Did they open the zoo exit for cars ? I remember before they used to open the exit that drove through the zoo to hello clear the congestion to aid traffic flow when leaving on fireworks night.

No they didn’t and there was no staff or security around to help the traffic. The person who car broke down was just sat in there car.

Just found out the park is closed on Sunday for a private event. I know it'll be a cash cow for them but it irks that they don't limit stuff like this to weekdays. Obviously this is bit tongue in cheek if its a charity event or the like, but if its just a corporate buy out, not having it!

Any park or attraction can be bought out for a day at any point - if they are willing to pay the price It's a business at the end of the day and that's how business works.

Whilst it is unfortunate for guests who may have wished to visit on that day, the park have at least put information out to advise it is closed.
These kinds of buy out events happen at all the parks at any time - though most of the time are unnoticed due to being after the main season
(Alton Towers had one last Sunday and Thorpe has one coming up too )

Hopefully the weather is better then the guests at towers experienced!

Well it may be in the interests of all of us in the long run. Individual guest voices can be easily brished aside but if someone is buying out the park and most of the major attractions have significant downtime then there will be more forthright challenges made.

My misses use to work at Lidl and they hired Drayton Manor out for the day in September 2011 but we didn’t go as we were in Florida.
