2025: General Discussion

[s_g_k]

Aside from sluggish openings, operations and availability seem much better than last year overall.

Can only concur with this and say today was much the same, brilliant day on the park one of my favourites in recent times. Beautiful day, busy enough but a chilled atmosphere around, I think you’d struggle to find many people who were there today who said they’d had a bad day.

The ops were consistently excellent with The Smiler in particular having extraordinarily quick dispatches. Oblivion being on one station was the only ride not operating at full capacity that I noticed. The usual slow start in opening rides up which I can only assume is staff related as once rides got opened they pretty much always stayed open.

Managed Spinball, Mine Train, Curse x2, Toxicator, Galactica, Thirteen, Hex, Smiler, Oblivion, Wicker Man, Nemesis with no wait longer than around 25 minutes - Hex and Toxicator are so great for the park capacity. Left around 4, could’ve got Rita done to complete all the coasters as well as another couple of rides but feet were in pieces so left early but very satisfied.

And yes - Rapids reopened in the afternoon, perfect day for it but sadly a lot of people thought the same and with no official queue time the workers were advising an hour!

As it should be…

According to the opening times page, and the booking pages it appears the park is set to be closed on Sunday 7th September.

Given it’s listed in three separate places (on systems that I don’t believe are linked) it seems it’s unlikely that it is an error.

Very unusual for them to close on a weekend mid season, perhaps there is a private hire that was too good an offer to refuse?

RIght at the start of Oktoberfe...oh wait.
