It’s theming! Towers had to “TLC” Hex for 12 months to get that level of dust

Has anyone seen this on their Vampire Beach 2018 webpage?

It's like they want to be criticised

Does vampire beach hit capacity? Do season pass holders need to book or anything?

Holy crap. That is really poor. Rubbing it in even more. Sorry Doug that you had to be reminded about the Mouse again

Not really, but it does seem odd to use a photo of a ride no longer there to advertise this year's Halloween event.They used a Halloween event photo from last year when Wild Mouse was still standing? Shock horror!
Sorry, I'm meant to feel insulted are't I. Damn them!!
Unless they're bringing it back?

Boo! So has the old Monorail station actually been taken down? Or if not then will it be next week?

It's utterly ridiculous that PB are still selling 2018 season passes for £189 on their website. They should be knocking these out at £75 max now. They may even sell a few if they did that.
As for 2019 I am hoping it won't go over £100 for a renewal, if it does then that will probably count me out.

£100 is my absolute max which I think represents fair value for both parties

Agree with this. I wouldn't go much over £100. They should realise that people will factor travel, food, etc into the overall cost. If you live around the corner from the park, then paying a little more for a season pass maybe isn't that big a deal after all. Really don't see why this late on in the season, they don't offer a bargain end of season pass for the last month or so. Sport clubs for example I know will give a discount if you join late on in the year. Can't see anybody forking out £189 for a few weeks of riding and I wonder why their staff don't think of things like this.
Well someone had to be 'that guy.' Shout it from the rooftops, "WE'RE NOT PAYING ENOUGH! CHARGE US MORE!" Don't give them ideas!
On a totally unrelated point, out of curiosity, are the airgates on Nash on some kind of timer or are they manually shut by the staff? I ask because they really don't stay open for long at all. Its a bit tight when there are a few empty rows on the coaster, then as people just get through the scanner, they spot the empty rows and then have the gates shut on them. Dipper is way better in this regard. The other day I got waved through for the final empty row, when on Nash the gates would have been shut in my face before I had chance to board.

I've noticed this, it seems silly to send so many empty seats on the National when they take so long to send anyway (on four), there shouldn't be empty rows going out. It'd be fine if Nash could send trains before the others are back, but as there's the delay anyway they could at least make sure all rows are filled to keep queues to a minimum.
