Paultons Park: General Discussion

[Hid]

Paultons has only in the last 17 years gained its reputation.

Alton, Chessington, Drayton, Thorpe and Pleasure Beach have been established a lot longer than Paultons so they will of course be busier

17 years is a long time!

It's about relative popularity so there is the discrepancy of the Merlin parks queue times being multiple times longer than the past weekend and Paulton's not despite the great weather across most of the country.

Are 4 times as many people visiting Merlin parks today than at the weekend due to the weather and not the same at Paultons?

I get why people grab onto Paultons because it’s the rare beast of a UK park that cares about the product but people talk about it like it’s a major UK national park when it is still ultimately a small regional affair.

Paultons was more accurately smaller and regional 10-20 years ago, but not so small and regional now, even if Merlin as a company still dwarfs it nationally or globally, and this latest YT vid is almost like a sarcastic attack ad on Merlin's parks:
