2026: General Discussion

I don’t know how robust it is but they should really move gallopers carousel to the top of Towers Street for this event at the very least.

Put aside the fact they need more 0.9 to 1.2m rides in general.

Yes I get there is the need to salt/grit more paths if the weather is bad but getting Fountain Square and Walliams World open would be better than Katanga Canyon. Having the Carousel, Frog Hopper and Gangsta Granny open would be perfect for the family half term event.

Hex, Curse and Wickerman (aware it is now but I mean as standard) should open as well tbh

That then goes back to debate on the type of event AT want to run and the price charged, is it a smaller scale family focused event for those with small children or a bigger event with multiple rides for those over 1.2m and who are happy doing scary dark rides. This in turn potentially pushes the price up but also may attract more passholders so the whole thing gets busier. Additionally if weather is worse then more paths need salt/grit rather than just focussing on Mutiny Bay and CBeebies land.
I think the idea of keeping it a relatively small scale more premium feeling event mainly for those with smaller children is quite nice compared to having a larger part of the park open and a lot more people in the park.
 
Good that they have opened Wickerman but bad for those who paid the same earlier in the week but didn’t have the same offering - and this is one of the issues I have with AT over the years - it’s never a consistent product.

You can visit one day and have the worst time ever. Next day it could be amazing. For the price - it should be amazing every day.
