6. Bring the rapids back from the dead turn the waterfalls on and ramp up the speed (idc if they add seatbelts)
Realistically the best we will see on the rapids is the wave machines back on. Squiters won't return, as they do "encourage" people to stand and avoid the squirt. The waterfalls probably won't for the same reason.
But the wave machines move the boat and in my opinion don't specially make people more likely to stand to avoid the splash really.
increase the ATTP and have a few more live actors scattered around the park including Henry Hound
2. have a standard 9-6 and on summer days extend to 8pm
I don't want more ATTP, just more entertainment. Once covid distancing is no longer an issue, they need a show back in the theatre. But also more walk-round characters in general, Henry Hound, the pirates etc.
I think 10-6, with ERT from 9 is probably realistic for the summer, but I generally agree, the park should do 6pm as standard July and August. I'm happy to have the park closed on September Tuesdays if it means longer summer days.
7/8pm on August Saturdays would be nice. Even if its a gradual close. Bring back Henry Hounds party on Towers St thing at 6pm in the summer. Close CBeebies and some other smaller rides (Hex, Thirteen, Rita) at 6pm, then keep Wickerman, Smiler Nemesis to 7pm or something is another idea.
