Good Points

Big rides are great fun.
Kids enjoyed themselves.

Bad Points

Queues, queues, queues for most rides.
Signage around the park pretty poor. No distance on the signs and they point you to where the path splits with no 2nd sign.
Monorail broke meaning we had to walk for 20 mins with small children after queuing to get on it! Not all big rides running.

General Comments

Got 75 % discount on tickets but with parking still cost us £50.
I think this place needs someone to grab it by the scruff of the neck and sort it out.
When you arrive, I couldn't see any indication of how far the walk from the car park is and if its better to get the monorail - it's easier to walk than spend half an hour in monorail queue!
In my opinion the car parks are in the wrong place - either the car parks or the entrance should be moved.
I couldn't see any information as I went round the park indicating how long the queues are at the rides.
Most of the rides seemed pretty slow getting people through them - again I think someone needs to look at the whole design of this.
The most interesting thing I saw was a 2nd day £8 sign which was all over the park - somethings making me think they have a problem getting people to go back!
