[2025 Event] Celebrating 75 years - Easter

[Themeparksandy1981]

75 year celebrations are a year long thing from what I am led to believe.
I feel like the exhibition will stick around for the season, to allow everyone to experience it

We've made an Exhibition specific thread now - https://www.draytontalk.co.uk/threads/75-years-exhibition.539/

Yeah I guess they will keep the display up all year as it’s a lot of effort going into this just to be used for just over 3 weeks.
They will show the movie from the 4th to 28th April but then with the park closed 29th to 1st it will give the park time to test the 4D cinema and from 2nd May onwards the 4D movie and effects will be back working.

Won't bother then.

Not like TPWW, mate?

"The announcement was originally teased and framed as a playful April Fool's Day prank earlier today, however, the park will be removing entry fees for a number of days to celebrate its 75th birthday."

So for non-passholders there will be some free days.

Nah, to me he just sounds like someone whose dream job would be reading the traffic reports on Radio WM.

How busy is it today?

Averagely busy - we popped in for the morning to get a T-shirt and then plan on coming back later. People were still arriving when we left 30 mins ago. Wave queue was to bottom of the stairs - Gold Rush about 25 mins.

It's quieter as it's going into the evening. Quite busy earlier in the day. It's been very good day. Museum was really good. Some improvements in the park. Looks good for future events. Although not a massive Elvis fan lol
