Aw no, I liked the DJ. What type of stuff did Ignition do?So, Ignition (pre show live band) are a little hard on the ear. Bring back the relentless DJ!
Me just casually tapping my feet here waiting for some reviews to see if Iāve wasted my money for Sunday or not..
It was probably the weakest since pre Covid but full review pending!Me just casually tapping my feet here waiting for some reviews to see if Iāve wasted my money for Sunday or not..
Awful chart covers.Aw no, I liked the DJ. What type of stuff did Ignition do?
No, but much more variety in terms of effects. We had lighting, fireballs, lasers and waterscreens in the Curse At Alton Manor section and a bit at the end as well.Any drones this year?.
Thank you.. going tomorrow and looking forward to it.. I've seen drones at DLP and even though they are good, once you've seen them I don't think it has the same impact again. I've never been to a display of this magnitude so will just go with the flow.No, but much more variety in terms of effects.

I think they also had ground shakers as well because there was one segment where the ground literally shook accompanied by huge bass thuds!
Iād take the above over drones to be honest.
Now Iāve processed it more, I take back my previous comment about the display being the weakest since Covid.
It was much better than last year in terms of pure pyro power. And Iām so glad they didnāt focus on the coasters yet again. It was much more about the themed areas.
We left straight after the display finished Iām afraid.Thank you.. going tomorrow and looking forward to it..

Going with the mindset that the weather will be torrid. The rides might be unreliable. But if I can just get on Smiler and Wickerman in the dark I'm happy. Do we know how queue times were for them after the display today?
Going tomorrow too, weather is looking dreadful isn't it 13 will be shut all day lol.Thank you.. going tomorrow and looking forward to it..

Thanks - coaster availability is at the back of my mind - it's down to luck.. my youngest boy hasn't done Galactica, Rita, Blivvy or Smiler as he was too short last time out. If he can get on one of them If be happy for himWe left straight after the display finished Iām afraid.
Iāll write a full trip report tomorrow, but even though it was very busy today and coaster availability didnāt seem great for those purely looking at the app, it really wasnāt that bad. We managed 9 rides in total by 5:30pm having arrived at 0930.
But going back to fireworks, Iād happily take tonightās variety of effects over some drones any day.
The sound could have been louder though, although we werenāt stood on the lawns this time, we were stood next to the closest circle of grass at the bottom of towers street.
In terms of ride count, the usual always stands. Start at the back of the park and you can have 3 coasters done by 11 provided youāre in a queue for one of them for 0930 and it opens on time.Sorry could I also ask if there are any tips

Don't be too hasty with writing 13 off. I went during peak Storm Babet expecting it to be up and down all day and it ran up until 10-15 minutes before ride close.Going tomorrow too, weather is looking dreadful isn't it 13 will be shut all day lol.
I'm hoping to do 13 and Wicker Man at night, done smiler already, brilliant night ride.
Hopefully get the rainy day guarantee
