…which it never does, even if the third train does exist and hasn’t been cannibalised for parts.Vampire has got decent capacity when it ran 3 trains.
Does it still exist? Does anyone know?

They’d need extra staff to make running 3 trains worthwhile as generally it’s stacking on 2. You’d end up with trains being held on the second lift hill which is a little disconcerting for unfamiliar riders.
Ops were the best I’ve seen in years when we visited a few weeks ago, first time I can remember 2 trains on the track simultaneously but I still think the benefit would be negligible overall. Plus it goes down a lot so it’s an extra potential problem, especially if stuck on the second lift.

That’s the second issue there are not enough proper block brakes on vampire to allow 3 trains since before the smiler incident, Chessington were looking to add an extra set of brakes outside the building on the return to the station to keep 3 trains since ops but never materialised.They’d need extra staff to make running 3 trains worthwhile as generally it’s stacking on 2.
