Couldn't make it unfortunately, but followed your socials to see updates. Looks like a great day. I will be interested to see what some of you guys that attended think of Drayton Manor now in 2025, especially if you havent visited in a while.

It would make no sense to do that. Because all the scenes and scenery were built around and specifically for a boat ride. If you built a new ride you would have to build the new ride to that route which makes no sense. It is all completely rotten anyway, we had a look a few years ago. Plus...

Not totally out of Towers fault, they still hold partial blame. Any self respecting themepark would "work through the problems" overnight, to ensure rides are avaliable for the guests who are paying to enter the park the next day. Alton Towers may not be to blame for the cause, but they...

Crazy how the same has happened to B&M....sort of. Maybe other factors are at play.

They absolutely fib about queue times, because by doing that it is a great and extremely effective and easy way to spread guests out around the park. I can't say they are as aggressive as Disney however, but displaying queue times has other advantages than ya know, telling people the queue times.

I would have been curious to see the breakdown of the transfers. There are much better websites than the one shown for that. Obviously it has changed now. But that figure which is at 6.1GW there represents power we are both sending and receiving from abroad. It is very common for us to send...

Many problems, audio, cable, upkeep. The park once again built a ride that needs a lot of maintenance, without providing the resources to keep the ride in good condition.

We are not so reliant on them. You do know you can see in real time, online, the power usage and generation of the the UK by different fuels. We are never getting more than a few percent of our total power needs by undersea cables.

Agree 1000%. People just getting their knickers in a twist. Welcome to 2025.

He was actually booked as a 90th birthday present for Micheal Eavis by Emily. In that sense it doesnt really matter how busy it was. As this could very potentially be Micheal Eavis' last ever Glastonbury.

I absolutely loved some of the food in Gloucester services, although slightly pricy.

Aww bless, you are nieve. No, the prices are so high because it is an easy win for making easy money. We buy food in bulk, wholesale prices are dirt cheap.

At this rate the park will be a literal beach again in a few years.

I have heard reports both saying the trains are new and the trains are refurbished. I would assume they are new, because the chassis, which has the seat hangs as part of it like a giant block of metal and the top part of the trains would have been 30 years old, it would have needed major work...

Whereas most of my non enthusiast friends and specifically ones scaree of coasters, associate OTSR as safer.

Just looked at photos online of people's kebabs from this place. Looks good, proper filth! In a good way, of course.

Where is the best kebab place around. I love a good kebab. The chippy down the bottom of the road the Velvet Coaster is on, was spectacular last year.

Does anyone here have a PS5 Slim? If so, what are the noise levels like?

If it was cooler day I would be too. I am the one, by law, who is legally responsible for the safety and wellbeing of my child, not the park. So if they took there time, in the cooler weather, I would do what I need to do, to keep my child safe.
