    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    No idea where the no re-rides policy came from, presumably there must have been an incident in the past. It was something the park took seriously though and was drilled into the operations staff. I even remember a question explicitly about the re-ride policy in the ride examination for Nemesis...

    [2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

    Looks more like mustard than gold to me. Maybe it will look better under natural light!

    Serious questions and musings

    I have a similar story. At my previous job, one of my disgruntled colleagues applied for another job somewhere else. He passed the interview and was verbally told he got the job. He handed in his notice, but then a week or so later the prospective employer decided they weren't going to employ...

    What percentage of RAP is ambulant vs non-ambulant? I don't think the non-ambulant RAP is the priority that needs addressing

    Trip Planning 2023/24: Information, advice and questions!

    I used them in 2022 to get from Freiburg to Basel airport. We booked a service at 2pm from Freiburg central station and made sure we were there in good time. The coach arrived on schedule. The driver helped load our cases into the side compartment and then scanned our ticket before we boarded...

    Yes the leg flaps are monitored and required to be closed to allow a dispatch. I have seen people pull their harnesses down without their legs in the correct position though. This is something the hosts are required to check as well as the harness. If this happens they can ask the station...

    Pretty sure the ops are supposed to be checking on the lift cameras as well

    Not sure where else to post this, but Vekoma are suing B&M for infringement of their patent. They claim the Surf Coaster uses elements that are protected, specifically the design of the trains with the stand-up restraint system that moves up and down with the passenger...

    Ride Access Pass and Disabled Access - 2024 Discussion

    The problem is you actually do need to impose a capacity limit for RAP users, on a per ride and per hour basis. There is no capacity limit for non-RAP users because they can choose to wait in a queue that is hours long if they so wish, which RAP users cannot. Since the rides have finite...

    I remember downloading a trainer for RCT to get a load of cheats. I think it just borked the game instead 😂

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    Chessington is currently polling at 3/5 on TripAdvisor which I think is the lowest I've ever seen it. Also lowest of the UK Merlin parks

    Ride Access Pass and Disabled Access - 2024 Discussion

    The rides have a finite throughout. On a ride like Nemesis with a dispatch approximately every 90 seconds, assuming you want to allocate up to 25% of the train to RAP and you don't want a physical RAP queue (no wait on return) then you can admit a maximum of 5 people per minute, 300 per hour...
