Anyone know roughly how busy the park usually is on Tuesdays (specifically, during scarefest)

This Tuesday? Should be broadly similar to today’s queue times as it’s half term. 

Remember this rumour? Turns out it’s actually happening! I for one approve as it’s an appropriate replacement for the area before it. Hopefully we see some planning permission soon if there’s meant to be a new ride in there (presumably a dark ride)  https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/whats-on/alton-tow...

I think the issue might not be with the gondola itself, but with the motors underneath it - if they needed replacing, you’d have to take the boat out the pit first 

You think there’ll be any more progress on this retheme now Scarefest’s on the way? As of the weekend just gone I believe the rides in CCL were still open, the rumour was the area would close for the preparation work after the end of summer. 

Sit down on Blue Tornado. Well, wasn’t really a mistake since I needed the credit at the time...

Having not been to AT in August for a long time, could anyone give me an idea as to what queue times will be like Tuesday? I'm guessing quieter than August weekends but then again, with school holidays is it just as busy weekdays too? Generally 30-45 mins at the moment. Wicker Man and Smiler will b...

Given the font style, it’s definitely some sort of new kids area - if House of Monsters did actually return for Scarefest 2020 would it be in a different location?

Any truth that the Single rider queue doesn't operate now idf the queue is less than an hour long?

You’ll be pleased to know that’s a bogus rumor, pretty much everyone’s used it this weekend.

Come to think about it, I don’t think I’ve used the main queue at all this season.

“Yer queuing ten hours, ‘Arry”

“I’m what?”

For a trip in the future, which is generally the least busy time to visit AT in Scarefest?

The first weekend.

Never heard of any of the featured!

Good to see that they are continuing the MOS style events!

Neither have I, because I generally try to avoid bad music

No doubt it will be used for spares and repairs. After the trouble it had last year, I can't see it returning.  I do hope that they get a replacement though as I really enjoyed that ride!

Was it down quite a lot last year? I only visited Chessington once in 2018

I thought Rameses would have been the next removal, not this - Buccaneer's younger than Blade and there were no problems refurbing the latter to basically new condition 

Remaining open after park close might actually make more people want to do it, as they won’t see it as taking up time from their day 

Any plans to release the mounted POV that was recorded at the spring event? 

Forgot to ask this weekend, what’s actually the deal with the SR entrance being unmarked outside? It’s no secret that it’s back in use if you just ask AT on Twitter if the ride has it, or to those who find out when they get to the indoor section.

Queue times haven’t quite matched this time last year, but I’m guessing that’s because operations are better? 

Forecast 4c at 9am on Saturday, unsure if that will that be enough to run The Smiler for the ERT?

I don’t think we’ll see another hotel for a while now that the Pods have been added  Sub Terra could possibly receive a replacement since there’s hardly anything SBNO now compared to a few years ago and it’s sort of the only thing in that category left  (except for Scarefest when it’s Project 42)   ...
