Not great. In the past, when Thorpe ran Fright Nights consecutively for most of October, they would only be open until 8pm on off peak days, and that was with mazes opening at 4pm. And, to be fair, it worked well then, although was ultimately cut because it wasn't worthwhile. The difference here is that we are seeing a real time cut in hours with the week before half term, in that they are open one hour less. You have to wonder too, given Towers' location, how worthwhile and appealing those hours are for staff, and how much of an impact that hour lost has on them. One does have to wonder why there's these cuts. What's the reason for them? The park seems lively enough with visitors. When I went at the end of July, a day which was reduced from 6pm to 5pm, the park was more than busy enough to justify at 6pm close. Presumably it is to do with staffing. If that's the case, reducing opening hours makes it less appealing to would-be, and existing, staff surely? But then, how do they attract and keep staff? A vicious circle.
