I'd keep it if you ever visit Cariba Creek or the Hotels for Christmas or whatever. If you aren't planning on doing any of that, chuck it! :p


Here's a question that a few people including myself have wanted to know for a while now: What does 'Arcus' mean?

As you can see, it was witten on the front of the trains in the Th13teen concept art:

According to Google:

"a whitish deposit in the shape of an arc that is sometimes seen in the cornea."

It may have another meaning as one could assume.

I always though this was something they left out of the plot for Th13teen.

I took it that Arcus would have been the name of some restoration/archaeology group that had unearthed the threat in the crypt etc. Much like Heritage Restoration for Hex or Phalanx Control on Sub Terra.
 
Given that is a piece of artwork someone was commissioned to draw (i don't think they were a Merlin employee) I don't think Arcus is anything important.

Does anyone else think that premium anual pass holders, if they choose not to use the free parking and use VIP parking they should get £6 off? This really bothers my dad as he finds the walk from the carpark to the enterance unbearable so were left loosing out on our ERT waiting for the mmonorail. Seeing as we'd get free parking anyway does this notmake sense?

No. I think the VIP parking should be just that, and not just for Annual Pass holders.

Also, regarding your comments around ERT, just arrive earlier, giving you time to park and walk/monorail to the Entrance Plaza, & not miss out on ERT. It's not the lack of VIP parking offers for AP holders that needs to be changed, it's simply the time you arrive on Resort.
 
To be fair, a nasty habit seemed to be developing with the operation of the Monorail last year.

It would open at 8.30am on time, with little to no queue. At 8.50am, just at the time many ERT guests would be arriving to travel to the park, they would add additional trains to the system ready for the morning rush. This then meant a period of 15minutes with no departure.

This then meant hundreds of guests with ERT would not get into the park for 9.00am, but instead missed 10-15 minutes.

Don't see the point in not just starting at 8:30 with the number of trains needed for the day. Even if they back up a bit, it hardly matters for the sake of 20 minutes.
 
I never get there that early hahaha - I'm usually leaving my house around ERT ;D

None the less, the man above makes sense, why not just prep for the day?
 
Unfortunately I don't live close enough to leave any earlier, a 2-3 hour drive is hurendous as it is. I just don't see why we're effectively paying the carparking charge plus £10 when we get car parking for free anyway?
 
It depends on the pictures really. The hotel is open all year round, so its quite easy to get photos from around there. Also all the car parks, roads, etc are also all open all closed season so you sometimes spot interesting things just by driving around the car parks.

In the past some people may also get inside the park and get photos, they might work there or have connections inside the park. And finally there are sometimes events in the park, eg sealife being open for guests staying over, or Christmas events.
 
During the Christmas period, Hotel guests can visit the park for the selected entertainment that's available. Can MAP holders visit too, without a Hotel stay?
I can't see anything stating they can, but I can remember talk last year about this.
 
Christmas is only open to hotel guests and people who pay for the Christmas meals. So no MAP guests can go.

Which I think is a bit stupid. I went for a day last Christmas and the park was well and truely dead, it felt like it was closed. So I dont know why they dont let MAP holders, I imagine most wouldnt go at Christmas anyway, and those that did would spend money on food, etc so it will make towers money.

Hi :) this might sound stupid but how do people get pictures during closed season?? always wondered ???

As well as what's been said, theres also the "local" Entrance to get into the park to grab cheeky photo updates.

Rage.

I want to see the park decorated for Christmas, but I don't wish to pay for a room just for myself for the privilege!

I hope you're not condoning breaking into the park to take photographs. As that could get people into serious trouble.
 
If I was to buy my MAP over the Christmas period, would I be able to collect it from Towers or would I have to wait until February?
 
Does anybody know if freedom passes will be sold again next scarefest ??
