2018: General Discussion

[Dipper_Dave]

I'm a little surprised they're open this week really. Do they normally start midweek openings this early? I don't think its school holidays anywhere yet. I know that BPB starts weekly opening during the first week of Easter. Midweek guests should be treated equally as importantly as weekend ones so if they are 'gearing up for the weekend' to the detriment of midweek visitors by opening rides late or not opening some at all then that is poor. I feel for those who've forked out for hotel stays. I'll be making a near 5 hour round trip myself on Friday so don't want to encounter half-arsed ride offerings

Is Wicker Man testing then? Keep us updated if it starts!

Not currently testing but there's a crowd gathering, ride op says "soon" and they've turned up the soundtrack I think.

Who knows but if it does open today I'm determined to be on it. Few people have said 2pm as well but who knows.

Yep, music up. Loads of official types walked into shop 10 mins ago. Just saw a ride host with a spade. Looks like they're gonna have a go at running it soon. Crowds growing a bit.

Fingers crossed for you all! Haven't heard a negative review come from it yet so you could be in for a treat!

 

[Benjsh]

Two staff walking tracks with spades

They are just off to bury todays takings in the Forrest before people start asking for refunds

 

[Benjsh]

This is looking promising

 

[Danscott22]

Looking positive then!

 

[Benjsh]

No . It goes from the main entrance to the shop!

Never got that logic, you may be at the front of the queue but how long have you stood there to ensure that....

Bet overall the folk at the back will have waited a shorter time than those at the front by the time they get on the ride.

Let the ceremonies commence

Like dbgt at Thorpe when it was struggling to open. Some people waited 4 hours to get on it at the front....I came to the park 4 hours late and waited about 45 mins lol
