My family were at dreamland afew weeks ago, The brakemen were trying to brake their record for the train to go round the track and we were told that John had set the new record after my dad spoke to Dave so dose John put the brake on more.

Hi to you all, John does hold the record for the fastest ride at 2mins 53secs, however when John drives the train with customers onboard he drives at a safe and controlled speed. As John is the most experienced driver on the ride it probably seems like he is the slowest but in theory this is how the ride should be driven.
