Does anyone know why the queue is held on busy days at the end of the bridge on Nemesis?

But why hold the queue so far away from the station? Wouldn't the queue just be held in the station to allow for the fastrack? I'm assuming that the fastrack queue is at the exit of Nemesis.

The merge point for Nemesis is at the end of the bridge you mention, this is where fastrack merges with the main queue. Disabled guests access Nemesis via the exit.

Am I correct in saying the park is currently quite busy from school trip season? Live 40 minutes away but no trips at all for my school ;(

Yes, it's the peak time of year for school trips at the moment, such that weekends tend to be quieter than week days.
Hi everyone, quick question. I'm hoping to visit the Towers later in the year with a friend and his deaf boyfriend. The boyfriend has a hearing dog and whilst I know from the Tower's website that the dog will be allowed in, he's concerned that one of the three of us will have to sit out of each ride to watch her. Does anyone have any experience of this? Will a ride attendant watch her? Thank you

I was there on Tuesday and it was very busy. Nemesis had an 80 minute queue at midday and The Smiler had a 120 minute queue at 5pm.

ASSISTANCE/GUIDE DOGS Assistance/guide dogs are welcome in the Theme Park but they will not be able to accompany guests onto any of the rides. They will be allowed as far as the loading point where they must be left with a member of the party – they must never be left unattended anywhere in the Theme Park.
I would imagine one of you will sit the ride out with the dog and then swap over. You won't have to queue twice.

A dog on Nemesis... I cant think that would be an issue, He may enjoy it, his doggy tongue flapping in the breeze
Hey, the only coaster I have ever seen specifically mention "no dogs" is Euromir (the old queueline video). So I would go ahead and assume that all other rides are dog-friendly.
I think they are referring to my ex wife's

Sorry if this has been answered before, but on quiet days, why do they only load 1 Nemesis train and send the other round empty? Even of there is a small queue (enough to send the trains out full), they only ever load the one and send the other round empty. Any ideas why anyone?
