Since when has Alton had self service ticket kiosks? (The London eye style)

It’s the “new for 2020” Thorpe also has them.

According to the app, nothing is open to the left of the towers. No rita, th13teen, hex, dungeon, driving school and obviously no david walliams. So that area will be blocked off maybe?

Who's going to use them though, everyone knows it's cheaper to book in advance online.

I'm not sure if it's just me because I have several badges stating I'm autistic but the person Manning the smiler entrance doesn't appear to be prompting people about masks.

Do you have to wear it when in the queue or just on ride?

I'm not sure, I plan on sticking mine on when I get near the indoor queue bit.

Take it from that you are in the park and now just waiting on rides opening?

Time did they open the gates if that’s the case?

Enjoy regardless, will be keeping an eye on queue times from afar in advance of visit on Tuesday

Masks are required on Smiler and the other coasters according to Towers. Staff at the station may send people back down if they don't have one.

I get that but it would make sense for hosts at the entrance to prompt people.

Good to know, cheers.

Yeah I'm surprised they're not doing that.

 

[imanautie]

Yeah in surprised they're not doing that.

But there's the chance they are prompting but didn't prompt me assuming I'm excempt.

Not hugely impressed so far only 2 out of 15 ticket windows open and a massive queue.

Is it a large queue by size, or numbers+size?

Not in numbers, if there were more windows open it would move quick. But I'm about half way through and I've been here half an hour.

Why would there be a queue? It’s pre booking only using e-tickets on your phone. What are so many people queueing for?
