I'd assume that's the waterpark menu, and then there will be a more substantial menu for evening meals? Although this is Alton Towers so...
I'm too confused how this will work for waterpark guests as a sit down restaurant. They're not going to let you sit down to a main meal in your Speedos are they. But then if you need to be clothed it kinda defeats the whole purpose of it being available to waterpark guests.
If this is replacing staff areas, what's happening for staff now. Are they simply losing space or is it being relocated elsewhere?
This is just a bizarre development and I don't really see the point of it. It seems like they want extra restaurant capacity, the powers above cannot be bothered to invest in new buildings and infrastructure, so try and find any possible space/room they can to shove an on-the-cheap restaurant inside.

I thought Speedos were banned?

I'd say something about indecent exposure, but I don't think it counts if there's nothing to expose?
Plenty of waterparks have sit down places to eat, Sandcastle in Blackpool has a similar burger shack with seats around the edge of the pool, but I don't really think a restaurant is necessary!
Guys I think you have all mis understood here. This is not a table service restaurant. It is a quick service, fast food cafe.
It is open for Waterpark guests throughout the day with the entrance from inside the Waterpark only.
Just wanted to clear up the confusion.
OSC will be transformed into a new offering shortly after Half Term with the new Adventurers Cave being the main hot food offering for the Waterpark.

What's happening to the sandwich place then? Only been there a couple of years.

Been there since the waterpark opened, just Merlin only invented the OSC branding recently.

Ah, it was suggested previously that it may also serve as an evening restaurant for the hotels after the Waterpark had shut. If that is not the case then I suppose the menu isn't too bad as a hot food option for just the Waterpark - standard theme park food.
I do still find it amusing how almost every Towers food outlet is a variation on pretty much the same food!

Its often the same at all theme parks. Every US Disney park has somewhere with Hot Dogs, a Burger place, a Pizza place and often ribs or rotisserie chicken meals.
At Towers the one that annoys me slightly is that Towers Street bar & grill and Woodcutters have almost the same menu. A little more variety there would be nice.

I know that, and I have no problems with theme park food being offered. But at Towers you have your standard theme park food outlets (fine) and then Woodcutters and TSB&G which is basically slightly better quality theme park food with a few added options, yet both menus are very similar. Even Rollercoaster Restaurant is going to have burgers! At Disney parks for example there are always alternatives to standard theme park food if you are prepared to pay a bit more.
I've not eaten at the hotels for a while but at least you can get some better food there!

Path from hotels to theme park coming along (pictures from TS Facebook)...
Very large posts! Either it will have a roof to provide shelter from the rain. Or they're building very large fences either side so guests can't jump over and die from the 3 foot drop you would get with a small fence.
I'm hoping they add some lights with this new path also.

Just to let you know, I've moved posts relating to Extraordinary Golf over to its own existing thread!
