let's hope that's due to a huge queue and they're after keeping people away rather than a breakdown...Mabalzich wrote: Says closed on ridetimes.co.uk im guessing it's just updated as it's just gone 01:00pm and it updates every 30 minutes.

I'd love to know how that first indoor heartline is. Is it dark? Are there lighting effects as suggested on the TV ad?
Can any of today's lucky riders comment?

I think somethings up here!
I've never seen spotted smart glass but I guess its possible
or a protective cover was left on?
Or some other kind of effect is going on here?

Any word on the Inoculator? Do you actually get hit by the jets or is it a near miss?

Am I the only thinking that this ride won't get large queues?
Obviously today yes but if its running 4 cars at a time with each car having 16 people. We can see 64 people going around/getting in/ getting out.
I know it does sound stupid but I think giving it about 3-4 weeks, the queues won't be as bad.
Yes in th summer, it will be bad obviously as it is with every other ride but I don't think it will be a always permanent 2-3 hour queue :3

Or it's for grip so people don't fall over if it gets wet.TheOutpatient wrote:

Or it's because after a short while plain glass would stain and scratch.

Overall opinion: Impressed! Can't wait to try it out tomorrow! Probably going I be queuing for half of the time the park is open but looks like it will be worth it!
