Ride Availability/Operations 2022-25

Nice to see that extended winter maintenance paying dividends on the Rapids, it hasn't opened today. Assuming the issue with Battle Galleons is still something to do with the gas alarm.
Rapids is back open just a fault likely it happens.

Ride Availability has been alright rides have gone down but mostly to put on or take trains off

Overall had another great day at Towers

@Matt N i was just thinking of our conversation and friendly disagreement the other day about Merlin parks typically having very long queues so i thought i'd glance at a random Saturday morning:

Was actually surprised at how short Chessington's are compared to our usual visits. One major attraction closed at each park.

Meanwhile at Paultons the longest queue outside of Peppa Pig is 10 minutes (the longest in Peppa is 25 minutes). No attractions closed.

Mind you a lot of the rides are older than Paultons rides. Majority of Paultons rides are less than 10 years old
