Travellers Day Scarefest

Now we know. Thanks for the update. Was going to go this afternoon. Think I'll give it a miss.

Can't be that bad. Have you ever been during school trip season? That's bad time for anti social behaviour. Kids fighting in queues, saying stuff to other guests

Nope, never go in school trip season for that very reason and never will. Same as Family Friendly day. Why take the chance.

I see the first few complaints are starting to filter through on Twitter from people on park.

for those of you who don't use Twitter, me personally I don't care what people find offensive I will always try my best to avoid these days.

I'm going next Sunday
That'll be sods law

I can concur it'd bloody awful on site today. Seems to be less security / police presence than before as well, meaning the issue are far worse this year. I've seen people grabbed, touched up, assaulted, spat at.

Without wanting to bring back up the prior heated debate on this thread. This is what we all mean!

Have these individuals got something wrong with them. It isn't difficult to behave in a proper manner like everyone else. I don't know who they think they are to behave like that

On a positive note, the only time I unfortunately went on travellers day, a visit to guest services resulted in me leaving with enough tickets for a couple of free return trips the following year.

This is awful to read. No one should ever feel threatened at a theme park. Especially as they take all your knives and ordnance off of you at the gates these days.

Christ, that actually sounds terrifying. Hope everyone there stays safe. Glad I’m there next Sunday and not today.

Lots of bad comments about the scary atmosphere in X Sector this evening and fighting. Alton should really inform people when they are booking that these groups are going to be in the park. It’s really unfair on guests paying a small fortune with their kids to be subjected to this behaviour. It’s not acceptable.

As discussed above though, Towers can't always predict when those groups will visit. Could explain the lack of security and Police today.

It sounds like "My Big Fat Gypsy Towers" is happening today. I'll bet it is scary now it's dark.

 

[Nick🎢]

Yeah - sure many of us have worked in the hospitality industry in our time. Those that know, know.

 

[Benjsh]

Hope they don't visit on Friday next week when we are there. I might get arrested if they do. Hahahaha.

We had a lovely day in cbeebies land today. Everyone very well behaved from all groups, the atmosphere on Towers Street on the way out at half 5 was very different though.

I had a prebooking for today but decided against going as thought it might be "alcohol free family fun day" today. As a lone female visitor there is no way I'm taking a risk on visiting when this behaviour is out of control on park. It's a shame that AT can't get a grip of this, but with such a huge footprint of a park the security can only be in one place at a time. I'll visit on a weekday this week and should have a lovely, stress free day!

Just seen a post on twitter about a maze having to be stopped because of guest behaviour. Oh dear but hardly surprising.

In fairness, and its hard to say after a wasted day's hard earned cash (took my two lads, left early £200 down the drain), but it's a cultural thing. Like it or loathe it I don't feel it's correct to isolate and call them out as having something 'wrong'

 

[Danscott22]

as much as we’ve had discussions about discrimination in the past, when they are behaving like this, I’m really not surprised people feel a certain way towards them, no matter how this comment sounds, particularly if they are abusing people on park
