It is the maths of the thing. People make a lot of irrational, ill-thought out judgements about it.It's not the maths of the thing, it is the blatant overselling.
Thorpe have capacity issues, for sure. Pleasure Beach have no way to implement Speedy Pass properly, so have opted to deliver it poorly.To be fair, the Towers aren't the very naughty ones, that would be BPB and Thorpe.

How do they stop people who aren't booked into the restaurant coming in just for Galactica?

I know they've kept it open a park days (seen it going round late with people on) We can actually get night rides on it as well if you chose not to wear the headset.

probably have security on the gate checking your restaurant booking.How do they stop people who aren't booked into the restaurant coming in just for Galactica?
cant see it being that busy tho, feel sorry for the ride hosts that night, stood around doing nothing, just waiting, hoping someone will come and want a quick ride

Can you ride before you eat? Then you could book a table, ride on Galactia and not bother turning up! Free!

I see The Smiler has hit the tabloid headlines again today... A train appears to have stopped on the vertical lift.
The first two lines are as follows, they obviously had to add the second line in to remind everyone of the previous incident.... Oh and for a bit of drama.
"The Smiler rollercoaster at Alton Towers became stuck today - with riders trapped in mid-air for an hour.
The riders were stranded on the rollercoaster in Staffordshire which only reopened in March, nine months after an accident which left five people with serious injuries."
