Now this is strange, but interesting:
They park reopened for the main season Thursday with lots of rides still remain closed inc 4 of the main rides-
Shockwave
Appocalypse
Pandemonium
Storm Force 10
Polperro express
Drayton queen boat.
Plus on opening day G-force was also closed!
listed as for maintenance, which considering had 5 months to do isn't good at all! makes you wonder what the real reason is.

Wonder what they could be doing?On Facebook I've read a few people now all saying Stormforce 10 is apparently not opening until May/June as major work is being done.
I honestly reckon accelator theming is better then Ben 10 and the queue line in my opinion is much better it's lighter and very impressive! I reckon all they should do now is just paint the track to match the theme rather then Ben 10 because to me it's Ben 10 colour if I did not release before reaching the entrance I would not of noticed at all ? I reckon personally g force should go for a better coaster as personally too rough and the restraints seem to be really painful! Pirates adventure is a waste of space? Anybody got a idea what's happening with PA ?

Huh, so a major theme park, with a park entry price of £25/£40, has pretty much its entire thrill ride selection save Maelstrom closed for an entire day (and apparently for a number of weeks for some rides). With that kind of suicidal marketing, I wonder how many asked for a refund.... That's all I can really say from reading that.They park reopened for the main season Thursday with lots of rides still remain closed inc 4 of the main rides-

Here is footage of Accelerator's retheme.
And to be honest it doesn't look that bad(Apart from the tractors in the queueline which I'm sure are meant to be racing cars...)

The park raised the minimum height of the buffalo coaster to 1.05m and the drunken barrels 1.1m tall. My little girl was so upset as them two rides were her favourite. I asked about the buffalo coaster reason and they said it was to keep the queues down as it's still missing the front end of the train.
