“THE SW8 IS OVER!” Alton Towers, Sat 17 March

[HeartlineCoaster]

if anybody knows where the 2 for 1's are to be found it'll be appreciated

Coco Shreddies and Carex handwash.
Handwash claims bring the entire empty bottle, not just the label, which amuses me.

[Smithy]

Oh god I ****ing love Seabrooks crisps too.

Cheers guys, will have a look later.

 

[Sandman]

^ Canadian Ham is where it's at

 

[Karen]

Well if they are honouring this, passholders can get on Wickerman at 9.30.....

 

[Ian]

Getting exciting now. I keep catching myself humming the Hall of the Mountain King.

 

[Karen]

Need to get the winter thermals out! Gonna be a cold one. Soooo excited

 

[Smithy]

It better not snow...

 

[NeoXIII]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but will a wooden rollercoaster operate in cold conditions?
I remember not being able to ride Colossos in Heide Park until the temperature was above 10°C on that day.
And this is Merlin we're talking about...

 

[Smithy]

Don't you dare.

 

[davidm]

It was running last week when it was 7 degrees....

....forecast for Saturday is 2 though.

 

[NeoXIII]

Don't you dare.

Hey, I don't like being Devil's Advocate myself here either, but Merlin always likes to throw curve balls like these because reasons.

Since its 'on fire' - maybe it'll be nice n warm lol! ----- toasty!

Suppose I should have seen this coming after I put my winter coat away yesterday! The rest of the weekend doesn't look much sunnier.
Even Merlin won't take the decision to close due to weather lightly - it's been a hard enough job for them to make people like this ride as it is.
Anyone know the minimum temperatures Wodan, J&D or Troy will operate in and work it out from there - all three parks have a Winter season of some kind

 

[Smithy]

And to be fair after the Smiler debacle on opening day where they gave everyone free tickets, I imagine they'd have to do similar anyway.

 

[Jared]

I’ve personally ridden Joris after the crews hammered ice and snow off the tracks, so I’m sure it shouldn’t be an issue!

 

[caffeine_demon]

Joris wasn't open when the beast was in it's prime!! (although they did get baron open later on!

 

[Karen]

Booked my taxis for Saturday. £17 each way gotta love a bit of web searching!

If anyone is after a cheap taxi from Uttoxeter train station.

 

[SilverArrow]

Forecast now saying 0. There's actually quite a considerable chance that it doesn't open isn't there? Hmm. Still got a day and a bit to go so it could change.

 

[Karen]

Brrrrrrrrr! AND SNOW!

Well it won't be the first cflive I've been to with snow
