    I'm personally glad they're actually doing something, investing in the park.

    Larger hotel.. hopefully leads to further guests on park. If not, a good hotel operation anyway. Least it should make Chessie look more profitable and worthwhile as a park anyway.

    Shame RMT will never be the same, but I think we all knew that was gonna happen. Hopefully Falls doesn't remain rockless and that £5m zufari cut was for absolutely nothing. Poor park, as always.

    There must be other reasons to building the hotel than being led on, merlin are extremely pro-hotels. They're the main things in the parks to actually make money, they're trying to add a 3rd option at towers, they're extending the chessie one, it's obvious they'll actually build a proper hotel of which they can charge good money for and make good returns from (they'll never be able to make great returns from waterfront hotel, but a temporary one is obviously better than nothing).

    For merlin, who only seemingly like to spend money on building hotels to make RTP worthwhile on their portfolio, thorpe lacking a permenant one is somewhat interesting.

    Towers monopoly doesn't offer discount because they'd be making a loss. Not even staff get it, because it's profit margins are not there.

    Least it's not chessie, which doesn't allow discount on almost everything (Nectar for birds, any sort of offer regardless of if it's cheaper to buy those products with discount SEPERATELY etc).

    I imagine they wanna keep the rides off the website, as the event is the xmas event. They've had issues in the past of people turning up because it's stated certain rides are open, and complaining due to the availability of them.

    Plus it helps if it's quiet, they don't need to open them. Chessie is forever budget saving because it doesn't seemingly have one to spend anyway.
