Hopefully the ride times site is back up working again, as towards the end of last year we had to resort to the phone app version.

Oh wait! Wicker Man closed? I see Alton is running to it's usual standards

I read somewhere they don’t have the trains back from service yet for WM

The best chance of seeing Gangsta Granny during the pre season days is from Cuckoo Cars. The park have already said that GG, Frog Hopper, Carousel and Blade will be closed.

So as long as they haven’t put up a fence next to Cuckoo Cars it should be visible from there.

Living vicariously through all the updates today because I don't think I'll get to Towers til the beginning of April.
Has anything else been said by the park about the future of The Blade? I really don't see it coming back this year.

Well, it's on the website so it must be coming back sometime. I really hope they extend the cycle a bit as it's too short.

 

[BeccaH]

Agreed, and they can afford to really because it never gets a queue.
It is a shame that all the flat rides have disappeared over the years, but at least AT are tackling the problem of nothing for older kids by adding Gangsta Granny. It's a start!

The only update I could give a hoot about this weekend is have they now sorted the sodding hot water situation in the toilets?

#Priorities.

 

[bluesonichd]

It's a start!

Will also be the end. They won’t add anything new now for another 5 years.
The Merlin way
I have spoken

Except for the annual Cbeebies land new or “new” retheme thing

 

[bluesonichd]

So The Blade is not closed just currently unavailable

Why's Wicker man not opening today? Hopefully it's ready for couple weeks time for opening

Wicker Man closed all day, Smiler shut until lunchtime, Rita on one train.

A cable tie won't stop it from being nicked I'm sure.

Or it will be completely empty in an hour as the kids stand there pumping it all over the floor

Until lunch time, I see they're very prepared then

 

[bluesonichd]

It’s private hire day. They won’t be making much money from opening. So why go to the trouble of getting rides open
