Stargazing Pods

Simple solution, don't drink.
For some of us, myself included. That is not really an option...
Getting so drunk you haven't got a clue where you are is a far more favorable solution.

I find the better solution is not to drive at all. Then you can spend your whole life in a state of blissfull tipsyfication.

Fixed that for you.Getting so drunk you haven't got a clue you are at a Merlin park is a far more favorable solution.
There's not enough beer on Earth to make that happen.Let's face it, if you book a Stargazing Pod then you are probably under the influence. I'm sure they look alright after several pints.

It would be fun trying to find out. See you in Wetherspoons. I can thoroughly recommend the Thisly Cross cider. Trust me it's gorgeous (7.3% too).I find the better solution is not to drive at all. Then you can spend your whole life in a state of blissfull tipsyfication.

Stargazing pods through beer glasses. Nope, still looks rubbish!

Personally, I am a huge fan of anything alcoholic.
Maybe after a huge whirlwind of binge drinking, to the point that I identify as a kettle, the stargazing pods may look appealing then.

Maybe if Merlin had ditched the Alton Towers Dungeons & gone for the Alton Towers Distillery instead, then the Stargazing Sheds would be seen in a better light - especially after guests had visited the Distillery.Personally, I am a huge fan of anything alcoholic.

From the Distillery's products you would not need to drink too much to get really inebriated & make the Sheds look good. Low level of liquid intake drives down demand on the "facilities block" [or the rear wall of the Sheds if it's raining].
Very true! Whilst I am not a vodka drinker, I don't think we'd be talking "Merlin Smirnoff Black" here. More like "Merlin Turpentine". Produced at lowest cost to guarantee a very bad-head for pretty much all of the next day.I dread to think how rough Merlin brand spirits would be. Spill your drink and it'd eat through the wooden floor of the shed. It'd probably be legally classed as a hypergolic propellant.

The fish pie that I had should have been labeled,
Derivatives of fish offal from multiple species in a parsley flavoured suspension.
To be fair, I'm sure they would supply one of Argentina's best whisky's.

It’s Merlin, nothing surprises me these days.How do you add theming and end up making it look worse?!
The mushrooms suit the enchanted village but not sheds. The could of had rocks which had constellations on them or anything that was star relating
