Ride Availability/Operations 2022-25

[Alphe86]

Wasn't last year's arrival impacted by some pretty bad flooding and/or road closures in the local area as well?

Not sure. We went our usual route and was standstill

Beautiful weather on park today. Rita running like a dream today. Very underrated in my opinion. 4 trains on Smiler and the baggage hold open brilliant ops on there

Has the station building exterior/the half way point been cleaned at all? Saw a video and the exterior did look better but it was hard to tell

Whatever it is, it has a queue

What is it must be a way to work it out lol

 

[Danscott22]

It's probably one of the Skyride stations, because The Towers station is showing as open, when it isn't

Towers street has its own which was closed.

Could it be for the Donut stall? Always a queue when I go

 

[AT86]

App has been updated following the buy out days presumably ready for Saturday.

Skyride, Get Set Go and FV attractions are now added.

Rapids and Hex are still missing. Rapids perhaps not a surprise, but concerning if Hex is due for even more downtime.

Rapids and Hex off until April

Means delaying our trip as they are two rides my 1.2 club kids can actually go on.

And Skyride too.

Can't say I'm surprised, but it's not a great look to have 3 attractions not ready for the start of the season. Hex is the biggest disappointment, seeing as they put work in to it being able to re-open last year. I suspect it has needed yet more relatively substantial work over the closed season.

Hopefully doesn't keep extending onwards and onwards until it's "summer 2025".

Also hoping they haven't installed a sticking-out door shroud anywhere again this year too.

e: towers times are apparently stating oblivion and galactica now have a SRQ too. Interesting times... https://www.towerstimes.co.uk/news/2025/03/10/alton-towers-resort-update-march-2025/

It does say April, but it says they will open after Alton after dark has finished. I guess that’s only 7 days worth of operation. Oblivion and Galactica having single rider is a massive help

Be interesting to see where they have squeezed the SRQs in. Oblivion's station is jampacked enough as-is
