Ride Availability/Operations 2022-25

[AltonLover123]

We have 'weather delays' on many rides for heavy rain now.

When Spinball couldn’t run in the rain (note: which it can again now) it had it for rain. All rides have a maximum operating wind speed so they use weather delay for that too. They also use it for thunderstorms.

But just heavy rain? As mentioned above, all rides can run in this.

I have been at Towers once when they stopped for the rain, but I imagine that brought lightning near enough by too.

Tbh, I’ve seen really heavy rain activate sensors and E-stop rides on life hills several times, is it worth the risk of leaving people exposed trapped on a lift hill for maybe 30-60 mins in those conditions ?

There are only weather delays now if the rain is torrential, which I think is fair
