Cal Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 The current queue to get in, at this moment in time I'm glad I changed my mind on going. With people already in the park as well I can imagine it to be a very busy day. If they don't extend the opening time or get more rides open, I can see a lot of complaints coming there way.

OldFarmerDean Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 So went to inferno pizza pasta, and they got new tables!!! They actually asked to see our annual pass and we asked why, and they said they released 3000 tickets to non annual pass holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Are there queues of note? How are operations? Currently the 5 main coasters are: Colossus: 40 minutes Inferno: 20 minutes Swarm: 50 minutes Stealth: 10 minutes Saw: Hasn't opened yet.

OldFarmerDean Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Swarm is on one train and has over an hour queue, park seems like it's getting very busy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends and Family tickets are given to staff of Merlin attractions. 3000 sounds a lot but they are valid over the 2 days so very much doubt it will make much difference.

paige Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 It is fairly busy, but tolerable. Have done all coasters but Saw (closed lol sorry Peaj) and The Swarm, we aren't really in a rush for ridecounts and stuff so it's nice enough. Currently queueing for Detonator which said 15 minutes, although is more like 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 What happened to make the queue to get in that big? Did they sell too many tickets? Looks pretty bad to be honest, I'm supposed to be going tomorrow but that queue to get in is unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin The Human Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Can you buy an annul pass on the day and still get in if you have a pre-booked ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoMachine Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Someone find out if there's any new Saw merch (or if they've brought back that blood filled cup) I'll buy you a pick'n'mix thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyRed95 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Okay, earlier it was busy but ATM it's pretty quiet- 5/10 mins on most rides, we've been on loads xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 In fairness, this doesn't sound as bad as 2011. Whilst the queue to get in seemed horrendous and unacceptable, I haven't heard or seen many complaints from anyone once they've gotten into the park.

RubyRed95 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Plus has anyone pointed out that loggers and detonator are open despite not being advertised??? That's pretty good is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty good is it not?I've heard vortex and saw are closed though so it levels out really doesn't it? Looking forward to tomorrow either way, if the weather's good it should be a really nice day out! RubyRed95 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to tomorrow either way, if the weather's good it should be a really nice day out! Vortex opened around 1ish I believe. Saw and Quantum have been closed all day, so yes I guess it does level out. Loggers and Detty are in the same team as Saw, so I wonder if they're only open because Saw's closed, and the staff that are meant to be on Saw went on them instead?

Vortex is open now so either detty or loggers is just a bonus and tbh I don't really care for saw so I'm happy haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are staff stood outside saw so I don't think it's them staff. Staff at x are currently removing the temporary fences from in front if it..
