The best thing to do when you arrive is just go round introducing yourselves. None of us bite :)

Thanks, it's nice to know I won't be shunned! ;)

What other rides is everyone doing? And, when will we finish on Air, I am worried about the Smiler queues becoming an hour and a half long (before I get in them I mean).

Our ERT on Air is between 9:30-10am before it opens to the public. You can have as many or as few goes on it as you like, it is entirely up to you. If you really wanted to you could go and join the queue for The Smiler straight away but seeing as you've paid for the exclusives it'd be a bit silly not to take advantage of them :)

No, I want to use the privileges!!! :p

I just really, don't like The Smiler' s central queue section because you get dripped on and overheat (from my experiences anyway!)

Nemesisrider never queue for The Smiler, it's soul destroying. Use the single rider queue instead, that's what we usually do and did at N@20...

Just to clarify, when as a group we generally use the main queues for attractions as the single rider queue can be unpredictable, especially when in a large group.

On my last visit for example, The Smiler was running with a 70 minute queue and the single rider queue was back to the actual signposted entrance - at least 45 minutes.

Just a quick question.

The Main group, I assume, will do the Smiler. I am considering, after doing Air, that we would go to the Smiler queue because it goes to 1 and a half hours a lot. I will probably do this, so will anyone join me?

Also, on Air, we will fill 2 full trains and one person will be on there own (theoretically as there are 65 of us). Who will that person be who is on their own?

To be honest we tend to just go wherever the mood takes us. Seeing as we will be in Forbidden Valley at 10 o'clock, we may well work our way round the park from there.

Also regarding Air, your maths is a little bit out. A full train holds 28 people, so 2 trains is 56 people. What you also have to remember is that not everyone will go round and round, some will only do a few rides, and some may do a couple and go elsewhere on park. So I can pretty much guarantee that no-one will ride alone.

Sorry, I must have forgotten it is Nemmy's trains that hold 32 people. #-o

Still, what time is everyone doing The Smiler? I do like to do it earlier.

Other than the main itinerary, there isn't really a set time that everyone will do the rides. Generally people will gather in a group and it'll take someone to decide what to do and attempt to get everyone to walk in the right direction. There are plenty of people attending, so I'm sure you'll be able to find someone who also wants to do the same ride as you.

Nemesisrider, as Dan N stated, we tend to just see how the day goes with no specific route around the park, it would be too easy to get off schedule with any ride closures/long queues etc.

We do not know what time we will head to X Sector or to The Smiler itself, however if you do wish to do it early and that is not what the main group have chosen, anyone is welcome to split from the main group then re join us later as this is what happens naturally throughout the day.
