Quick Questions 2012

I'd guess that it's 12, because of the age of entry.
A child is classed up to 12 for the entrance price, so I guess that it'll be the same.

It is 12 or over.

Trebor, the assistant will ask ages of the children. But if your looking for a cheap deal there try and get the vouchers being given out at the start of the day for 20% off your meal.

When is the best time of day (on a working day) to ride Sub-Terra?

At 10am when it opens, at about 12-1 when people start having lunch, or at 4:30 as people are leaving.
 
When does burger kings contract end and do you think it will be replaced by alton towers own brand such as what they have done with pizza hut and KFC in the pasted
 
As far as people are aware, it is either rumoured to end this year or is only renewed on a rolling year basis. This would leave Towers free to take over the outlets at the end of any season they wish.

There is constant rumour surrounding some kind of own brand burger outlet coming into play next season but this is pure speculation.

Likewise though children 3 and under are free

Burger King is on a year by year rolling contract, this is the reason the got the deal over McDonalds as McD's wanted a longer fixed contract.

I imagine at some point we will see Merlins own burger shops. Keep your eye on the south-parks as most food concepts are trialed down there.

I wouldn't class the Tavern or Woodcutters as the same 'kind' of burger place as BK is... They are more up-market in my opinion. Were an own brand burger outlet to move into the large BK unit in CCL or one of the small units in Mutiny or FV - I think it would be of a cheaper price and with a menu more like Burger King has.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the three units were used for different Merlin brands. For example, a new burger brand in the CCL Burger King, a Roast and Relish in FV and an Original Sandwich Co in Mutiny Bay.

Pure speculation from me though.
 
Granted it is seen a better "standard" but having been in both the pricing for a meal can be pretty much the same since BK like to rinse you for every penny. tbh I have never liked BK but either way I would love any Merlin branded outlets to replace them since then I would get the 20% pass discount :)

I think that 12 year olds being classed as adults is stupid, if they're classed as as adults why can't they buy a beer?
 
Hi , Just wondering whether Annual pass holders can get 20% off the all day dining offer, I'm probably just wishful thinking but it would be nice?

Stupid question, is the blue disabled badge enough "evidence" to qualify for disabled entry?
I think so I can't see you needing anything else tbh

Yes we have used this in the past but did need to run it back to the car when we parked in the disabled parking area, although we tend to park near the hotels so we can ride the monorail in now
