I have read through all of the thread about the VIP annual pass and thought that I'd contribute as we've held these passes since their inception. We're a family of three, my daughter now being 11 years old and just recently hitting the magical 1.4m in height. We have always loved the theme...

That is very true, Rick. Thank you for your comments... guess we wait and see how the investigations go.

I presume this type of incident would be down to the park's maintenance as opposed to the quality of the build by Pinfari? I know that there are Pinfari coasters at Brighton Pier, Brean, Adventure Island, and so on. So I wonder... what are the maintenance standards like in those locations in...

Has 'Rage' at Adventure Island been closed? Whilst not a Merlin park, I believe this ride is a Gerstlauer Euro Fighter, like Saw?

Yes, I agree too. I guess the theory behind creating these restrictions is to spread the additional visitors to their attractions throughout the year, and avoid a massive spike in July & August in theme parks.

Response from Merlin today: "Good Afternoon, As you have missed the use of your Birthday Club Vouchers this is no problem and we would be more than happy to extend your Birthday Club Vouchers and when you decide what attraction and day you wish to attend if you email us at least 10 days prior...

This weekend, my wife, daughter and I all renewed our MAPs and this time we all went for the Premium passes. We were given a special rewards 'pack' which contained a number of vouchers, including some £5 off Fasttrack coupons. There are three 'Birthday Club' vouchers provided per person, which...

A really interesting topic. I used to go to Thorpe in the 80’s and 90’s in the ‘glory days’ as I remember, when the park had so much charm – but was quite family centred due to the lack of big thrill rides at the time. I used to take my daughter there (she’s now 7) a few years ago when they...

I mentioned on TT also about the Tesco points: I really like the concept of the monthlies, and would ordinarily be very interested. However for the last 3 years we have converted out Tesco Clubcard points in to annual passes. It works out at around £46 I think in Tesco vouchers to get a...

Could it be simply the timing of the investment approval? Possibly there had been a request for £5m to renovate certian rides, but the "sign-off" wasn't granted until just recently, meaning that the works could not have been started during the close period. That might explain some of the...
