I believe today is a school day? Lets see what's happening at the parks at this random moment...

There are always other variables naturally but i don't think that's a particularly unrepresentative picture.
 
Fit for the Future is rinsing all the Merlin parks, a VP has little say in that sadly and totally understand the workforce being demoralised by the whole process. As the showpiece UK theme park Towers will always attract more interest and scrutiny but I'm sure it's the same at Thorpe Legoland and Chessington

So your point is Towers is more popular today than Chessington is?

Wonder if that’s something to do with my point on “events”….. Towers has Scarefest and is open until 9pm today, Chessington has not much and open until 5pm.
 
Scarefest is probably the main deciding factor in Towers’ larger queues, but even without that, I’d also make the argument that Chessington’s more child-centred target market makes it less likely to attract significant crowds on weekdays, whereas Towers has slightly more universal appeal and might be more attractive to guests without children in the midweek periods.
