Doing whatever they are doing in house is probably why the castle turrets fell off in the first place.

It was around 18 months. The majority of that time, as with any dark ride, being filling the building up with all the scenes, scenery and everything Pirates. Creating the building and boat system was relatively short. With any ride of this type, be it Disney or Drayton, the biggest portion of...

And who argued that? Not me? So I am not sure what point you are trying to make there? For months, the argument has been that there is lots of work going on inside the ride and it is coming back imminently. Even though it has been pretty apparent that nothing major has been happening around...

They key word in my statement was "major".

It was already put to bed with anyone who could put a small bit of logic, sense and reason above their own personal wants. Not saying it won't happen in the future, but is has been quite apparent for a long time, there is no major construction work, the type that would be needed to bring a...

With that logic, you could say you dont go to a themepark to hear music / audio. You can do that at home too. I understand what you are saying, but apart from a few very specific examples, the problem you list, doesnt exist....yet. It is encouraging to hear her say what she says however.

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.
