Merlin Annual Pass

Can someone who has their MAP Premium Passholder pack tell me what the T&C are on the kids eat free at Legoland.

Or even better post a pic of them!
 
Well when I was at Thorpe Park on the Preview Day - my friend went to one of the shops and before paying ran back to me and said "Do you have the Lanyard? You get 30% off with it".

So - that's my story.

This offer is available for up to 4 free kids meals however each child must be accompanied by an adult purchasing a full priced meal from the same outlet. This voucher is only valid at City Walk Pizza and Pasta Buffet."

Then a few general T&Cs such as subject to availability, etc.

Yes basically you have to spend £12 (or what ever it is this season) for pizza/pasta and your child gets it free. Which I believe the park do after 3pm anyway.
 
Haha! It was only a matter of time before they got caught out with something!

:)
 
Well, it's a start. Now what about the yearly "buy a discounted MAP and get all this!" in January, only for the T&Cs to be completly changed a few weeks later? Prime example this year being the drink refills.
 
From TowersStreet News:

Following a lengthy delay from the intended launch date, Merlin have released details of their 'VIP' Annual Pass
option. The details, released on the website today confirm that the pass will allow entry to all Merlin Attractions across the globe, whereas standard and premium passes offer access to UK only attractions and discounts to international locations.

The pass officially launches on Wednesday 18th June at 6pm, and is available at £500 per individual, or £400 per person as a family option of 3,4 or 5 people and a maximum of 3 adults. Perks include:

  • Unlimited access to all Merlin Attractions across the globe
  • Unlimited Fastracks at theme parks by showing your pass
  • Unlimited drinks capsule
  • Priority parking at Alton Towers, Warwick Castle and Legoland, standard parking at Thorpe Park and Chessington
  • Two "Golden Tickets'. A selection of additional adventures to choose from such as champagne flights on the EDF Energy London Eye
  • Extra tickets for two friends for a celebration.
  • VIP lanyard and pack to be sent to your home address
  • A 'special book' showcasing Merlin's attractions around the world
VIP pass holders also gain access to all other perks on the Premium Pass, as well as some additional 'secret' perks included in the VIP pack.

The pass can be purchased from next Wednesday by calling the booking line on 0800 298 9770. When paying for the pass, you'll be asked to select one of Merlin's UK theme parks, Warwick Castle, LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester, Madame Tussaud's London, the Blackpool Tower Eye, or Brighton or Birmingham SEALIFE to collect your pass. A VIP host will then contact you to arrange a collection date, where you'll be greeted by them personally to process your pass.

The website states that availability will be limited to just 1000 passes, with the FAQs stressing that family members cannot be added at a later date.

No way I'd pay it but that is pretty good and I'm sure it will be attractive to some. I wouldn't mind a copy of the 'special book' to add to my merch collections! :p

For all we know it could just be a spare shareholder prospectus that they had lying around ;)
 
Now you come to mention it, that's probably exactly what it is minus the financial text! :p
 
"Special Book"? What a load of old cobblers! :p

Not a fan to be honest, the only Merlin attractions "around the globe" worth visiting are Heide, Garda and Legoland Flo-Rida IMO.

Not sure it's worth £500 either, I guess it's the fastrack that's pushed the price up so much.
 
Yup the Fastrack along with the two special experiences. Since the champagne flights are mentioned, theme park wise these will no doubt include things such as the behind the scenes/lift hill walks that Thorpe especially have been pushing recently.
 
The genius of this is that all your friends will need to have one too when you go the park - or they'll have to buy FastTrack to keep up with the person with the platinum pass!
 
Yeah I don't really see the point if just you have one, as chances are if you visit parks abroad you will have friends or family, so they will have to buy tickets anyone, or if you are using the fastrack you will either have to do it on your own ,which may be fine on a ride where fastrack gets you straight on, but on something like Rita or Air you could still queue for 10 minutes. Or your friends and family will have to buy fastrack.

However i'm sure they will sell the 1000.
 
Thing is, as only you have one, you may as well just use single riders queue, still shouldn't be too much longer than fast rack and considerably smaller than full queue!
 
I would buy one if I had the money or just thought paidfast track cards was a good idea. Bring back good, organised free fastrack or blackpool style speedy passes.;) I think speedy passes would work great on rides.
Have a all ride speedy pass for 12 pound and a 6 pound for separate ride categories. Increase the price up to 50 pound for a full queue skip and a 20 pound for half the queue skipped. I think it would bring in more money than the current fast track and you could have a walk around the towers and gardens while waiting. I think they will sell less than 1000 this year and sell all of them next year as I wouldn't buy a pass mid season.
