The week before is likely to be quieter, yes. But you only get til 6pm. Also be aware, if you weren’t already, that on 10pm closes, a large chunk of the rides (most of South Park) close at 9pm in preparation for the fireworks. Also I think The Big One generally gets big queues on late night riding, and sometimes it only runs one train and is then further hampered by speedy pass!
I haven’t looked into this seasons late night openings yet, do they all feature fireworks?

Also if you’re not too bothered about going early to get your spot for fireworks, and prefer to ride, the few rides that ARE open 9-10 get very busy. Such as Grand National. Oh and Flying Machines will close in high winds.

So, Bowladrome has gone. The cheap looking panels have been installed and today they are installing Led lighting strips and metal brackets.

All of the pictures you posted are not viewable unless you have a google account and you have granted access to view them, which you have not done.

Far easier to upload the pics to an image hosting site and link them into here :)
 
@rob666 it may have been.... Was I sat next to you?

And I fixed the links. My bad - they should work now.

There were workmen working on Burger King Station on the PBE today - it looks like station is blocked off to the park, but the station looks like it now accesses the new hotel...

Good job I didn't say hello then!
Only lasted an hour or so.
Four coasters, dodgems to shelter, and a beer.
Heroes welcome on the Steeplechase, because I'm a regular idiot, and they had zero other punters for ten minutes before I turned up.
No hands.

The only ride that wasn't a walk-on for me was the Ghost Train! Big one was running half trains, and I still didn't have to wait.
Icon was on one train...

There was a kid sitting in the second row, other than that....

It may be a good sign that it's all been done on the cheap, makes it more likely to be a temporary measure for a season or two, then perhaps it will be removed to make way for a new ride.

A warning for you all. The long proposed resident / permit holder only parking restrictions are now in force on Osborne Road, Withnell Road, Windsor Avenue & Brighton Avenue near the Pleasure Beach
