General Queue Times Discussion

[Danscott22]

Someone I know is on park today and says The Smiler is expected to be down all day, i don’t how true that is but maybe that’s why TH13TEEN is over 2 hours?

 

[Ethan]

Surely that's not right?

Well th13teen has had long waits all day

Thirteen is on two trains today.

I have no trouble believing that the queue is over 2 hours.

Smiler is open now according to the app and straight up to an 80 minute queue!

Smiler has also reopened too! Hopefully that should help other queues like th13teen and wicker man

 

[Danscott22]

Fair play to them! My friend was told it was unlikely to open today but it's great that it has!

 

[Ethan]

Good to see the smiler has managed to survive the wave of people when it opened without hitting capacity. That being said it hit capacity regularly as it was always advertised 60 mins when in reality its more like 2 hours

Well some of the queues are overstated as there's no way th13teen can be on 2 hours surely

Based on what exactly? You sitting at home.assuming things?

The ride was running 2 trains yesterday. That is going to make a 2 hour + queue easily achievable.

Oh it was on 2 trains ok. In that case why was it running 2 on a busy weekend day when I've visited midweek few times and always seen it on 3

Good question. I am not sure. Could be many reasons as to why.

Actually, I'm sure it was on 2 last Sunday aswell. The queues for the last 2 Sundays have been significantly higher than the days when it's been on 3 trains

 

[Danscott22]

There was probably a fault with the third train?

2 sundays in a row?

 

[AT86]

Yeah it’s far more likely that the 3rd train is deeply religious and refuses to work Sundays.

Don't blame it. Those dummies must be well heavy

Potentially, haven't been on park either sunday but if it's not in operation then yes - 2 sundays in a row

One week to go til we start forensically examining Gangsta Granny's queue times.

Not really bothered about the queue times for anything except the coasters so that won't be me!

 

[Ethan]

Fairly busy today at towers. Been on 2 rides so far, smiler and wicker man. Queued 100 mins for smiler and 60 for wicker man

 

[Ethan]

As I've mentioned in the post above, today was relatively busy on park. However, considering it was the first saturday I've done in a long time, I don't really think there was much of a difference between today and the Sunday I went a few weeks ago. I got on 8 rides which I think is ok as I took a more chilled and relaxed approach to the day. Here's how long I waited for each ride:
Smiler 100
Th13teen 90
Rita 70
Wicker man 60
Galactica 60
Nemesis 40
Oblivion 20
Oblivion 10
So not too bad really I think I did pretty well with queues today and operations were good as usual
