I thought I’d have a stab at my first thread. Apologies if it’s a rubbish topic!
I think we can all agree that The Retrosquad have been pretty popular this season, with queues sometimes pushing 60 minutes. They’ve also been good at dispersing guests, however their place at Alton Towers has certainly divided opinions and I have to admit that their fairground look and 80s soundtrack is certainly jarring, despite mediocre efforts at the “retro” theming.
What do we think about the 2022 season? Will they stay or will they all go? Will we be left with 3 empty spaces or will we have 1 or 2 permanent flats installed over the closed season? There’s also the question of Flavio’s Fabulous Fandango. Whilst not part of the Retrosquad, it’s quite clearly a temporary fairground flat and it was a surprise when Alton Towers announced it separately to The Retrosquad.
My ideal scenario is that we begin to see the reintroduction of permanent themed flats to the park over the next couple of years but it would be great to hear your thoughts!
