Opening Meet 2016

It’s time to welcome in the 2016 season!

It’s been 5 months since we waved goodbye to the 2015 main season, but after nearly half a year of park-wide improvements and many other changes around the theme park, it’s time to return! Join us on park for a weekend of rides and catching up on what everyone has been up to over those dark, dark days of closed season.

Accommodation

Due to accommodation difficulties, we’ve had to suggest the Ibis Budget hotel on the A50 at Derby for the Saturday night. However, you are of course free to stay where you wish. Please book your accommodation on the Ibis website. You must have your own transport arranged as there is no public transport available for getting to or from the park.

Details of a group photo meeting point will be available via our social media channels nearer the time and on the day.
