When I went last Sunday the tunnel wasn't working, in fact not a great deal of effects were, most of it was going around in the dark, the effects were so much better when it was the Haunted House. Also a number of effects seem to of been moved and I think part way round there is a large open gap where something has been taken out, but I don't know what.

I also went last Sunday, and yes the tunnel wasn't on, but everything else was. The ride was in the best working order I've ever seen it.

First time on Wednesday The Tunnel was working, I think the spider was moving, I think I was too busy watching it more than shooting so I ended up with 17900 (laugh, go on, I don't mind.)

That tunnel had better be working on the 24th, I'm going to be really upset if it's not. I love that tunnel!! :( (Call me names - like I care!!)

Wayhay! The tunnel was working, and as far as I could tell, so were the spider's legs. Strobe lights were all on and fine.

I was quite pleased, but my half-brother decided it was rubbush!

Duels effects seem to work on and off, although this isn't a problem purely at AT seeing as Tomb Blasters effects are also unreliable.

I have never seen the Tunnel moving in Duel. The whole ride seems to be lacking special effects. :x

what rides does the family pass give you priority on??
Ant

Two things I noticed in duel sat which makes the ride feel tacky

The Zombies in the windows that come out nearly all of there faces looked ripped and are falling off theay look worst and worst each month.

And also in the garden scene the man that stands by the funeral cart and usualy moves his hand up and down. Has now seemed to have lost his arm and his sleeve has been stuck on his jacket which looks quite tacky.
