Excellent. To be incredibly pedantic, on Air the seats are numbered left to right from the operator's perspective. So S4 on the card would actually be S1...

The main issue with Fastrack is the complete lack of co-ordination between departments. Fastrack is sold by Sales and Info, yet the rides are managed by Park Operations. It's a pretty useless system which infuriates the ride staff who have no control over the length of their Fastrack queue. I'd...

Just a point of context, the messages on the scroller are pre-programmed and will have been like that for some time. Not a defence as it's a pretty underhand tactic, but it isn't new. Also, queue times are calculated simply by phoning up ride operators and asking how long their queue is. There...

Throughputs will inevitably suffer during Scarefest. Firstly, there is a big changeover of staff from the summer period and into September. Students return to university and the park recruit new starters to replace them. Unfortunately the dead days prior to Scarefest do very little to prepare...

The decision to extend park opening hours has absolutely nothing to do with staff morale, its purely a business decision. However, you have to remember that Alton Towers relies on a very young workforce, many of whom rely on public transport to get home at the end of the day. Its out of courtesy...
