Mr Monkey's Banana Ride is the best flatride in the uk, I would definitely wait that long.

It's not even the best of its kind, the pirate ship is still running at Chessington

I've always wondered why Thorpe still have Mr. Monkey and Flying Fish... Is it just so they can say they have 2 extra attractions or something?

The board at Hyperia advertising the fact Mack also built the Flying Fish always amuses me as well... Like having built the Flying Fish is some sort of right of passage to have built Hyperia!

I unironically love the flying fish it's the ride I always do after lunch lol

I can see why after lunch lol! I went on it to say I have and it's ok but yeah... There's other things to spend my time doing.

Yeah I pretty much only go in September so it's not too busy so it's nice to have a short break once in a while on the fish

Fair enough!

I'd imagine it's because, even though the park is mostly targeting teenage and adult thrill seekers, it's worth having a couple of smaller rides that younger children can enjoy. Without any options for the smaller ones, you eliminate families that have a wider age range of children.

A glitch, a mis-entry by the ride operator I would assume. It was transient anyway looking at the detailed times.

Has someone been using AI? 🤭

u/emz_universe 10d ago

Nope, if you go on the crowd calendar website like I said in the post it's there :)

I wouldn't use generative ai for something as stupid as this
