an issue- Ethan

Ye for most visitors free return visit doesn’t seem that beneficial. Personally free fastrack for whenever you next visit would be a great offer instead- Ethan

Where have you heard this said rumour. Would that not be put on the attraction availability page if it was planned to close before the end of the season. Anyway I’ve seen that Smiler is yet to open and that closed early yesterday. Anyone on park today know what the ops are like for the open...- Ethan

Alton Towers, Pass Holders Or Frequent Visitors?
About 45 mins away so used to go 2 or 3 times every week. Working full time now I’ve finished Uni so I won’t be going more than once a year now unfortunately. I could go at weekends but there’s no point with the queues- Ethan

Ye but the point still stands that people are giving small updates for the sake of it to find a reason to dig at the park. Is the rapids opening later even news worth thinking about?- Ethan

You new to Towers street?😅 it’s always been like this. Jokes aside I do agree the constant negativity is a bit annoying- Ethan
