It's an MAP restriction date today for all but the platinum passes, so likely fewer people on park. Think similar has happened with restriction dates earlier in the year?

I've tested this theory a few times this year to my cost. Spring Bank Holiday just as busy at Towers as any other day that weekend. Sunday before August Bank holiday at Thorpe Park was heaving. Have come to the conclusion that blackout days make no difference really, most visitors appeared to be paying ticket holders.

There is some inconsistent standing to this theory that Restriction Days are as quiet as any other weekend.

I've seen the times at Thorpe Park on Easter Monday and the May Restriction Days and they seem quieter than I thought.

August Bank Holiday and October definitely isn't quieter and is as bad as the non restriction days.

I think that we can all safely agree that attendance forecasting is not an exact science, or even a science at all.

Alton Towers is at its lowest ebb.

The park has rapidly gone from merely 'having issues caused by long term poor decision making' to being a total car crash, lacking in nearly every way.

It's currently the worst major park in Europe to visit.

To say this park was once in a loose club that included Europa-Park, Efteling, Parc Astérix and Liseberg.

It's actually upsetting what has happened.

Ferrari Land is worse. Towers with 0 rides open is nicer than that hovel. Major being with it in resort with PA.
