2022: General Discussion

[LordOfDarkness]

It would be nice if like other parks Alton Towers were telling us what’s going to be closed tomorrow.

 

[Ethan]

Let's hope that Wicker man and Rita aren't on 1 train jesus

 

[BigShadowtinytree]

Never been on opening day, should be interesting

Jesus isn't on ops any more, they moved him over to F&B after that fuss about loaves and fishes.

They won’t be on 1 train on the opening weekend haha - it can’t really be compared to a buyout event. Just hoping there aren’t too many closures (if any) and the day runs smoothly for everyone. I personally won’t be visiting until late May, so but I hope it goes well for everyone who is attending!

One in twenty of the population having Covid may have something to do with limited numbers.
Expect staff issues if 5% extra fail to turn up for work.

Yeah this could be it actually - it may be covid and not ride closures capping the capacity

 

[Benjsh]

Sold out? Wowzers. Wont' be able to move for Vloggers....Hahahaha

They might move him back, can't imagine Merlin were too impressed about him giving away so much free food...

Funk n Fly is now up and running on the app so I assume that’ll be open tomorrow. Still no Spinjam though! If it turns out that it’s only Spinjam, CRR and Hex that remain closed tomorrow then it’ll be a fairly successful opening. Smiler has been testing constantly for a few days apparently so fingers crossed it’s ready to accept guests tomorrow.

I wouldn’t place my bets on The Smiler being open unfortunately - fingers crossed it is though. I think Spinjam has only just been installed, in the images it currently doesn’t have its Retro Squad branding on so it might be a few days yet for that

[BarryZola]

Genuinely really busy here. Already seen 2 vloggers outside the park filming Nemesis testing. Gonna be vlogger city here today.

 

[MattyH]

I hope the tavern is open today. It's absence was noted in November!

 

[Danscott22]

I genuinely think the good weather has helped towards a sell out day.

33 minutes until we can all whore over the app and be angry that some rides are still closed at 10:03. I can barely contain myself !

 

[Ethan]

For those of you there, which ride are you going on first

The important thing is that we all remember to be angry in the queue time thread, so the rest of us don't need to see it.
