Yes that is good news given how popular it is at Towers. Will be interesting to see what the cap is on busy days though.
The intention is to cap numbers, this has been communicated to administrators by Merlin, on the dedicated RAP pages on FBJust seems like another needless level of booking/form filling to be done, which limits being able to attend and use RAP at relatively short notice. You're already supposed to have a valid RAP pass to be able to get a time-card for the day, so (looking at the statement) I don't see how this actually helps anyone at all? There is no mention of capping RAP numbers on any given day in the statement or the video, so why is it being assumed that this is the case? At the end of the day, if a family with a disabled child (for example) turn up but havn't sorted out an acceess pass or RAP and start having a moan at the people in guest services they're still just as likely to back down and give them one for the day as they were without this extra level of booking madness. It seems - in theory - to me like Merlin looking to be doing something but in reality it won't do much but cause extra hassle to people who will just use the system like they were previously.
I wasn't aware of that. Might have been an idea to add it to their statement that they put out, instead of drip-feeding it to certain people or groups. Merlin at their best as usual. Good luck to them with the media stories if they actually do try to cap itThe intention is to cap numbers, this has been communicated to administrators by Merlin, on the dedicated RAP pages on FB

Are they scared to speak the truth?
And let’s nip it in the bud now, Paultons have a cap and didn’t get bad press, they also haven’t been victim to any legal issues.
There’s a limit of 3 bookings per attraction. Obviously it won’t stop people using all of them but it’ll help mitigate against it a bit.If Merlin are capping numbers then they need to ensure people aren't bulk booking days/repeatedly not cancelling.
