lewumbrajumbos Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 In comparison to last year not as impressive but could still be promising none the less! It's the Zoo's 85th anniversary so for half term the zoo will be open (as expected) with some guest animals, exclusive shows, animal feedings and a host of other activities available. Ride line up: - Hocus Pocus Hall All guests have to pre book tickets including Annual pass holders but this is free of charge. Thoughts!?

Coaster Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm sure they had three or four rides open last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermanTheGerman Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yes, they did. And it was an absolute disaster. Tomb opening two days late, Seastorm not opening until the final weekend, and Scorpion Express and Tomb Blaster both shut on the final day. Not to mention the nightmare that was the season opening...Anyway, it wouldn't be a very good offering this year, with both dark rides currently having significant work done.

Matt 236 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Though the line up will be very sparse this year, this does not surprise me at all. Especially considering Thorpe have dropped their event alongside Towers's one. Aside from picking up the pieces of what happened last summer, if the lack of line up is for the continuation of the ride and parkwide improvements, then I'm all for this.

yeah Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Animal Adventures is returning this year, line-up unconfirmed although I doubt there'll be any rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Wonder if this one will be valid on the Merlin Passes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Where's Griffon's? Half decent line up that is given the visitor numbers and construction going on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ooooh Seastorm - they are pushing the boat out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yay working rides. Might as well rack up those rides on Truckers! This line up is about as exciting as modern day Chessington. Ian-S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Not the worst line up they could have produced to be fair. Good to see them just opening rides for the event again to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 You lot, seriously. Perfectly logical for those rides to open for half term. They've rarely gone beyond that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
