The chain on a maurer attraction is always a little bit of. Due to the car assembly the drive beam( the bit the friction/drive wheels touch eg as the car goes though the station)is in the middle of the chassis .The brake fin is on one side and the chain hook/anti roll back dog is mounted on the over side.

Hope you had a good day on park. Perfect timing when you came to see me on Spinball as I was just going on break. Hope the gypsy invasion didn't spoil your day Rob

At the end of the day Merlin just want to make more money and overhyping a coaster is definitely pulling the crowds into the park.

Mine is me kite Buggying at Watergate Bay, Newquay,UK.

Me waiting for daughter to come out of school.

I love the designer rust on every ride support.

so who won Deal or No Deal then?

Is there anymore effects in the crypt or is it still just green lights?

This is so funny but 15 mins fame for me http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/news/Towers-ride-lucky/article-1931016-detail/article.html

Great trip report Divv but no photos of drinking fun.

Was also at Alton towers today, had a fantastic day even though it rained for most of the day. I did like Th13teen but felt it still needed some more theming in the crypt like a smoke machine to make it more scary.The tunnel was very good with the way it got colder the deeper you went . I also managed to get stopped by the local press for a interview and lots of photos, so 15 mins of fame here we go.

Book me in but I may leave my mobile at home.

Looks like I missed a absolute fantastic drinking marathon weekend.

Wait until the next update OMG.......

Great trip report Divv. I'm sad I missed the Cadbury World trip. It looks loads better than the last time I visited.
