    I have managed to get a picture of what we can expect from Angry Birds land

  • One thing I thought about today - oh, what a difference not selling fastrack makes! Even on one train, the queues actually moved today! The park would be a much better place without that godforsaken

The terms for annual passes do state

12. An Annual Pass is subject to additional charges for entry into:

12.1 any concerts taking place at the Attractions;

12.2 any themed and/or special events taking place at the Attractions;

12.3 secondary attractions at Chessington Resort;

12.4 all Christmas event openings;

12.5 secondary attractions at Alton Towers Resort Theme Parks including, but not limited to, the Alton Towers Waterpark, Extraordinary Golf, Alton Towers Spa and Scarefest mazes;

12.6 secondary attractions at THORPE PARK including but not limited to Fright Night scare mazes; and

12.7 any other event as determined by The Merlin Entertainments Group from time to time.

see http://www.merlinannualpass.co.uk/terms.aspx

I assume Summer Nights counts as a special event and therefore isn't included on any pass (the restrictions of the standard pass are set out separately in term 13). But £5 for an evening with shorter queues than usual isn't a bad deal and if you have a standard pass then its cheaper than parking!

Maybe, doubt it's the thing they'd shout about right now though. Once we have the before opening day preview things we might find out what's been spruced up/changed/added :)

True.

I really hope they've replaced the tunnel, it added a lot to the experience.

It wouldn't have to be a big budget job, a warehouse building (kept pitch black) with a wooden frontage would do fine.

It makes the engerneers job more quicker in the morning to see the green light so he knows it's working properly then taking a key and manually turning them all on one by one every morning as the ride can not open if they don't work and I'm also sure they have the green lights in all there building can you imagine how long a ride like X will take if he has to go round manually turning them on every morning it never open by 9:30 or 10:00

And no it makes not a massive diffrent a it still very dark in the tunnel

Lots of other dark rides manage emergency lighting without having a green light to be honest, it could be done quite easily.

So basically you say it's down to the engineers being lazy?

It's not very emergency is it if it's on all the time?
