I've had to drop out of this one as well. Busy time of year coming up and I don't really fancy driving to London three times in a month. As I've mentioned, thrilled to see the Live name kept alive, but Thorpe is Thorpe and I'm no fun when I'm burned out.

Haha, some of the people I hang around with have a saying: It doesn't matter how far you travel; unfortunately, you take yourself with you :D

I realise they're meant for children blabla - but is there anything (other than Coaster Express) worse than a mini SBF spinner? I've had the misfortune of riding one hungover, but even when I'm not, the result is very much the same.

I doubt I'm uncommon here in needing a holiday to recover when I get back from my holidays. I'd have liked to have built a couple of downtime days into my US trip this year, particularly when I realised how pleasant the area around CP is - but generally, I get confused by people taking holidays...

A cred is a cred. RCDB seems to think this has been delayed until 2025 and I am far from upset

Ah, I only found out this existed by chance looking on RCDB earlier and wondered why there wasn't a construction topic. Another B&M invert can never be a bad thing :)

I'm glad somebody did. Every now and then, an attraction gets a disproportionate amount of praise on here and Hyperia has been an excellent example, so it's heartening to read a more measured review

I always enjoy a Serena trip report :D Spot on (I'll overlook the fact that Maverick is dross, Magnum is even worse and Rougarou is ridiculously underrated) - I'd wanted to visit Cedar Point for over 20 years and had a very enjoyable couple of days there, but couldn't help noticing there isn't...

I really enjoyed the description of the Ghost Train - I felt like I was living that arduous experience with you 🤣 I was initially excited to get to Thorpe back in mid-season, but with the Hyperia not working debacle, it's kept on getting postponed. It's a 6/7 hour round trip for me and with...

These guys seem to know what they're talking about. Apart from their bizarre love of Millennium Force.

^I'll have done two of those by the end of the year, and I'm hoping to get the others next year, but what I do know is... You're right about Maverick. Very disappointing and had guillotine restraints. I interrupted my happy time lapping Rougarou to go and get the credit as well. I've just...

I don't need to ride Hyperia to know it's not as good as Nemesis but a lot better than Icon.

I don't know what's more upsetting - having to include Icon or Voltron barely scraping onto the podium.

Pretty much just echoing the other disillusioned former staff member here, as he's hit the nail on the head. Entrance hosts in CBeebies and other 'minor' attractions are generally among the first to be dropped anyway - and the shortage is common at this time of year as the Summer staff return...

That's a terrible name. That's all I have to say...

Very, very short sighted of management - they lose enough staff at this time of year as it is. Even usually optimistic sources have panned ride availability over the last few days. Looks like the season that came in like a lion will leave with its tail between its legs. I'm VERY close to...

As am I, for what it's worth.

Just put it on for 5 minutes and I'm learning how to bring a dragon coaster (not even a go gator, from the looks) back to the station. Death by a thousand cuts.

I've had a very tedious weekend following my football team. Among the highlights was stopping at both Michaelwood services.

If that's true (which to be honest, I don't doubt) it will VERY quickly bite them. It'll kill throughputs stone dead (I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they suggest this to a couple of the Type 1 ops) and job satisfaction will drop still further, which frankly I didn't believe possible...
