It's kinda interesting in that it shows the almost butterfly effect that the incident had. It affected everything related to the Smiler, even things as minor as a mobile game.

True, being stuck on the stairs for 20 minutes doesn't exactly scream a good throughput.

At this point, I'm not even that fussy about what flat they put in, as long as a new intense flat is put in the park I'm happy.

Yeah, the pit got jetwashed and drsined recently, why bother if they were giving up on it? Plus, besides Wicker Man it had the longest queue times for pretty much the whole year. And that's running 3/4 trains usually.

True, although the Smiler ads were still pretty good.

It's a shame it took so long for the upload of part 2, I almost forgot it was even neant to be a series.

It's a good time killer, what more is there to say?

Eh, personally I'm a much bigger fan of the theming of Galactica than that of Air. Air's theming was kinda lame in all honesty, with not much to it, at least Galactica has an actual theme, a space theme is far more interesting and fleshed out than... Air.

Yeah, across my 30-40 visits to the park last year, I never saw Oblivion's queue drop any higher than 15 minutes. It's a shame, Oblivion is one of my personal favourites, I mean I'm wearing an Oblivion hoodie while typing this. But hey, shorter queues isn't something I'm gonna complain about...

It's kinda a shame, it's one of the parks most unique rides in that it's a launched coaster and not a more standard chainlift. But it's just not particularly exciting and the first half is far too rough for me personally. Couple that with the pretty non-existent theming and it usually ends up...

I totally agree that Nemesis isn't as popular among non-enthusiasts. I was discussing more that Rita is dwindling in popularity at this point, and that Nemesis is far more popular than Rita is.

Personally, I think pins for the vending machines in queues would be pretty cool. And they could do retro badges for the ones that don't work anymore.

And, in general, even if it did have a better throughput, that wouldn't automatically make it a better ride. It could just mean the park does a good job of marketing it to people, especially with the amount of fastpasses that include Rita.

Yeah, honestly, since the 3D cinema has been laying dormant for years and the removal of the Twirling Toadstool, CCL is pretty dormant at the moment. It's a shame really but, yeah it wouldn't surprise me to see it shut down for a while. Although the driving school revamp brought some more...

That's what I thought, it's still on their website too so I can assume it will stay open. I see them getting rid of it soon though. The ride gets virtually no riders compared to the rest of the park, even for a children's ride, and with multiple frog hoppers in the park now I can't see those...

Just thought i'd revisit this like a year later, I've played through the game numerous times now from that download and it plays perfectly fine. I've had no viruses or anything so, yeah, I totally recommend it!

As I already said, that's more down to throughput than popularity. A big queue in this instance just means it doesn't have a great rider capacity, it's not a good judge of popularity at all.

So, what's the fate for the original frog hopper? Are they leaving it there until no one rides it or are they gonna get rid?

it gets pretty large queues but I'd put that down to throughput as opposed to popularity. No one gets off of Rita thinking "Wow that was great!"

Exactly, theming adds so much more to a ride, even if the general public don't entirely appreciate it at first, people would so much rather ride a fully themed and impressive, clean looking ride than a barely maintained or plain looking one. Take Wicker Man, for example, it wouldn't be anywhere...
