General Comments

I took my son and nephew yesterday. We queued for one hour to buy our admission tickets, which came to £74. We finally got in at 11.15 they went straight onto Nemesis. I lost sight of them at the top of the queue (after 40 mins) when they looked like they were almost there. After another 30 mins I thought I had lost them so reported them missing! I couldn't believe that it had taken them so long to get on. Once reunited we found that Loggers leap, Tidal Wave, X No Way Out, Samurai and Rush were all out of action. We were not told on the board outside about 3 of these. The queues for any remaining rides were horrendously long which we could not face. We did one biggy, The Rapids, the babies Flying Fish( not scary enough for 2 11 year olds) the Time Voyagers ( which we missed the 2 o'clock showing because they started earlier than advertised) and the Depth Charge. I do not think that is anyway worth the money. Even the boys hated the day, and never want to go again.
