Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

[Squiggs]

I’ve missed asking this so what are operations looking like on park today?

Doesn't look like operation has gone too well tbh...

Love this John Wardley & John Burton reference.

Based on the snapshot I took on queue-times.com a few minutes ago (due to Alton sadly now forbidding us from viewing queue times outside the park), I’d take a stab at it either being rammed on a level not seen in years or an absolute calamity in terms of throughputs:

The fact that multiple coasters are on queues of well over an hour, despite Nemesis Reborn boasting an alleged 275 minute queue itself, would certainly point that way, anyway…

Someone waited 5 mins for Twistatron did they well I’m quite surprised by that

To be fair, the park did sell out today, so I think it would be quite logical to assume that the park is simply rammed on a level that we haven’t seen in years.

 

[Squiggs]

Not only that... the park is at capacity, but with very, very few families. So you're at capacity with almost the entire audience focused on around 10 rides.

From the AT MAP FB group, this is the current queue for the shop...



Estimated to be 30 mins!

Everyone queuing for their free poster I bet

Only shop I've ever seen queues in before is the harry potter one in York. Imagine queueing 5 hours for the ride and then another half hour to get into the shop...

Hopefully the ops are:
Oblivion 6
Smiler 4
Rita 2
Th13teen 3
Wicker 3
Nemesis 2
Galactica 2
Might be being a bit hopeful there as those ops would mean Galactica is the only one not on max capacity

 

[Ethan]

I'd take a stab in the dark here that certain rides might be on reduced capacity

Apparently Rita is on 1 train

 

[Skyscraper]

Apparently Rita is on 1 train

That's correct unfortunately. The other one wasn't ready in time.

Apparently Rita is on 1 train

It is

 

[Matt N]

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Rita running 1 train before…

Is anything else knowingly on reduced capacity?

Thirteen on 2 and Smiler on 3 I believe.

Not ready?

Shame they've only had about 4 months to make sure things are ready..

And no buy outs this year either but still not ready

 

[Bowser]

275 minutes is insane!

 

[Matt N]

275 minutes is insane!

Thankfully, it’s now down to 155, with nothing else seemingly above 80.

Down to 2 hours now. This is the time to get on it

 

[Bowser]

A picture for posterity. Quite amazing there’s a 4+ hour queue for a 30 year old ride. Wonder how the queue line was accommodating this?
