I imagine they were targeting certain people at the weekend, but it does beg question if you’re doing checks why aren’t you checking everyone who triggers an alertCan someone explain to me the point of the airport style security scanners at the turnstiles.
Ok I like a bit of extra security but I literally walked through with my bag and phone and obviously it flashed red just like everyone else but no extra checks were carried out
Seemed a bit pointless to me

Everyone has phones/coins on them, so without having more and having a desk to place metals by the side like BPB they're pretty much going off who looks suspicious I guess.

To be fair i didn’t see anyone of said people carrying any bags so I’m assuming if they triggered an alert they would’ve been searched
As many articles state, worryingly it’s Lego parks that have had poor sales. But Varney says it’s just a “blip” so all is wellOh dear![]()

He’s trundled out terrorism again but we’ve also got a new excuse of "marketing challenges"I wonder what their excuse will be this time? We've had "terrorism", "weather", "the economy"...
My money is on "solar wind".
Yes, Varney will blame it on a no deal Brexit next

But Mr Varney warned of a potential "disastrous" impact on Merlin should a "no-deal" Brexit result in visitors from the European Union - who make up half of visitors at its London attractions - requiring a visa.

LEGOLAND was blamed on no lego movies and no high investments this year (LEGOLAND California only got a medium sized investment while Billund and Windsor were more renovations). Furthermore, they admitted there was serious problems with LEGOLAND Japan (partially due to marketing).

Hoping for a themed excuse like they've done with the reopening of Colossos tbh.
""A dark power has been sleeping under Colossos for 3 years, but now Colossos will no longer be dormant, so the dark power is fighting back and trying to destroy it."
The video shows tree roots bursting out of the ground attempting to engulf Colossos' structure - which explains the tree like theming structures around the final bunny hills.
So the 'battle of the giants' is referring to Colossos itself, vs the dark power."

Last week I learnt staff are being told about work availability for February half term. Does anyone have further info about a return of the half term opening at Alton?

Has anyone noticed that we seem to get decent weather on Wednesdays all the time (the day they choose to close)? Must be frustrating for them when they have chosen to close in advance and we get sunny days.
I only say this as my wife is a nurse and doesn't work Wednesdays hardly ever. And I always make a comment on how the weather is kind to her on that day.
