2018: Park Operations & Ride Availability

No, they will make a bomb all summer on fasttrack.
Will be hell all summer, but merlin will be quids on.
Guests are catching on to this going by trip advisor. Quite a few mention that queues are deliberately slow just to push fast pass sales. Partial filling of boats on the rapids and stopping Galactica to retrieve lost property were a couple of examples.
The same guests are saying they'll never be back.

That is the most condescending thing I have ever read on a message board. If you are thinking of posting something like that again please message me first to help you understand how condescending it sounds.If you are ever unsure if something is OK to post, you can always PM me first (or any other members that you trust). Even I sometimes have to ask Jess for a second opinion on somethings before I even post something and there are times where she would ask my opinion before she post on other sites too including emails etc...

Don't be - say what you want and if people disagree then they will debate with you. That is literally the point of being here.I'm fine with it

If you have a large complaint then I’d send it to Merlin rather than to Towers. I did that and it got resolved well.I emailed in a massive complaint have not had a response to that at all

At least you know now! I suppose you could camp out on Wickerman for a bit.Surprise surprise, the skyride is now due to open at 12, that is when it’s actually opening.

There's only one way to settle this.That is the most condescending thing I have ever read on a message board. If you are thinking of posting something like that again please message me first to help you understand how condescending it sounds.
FIGHT!

But how many people did you run over getting there ?It took me 4 and a half minutes to get from the entrance of WM to the umbrella by Galactica on Thursday without using the skyride, I’m pretty sure that’s quicker than if I had used it.

Get the RMT ring on standby, someone!
They would, but it's been removed due to budget cuts...

Just moved a section of discussion over to the VIP Annual Pass thread just to centralise discussion which was going on concurrently about the VIP Pass between these two threads!

I hope the woodland fire in Dimmingsdale Valley. Does not affect park operations tomorrow.
