I’ve come up with a sort of development plan for Alton Towers. It is mainly based on my wishes and hopes but I have tried to think about profitability and commercial viability. I’ll start with my year-by-year plans then move on to general improvements to be carried out at any stage. 2020 – The theme...

With the free tickets from The Sun, can they be upgraded to a season pass or can that only be done with a purchased ticket? Also can premium season passes be bought on the day?

As you pay £0 for the free ticket, you would have to pay the full price for the season pass to upgrade to it.

I thought people were quite excited before I read this thread. Firstly, Lego haven't bought merlin. Lego's parent company (which exists almost solely to serve Lego) have bought some more of Merlin. That's it. I am confident in the future of the company. Lego have a great company ethos, which is cert...

Now, I want to bring more attention to Thorpe's running actors. We've had 4 different types of actors running around park since Opening Saturday.  1: Jungle Crew (not australian) 2: Film Crew  3: Jungle Crew (Australian, Jungle Escape) 4:Old Town Crew. This just could be thorpe trying to incorporat...

done. good luck!

Just got back from AT for the first time in afew years.  Nemesis as good as ever.  Does anyone else have the theme tune stuck in their head when they get home?   Impressed with the 15 minute waiting time for a bank holiday Monday. Sorry to be off topic but what is it that makes a coaster rough with...

I'd second a private message. Doesn't take them too long to reply and you have it in case of confusion later.

We think we are probably the world leader in themed accommodation

Nick Varney said that. Has he heard of Disney?

I think to brand it as a midway attraction it has to be replicable? Warwick castle certainly can't be built in any city Merlin fancies! I did enjoy great Yarmouth. Even just looking at joyland and pleasure beach was plenty interesting. One of the highlights was finding a small window in the building...

Not sure about this but I seem to think Easter last year was travellers’ weekend?

And sea life Great Yarmouth is missing from the map Yarmouth is not really worth a trip for nowadays.  It has a lot less aquariums and not that many interesting fish now.  IMO it's really gone down hill the last two seasons.  It used to be a good Sealife  My first visit to Great Yarmouth was in Feb...

Welcome everyone. Come say hello in the shoutbox sometime!

It does look a lot nicer than the old, outdated one. something tells me this isn't quite right though...

Its great that they're making so many different ones as there's definitely something for everyone's tastes and interests.

That is a fantastic deal! I don't have a MAP but for those prices I highly recommend trying it. It's a great opportunity to try obscure, expensive activities such as indoor skydiving at a far more affordable price.

Communication is the reason SRQs were removed in the first place. Staff weren't told how to properly manage them so they didn't work. Is there no way to just inform all staff of changes?

Welcome people. say hi in the shoutbox some time!

No doubt the sugar tax has been incorporated into the main cost of the cup, therefore sugar free drinkers are paying a premium.  I could be wrong! Yes this is likely. I think the point is to make a difference in price between sugary and sugar free drinks but I do think that was optional, provided t...

Not sure how that will work given the sugar tax in the UK. At Alton, even with an unlimited cup, Coca-Cola costs an extra charge because of the sugar content. I'd imagine something similar might have to happen in this case, but it would be difficult because they are automated.
