Very poor today. Way too many people in the park and lots of rides closing due to the queue lines being full.
 
Can't understand why ride close hasn't been extended when it is clearly busier than Monday here today. Bizarre decision.

We shouldn't expect the park to open til 7 as they never usually do that. We've been fortunate with opening times this year so we shouldn't take it for granted

It is absolutely rammed today. We have managed nine rides (including Duel and Battle Galleons) having been here all day and extremely selective avoiding long queues.

Many people will have got on three or four. That is totally unacceptable, I will not be grateful just because opening times are normally rubbish.

Well the parks open til 4 next week so imagine how many rides people will get on then. Can't see it being much quieter they'll still be long queues probably

If crowds are bigger than expected they'll extend the close time. Simple. ;)
 
Thank god. So I guess I'll be doing my normal routine of Wicker man, th13teen, Rita, Smiler, Oblivion, Nemesis then Galactica

My mum had pain in her feet due to her shoes rubbing, so didn’t want to walk too much more. Combine that with a near 3 hour journey home (when you factor in the walk back to the car park), the fact I have school tomorrow and the fact that my mum and dad didn’t fancy queueing 60 minutes for Spinball Whizzer (the shortest major ride queue after we’d come off our last ride, Oblivion), and it seemed like a very good idea at the time.

Out of interest, which rides did you guys go on @D4n? We managed 6 rides, but 3 of ours were less major rides (Hex, Duel and Congo River Rapids).

Was anyone else from TS there today, out of interest? The updates throughout the day would seem to imply that someone from the team visited today (unless @D4n was providing these updates), and my dad did spy someone in a Universal Studios Hollywood t-shirt riding Congo River Rapids, so automatically presumed they were an enthusiast.

I did Rita, Th13teen, Hex, Enterprise, Battle Galleons, Duel, Nemesis, Spinball, Smiler and Oblivion (twice) in that order. About 90 minutes for lunch and beer at the Welcom-Inn.

Very much a focus on minor rides in the peak of the day (and Nemesis which can handle the queues). Got on plenty of rides in the end but considering we were there first thing in the morning and the park was still heaving at 6pm I couldn't understand the decision not to extend.

At one point Nemesis, Galactica, Spinball, Smiler and Congo River Rapids were closed for capacity queues.
Th13teen 120, Rita 90
Wicker Man broken

As regulars and enthusiasts, we still had a laugh and a pint and did a few minor rides and had a good day. But for a first timer that could have been a woeful experience.

And no, not me on either count, I was in a Megafobia t-shirt and have never had the pleasure of sharing TS updates. Must have been another!
 
Today was abysmal absolutely atrocious.

Loving this place is like an off n on relationship at the moment.
