Monkey Swinger probably needs a good break after working so hard to get through that crazy queue the other day!
No words really needed.

150 minutes for Rattlesnake?! It's probably more than that, as its queue times are usually well above advertised, and same for Tomb Blaster.
According to the website q-times.com, 150 minutes for Rattlesnake is the joint second-longest queue Rattlesnake has ever recorded!

It's a mix of dreadful operations, only 3 trains, excessive reserve n ride and RAP that led to it. Other things like Vampire also only one train and Tiger Rock (unless it's changed from last weekend) running a stupidly low 9 boats that have led to such dire queue times so far this season. Hopefully things improve

I don't understand how they can't get this right. The park is always busy on peak days so the money should be there. They should easily be able to get all their rides working more often than not and on better capacity too. It's just not good enough.
There's not enough there for me to merit the 400mile round trip but I don't think I'd want to go anyway. Can't imagine myself waiting that long for family rides.

You both misunderstood. Go back and read my original post again. I’m not saying that people wanting better working conditions and pay is pathetic. I’m saying that because one industry started it, it triggered a whole load of others to look at theirs and then consider taking strike action. If the trains hadn’t started this last year, others would’ve not followed.

If I walked into work on Tuesday and the department gathered because we were thinking of strike action, the fact anyone else had gone on strike is irrelevant. People go on strike every year, the trains only got publicity because there was so many strikes constantly

Then you'll be pleased to hear the reason they are doing it is for better working conditions and pay, not for fashion. It's more pathetic to judge their circumstances you don't know because you want to get on a roller coaster.

Of course I know it's for better working conditions and pay.

What I don't get is why you think this is a pathetic situation, unless I am misunderstanding you again.

How can inflation affect industrial action? Just doesn’t add up to me, although I could be missing something here.There’s one sole reason that multiple sectors are now voting for industrial action, and it ain’t because train drivers did it first…
Although that graph from the ONS is accurate, I rarely trust anything else the ONS produces…but that’s a discussion for elsewhere, and if anyone can be bothered.
