2019: General Discussion
It was largely because of a question on the survey tablets in the shopLet's try and keep this thread broadly on topic (yes, I know it is general discussion) rather than wild unfounded speculation about the removal of Nemesis due to a little bit of downtime.

What is this? Where is this news m? They have history of this.

Indeed. However there are various threads in Future Discussion that are more suited to discussing the future of Nemesis than the 2019 General Discussion thread.
Thanks.
Apologies if already mentioned, but Alton have increased their gate prices , up £2 to £58
Waterpark tickets have also gone up to £18

Mid year price hikes again!!! All for it if that £2 gets put towards a revamp of monorail and park entrance. But I doubht that will happen.

The water park prices are shocking now especially considering it’s hardly had a penny invested since it opened

The Smiler 'incident' has just been featured on BBC Midlands today on the telly. There is just very very little integrity or proper research in most journalism these days. Of course they spent most of the segment talking about the crash a few years ago. Absolutely pathetic.
Edit - Just realised that I accidentally double posted. Sorry![]()
The issue is geeks keep posting angry comments on the news stories, this then shows high engagement for the story which increases add revenue. If people stopped reacting to the stories on social media they would stop writing them.
It's the only ride that gets in the news for these sort things. Nemesis and galactica have stopped on the lift recently and the media haven't said anything about thatLast night in my local's weekly smartphone quiz, there was the following question:
Which Alton Towers roller coaster stranded guests 100ft in the air earlier this week?
Nemesis | Oblivion | The Smiler | Rita
All fifteen teams got it right...

Almost as if an automated shut down on The Smiler once had horrendous consequences, or something.It's the only ride that gets in the news for these sort things. Nemesis and galactica have stopped on the lift recently and the media haven't said anything about that

The season passes remain at £56 and £70 respectively.£58 still represents pretty amazing value for a season pass. 3 visits and you are paying under £20 per ticket which is really excellent value for money.

Well that's ridiculous. Probably won't last long like that.
I would rather they raised the gate price slightly in exchange to scrapping the parking fee.
Why?

If you're moving more to a season pass model that doesn't include parking, that seems unwise.I would rather they raised the gate price slightly in exchange to scrapping the parking fee.

Do you think people would support an increased ticket price if parking, the dungeons, golf, waterpark, spa and tree top quest were all included?
Doubt it, there isn't time to do all of those things in one day.Do you think people would support an increased ticket price if parking, the dungeons, golf, waterpark, spa and tree top quest were all included?
Not to mention none of those have the capacity that would be required if they were 'free'.
