Galactica was smooth today, absolutely no problems with it. One station two craft was a bit painful though. Even when the park was empty.

Try two stations two crafts or even one station one craft, now they’d painful!
Isn't two station two craft better than one station two craft. Someone on here said its throughput is higher

From when I visited a couple of weeks ago it was on 2 station 2 craft and it took 15 minutes from literally just outside the station building. It was dire

The throughput might be better but the problem with that is when you get split after merge you are basically queueing for one train, one station. And you realise how long the ride actually is as you are stood in the station waiting for it to go round and return.

While Nemesis is closed they need all the capacity they can get.

We visited yesterday, availability was good, apart from the usual suspects (Hex, Spinball (which was testing), Skyride). I'd say the longest we waited for anything was 10 mins for The Smiler. Most rides walk on, with trains being sent empty on Oblivion with how quiet it was. We arrived on park at about 10:30am and got Marauder's Mayhem, Wicker Man, The Curse, Blade, Th13teen, Rita, Gangsta Granny, Smiler and Oblivion done by 2pm. Touch wood, we've had great luck with availability and operations on every visit so far this season.

Galactica was just terrible last time I went (31st March/1st April) It was on 2 stations 2 trains, took so long - once you got into the station they were leaving so many empty seats, batching 2 people into a row of 4 but not putting another 2 with them, splitting a 5 as 4+1 but not putting anyone else on the row of 1 etc.

Good point actually, when I rode last month, I was on row 3 and put with a 2 because the fourth seat was out of use

Wouldn't surprise me if The Moulder is shut because of that exact reason. I reckon it was shut for the whole day a few weeks ago and then re-opened just with it painted over.

If that was the case I’d rather them just shut it for a long period of time and get it in a more presentable condition for summer holidays. It’s a disaster waiting to happen with parents having to take their kids through a black mould infested building. The Daily Mail would have an absolute field day.
Probably was more to do with the weather. They've been having some issues with flooding in the queue haven't they
Sorry for double post but it seems towers have sorted their ops since the start of the day. Everything has been open for a while now which is good. Smiler seems busier than normal so it's either because it was closed this morning, it's not on 4 trains or there's school trips

Do you know that they are 22mph? or is that what’s stated on weather apps, as most apps won’t state wind gusts, just average wind speeds. It only takes one larger gust to make the rides in that area temporarily cease operation, it’s something out of their control.
