They used to have paid-for guns at TP on Storm Surge (at the bottom). Let my son have a go when he was 5 and he sprayed some young girl bang in the face. Spent the rest of the day trying to avoid the "Staines massive" as her parents were not impressed!So would I, as I am at the Battle Galleons paid-for guns!

I hope they are planning for some stowages with lids similar to what was seen on Ripsaw

Single rider queue is awful.
Faster to go in the main queue.
Several cycles with empty seats whilst the single rider queue remains static.

Well they claim over 500 riders/hr. With 38 riders/cycle, that's 13 cycles, so just under 5 mins/cycle (let's say 5 mins). If it takes an extra 30 seconds to fill the spare seats (let's say 5 seats) that's 1.5 cycles (57 riders) to fill 11.5x5 seats (57.5 seats).
I haven't seen the operation, but unless the pre-batch and loading are perfect then the SRQ doesn't make a lot of sense. Then again, if pre-batch were perfect there wouldn't be any free seats anyway

Think that's a problem with the batcher rather than queue design.
Solve that with a clicker counter in case they lose count. Which is possible if guests keep being guests.
Well no, it's exactly queue design. You've got 4 people per row, there's a probability you have a free seat. With 19 people per row, same probability. Before it opened I posted that a SRQ was a stupid idea - can I have a job now?? //

They do use a clicker counter already, to ensure they don't send more than 38 guests up the steps.

They failed at that last weekend somehow.

I went on Toxicator yesterday (21st March), and I had two quick observations:-
1) I might be wrong, but I don't think that the fountains were operating (they were definitely operating on opening day, though); I'm not sure whether this is related to the drainage issues on opening day or not?
2) My groin was sore afterwards, due to the raised portion of the seat bashing against my pelvis during the final few rotations. I think that I had slid forwards in the seat during the early slow descent, which may have contributed towards the problem. I may have just been unlucky, because nobody else seemed to be uncomfortable (and perhaps I hadn't seated myself correctly to begin with), but - when I ride it next time - I am planning on wearing a groin guard (seriously), until/unless I am sure that it won't happen again!

How might you be wrong on the fountains? Was there water ejecting from them or not?

People's bags have been getting soaked by the fountains when the wind blows so they've turned them off/down (from what I'm seeing and hearing)

I didn't see them when I was queueing for the the ride (around 5 p.m.), but I wasn't paying as much attention as I did on opening day; also - it's possible that they may have been switched on at some point before/after I boarded.
EDIT: Looking at this vlog, it seems that the fountains may have been switched on earlier in the day after all - see video below at the 15:59 mark:-

With this and the sewage water on the floor, they could theme it to a secondary school bathroom!
Doesn’t require much upkeep

Sadly, he's been reduced to the Discovery pass since the Tesla stocks have crashed.
Sadly, he is still worth around $275,000,000,000, even after a share price fall, so I think a better pass is still in his price range.
Actually, the complete company is in his price range...just.
