March 5, 20187 yr comment_256308 Honestly by the time you get out of the queue you could of took a two hour flight to Rust and ridden a better operated and paced GCI..

March 5, 20187 yr comment_256315 Will there be a single rider queue for this does anyone know? Despite it being good if there is one to fill in any empty seats, if it accompanies a main, disabled, priority and fastrack queue like most coasters across Merlin do today, there will likely be some pretty hefty waiting times for guests when this opens I reckon.

According to talk over in Towersstreet SRQ are a thing of the past at Towers. Rumours are they’re all going. https://towersstreet.com/talk/threads/single-rider-queues.4679/
March 6, 20187 yr comment_256323 Merlin have also added Wicker Man to the fastrack options for those staying at the hotels.
March 6, 20187 yr comment_256324 For the money VIP passholders pay, I'd fully expect them to get Fastrack for Wicker Man. Not exactly like there's lots of them either... Introducing it for hotel guests presumably shows they're confident with what throughput they can achieve, and so they know what numbers to allocate. A bit of a risk, but I'm sure they know what they're doing with that.
March 6, 20187 yr comment_256342 It’s actually changed and Fastrack for Wicker Man is now available from day one for anyone willing to pay for it. Fastrack site has been updated. https://www.altontowers.com/theme-park/extras/fastrack/#packages Gold - £55 one shot on all rides Platinum - £95 unlimited fastrack
March 6, 20187 yr comment_256347 Glad I'm not visiting until April 20th so the crowds will have subsided - that must be a quiet week as the park isn't open all week - have double checked it's not a school holiday obviously

People express their excitement months before riding rides all the damn time- everyone at some point makes a judgement before riding something (whether it'd be bad or good)
March 7, 20187 yr comment_256396 Good front-facing picture of the entrance feature. Image from Merlin Magic Marking's Instagram:
March 7, 20187 yr comment_256397 Couldn't that metal rod be painted or something? It doesn't fit in whatsoever and in that picture, I was more focused on that rather than the ride logo.
March 7, 20187 yr comment_256398 Old silver fencing from Thorpe Park’s entrance gate: hopefully temporary (like it’s functioned to be).

March 7, 20187 yr comment_256403 Towers rides aren’t complete without scaffolding and bare steel beams by the ride entrance.

March 7, 20187 yr comment_256405 Merlin making quality, world leading attractions. It's not like the entrance is important enough to hide that stuff right? Just want to put Wodan's entrance here for comparison: Europa Just look at them Merlin. That is how you build a proper theme park.
March 7, 20187 yr comment_256408 I assume we are joking and not comparing unfinished entrances to those in Europa park to try dig at Merlin right?
March 7, 20187 yr comment_256409 Well, it’s one of their nicer ride entrances. I’ll say that. Just needs less corrugated Steel now.

Also that's not the ride entrance for Wodan, since the queue starts in a random wooden shack... All for Merlin bashing, but let's do that when they actually deserve it...
