Well, according to the recorded announcement when you call the park, March 28th, which is a Saturday as usual, however it has been speculated that it will open the previous Sunday, nobody is actually sure :lol:

Oh yeah, and selected rides open during Feb half term, however it isn't all the rides, Air and Rita are closed but Nemmy and Blivvy are on :D

I think the Woolworth's 50% off lasts until the end of November. Enter 'wool' on the website.
Problem is you'll have to try and find the actual voucher for it though since they often ask for it at check-in.

Ok quick question, more of a general wonderment really... Me and my mate were talking today and the question arose of how much it was cost to run a theme park per day - you know taking into account staff, electricity etc etc? I would imagine coater are pretty power hungry...

Will there be a closed season page this year? Thanks.

I am sure there will be. However, it is still very early. I was going go take pictures today, but my batteries died. Of course, anyone popping up to AT and able to get any images, I am sure Squiggs would be grateful!

I'll try on Tuesday, but it will be dark when I'm there.

alex tyler:
You will be able to claim the discount and you can only claim it over the phone.
Tom:
Flambos is around £16 excluding Annual Pass discount. I don't think there is a price drop though.

£16.95 is the standard rate. I doubt it will go down as Coke says... the price has actually already gone down somewhat since 2006/7. Beware that Flambo's does not open on quiet periods.

The park is closed. There are the Bouncing Bugs and Carousel in the hotel grounds, they don't give out much of an adrenaline rush though.

Just show them your pass and they SHOULD just take the 20% off the whole group's buffet price.
