Gold rush wasn’t open this afternoon

 

[MPDarby]

I'm not massively surprised given the weather. Calmer weekends expected in coming weeks so hopefully full Christmas ride offering will be available

It was open this afternoon. A total walk-on all afternoon

I seen TPWW has been there this afternoon. Was it on 1 train only?

 

[manwithstick]

Yes saw TPWW about - very much hoping to be spotted!

Yes, Gold Rush was on one train. Though operations were really good.

I finally got to do cycle 2 today. I found it much better than cycle 1, mainly that first bit when it pulls you back down the lift-hill.
Also not sure if this is just me but I thought cycle 2 felt much longer than cycle 1?

I believe they are both the same duration

Given the weather, it may struggle - as weather impacts rides.

Gold Rush is brilliant! Awesome theming and layout but one thing that irritates me about the queue/batching is that the main queue doesn’t get first dibs on their row, easy access/fast pass does. This meant that both front/back row were taken. this always been the case, only been on once today?

 

[Stevie]

All the times I’ve been with my boy and used easy access they only use the back two rows. Guess depends how busy it is

 

[Haz]

If you ask the person batching nicely for the front they usually put you to the side and wait for the next train.

I use the access pass with my boys, I think it depends on who is on the gate, sometimes we've been let on and can sit where we like and other times we get sat at the back.

ah okay that’s good to know, ended up going at the end of the day just before five so there wasn’t a fastrack/access queue when I got on so got back! Going to try get front next time so good to know it’s not always the case. Thanks for the info!
