A few reasons why Merlin won't do anything with the theatre building...
1. It would cost money

Coulda just left it there tbh.

Crikey. Mid season price hikes.

That’s a good sign...

 

[Poopoohead]

Has standard not increased??

 

[Danny]

Standards decrease, prices increase.

Because that's The Merlin Way™.

 

[Poopoohead]

Meant standard parking, but yes you’re correct!

 

[Doublethink]

How long is it until we are up to £20 for standard parking like the Disney Orlando parks....

 

[Ethan]

At least it's not that much for standard

 

[bluesonichd]

at least its not that much yet

If the monorail was top notch, more public transport options were available throughout the season and so was the parking experience was slick and painless I think £20 would be justified.

you can get a season pass for £56 or £70 so paying £20 per visit for parking wouldn't justify

But you can fit 4/5/7 in a car, so really you have to look at it that way. Towers in 5 years will be a poor version of 6 flags. It can't really call itself a theme park with all the upsells and poor experience. I think if an outside operator invested big time in Drayton then it would change but at the moment Alton is very close to a pay per ride experience these days.

Wouldn't it be great if entry was about £15 and you pay for whatever rides you want to go on individually. That's the only way on a busy day to make your money worth it as paying over £50 for 8-10 rides is poor

Price for individual rides would be £20 each for the big six and £15 each for all the others.

Don't give merlin ideas on upping profit and killing the park.

Makes sense to put express parking up as they will have all the ex VIP pass who are used to parking there now being made to pay for it

Nobody pays £50 entry anyway.

Pay per ride could work if the rides were cheap, and they capped it at the price of a unlimited band

 

[bluesonichd]

so park entry ticket, pay per ride access (upgradable to fastack pay per ride) car park ticket (also upgradeable)
pay to ride monorail
that could work

Some people I know are already under the impression that Towers is a pay per ride park. Thanks to fastrack.

Some people think theres a class system.

Very rich = VIP card
Rich = fastract
Ok off = online tickets / MAPS
