Why is this getting the same amount of queues as Kraken Unleashed despite having no virtual queue or being as new as Kraken Unleashed, Not to mention Towers is a smaller park than Seaworld.

Inb4 virtual queues on Galactica.

It was just an error lol I posted it as I thought it was funny, it's not really 6 1/2 hours ;)

It currently has a 5minute queue
 
I see Towers are doing the Annual pass for £70 on Facebook, been waiting for one of these offers.

Please be aware, those who have purchased an Alton Towers Annual Pass after 24/07/17 will not be permitted to use their pass during our Fireworks event in November.

Watering down the product,plus fireworks were a sell out last year, not that fussed with it really, as long as free parking and 20% off are still in, just ordered one.

Been saying a while they should do an offer on the Towers Pass , its the only merlin place i visit.
 
Looks to me that they could be doing an SW8 annual pass opening day event maybe?

Either that or they're just filling out the benefits and it's open to all.
 
Hmmm, I might get one of these this year as I didnt bother renewing my MAP which runs out in September. £70 is actually very good value for money if you mainly visit this one park.

Taking into account 2for1 offers your third visit would be discounted and the fourth onwards is free with the £70 price (as each visit is £26 with a voucher).
 
Yeah, glad I didn't renew my MAP. Will take them up on this offer as I don't plan on visiting the other places in the next year. Good offer!
 
To be fair the advertised 5 minute Galatica queue was more realistically 40 minutes due to terrible batching today.

Aside from one other thing that I won't highlight on here because it was't a Towers employee (but will be happy to convey to Merlin management if someone has contact details) it was the only downer on park today.
 
Do towers have a policy on rerides or anything?

I was on nemesis today and when we came back around there was nobody in the queues for the five back rows and nobody else in the station, we moved a row back so people could sit in the seats for what bay they where in. Everything was fine restraints down and checked. We where then asked if we'd just been on and after saying yes they told us to get off and walk around.

Never had any problems in the past with this just thought it was a bit strange!
