Catering is an interesting one as half the restaurants were closed when I went (admittedly on a week day in school time). I can't envisage a second gate being popular, the park would be better off filling in the many blank spaces & buildings throughout the park in my opinion.

I would say 5-6 hours would be fine, you may want to invest in a fast pass depending on queues though. Not sure how busy it would be in October. I didn't see GCE down at all when I was there so can't really comment on that.

Oh Amanda...

*Holly Willoughby voice* Firstly, are you OK?... Because I'm not, I had to spend a day at Parque di Atracciones! Parque di Atracciones It's Friday and there I am thinking it shouldn't be too bad. Its term term and a week day, it will be an enjoyable day for a theme park, right? The journey...

Hola! Its been a while since I've posted a TR but felt I should do one for this trip. Transport was pretty straight forward, flew from Gatwick to Madrid (Madrid to Heathrow on the way home). I stayed in a cute hotel in the city centre. The metro and buses makes it easy to get pretty much...

The park are clearly having issues with the ride. Got on it on Tuesday and it broke down just after the restraints had been checked. We were offloaded and told it had broken down. The ride was then down for pretty much the rest of the day.

Rode this on Tuesday, will probably do a proper trip report later in the week. But... wow, this ride is absolutely amazing. The pre-show and queue create an immersive story and build up the suspense of boarding. The second launch into the top hat is super intense and the brake on top actually...

Lets finish this little report up with Kolmarden! Originally I wasn't going to do Kolmarden but basically talked myself into it, mainly for Wildfire! I had a bit of faff with tickets, I had originally booked tickets for Thursday and the forecast changed and was showing storms for Thursday. I...

Hej! So the other week I spent 5 days in Stockholm, with the main intention of doing Grona Lund and Kolmarden as well as seeing the city. This was my itinerary: Monday: Flight, sight seeing & Vasa museum Tuesday: Grona Lund, ABBA Museum Wednesday: Kolmarden Thursday: Museum day (Nobel Prize...

Great trip report, I've just got back from Stockholm. Thanks for the recommendation for Meatballs for the People, loved it there!

I'm definitely interested! I'd be getting the train (and then who knows what). If anyone else is doing the same, give me a shout and see what we can sort out.
