Thing is, lets take Derren Brown, its not the companies behind the implementation of that ride that will get the complaints and a reputation for poor reliability, its Merlin. They can blame the manufacturers all they want, but when it comes to it, Merlin knows the risks and pursues it anyway.

'Remember that ride that used to be here before we ripped it out and replaced it with another seasonal horror attraction'

I only ever seem to eat at Finns as its far enough away from the screaming teenagers and has nice views of Vortex, Quantum, Rush and Zodiac. I do not like how you can't get red coke though. By all means encourage healthy drinks but don't take away the option completely.

Yeah I mean, when a company that is normally very stingy with opening hours gives out an extra four hours, I'd make allowances for certain things to close early or for rides to have some downtime.

THEY HAVE A GARDEN AND THATS JUST INSANE
-
Agreed with Wallace and Gromit. That ride was such a pleasant surprise and has so much charm and simple but effective things going on that I couldn't help loving it. Icon is excellent.
-
I'm with Coaster Jamie here. It would be better if they had a minimum close of 5 and extend when necessary but advertising a 7pm close and closing 2 hours early is really not the way to do it.
-
Is that like where people leave their rubbish on tables and say 'well it's their job to clean up after me' as if thats an excuse to be an unreasonable, ignorant idiot.

Water pressure problem at Chessington today so park expects late opening around 11am although waiting for further updates from Thames Water. People are angry. They show a lot of understanding when something is out of a companies control.

I've been stock piling my 50p's for 30th March 2019.

You have no idea how much I love this.
-
Trip booked just because its the year of the dive machine and I'd like to rediscover Helix.
-
School groups there during School week? Thats crazy AF!
-
I thought we knew this months ago..
-
I mean, they can budget for maintenance and a Dungeons attraction.
-
I mean, I wouldn’t be at PortAventura so I still think I’m really winning.
-
Thats the gamble you take and it gives me no greater satisfaction when someone buys it only for the park to be really quiet and they've thrown their money away.
-
TOO MANY ACRONYMS.
-
My best advice is to pay the £20 and fly to Phantasialand because Thorpe is just toast at this point. ?
-
The guests keep going so I mean, until people wake up and stop visiting, they'll continue with this behaviour.
-
IT'S GOING TO QATAR!
-
You're probably not a stereotypical Thorpe visitor.
-
Thing is, if this is what the Thorpe target audience like then who are we to say it's a trashy move. Thorpe isn't a traditional theme park anymore, things like Walking Dead, I'm a Celeb and Love Island fit in perfectly there.
-
I'd level all that stuff at Thorpe more then Alton right now. Altons problem is the short opening hours with the later ride opening times. At the moment there isn't enough time to get everything done. There's enough to do for those interested (Gardens, Sea Life Centre, Rapids, Duel, Hex, walk around the Towers if they are open) but the short hours do not help.
