Was clearly tongue in cheek

Where are extended queue time closures communicated on the park though? I didn’t see anything that would have informed me when I was in the park.

Why not? I said that we had a generally good day and fast pass will improve on that. I'm not here to make a point on behalf of enthusiasts.

I go once a year so unfortunately don't have the will to make a stand against Merlin by standing glumly in a queue line because the park can't be run for shit. Yeah it's not ideal but I'll take the easy option thanks.

I was there last Saturday and overall I'd say we had a goodday but we only managed to do the majors plus the Rapids. We all agreed next time we go we'd just get a fast pass (which I hate the thought of us and them but it's the only way to have a day that isn't completely rushed). There's lesser...

Why do the other rides need batching hosts? I’ve never come across one on Nemesis (IIRC) and the public seem more than capable of filing the gates as required, even waiting until the gates are empty before filling.

If it wasn’t for this forum I wouldn’t have a clue they even had a new ride. Do they advertise Nationslly or locally? It’s kind of made me more aware of the marketing for Wickemam. Even a packet of crisps on a supermarket shelf is great advertising.

For what it’s worth my Haviana flip flops got stolen from the baggage holds on Shambhala :(

That’s why I loved Ripsaw as it was such a show and generally a great area in the park with a good atmosphere - people watching from afar laughing at the people screeching on the ride as they got soaked. The splash zone to get the ones that weren’t riding. It’s the little things like that that...

Why not suck it up and pay the tax instead? 20p is obviously enough for you to have a made a conscious decision that you’re going to game the system so the tax has kinda done its job.

Don’t people spend more the happier they are? Would be interesting to see if the the negative feedback correlates with a drop in sales from food and stalls etc. Can’t imagive many being inspired to pay over the odds for a lunch when they’ve had to queue an hour to get into the park and then...

Not saying in anyway Graffiti is acceptable but a nice fast moving queue would stop people getting so bored they feel the need to get a pen out. But alas.

Christ. The Wickerman theme is so good it seemed to suck the life out of him didn’t it. No wonder Merlin don’t pay any attention to any of you.

Re: [The Smiler] Ride Reviews (Spoilers!) I think you completely missed the point of half the stuff going on. The Smiler TV is quite obviously tongue in the cheek rather than another chance to up-sell.

Why do people love the front row so much? It's so boring. You just constantly feel the weight of the rest of the train being pulled around.

Yeah it sounds bad but then they get to announce to 4m viewers for free that it will be open tomorrow.

I think some kind of soft launch today would be better so they can iron out any of the inevitable problems that will arise when operated under load. Great news though.

You clearly know when this will be opening don't you.

I really doubt this has anything to do with H&S. It will have just been used as an all encompassing excuse just to palm people off so they can temporarily get outraged about Health and Safety for a few days without revealing the actual problem.

Launched vertical lift hill then.
