Paid a couple of visits to the park. Once on the Sunday at the end of the Easter Holidays and then an after school trip last Thursday.
On the first it was disappointing that Stormforce 10 was closed all day. The Rapids was closed for a considerable period too. I am able to report though on the dirty fries - purely for research you understand. These were served from the kiosk at the back of the Chicken Diner next to the Tidal Towers play area in Adventure Cove. I had the katsu curry fries.
Now, unlike some posters, I used to be a real fan of the food at DMP. It was never corden bleu, but it was wholesome, decent portions at a reasonable price for a theme park. I was particularly a fan of the pasta place. In the last couple of years the price has gone up, the portion size has reduced at a greater rate than the discount for pass holders. The quality has held up pretty well even if the choice in some outlets has reduced.
Katsu fries fits in with this trend. Was it nice, yes. Will I be purchasing on each visit? No. The increase in price means I proably spend much less readily in the park than I used to. Here you have effectively a posh side costing the same as a supersized meal from up the road. I don't know how other pass holders feel but if they'd increased the discount rather than reduced it then the amount of income from us would possibly increase.
The afterschool trip the following Thursday was fantastic. It was like Cartmanland. Walked on and stayed on Accelerator, Troublesome trucks and four times round stormforce 10 (little lad made 1.30m over the winter!!).
