CBeebies Land is by far a dead IP.
Just cos you don't watch it doesn't mean noone else does.

Soo these appeared in 2009 first on SAW yes? With stealth intending to get it and never receiving it.
The one's at Alton just don't work - Air hasn't worked since almost beginning of year. The Smiler's DVD is rarely available too. Imagine the same issues at Thorpe.
Will they ever get a system which works properly?!

That's awesome! Why was she naked/mentioned as naked in the news article?!

All it involves is investment in road infrastructure. Don't like traffic? Make it so the theme park has priority and then the traffic moves smoothly.
Infact they did this trial end of last year with the traffic lights. The result? No traffic built up when turning left (for once!). The locals hated it. Why? Cos it meant the side roads had to wait a few minutes before it turned green.
Either have traffic, or don't. You moaning bastards.

Doubt a coaster will be IP themed. They proved that The Smiler is strong enough to get people without having to spend x amounts on a **** brand.

The locals just blame everything on Lego, cos obviously it makes such a difference all those cars arriving around 10-11am and leaving at 7pm.
They put lids on Jungle cos of residents, they removed jungle cos of residents, they had to make their hotel one story less cos of residents, they can't build next to Dragon Coaster cos of residents. They're scared to put in planning application for a rollercoaster cos of residents.
Essentially they hate them.

Or they just misheard.

2006 or so? It was pretty much after the Hydro incident which put the park into severe debt. (well, severe for a small park).
-
Lego has the best opening hours of the lot... 7pm during their busiest times, and sometimes extended to 8pm.
Still doesn't help apparently.

It's a shame as if anything, Oakwood relies on good reputation to survive.
Pisses me off. Half of the stuff is really easy to resolve, just seems that Aspro is trying to make a cashcow out of something which obviously won't be one (it probably loses money, but acting crap like they are won't help).
I hope they sell up.

I absolutely adore the Buccaneer music. Makes such a massive difference. Love that chessington is almost completely covered in audio (and decent audio) compared to a couple of years ago.
Needs a little bit of work, but still way better than before!

Other than through Chessie's throughputs are pretty poor. The only ride not mentioned that gets near its target is Rameses when only running one cycle (which it does in the Summer), the other day, it was achieving just over 830pph, a full ride was being sent by the time we had finished exiting and were by Jumbos!
I can't believe Rameses gets that much - Ripsaw gets 750 on one of its shortest cycles and that's loading guests the SECOND the ride stops (cos they have a batching area and everything is designed to get the maximum from it).
As for MattCreeks throughputs they're all completely out. None of those attractions gain over 1000, bubbleworks is no different to its hey day (they have the same amount of boats on the system, holding the same number of riders...)

And before then, as it was released in March..

Nah non-ERT guests can walk wherever they want. ERT barriers are only on the entrances to X-Sector & CBeebies Land.
-
I wouldn't say good value - there really isn't anything in Angry Birds Land to warrant it costing anything
-
Yeah it's still valid, availability will be next to nothing now though!
Edit: No availability on 6th November (the code is SUN50 on the website)
-
Considering the ridiculous amount of complaints they used to get when people couldn't charge their phone (Cos apparently it was ridiculous they didn't have them) - to then be criticised as "money making" is flipping stupid.

The event definitely makes money. You're overestimating how many people they need through their doors to cover their running costs.
-
It needs to go back to having individual area identities.. further than what they have already.
But yes the new branding.. as much as its fresh and clean.. is very bland and basic. Needs to be built upon.
-
That'll be why it's called the Seeper Room then.
Needs banners. Banners deffo will add to the experience upstairs.
