Ride Availability/Operations 2022-26

Smiler was a walk on most of the day, 2 trains on the track at the same time amd possibly one being loaded. Again operations were really good on it

Were the restraints replaced with the new style Gerst ostr's, I've seen multiple people comment about it but 0 evidence

I would say from what I've seen at Thorpe (rather than Towers) is it's definitely partly to do with the team. Some seem to work together better, communicate with each other and want to get trains out quickly - Inferno, Stealth for example. Some seem to be surprised they have anything to do, meandering about the platform, staring off into space, generally getting in the way - Swarm, Fish. Others seem hampered by guests - mainly Legoland and Chessington, where some people seem surprised to find a coaster at the end of the queue they've been standing in for the last hour.
Towers - I can't really remember. I don't go as often as Thorpe because it's further away and Chimp is fully in her teen era so views Thorpe as her second home and Towers as boring.

I concur. Experience over 4 trips to Thorpe last year are stealth and inferno teams are on it. Swarm.. very slow

No, some trains have just had some of their restraints replaced with new ones in the same style.
