ERT, the only thing its good for is so you can use the 30mins to get to Nemmy for 10am opening

They were quite strict on not letting them in last year so I would expect them to do the same this year. Besides, 30 minutes is not worth the effort!

Was just thinking that myself, if it was an hour I’d be a bit disappointed, but it doesn’t really bother me. I always like to head to forbidden valley first anyway! Kind of tradition

Why does everyone hype up nemesis so much

 

[Alsty]

Because it's the best ride on the park, obviously

 

[John]

ERT is best used by getting to Dark Forest as soon as it opens so you can do both coasters with no wait and not have to set foot in the area for the rest of the day.

Did they knock wicker man and smiler down or something? Sorry I wasn't aware

Wickerman hasn’t got the intensity and The Smiler just isn’t my sort of ride, feels like there is no journey taken on the layout, if you get where I’m coming from.

But the great thing about being enthusiast is we all love different things !

They have found a jet washer

State of that though.

 

[Alsty]

I wonder if they'll jet wash the "mark on the park" bricks on the entrance plaza again this year?

Because it’s a bloody good coaster, and holds a lot of nostalgia for many people I’m guessing due to its age.

They do this and the entire park every winter, and all the queue lines every 2 years.

All that black is just from one British weather based year!

Not much use unless you use an algaecide after, especially at this time of year.
Will look bad again in three months, just in time for Spring Bank.

I jetwash my (concrete) garden once a year and it is most certainly not that black. That's a good 2-3 years of neglect right there!

 

[bluesonichd]

Least they won’t have to wash it again now till the 50th park celebrations

On an entirely separate note, it seems the recent new website design for altontowers.com is a part of a wider project across all of Merlin's attractions... the Chessington, London Eye & Warrick Castle websites have been updated with identical designs. Seems to be more of a 'corporate look' approach by Merlin (and I imagine makes it easier to manage websites behind the scenes).

To be fair, your garden doesn’t have a rollercoaster chucking grease and oil from its wheels and track, and stacks and stacks of brake dust dumped on it, as well as thousands of guests every hour passing by. The park takes a hammering just from the shear volume of people, and in areas like this there’s nothing rubbing it off, just adding to it constantly.

However often they are jet washing, it isn’t often enough.

They don’t even come close to doing that every year.
