Although it's likely that someone who has access to remove stuff from the website got wind that somone somewhere was discussing the fact these attractions where still listed, I doubt very much that a powerful Merlin exec is sitting next to bags of cash with "£" signs on reading this forum intently.

No, but Towers management will and do occasionally scim over the forum. Plenty of things have come from them doing so

'Queue jumping' packages released. Doesn't look like any price changes from last year.

It still says "coming soon" on the website but dates are now selectable which they were not until yesterday. I was looking at them through the AT app not the website.
Does anyone know what the total capacity of the rides at alton towers is? In terms of pph, realistic or theoretical.
Just curious.
Even more curious, but thinking it might be a bit much to ask, anyone know the historical values? Rather tempted to create a graph showing how ride capacity has changed over the years. Would be a good thing to track year on year averages going forward.
Edit : I know there is an app for calculating throughput, do they store/use that data to calculate this kind of thing? If not, real shame.

I don't see much value in free return tickets... I imagine most visitors are either from far away and visit once, or close by and have a season pass.

Just read in yesterday's Times newspaper that Merlin have agreed a sale of their Australian ski resorts for £95m. They were originally bought in 2012, as part of a deal to buy an aquarium operator. It is understood that Merlin have been looking to sell the ski resorts for a while now, whilst retaining the 'attractions' side of the business. New capitial to invest at AT with a bit of luck!!
