The park have confirmend on there official website that today the Big One is closed due to maintenance.

There is no confirmation from the park regarding the “first riders competition” that was held on there social media.
And the rest
I won’t be there till a week tomorrow. The weather is forecast to be more Spring like next weekend.
Closed for maintenance they have had months to maintain it
Mands was on twitter an hour ago with her half arsed apology. That’s fine I suppose now they’ve introduced the option to amend your booking for another day. We’ve bought season passes for the last 6 years, last year’s £30 jump for the early birds was a shock but I’m not feeling were getting any better value for them.
