2020: General Discussion

Does anyone know the date the park first operates this season. And I don't mean the main season I mean the john lewis and services events

 

Services event is weekend 7th and 8th March, John Lewis could be following weekend but not sure.

 

Will John Lewis have an event seeing as they can’t afford to pay any staff bonus this year due to zero profits.

 

For any 2020 Season pass holders, the bring a friend for £15 offer is returning.

You can’t buy these tickets for Scarefest, Fireworks or August Fri, Sat, Sun.

Details released? I don't usually keep a track of off season shenanigans, does this mean they plan on announcing its' departure? Or is it actually going to be something positive?

 

It probably means they have no idea whether it's coming back or not themselves

 

more details soon.... thats a no then, selling for scrap

 

They might well be announcing details of TLC to The Blade or something; that's always a possibility! They replaced the entire ship only last closed season, so I don't see why they'd remove it so soon after that!

 

its Merlin....

 

They updated the Alton towers website recently and blade is still on there so surely it's not going

 

Good one.

 

highly unlikely but what about a refurbish/retheme with it being installed elsewhere?

 

This is the same park that threw money at Sub Terra on modifications then closed it; not to mention the "closed for TLC" rides which have never re-opened nor will ever re-open.

 

A new area for it is an interesting idea, however I can't imagine a location that could house it without having to do some upturning. The Blade is a pretty long ride.

 

Wait your telling me Ripsaw isnt coming back?
