That video was just brilliant to see. Did anyone see any thrill rides having repairs on them e.g Bounty??

I think they just been working on getting Thomas land and some of the family rides back open as they got another 3 weeks to get the park ready for the main season.

How busy it been today? Did u queue long to get your pass?
Sheriff’s Showdown isn’t a ride offered for March. I believe it is closed until the main season begins.

Yep I'm pleased that they did well to get it back up and running. Now I guess when the season starts (3 weeks on Wednesday) then they'll have most thrill rides open like Shockwave, Maelstrom, Apocalypse and Pandemonium.Im glad they made such a good recoveryThe team worked really hard.
Yes we went and picked up our ultimate passes for the year. It was bitterly cold but not too bad, Thomas Land was pretty busy and the rest of the park was quiet.
To be honest, other than some sandbags around, you wouldn't have thought the site was flooded. We went in the arcade which is only half open (possibly less than half) with most of the machines out of service. It's amazing they got the place up and running so quickly.

Any work taking place around G-force???
There was machinery there but didn’t appear to be any change since pre flooding, which isn’t that surprising.
Like I said on another thread, given main season is only 3 weeks away I wouldn’t be surprised if action park remained closed initially, either that there will be a g force sized space in the middle of it!

I hope that doesn't happen that would mean missing out on Stormforce 10, Shockwave and Air Race!!! No I think boards will be put up and they'll temporarily fill in the holes near G-force/ Stormforce 10!!
I hope you’re right. I’m planning on going again this weekend so I’ll try and we what progress has been made.

Excellent. I'll probably go for opening day or the first Tuesday of the year because it's going to be quiet with school still on for the kiddies then?

Yes I did look in there but staff were about to take pictures. It didn’t look that bad.

Those pictures are good signs for Stormforce 10 and the Bounty!!
The bounty looks like it survived unscathed and I imagine Storm Force was probably ok too, given it's usually full of water!
