The way it worked last year is you choose a date and tell them where you'd like to see. Of course, there may be limitations, but just ask for what you want and see what happens! I think they give you time though, so they can fit in with other VIP guests and the engineers' schedules.

The VIP are usually really quick to respond to emails and give as much detail with any questions you have, so if you have any other questions, probably best to ask them directly!

Thank you so much!

I really reccommend the stealth back stage tour. A bunch of the mania lot, myself included, did it last year and it was extremely interesting. That coupled with Swarm's lift hill was a near perfect day.

 

 

my pics for the day can be found here if your interested.

I have booked a coaster climb in April (very excited!).
 

I was just wondering if they are limited by the weather at all?

Only severe weather will cancel them. I've done one in very cold and windy conditions, and one in wet and windy conditions and had no problems. If the weather is particularly bad on your day, email them and just double check if it's still on / if you'd like to rearrange. They're always quick to respond and very helpful.

Enjoy!

I've seen people go up in extreme wet, and quite windy weather. I imagine there is an upper limit on the wind, but the big one is thunder; any hint of an electrical storm and it won't be happening. I imagine snow is an outside possibility in April, which would probably be a no also.

Thank you for the answers guys!

When we went up Smiler in April last year it was raining, pretty windy etc. Josh has been up Colossus in some strong wind too and has photo evidence

If you think of ride operating conditions, that pretty much sums it up. It has to be safe to evac on a lift for it to be open.... So icy conditions snow and thunder and some rides have wind restrictions. Colossus shakes massivly even on a calm day

Just a quick question abour coaster climbs as Thorpe havnt replied to me yet.

On the day, do I need to "check-in" and if so where and when?

Nope; just head to the exit of the coaster you've chosen at the end of the day (unless they've already told you to go elsewhere)
