Part 1 of a making of Mardi Gras video just published. When you see videos like this I think it makes you realise the planning, work and effort that is put into these events - things which I think we're all guilty of forgetting about sometimes when we're criticising Towers about or commenting on these events. And I must admit the music is a bit funky - I suspect Simon Allen as the composer!
Definitely looking forward to this although I still don't really know what to expect from all those stages and floats, my hope is that those will suck enough guests out of the queues that the park can take pretty much regular crowd levels keeping with current guidelines. The one thing they need to sort out, and I'm aware that I'm going to start sounding like a broken record, is the opening hours. Unless they extend the opening hours past 5pm this event is going to be a dud and the fact that they are waiting this long before advertising opening hours is making me a bit nervous...
Booked for Sunday 23rd. It would be nice to know what time the queues will close before then so I can start properly planning my day.It isn't going to 5pm on weekends or holiday periods - hands down. The park are clearly just awash with worry and are probably waiting to check on ticket presales prior to confirming the closing times. Of course, if they advertised the hours it might actually MAKE people book...
The second week is May half term so the park will be a lot busier (this will also be the test of how many people the park with the added capacity can take). The first week I would expect to be a fair bit quieter but still busy enough for 4pm closures to be too short.Looks like the weekends and second week weekdays will be 7pm close but the first week weekdays will be 4pm close :-(
They're selling Twilight tickets as well, so could get busier in the afternoon.Today is now 8pm close.

Just had a look, looks like they've removed them from sale.Can anybody link to the twilight tickets for tomorrow evening? Been looking for them but unable to find.
Is there a bar on the lawn like there was at oktoberfest?
