Quick Questions

Think I queued for 4ish hours for air opening

and about 3 for hex opening

There was one day this summer most of the thrill rides were down so we went to CBeebies and everything was walk on!

That sounds great for credit counters!

 

[RoyJess]

And that right there is part of the reason I still don't have the Octonauts cred nearly 4 years after it opened!

I wouldn't worry too much about getting your Octonauts creds, I'll be worried more about losing my street cred riding that thing

 

[Robert.W]

Haha, well I took my little brother on Octonauts to get the cred, so at least I was spared from some of the embarrassment

That's another big part of the reason why I still don't have it!

Probably best to wait until they announce opening times and the possible existence of staggered openings before being able to give a realistic answer.

They dropped stagereds openings by summer so surely they won't come back

They may have them in March and drop them by the summer again though?

Wanna bet?

I wouldn’t normally say opening weekend is that busy

 

[Ethan]

I can't wait for this years round of Merlin's "Let's see how crap we can plan to have opening times/rides etc before we get a backlash from social media and have to slightly downscale the misery".

You forgot to add,
"Then the fools will think we give a crap! MwuhahaHAHAAA!"

Take note, @Matt N.

Alton isn't that bad tbf. Plenty of good rides and attractions, opening times need to change abit but that's the only problem

I'm sure that Merlin will take note of your post and change the opening times a bit by reducing them even more

*The only problem other than overselling of fastrack meaning that queues often move slower than any park I have been to, mass abuse of RAP resulting in the same problem, excessive downtime, areas of the park looking run down and in need of TLC, multiple SBNO attractions, a lack of operating F&B units, VIP passholder farce, etc etc.....

All but the quietest days at Alton Towers are becoming unbearable.

I would agree with what you say about fastrack but sometimes I use them so can't rly say it's a bad thing. Yes it reduces throughout/capacity for main queue but unfortunately merlin care bout profit more than guest experience

What is people’s experience of share the fun vouchers? I’ve just looked and it says you can’t book on line, do you have to join that insane queue in the morning or is there a specific booth or something?

Not being able to book online and use an e ticket and enter the appropriate pass details really does seem rather backward

You have to queue and buy a ticket at the regular windows.
