    Alton Towers week on TV

    I actually thought she was the only person in the documentary that didn't come across well. In my opinion she seemed to come across very bossy and condescending towards the team, not what I would expect of a manager at Alton Towers. Also thought she was quite rude to the guests and seemed very...

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    I visited over 20 UK scare events last year and it's safe to say Fright Nights was by far the worst, I'm quite frankly amazed some of their attractions got signed off by their marketing team - quantity over quality. Considering their marketing suggesting a re-imagining of Fright Nights, I'm...

    Park Hours: Updates and Discussion

    Even if the park did find the budgets to bring their opening hours to an acceptable level, the post Smiler Incident job losses mean the park management teams have been stripped back to its bare bones. The 'frontline' managers are on a limited number of contracted hours to leave their salaries as...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    BPB is a really frustrating park, it feels so close yet so far. Over the past 10 years there has been vast improvements to the aesthetics of the park, the look of the place has improved massively. There's been a huge focus on staff training, all staff now undergo the 'world hosts' training...

    2019: General Discussion

    There is now a separate counter where Platinum Fastrack wristbands can be collected, without having to queue. The counter is on the far left of the Box Office, where the VIP MAP collection counter is, meaning you don't have to join a queue. There's big signage on the counter so you should be...

    2018: Park Operations & Ride Availability

    No, they haven't had that for some years! Ride closures are never advertised outside the park unless you check the app yourself.

    Opening Weekend: The Inquest Begins

    Generally they seem to be checking tickets as best they can but depends how busy they are. Unfortunately, like everywhere else, they just don't seem to have the staff to operate it properly..

    2016 Entry Pen

    When speaking to a member of staff over the weekend, apparently the turnstiles on the right only have one gate for annual pass holders and pushchairs meaning it doesn't have the capacity required.

    To my knowledge the ride cannot operate in windy conditions, for this very reason.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach have released a video of SkyForce testing. Strange decision to post a video with no-one in the ride cars, as such the general reaction on their Facebook is it looks boring!

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    I've witnessed numerous times where other guests have wrapped phones/watches/valuables in their jackets prior to entering baggage stores. The hosts don't have a clue if people have wrapped valuables in their jacket, and such can easily fall out whilst they are being placed in the store. Not...

    The green gels on Ripsaw appeared for Scarefest last year, along with the revolving warning beacon on the front of the truck.

    Scarefest 2013: Discussion

    Mostly all the permanent lights on Nemesis (bar the entrance tower) were filtered red in 2012, just seemed most of it was overpowered by the generators. The dispatch and bay lights in the station were changed to red bulbs and half of the main lamps were turned off, making it quite dark.

    Farce-track

    Considering on Monday the most popular fastrack options had sold out, there was very minimal fastrack queues when compared to last year. It's clear the quotas have dropped significantly and they ARE attempting to manage fastrack better.
