    2020: Europa-Park General Discussion

    We visited last week and went for two rides of Blue Fire, then into the Wodan queue about 8:45. Quick fingers on the virtual queue on the app got us a second ride on Wodan straight away when the virtual queues opened at 9, and then got us quickly onto the other virtual queue rides throughout the...

    Phantasialand Question

    Hello! We have booked us a two night stay at Hotel Matamba and a 1 day park ticket, which we plan to use on the day in between the hotel stays. It’s struck us that the ticket may be dated for specific entry (ie the day we arrive rather than the ‘middle’ day), but we can’t find anything online...

    2018: Park Operations & Ride Availability

    Wickerman was ace! 90 minutes in reality - and that was from the ridetime sign, which has stated 0 mins since we arrived!

    2018: General Discussion

    Thank goodness! This year it closed on Tuesday (Halloween) of the South Yorkshire half term, so I didn't make it! Glad they've realised not all surrounding areas have the same half term week!

    If this forum existed in 1994,what would we be saying about the SW3 Plans?

    I won't be convinced until I see it on telly; Blue Peter hopefully. I really wish that Diane and Tim test it out - they are my favourites!

    Alton Towers 2017 - Wishlist

    It'll be interesting to see what they do for Scarefest/Fireworks in 2017 as the 3rd/4th/5th of November is the last weekend of half term, at least in my part of the world!

    Fireworks 2016

    Brilliant day! Spent all day on park, was busy, but we carefully picked rides so we had minimal queues - and the fireworks were awesome!

    Drayton Manor Park

    @Leah I went last Sunday and it was really quiet - everything was walk on all day, bar Ben Ten. It's a great little park; maybe try a Sunday soon in early season if you can't do midweek (and if you *do* midweek, watch out! Lots of schools visit Drayton and those days get very busy!)

    2016: The Smiler Reopening

    They've taken 'corrected' off the signs on the wall at the vertical lift too - it just says 'halfway' now. Of course, you can still see the outline of the letters and the screws holes in the concrete!

    2016: The Smiler Reopening

    Maybe with Spinball to Smiler, Smiler to Rita and Valley to RMT, it's just one big anti-clockwise rotation around the park. Whatever happened, it was a very focused lady pushing the buttons on The Smiler, with a guy in regular Towers gear taking over. Quite a lot of focus and pressure on them...

    2016: The Smiler Reopening

    Does anyone know how the staffing is arranged this year? I noticed a female Smile Assistant from 2013 working on Rita today and it made me question whether management would have actively moved staff away from The Smiler to give them distance from the incident, or if there was any sort of...

    2016: The Smiler Reopening

    The single rider queue always worked pretty well, I'm hoping it's quick paced when I head down this week!

    Midweek Theme Park Closures

    They must be so confused with all the Easter holidays all over the place this year! Mine start on the 21st March so I'm hoping for a quiet day with others at school and pre-Galactica!
