An awful lot of people in the care industry still work 25 hour shifts, usually 11 am until 12 noon the next day, or 2pm until 3pm the next day, with a "sleep in" at work...hopefully.
I put up with those hours for two decades, now I never work more than four hours without a two hour break...old man in a physical job!
...and back on topic, how did the park cope with the scarefest crowds then?
Ride queues seemed ok, how did the rest of the infrastructure cope overall?
Blackpool in comparison was dead, only a couple of thousand on the park on Sunday.

It's going to be very busy on Saturday for Scarefest. If you want to ride everything then you'll probably need Fastrack.
The park will be so different to how you remember it!

Yeah we bought platinum fast track. Probably won't go back for another 10 years after so may as well do it in style haha =]

Seems to calm back down again after 3pm, so hopefully they’ll be okay. I’m expecting a few ride closures, but there is no need to shut the entire park I don’t think.

Well opening day of this season they wouldn't let guests back towards rides that could open such as Duel due to the risk of trees falling down at 35mph wind speed.
Although it's Merlin so they were probably lying and just using it as an excuse.

BBC saying 10-4 40mph+. And all day tomorrow. In typical Towers fashion there has been no forewarning and no doubt they'll only inform at 9 on the day
Probably, trees don't fall over in 35mph wind unless the roots are seriously compromised, what a load of horse manure, even my polytunnel can take 70mph winds right in the face.

Exactly, what actually happened on opening weekend this year was that they told staff to have the weekend off due to the bad forecast, but when the weather wasn't actually too bad on the day there were no staff to run the place so they started to fabricate excuses. The park has operated in far colder, windier and snowier conditions in the past.
