So the knifes that are shown on the map are not going to be used? To be honest i think they would of looked cooler and scarier spinning round than big circles aha

. I also don't see what effect they will have on you where as the other do...

as i said before i'm not too disappointed with them just i wish the knifes were used instead... ;/ am i wrong aha or do other people agree?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

You never know it may fit perfectly straightaway but after the issues they had with the first drop I'm not holding my breath

The daggers are far from being out, I would love nothing more than it to slot straight in.

My only concern was that after the issues they had with the first drop they may have more with this one

Anyone got an update for the lift hill and so much for the Sunday testing

Mon Apr 22, 2013 4:44 pm

If the problem with the first one was linked to the toilet incident and they have sorted the 1st one hopefully the 2nd should go in fine

It wasn't linked to the toilet issue. It was no where near the toilet supports. And as has been stated many times by me and many others. The toilet problem is NOTHING to do with the supports, it is the toilet that was measured incorrectly.

but even if it doesnt slot nicely into place, we know from the first one that they can rectify it. Granted, that might take a little longer but it will still get rectified
