Re: Quick Questions 2013
Now I'm looking at getting a premium merlin annual pass in the Jan sale (as it would only be £5 more than what I was originally going to pay).
Would I be able to buy this online in the sale, or would I have to go to a Merlin Attraction?

Re: Quick Questions 2013
OK, so my Premium MAP is due to arrive in the post soon, and I'm going to AT in february! I was just wondering how you get in with a MAP. Is it that you go through the normal turnstiles like everyone else, or that there's a separate entrance?

Quick Questions 2013
There is a separate entrance, which is signed above, although on busy days or if you are feeling lucky, they will let you in at the turnstiles.
Said entrance is to the left side of the entrance. Can't miss it. They scan your pass manually.

Re: Quick Questions 2013
Yes, you can now use any of the turnstiles, just like before. I believe locking them down and having to use the MAP entrance was part of an initiative to clamp down on people misusing the passes, as the hand scanners gave the staff chance to look at the photo and expiry date to check it was all in order.
There was a phase where if you used some MAPs at a normal turnstile your photo would actually appear on the screen, which seemed quite a good idea, as it solved the photo problem of staff not being able to see it. I wonder if we might see this rolled out to every pass this year to kill two birds with one stone.
The last time I went to the MAP entrance (There is a sign over it) I was told I had to go through a normal turnstile though, and the MAP entrance was no longer used. They could of at least taken the sign down. It'd be a 10 minute job to unscrew it
