gonna go tommorrow, just been given 3 free tickets and also found a 2 for 1 on a pack of rocky biscuits, so thats the 5 uf us in and only need to buy 1 adult ticket :D mind you its full price on the gate, bit of a con really when over £14 cheaper to buy a ticket online :crazy: but £40 for a family of 5 isn't too be sniffed at

Sounds like a bargain Leaky, you'd be mad not to go at £8 each:thumbsup:

Wish there were a few here that fancied it though, but I don't know know, maybe people are getting too old to enjoy themselves;)

that was good, we thought it was gonna lash it down today, had a small shower about 10 and that was it :D

top tip if you go with kids (or even without) get "Parent Queue Share passes" they are free from guest services, on the right as soon as you get in, one of you Queues for a ride as normal and gets your pass stamped, while the other goes and does something else with the little one, and when they come off the ride, the parent that didn't queue, takes the stamped pass, via either the fast track, disabled entrance or the exit, (its different on each ride) and goes straight on :D now here is the good part, we were a group of 5, me the wife, and 3 kids 6, 12 and 15, we were given 2 of these passes not sure if thats the norm, but we asked if we could have 2, so that the eldest 2 kids could go queue and get our passes stamped, then me and the wife go on whilst they watched the youngest. and it worked a treat :D the girls went on all the big rides as normal and each time got both the passes stamped, while me and the wife took the little un on rides that he was able to ride, then they gave us the passes back and we just went straight on, before we all headed off to the next area :cool: to be fair though they didn't even need to get them stamped, as there was no stamp, they just put a biro mark on them ie a scribble or a cross, or if they didn't have a pen just ripped it near the box as best they could, and on some rides they didn't even bother look at them, so grab some parent queue share passes from guest services as soon as you enter, your supposed to go in with a child to get one, but we didn't have ours with us when we went in, (if you dont have a child and try it and they ask where the child is, just say nanna and grandad has taken him to the loo, they dont bother, and if they say they need to child with you, say you will pop back in 5, treat it as mission failed ;) but if you do manage to get a couple of passes, take a pen, just pop a scribble, tick, cross, or even a rip in the box of the ride you want to go on, and go straight to the front ;) :D jobs a good un.

after all that though, i have never been on a weekend day before and the waiting times were fine, about 20 min for the biggest rides.
