Drayton Manor Park

Mr Pedant here. It's still the Easter Holidays for many schools around the area, including LEA schools in Birmingham (only the second week).

They haven't sold out. They aren't selling entry, which is your entire premise.

They are fully booked out, with free entry, for two weekdays of the Easter holiday.

I pity those who pay £10.00 for The Wave, with its recent operating throughput. I would not want to be the 283rd person in that queue.

Hey goosey, I accept the point, but it is no good providing sources that are a mere half a dozen years out of date!
Drayton is a park that would make far more money if there was a cheap entry/tickets option on a regular basis, even if only off peak.

You may not but other people might Wave does need some work to increase capacity

A second train.

And a sensible restraint system.

But Drayton Manor gonna Drayton Manor.

I think they will get a second train at some point. It can run with 2 hopefully ops is what they look into over the coming years

You, fine sir, have clearly not clicked through to the page and have merely relied on the auto summary provided by the TST servers! (I also accept your point).

That's what they said about G-Force.

And we're still waiting.

I'm still awaiting the buffalo coaster replacement promised for the millennium...by the gaffer.

It's broadly beside the point, but worth clarifying that the out-of-date info in the summary is due to an issue on Birmingham's website. Any time you see an auto summary like this, it is likely being provided by the metadata on the site being linked to.

I thought it was linked to the caching issue with the TST server, which is why anything from Facebook shows as German.

I think that's specific to the Facebook integration (or possibly social media more generally), which works slightly differently.

With general links, I believe the summary is pulled live from the website in question (if they've provided a summary). With the example from Birmingham, if you look at the website's source code, you can see the metadata is out of date for some reason.

Tamworth and Staffordshire schools are still off for Easter, until the 28th too. My child is enjoying his Easter break still.

Those are going to be some busy days at the park!
