And no cheese for the chilli cheese dogs
Plus it was wet all day
Bonus Valhalla was a walk on 😂😂😂😂
Michael Moss Yes i noticed 🤣
UK Theme Park Spy I laped it 6 times on the front row casue it was walk on 😂
Not a good start at all… Perhaps this weekend was too ambitious… Maybe 16th March weekend might have given them the time they needed to get it right…
Mark Fletcher Do they open to early in the year?
UK Theme Park SpyI think maybe they should look to open for Easter holidays but also look at later opening hours throughout the season…
Mark Fletcher the park always needs some shake down time upon reopening after the winter break. They used to do this in February. Imagine if they opened for Easter with the same problems they had today. Normally I get park numbers from staff I know on the park. But there couldn’t of been any more than 2500 on today. There’s normally 4 times that at Easter, that would be a total disaster
Peter BracewellYeah, fair point….
Louise Cumiskey Josh Wells not a good opening day for Blackers by the sounds of it 😬
Homer Coulton Deffo not 😬 no rush to visit, me thinks haha
