Definitely some thoosie trolling from the staff today! No harm in a bit of japery on opening day mind!
Absolutely, I love to see it.Definitely some thoosie trolling from the staff today! No harm in a bit of japery on opening day mind!
It's not that it's unpopular, it's a capacity monster (potentially highest on park) so I wouldn't worry about that!I am a little bit worried that, when Alton Manor was open today, it only really hit a maximum of 30 minutes. This is of course only its second day in operation. I hoped that it would be more popular (although of course the exceptional throughput helps with the queues) so Merlin would see how an original concept can work with the right creativity.
Tbf it's been quiet today by the looks of it. Short queues across the park so I wouldn't expect a ride that gets through 1600+pph to have much of a queueI am a little bit worried that, when Alton Manor was open today, it only really hit a maximum of 30 minutes.

High capacity ride, low general interest outside thoosie circles, it is a second revamp of an old dark ride, nothing more.I am a little bit worried that, when Alton Manor was open today, it only really hit a maximum of 30 minutes.

low general interest outside enthusiast circles,
I think it’s a joke in reference to phrases like Platty Joobs (platinum jubilee) and Statey FunesAlty is also technically incorrect, no "y" in Alton.
The Curse is the simplest shortening.
Unfortunately the team can't punish themselves...I'm starting a petition to ban the use of "Alty Mans".
IIRC @Danny was the original culprit, the rest of the team seem to have taken it and run with it.Unfortunately the team can't punish themselves...
Yeah It'll be a filter, like they did with the VIBES one.IIRC @Danny was the original culprit, the rest of the team seem to have taken it and run with it.
It's become so widely used on the forum I wondered if the Forum team had put a cheeky filter on but I've seen Alton Manor as well so I'm guessing not...
I will tolerate it (just about!), you won't catch me using it though!
