    Well only four matches (of ten) actually happened due to the FA Cup and the matches that did happen were mostly between lower teams who FPL players generally don't have in their squad. (Tottenham did play but they were garbage).

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    Nemesis VIP experience for £120 anyone? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/YCTeKh6cxNUodNGv/ It's not actually that expensive given that Gold FT is included (worth £75), I would've rather they dropped it but I guess they've done it to reduce demand.

    I'm sure it was open briefly around 2021, @BarryZola did a video in there. Edit: https://towersstreet.com/talk/threads/talbot-street-video-archive.2158/post-373983 Ok it was summer of 2022

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Hard to say as I haven't seen the current state of the trains, it will probably be better but don't know if it'll be completed.

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Almost certainly maintenance not finished.

    A bit of a rarity this lunchtime, two simultaneous Match(es) of the Day(s). FA Cup Chelsea V Leicester on BBC1 or WSL Brighton V Man City on BBC2. Take your pick!

    It's not really that scary, I'd put it one level above Horrible Histories. I will warn you that you may be picked on to demonstrate torture equipment or to be tried for your crimes, if this happens then just play along.

    Morocco are playing Angola on Friday night at 23:00 local time! Edit: Just remembered it's Ramadan so Morocco goes back an hour and it would be impractical to play during sunlight hours.

    Dusk will be 18:40 on the 30th so you should still get some rides in the dark

    How Busy?

    Park should be empty midweek, all kids are still in school, it's only when you get into school trip season and the older kids finish the park gets busier midweek.

    8pm kick offs are stupid anyway, who wants to leave the stadium after 10pm and arrive home at 4am, especially if the next day is a work/school day? (Newcastle fans had to do this last week for their trip to Chelsea)

    It will just be a very long queue and a very late night for the operators. They will be praying hard tonight that the ride doesn't break down too often.

    Not sure I'd describe Flavio as "Young Fun and Imagination", perhaps "Laughs and Frights" would be more accurate.

    I completely agree, I was responding to someone who said they should leave after park close.

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Maxx force is 0-78mph in 1.8 seconds, otherwise it would be an insane launch

    The late closures might cause some difficulty if they left after park close as young families likely won't want to stay on park until 8:30 (or later at Scarefest/Fireworks) and arrive home past midnight. If there isn't demand for two coaches then they might have to compromise.

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    That said, it is normal to have no barrier between platforms and trains going 100mph+ which not only would kill you if you hit one but the turbulence could knock a child off their feet if they stood too close. I guess there the height gap reminds (most) people to not do anything stupid.

    Yep, only bus services running are the 32a from Stoke (£2 scheme) and the X41 from Stafford (Not on £2 scheme). Both are operated by D&G Bus (Centrebus)

    If you're from Glasgow, Edinburgh or Newcastle then you could take an early express train to Manchester or Leeds then use the coach but that would cost a lot. Same with Cardiff and Bristol you could change at Birmingham.
