I go to AT on Monday and Tuesday which rides are on the early ride time this season?

Mutiny Bay
Heave Ho
Marauders Mayhem
Sharkbait Reef by SEA LIFE

Katanga Canyon / Gloomy Wood
Runaway Mine Train
Duel

X-Sector
Oblivion

Forbidden Valley
Nemesis
The Blade

Don't think you can go down the right hand side past sonic spinball to get to Oblivion, we done that and it was blocked off and got told to walk across to the Battle Galleons where they check your Annual Pass / Online Ticket / Hotel Booking and then free to go wherever you want from there with only ERT guests - so you could go queue straight for The Smiler like we seen some people do!

I'm going tomorrow with my 2 sons, my YS and I have Merlin annual pass, but ES doesn't, I've phoned and got him a ticket through the MAP helpline, collecting ticket at the park - does anyone know if he'll be able to come in on ERT with us?

[Groovee]

My friend was telling me last night that when she goes she buys a one day ticket and then upgrades the ticket on the day to a 2 day one for some extra money. Can this been done?

It might however work out cheaper (unless you're entering using a 2for1 voucher) to book online for a 2 day ticket

We have the 2 for 1 tickets and having done my usual bargain hunting, we save £30 using 2 for 1 and buying a return ticket for £9.80 each. :lol :lol

I cannot say for sure, but when we went with our 1 day tickets they let us in anyway! They don't seem to check very well, if at all. They never took our tickets, just looked from a distance and let us walk on by. If you show them a MAP in sure they'll let you all in

I know that if you are using your £10 birthday vouchers with your MAP then you and your friends all get ERT as long as you all enter the park together. I would think the same applies to MAP family and friends tickets, but can't say for sure. You could always ask to double check when you collect your tickets

Is the burger kitchen similar to Burger King? Or is it something else entirely?

It is similar in that it sells burgers and chips etc all that type of Burger King food, however it is an entirely separate company owned and operated merlin within it's own parks and attractions. I'd recommend popping into the shout box if you'd like a rage of opinions on the burger kitchen to get an idea of whether it's nice or not hope this helped

That website isn't actually that useful. It has the 2013 opening dates on rather than this year, and the how busy colour coding is all off because kids holidays etc have been different this year.

Hey

So i booked over the phone earlier this year but i chose the option to pay half then and half later on. Its now only 2 weeks until the payment is due and i was wondering if the payment comes off automatically or do i have to phone up again??
