Obviously the main reason for me going on Monday is Icon, but I also haven't done Revolution before. Has anyone got any tips for riding Icon and Revolution for the first time?

Does closing earlier than advertised for no legit reason not come under false advertising laws?

Not sure, all I know is that their T’s & C’s basically say that opening times are subject to change. They can seemingly do what they like. Which is poor when people have paid up in good faith expecting certain hours. Barring some absolutely biblical weather, I don’t think they should close early. Even in the rain some people will be happy just doing the dark rides and popping in and out of cafes, etc. It’s only fair they get the option to do this

Surely this in itself shouldn't be allowed. They can't just put things in T&C's that they know people don't read that then allow them to remove value from their product on a whim? Isn't that like Next selling jeans that fall apart when first washed, but then claiming that somewhere on their website on a convoluted page in miniscule text that it warned you that the clothes may disintegrate upon contact with water?
 
They are hardly the first company to stitch people up with T&Cs. How many of you pay attention to all those cookie warnings before you click "OK"?
Some shops in America have started adding fine print to the bottom of their reciepts saying "by buying this product, you agree not to leave any negative comments or reviews about it or our company anywhere on the internet. If you do we will sue you"... And they have, too.
 
It’s not even buried in the terms and conditions it says quite clearly on the opening times page that earliest possible ride closure is subject to change, which is just absolutely ridiculous

They stitched up season pass holders in a similar but more sneaky fashion imo by just rewording some advertised benefits, ie dedicated season passes entrance is now a general entrance for everyone

Received a phone call yesterday from the pleasure beach... New hotel opening has been delayed by at least a week so I can't stay on the 1st of June.

The good news is that they exchanged my double room at the boulevard hotel to a king suite at the big blue. Result :)

So jealous! Enjoy it and report back.

You got a source? Seems pretty dicey, as it'd be effectively reforming a contract after the point of sale.
 
Right...
The east entrance has never, ever been season pass holders only.
Not for a single day.
You got money or an online booking, they let you in, always have.
If it is open or not on specific days is another matter.
Half a dozen days last year we were refused entry due to events, or simply locked out.
Revolution...front seat, best view on the way there, scary whip off the drop on the way back. Long queues if it is only on one train.
Icon...keep left after the scanner if you want a front seat...the gatekeeper may not let you.
Back seat gate is right just after the scanner, back left seat you can touch the track when upside down going through the first inversion if you are tall. Naughty but nice.
Anyone over 1.5 metres can fit in the back seats, not just lard.
Any seat is good enough on rev or Icon.
Expect it will be very quiet, so icon may only be on one train, with about a ten minute queue.
Monday is to be the only dry day next week locally, you may have hit it lucky.
Good luck.
