2023: The Curse at Alton Manor

[Zeock]

I hope that the trommel will be working again soon, because it is an integral part of the ride in my opinion, and especially since the clock at the end of the trommel makes the illusion even stronger.

Trommel wasn’t working when I rode about 10.30

Probably cost related, they’ve turned it off to save some cash. Must be quite expensive to keep that running all day.

I believe on days below 12,000 attendance they'll be running the new for 2025 curse: brave the darkness where it'll be running in pitch black, open Monday to Friday between 14:00 and 14:30.

Lol
On a serious note why on earth haven’t they fitted solar panels on the roof of these ride warehouses ….

Because that would involve serious investment to the "back of house".
Something they do not currently seem good at.

Well, that's great news; at least they will cover that firedoor where the light shines through if 'pitch black' is the new addition for 2025.

Went in both Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, it had very intermittent availability (down most the Morning). Trummel has not been working both days.

Dungeons building is getting solar panels added, so it’s a start.

Should have been done years ago - when government were giving grants.

Anyhow off topic.

Meanwhile, over at Disney...
