Ride Availability 2017

[GaryH]

Rite is currently open.

Ooh is that a new ride?

Looks like another very busy day in the park with Rita and Smiler at 75 minutes, Octonauts at 70 as well!!

I wonder though if its down to guest numbers or just not enough rides to soak up the crowds....

A combination of both I would imagine. It's not ideal that they really seem to be suffering with downtime this week.

Apart from Rita, the down time has been fairly intermittent the last 2 days with nothing down for too long and everything back up and running again really quickly.

The problem is, when the park is this busy (because of ramming scarefest into 1 week), when you're told to clear off for a bit and ride another attraction there's nowhere to go. You can either join another 70 min coaster queue nearby, only to see the ride behind you running again 10 mins in or if you've ridden that already you can walk to another area only to find once you get there the ride you wanted has reopened.

I think the lack of Ripsaw, Submission, Twirling Toadstool and other smaller attractions than can soak up a few people when there is downtime is the problem now. Yes there are still big rides/attractions missing (Charlie, Ice Age, Sub-Terra) but the smaller ones are the problem they need to address. Also making sure catering can cope with the crowds!

Consistently long queues today but they've been hauling ass to be fair to the crew on there.

Don't know if it's just because it's busier but the team on thirteen have been doing a great job with operations recently!

The crews on all rides have been doing a great job of throwing the crowds through all week. The lack of rides is the problem
