2024: General Discussion

I like that concept it’s definitely one way to mitigate the complaints. We are here and the music they have playing in the main entrance (which is still red !) has been fantastic.

You're early
(Then again I'm also on track for 10am...)

With the way the motor way has been I always try to leave early. The road wasn’t flooded when we arrived from junction 9. We also like to park close to the gate haha makes it easier for car trips.

We may be able to make a late appearance after all. Glad the park is open till 4.30!

 

[Wilko]

Says 5 on Guest Services board, or did earlier at least!

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

Minor update new lockers

Does anyone know if the park still sell the Rory teddies?

Not currently unfortunately but you can find a lot second hand on eBay or vinted at good prices

I got mine from eBay

Hoping with the shop being renamed we may get new Rory merch! (I've been asking for ages )

Ohh interesting. Wonder how many runs it has to complete before opening

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

It’s been rumoured to open next weekend. I think as it’s a new train only it doesn’t need as many tests as a new coaster would need and they can do the staff training at the same time.

 

[Charliie]

Here’s a better one

 

[RustyShackleford]

I hope thats not them rehearsing for it breaking down!

I noticed it to! I thought it was open when I drove in turns out just being tested

 

[Elise]

Did it test at all?
I heard it was just parked up there all day

 

[Charliie]

It was just parked up all day. The maintenance was working on storm force.

 

[Stevie]

They were working on it all day today. Welding and cutting something. No pic but the first carriage is over the peak and not currently on the track (So it’s literally in the air ) so seems some major alterations are needed

This is why the wheel was off - taken yesterday. It’s crashing into the evac walkway support at the top
