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.

Anyone know why the park is open til 6 on Friday 25th April when all the other Fridays are closing times of 5 outside the holidays... So is there a holiday I don't know about meaning the park will be busy - as I was planning on visiting 21st march, but would happily swap days to go then if it was open an extra hour for no reason aha!

Saw and Colossus always seems to be extreamly busy most days. Weekdays like 30 mins and weekends 60+ mins. Whereas Swarm always has a pretty small queue line. Even last year during Fright Nights I walked straight on to the ride 3 times throughout the day.

Yeah they tend to throughout the day, but most people go to the Swarm first and no one tends to go to Saw and Colossus first so you get straight on both of them in the morning.

The outlook for Thursday's weather keeps improving so I would say hold onto that date. I would expect Friday to be really busy.

Yep now it seems so! Been going up and down though during these past 2 days that I've been keeping an eye on it. Here's hoping it'll only improve from what it says now *fingers crossed*

Thanks everyone for your replies, tickets booked for Thursday!
