Heave Ho is closed today and was yesterday. Wonder what's up with it?

Would you say the queue times at the park are accurate today? I’m there tomorrow & want to try and plan my day to get the most out of it.

If you get there before/on rope-drop head to Forbidden Valley and Dark Forest first as they are quietest in the morning.

I’m not sure if there is a connection but ever since passholder booking has been made free the availability has reduced dramatically.
There is now no availability at all for any weekends for the rest of the season, and none for the entire half term week.
Have Passholders been bulk booking because it’s free?

Passholders have been bulk buying before it was free!

Thirteen>Rita>Galactica>Nemesis is a good way to start if they all open on time.

Heave Ho was closed all day on Monday, looked like it wasn’t parked correctly so guess it needs a part or something.
everything else generally was fine, didn’t see any breakdowns or issues during the day. Wicker Man actually opened before 10am as well.

Did it open after all?

Yes, pretty much. If anything they are still slightly overstated. If you've been over summer then tomorrow will feel like heaven, trust me.

It did. Got two rides in today on it. ran all day without issues (after the initial delay). I believe they've been having issues with the lift hill again, as that's where I saw techies this morning, and they were walking it a lot whilst testing. Ride availability was good apart from the first hour or so.
Good news! I'm going tomorrow and i like Wicker Man - even if i don't go on it it takes a lot of the crowds.

Yeah definitely going over to Thirteen first. One of those rides I enjoy but not enough to queue too long for.
Hoping to get my first back row ride on Wickerman tomorrow. I’ve always ended up near the front & need to see what all the fuss is about

Looking forward to going today, hopefully ride availability should be good. Staying in the hotel tonight so get to see Oktoberfest tomorrow as well. Hopefully should be in for at least one quiet day!
I'm going too hope you have a good day! Park close has been extended to 5pm so will be busier than the days so far this week

TS Member
Oh nice, hope you do too! That's decent though tbf can't complain at an extra hour on park!
Well if it's going to be busier it kind of cancells out

Could the impending rule changes (can't meet in groups of more than 6 and (potentially) a 10pm curfew) affect Towers and their upcoming events? If the curfew was to come into force Scarefest would have to finish earlier to allow staff to get home in time, which would be catastrophic.
