2024: General Discussion

They don't look like AI to me, Artist is using CGI but that's not necessarily AI driven.

To be honest, I don’t think they look terrible at least to the untrained eye. I like how there’s more colour and how they are going with themes for pictures. We have to remember it’s a family park , not a thrill seekers park. The contrast is highly different.
 
Just noticed that the new jolly buccaneer logo looks a lot like the jolly roger logo at pleausurewood hills
 
just spotted the new Drayton vid for Rory and lory and couldn’t help but notice this. This has made lil man day. (Sneaky too because they haven’t asked consent)

It's in the T&C's when booking a ticket, entering the park acts as consent for photography. Sneaky but legal as far as I am aware.
 
Check the cover photo on their social media for more DraytonTalk surprises too ! Looks like they chose that day to get a few marketing style videos and photos
 
Really poor intermittent ride availability this afternoon - in a busy park.

The wave broken down at the bottom of the lift hill. Accelerator having maintenance work at the top of the lift

Carousel, Jeremy’s Jet, Loki also down for a long period this afternoon. Long queues for water rides.

Why have the rides been down - well this sign explains it:

i don’t think it’s been chilly LOL
 
Yeah did notice rides today were having issues - the heat may have impacted some. Heard the rapids went down for a time too.

Accelerator and The Wave were the biggest struggles today though
The group stuck on the wave before the lift hill must have been hot

Rapids was down as apparently they can't evacuate the wave while it's operating.

Ride availability was shocking yesterday for a quiet park, we bailed after Loki broke down.

Rapids was up for a bit whilst The Wave was down but then did go down too yeah :) Think it went down when they confirmed The Wave was down/needing the evacuations

It really was an unfortunate day for availability yesterday :(
We had a nice walk around the zoo / went to see the shows instead (Didn't do any rides)

Dropped in this afternoon after school. Its the first chance we've had to do that this season with after school clubs and reduced days opening.

We went along hoping to take advantage of smaller numbers to get a few trips on the Wave. The little lad has only been on once.

It was nice that we could hear the lift hill climb as we came up to the Vikings Entrance. And then made the swift walk round into adventure cove. The queue was to the final half flight of stairs. This moved to the top of the stairs pretty much straight away. But then...

It was clear there was an issue and guests did start to trickle aware as the minutes ticked by. An announcment came which detailed that there was an issue with the restrainsts releasing so there was a guest who was stuck after the ride had completed.

The announcment lead a good few more folks leave including a number who had been called through the gate into the boarding area. Indeed some more were about to leave and had made it back to the main queue line when there was a PING! then a CHEER! and then two guests blwoing out their cheeks and making their way to the exit.

We were then fortunate as most of the folks in front of us were part of large groups who wanted to ride together so we got called through. We did the ride and went off to get a drink. I don't know if some of the kiosks had closed because it was after four but we had to go all the way to fun foods. We queued for well over 10 minutes without any sign of the queue getting smaller (apart from some folks again giving up on the wait) before we decided to cut our losses and head off to McDonalds. The queue waiting to be served was quite extensive and there needs to be some consideration here.
