How Busy Is It Going To Be?


Mark9

Question

Right, so instead of endless topics asking us how busy the park is going to be, instead here is a rough guide to the kind of business the park/s should be expecting this season. It's not set in stone and remember business can be effected by weather, ride reliability, mount of trains/cars on the rollercoasters, amount of staff working on things, fastrack etc etc etc!10am - 5pm Weekday. Likely to be very empty, particularly in term time. Queue time should be minimal (Unless your name is Stealth and you have a stupid system where you can only load 4 in the first, 8 in the second and then you end up rolling back anyway etc etc) 10am-5pm Weekend. Will be emptyish, however likely to be long queues for Saw, Colossus, Stealth and Nemesis Inferno.10am-6pm. Busy but not so bad. Queues for the coasters could reach 45/60 minutes, whilst the rest of the flat rides should be a max of 30 minutes. June and July are when schools start rolling in, so between 11-3 the park will be very busy.9.30am-6pm. Should be busy. Queues for the coasters could reach 60/90 minutes and the rest of the rides queues will be between 20/40 minutes. Fastrack will be in operation.9.30-7pm. Expected to be busy. Queues should be similar to 9.30-6.00 close except the last hour should be quite empty.9.30-8.00 Again should be busy. At least you have a long day to get on quite a few rides. 10.00am-10.00pm Will be busy. Last year wasn't as bad as previously however if it ever hits peak capacity, queues will be up to 2 hours for the rollercoasters and between 45/90 minutes for the flat rides.Remember guys, read this guide to help if you beat the queues without wasting money on Fastrack. Also use the park well. Head to Stealth and Inferno instead of Saw and Colossus. Do rides whilst they look empty instead of following the majority of the crowds.

Next week the park is open from 9.30 am — 6 pm. Being the easter holiday you can pretty much guarantee that the park won't be empty, and will be rather busy. I'm doubtful whether it'll be as busy as the weekends during the easter holidays but it'll still be pretty busy and you shouldn't expect to get on rides very quickly...

I accidentally posted a thread asking about this kind of thing, so sorry about the :SWhats it likely to be next wednesday? Is it still term time then or ?

As I replied to your thread, I'll reply here as well :) It's in-fact the easter holidays next week, therefore you can be pretty sure it's going to be busy.

How busy is the park at this time?Schools arn't off in the second week of May, (I don't think?)Also, just wondering if there are any days of the week that are busier than others? I won't be going on a weekend, that would be a lot busier I expect. Apart from that, I have the option to go any day.Also I think I will be persuaded by getting an AP soon enough, seems like a good deal!Any help would be appreciated please!Thanks!
