Single rider is always the shortest queue out of the 4. From what I've recently seen the queue order tends to be main, Rap, fastrack and then single. Basically single is a free fastrack and feels like an absolute cheat code

On off peak days yes it can be a god send and a chance to ride as much as you please however on busy peak days it can be massive especially when there aren't many group of 3's riding together making it move at a snails pace.

Usually the single rider queue is a charm and gives me a chance to keep lapping it whilst my friends take a break.
 
The stone is titled with “Travellers” and said something along the lines of don’t stray off the path or they will disappear
 
Ooh one more thing I noticed on my visit yesterday. I’m with EE and I was yesterday getting 5G nearly everywhere in the park. I ran a Speedtest and was getting 240mbps download. I had the Wi-Fi turned off so maybe a new mast has gone up in the park but the signal almost everywhere was great.

Seems really surprising that single rider queue would be shorter than Fastpass, seems like a no brainer to me to get on one of the more popular coasters.

I actually think a lot of guests just don't know it's a thing or it just doesn't occur to them to use it. Remember getting a few questions from main queue in the SRQ for Saw last year, some has just never heard of it

What about in upper forbidden valley and near galatica and rollercoaster restaurant that's usually the biggest dead spot
 
So I feel this is probably the best place to ask these questions.

Any improvements to any of the toilet facilities or are they just the same?

Are the fibreoptics working on the tree branch in Hex?

Anything happened to the Kantanga Canyon tunnel or does it still have that horrible tube light?

Any other ‘general improvements’ to the park worth mentioning?
 
Just checked the MAP bring a friend ....... wow what an increase .....

Last year was £27.50
This year is £34

I know inflation is at 10% but that's an increase of about 25%. Might be better off using the BOGOFs.... that's a big push by M£RLIN to grab some extra cash.

I've not checked Thorpe or Chessington yet, but based on the increase for Alton i am sure that'll be the same price hike.

That offer was always previously priced as being equilivant to BOGOF (without the need to buy something to get the voucher or to need an even number of tickets).

Gate price is £68 now, so £34 is correct at 50% discount. Previously they had held the price at £27.50 whilst increasing the gate price, so this has just bought things back in line.

I'm going to towers on Wednesday and it looks like it'll be a bit windy. I'm worried about X sector as I don't want to treck to towers if Smiler doesn't open. Looking at the forecast, does anyone think the wind is fine and Smiler will still be operational?
