depends on if they trained enough crew for opening.

I don't accept that and see it as a cop out. If you can't maintain your standards while doing other new projects that bring in additional revenue, then you shouldn't do other projects. We've had occurrences over the more than two decades that this forum has existed where someone has called out an effect not working and it's very quickly been resolved. Sometimes things have been waiting parts or a qualified tech and it takes longer. And sometimes the park is just poor at maintaining things. It's not ideal for it to have this kind of issue right before peak season, but sometimes things happen and i'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt in the short term - so I agree - hopefully they get back on top of things in the near future - but saying KC and BB are the reason for the rest of the park falling into disrepair should never be seen as an acceptable excuse.

It doesn't surprise me that you'd choose to nitpick that particular phrase... At any rate, I wouldn't call a slide a ride either. You better go tell Village because they refer to slides separately too!

I can't say 'all'. they had some cracker videos pushed out a while back. I know there's some really passionate people up there, but there's also some people who just don't get it. The jokes on them though, really.

They've had literal years to come up with a relaunch campaign and these videos just feel a bit flat. There's no excitement here.

Loving the nice clean feel of the new forum. Thanks for the upgrade Richard. No issues so far but I did find that the multiquote feature doesn't automatically insert a line break between each quote so you can comment after each quoted reply - I found there is an "Enter" arrow at the bottom right of each quote I could use to insert line breaks - Not a bug or issue now I found the solution but posting here so others who encounter the same issue know how to fix.

I don't know about that... Fully 6 has always been deathly slow. Ops have told me the rash shirt is what slows you down - but in today's cancer-aware swim culture - they should be designing slides that don't have this issue. This shits me. If you want to do filming, do it before park open. If you've got influencers who only come during trading hours - they should be given the full 'wait in the line' experience.

The video in the reply above yours shows fast track, and what appears to be general standby. There's no way you'd fit single rider up that corridor - and they're certainly not going to prioritise capacity over making money off queue jump passes. It's been said it's just the beginning of the video, and if that's the case i'm not against it - you can't skip credits on stuff like that - but even if it isn't, i'd be totally ok if they'd worked out a sponsorship deal for it. In my view, watching what I assume is a 'making of' \ 'behind the scenes' video while standing in a queueline, even without HBO branding - isn't quite the embodiment of 'immersion'. If you want immersion in a queue line, check out WOZ or Jungle Rush, because it isn't projector screens playing movie clips.

Like last time i'm sure they'll mysteriously sell out on the day of, while still having plenty of tickets available to sell at the gate.

That's really interesting. So to contextualise these references: Seat 1 faces the queueline Seat 10 faces Tailspin Seat 20 faces shockwave \ dreamland Seat 30 faces main street. I'll have to try facing main street.

Something I forgot to add though is that the ride parks in the exact same spot every time. The numbered seats are always in the same position. As far as I could tell from watching a few cycles, this isn't a jog setting at the end of the cycle - meaning that each seat uniquely differs in its ride experience, while the same seat will generally give the same experience on every ride - for example, seat 1 always seemed to be at the apex of each swing \ seat 20 always seemed to be at the bottom, with 10\30 on the sides. Not a scientific observation by any means, just my own observations - so could be totally wrong - interested if anyone else observes the same...

...and a water ride, and eureka mountain and probably half a dozen other things that were removed without replacement. they're still doing great - but there's still a lot of holes in the lineup.

Absolutely. Hurts nobody, costs nothing, ambient sounds were already part of the package so chucking it in there as a little nod is perfect. Of course everyone is wired differently - i'm certainly not the yardstick (age does things to your inner ear) but when my son tapped out, it highlighted to me that there may be an issue there.

Yeah the old walls were a foam molded product that didn't meet fire performance standards like the internals of the ride and were removed. The new walls do look mostly 2d flats with the embellishments around the screen and props. Smoke in the fountain was always there, just low performance IRL. The images have either done a long exposure which has exaggerated the fog, or they've improved \ upgraded the device responsible.
