I wouldn't expect lots of wasps yet...
Make sure you get there early, and go to the "Forbidden Valley" first, to avoid the queues, then move onto Ugland for RITA, then X sector. :D

I went on the 26th March with Nick232 (forum name: Moo.) and Mutual.

It was cool! No wasps apart from on Air and some over ride. Wasps love Tom (Mutual.) and the chairs we sat in on Air stank of B.O.

Also, on Air it goes "Prepare for Air". Well, if it brakes down like it did with us we where stuck lying there at the station for 30 minutes, so its "Prepare for... nothing!"

Same happened to us. But this was after the ride had ended. We was buzzing because it'd just finished and then we were stuck on our bellies for a good 20 minuites, my friend was crying because her shoulder restraints were too tight. It was mayhem. Then they went and gave us a queue jump for another ride on it, we thought what's the point? We came with school! LMAO.

^^ The restraints on air smelt bad when we went too.. Dunno why..
We got stuck on the break run at the end for about 30 minutes
& Another time i went with ryan, He lost £10 out of his pocket and almost lost his phone too

So heres my tip: Make sure you have zip pockets..

It could be the rubbery plasticy things the seat padding is made from.

Flap

probably absorbs all the peoples sweat and nice things like that ;p
And you can probably smell it so bad because its pretty much as close to your nose and its going to get xD

OMG Ripsaw is so funny, you get soaked even before you go on. The fountains shoot up, then the ride swings around and hits the water. So everyone in the queue got soaked ;/ Funny as hell though. It was like having a shower. Then we go on the ride and the jets were working REALLY HARD so even on the backrow it felt like you were getting hit by a tidal wave :D Funny stuff
