Anyone been to Drayton this week, has it been busy and how have ops been?

I visited last weekend. It felt busy but seemingly more people were sitting around rather than actually queuing for rides. Even in that scenario, the ops were making PortAventura look idealistic.

Gold Rush was stacking, every time. The Wave was averaging 5 mins per dispatch. Even the beer tap had a slow flow.
 
I went yesterday but would have classed as off peak (4pm close) as Staffordshire schools hadn’t broken up until today. Was not to busy but still good number of people. Goldrush was only running one train and opened late due to tech issues, we Waited 30 mins looked about 40 mins rest of th3 day based on where the back of queue line was.

didn't ride the wave due to the age of the child I was taking. But i think was an hr plus based on what heard others say, Didn’t really wait much for other rides, rapids and Loki 10 mins. Most of the others we walked on or waited 1 cycle. Accelerator and storm force 10 looked to have sizeable waits but didn’t ride these. Maelstrom looked like 2 cycle of guests waiting every time walked past.
 
Indeed. They just need to invest in getting RPH up as the park has never come close to even 50% of what the rides are capable of and it really shows when the park is busy.
 
A lot of Drayton Manors Rides are low Capacity anyway and I am not sure there designed for the park to be mega busy, Wave certainly needs a 2nd train.

I think this year they have worked on RPH.
They added a extra member of staff on busy days on the Haunting so now they doing the pre show, Skeleton corridor and as soon as the Library finished they loading the next lot of guests into the trailer so your really only waiting roughly 7 mins.

There have been multiple rumours that something is about to happen with Pirate Adventure site whether it be returning, something new or using the Ride system for something different do you believe it's true

There have been multiple rumours that something is about to happen with the Pirate Adventure site since before it closed in 2015.

One of them is bound to be true eventually.
