Mean that's probably also tied into the weekends traditionally being busier. Do think its a combination of the wider increase of diagnosis, the "Free Fastrack" mentality it has about the scheme, and British people just being awful. Apart from Disney, I don't really know of any other parks that have that level of problem aside from their busiest days (Efteling at Christmas had a few RAP queues on the bigger rides).

You're forgetting that the main draw of the park are the shows. So it's not just a old-timey museum like Beamish. If the quality is like the French park (check out their latest walk through attraction) then it would be a very good option in our rather bleak industry. I think the company have done events up in Durham so they'll know the appetite is there. Shame they're a bit dodgy morals wise.

It was very busy on Saturday. Though I'd spent the entire morning in CBeebies Land so avoided most of it. Not helped by Air and Oblivion being on one station ops. Wickerman batching was non-existent and exacerbated the poorly designed pre-show and station. There's not enough support rides to spread people out. Downtime didn't seem to be as bad for extended periods though but still. Genuinely feel that we only visit because we get RAP, little one loves CBeebies Land and aren't immensely bothered about going on stuff in Dark Forest and X-Sector.

To translate, would appear Merlin are outsourcing some more parts of the park operations, such as cleaning. Given how crap Aramark are (Towers specific in my recent visits) this could be a concern of a continuing downward trend.

Think longest I saw on the app for a maze was 15 minutes. The time slots aren't as strict this year (1-5 or 5-9 being the options), but I wonder if the cost is an issue. Especially when you only get 3 mazes for it. Park is still struggling on other fronts (lack of support rides, some diabolical food options and weird ops) looks like Scarefest could be a success.

Nemesis at night is still the best reason to do Scarefest.

Since I don’t do mazes I rely on the resident expert at home for those. Liseberg's was good. Walibi Holland mazes were a bit meh. Toverland was ok. Best part of Walibi Belgium was the Zombie Bar on the lake but no idea if they do that anymore. General atmospheres are good though. Probably would need a fastpass equivalent though if available since you know, QUEUES.

Just bin it already and put a proper dark ride in. The staff intensive ride phase of Merlin really scuppered them.

Fairly certain it was brand new but it was 20 years ago.

Doesn't help that majority of the guests are MAP holders. One bit of income for the entire season. And most of us are tight when we get to the park(s) or rarely go much because the experiences aren't great.

More than a week wasn't it? Less than 55 if you don't count Alpine coasters. And he didn't ride all of them either. Just feels like a very typical influencer "challenge" that they get some attention for and more importantly boost their own income. Expect Sanbrooke to better this within a year. Especially as he can drag his child into the Gullivers parks.

Could hit 1k pph if it had 5 trains on. Which I've no idea when last happened.

Just replace Rumba with a water ride the little grots can be pinned down into so they can't get out. As always, the UK should get a Chiapas-esque ride.

Its just mediocre. Not helped by a number of areas of the park just sat there unused.

Not my fault that place is crap and Desert Race not much better.
