Hi I'm brining the kids Friday. Can anyone tell me what the queues have been like this week? In particular for The Wave. Many thanks :)

On Sunday the Wave was around a 45-60 minute wait most of the day with most rides being on about 30 minutes. Pretty much every had a queue including the carousel which had a queue outside it's entrance!!!
 
We were there yesterday, our first trip of the year, and it was busy. Not as busy as the day of the extra bank holiday for the Queen's jubilee, but we only managed four rides all day. We queued for 45/50 minutes for the River Rapids, and by the time we were near the front, they were making announcements to say those joining the back of the queue now had a 95 minute wait! Even Blasting Barrels was queuing out of the door.
 
I'm curious what's gonna happen when the Algae on the lake arrives towards the end of June?

How will this affect the Fountain?

My guess is it's going to completely ruin it? Will it not get clogged up? Have they considered this?

I assume the fountain works by sucking up water from the lake and then it disperses the water via the jets. What if it sucks up that nasty green stuff and sprays it over everyone! That wont look good!

:oops:
 
Im sure Crystal (the team who provide the fountains) and Drayton will have this considered already.
I don't know the specifics on how the system works but it feels like something they'd have awareness on

They were fine last season
 
Has there been any hints towards new rides coming to Drayton yet like markings, this season feels like the park is a bit stuck at the moment nothing new and exciting on the horizon
 
Victoria Lynn may have had a promotion. She is listed as managing director of Looping group, so is she now over the three UK parks? Further down does still say she is MD of the Manor. Just an assumption maybe

It’s been listed as Managing Director - The Looping Group for a good while on her Linkedin… I doubt she’s actually moved up in the company but you never know!
 
Interesting things on park today. “Important people” (you can spot them because they carry a litter picker but no bags to put rubbish in.. token gesture.. anyway) were walking around taking notes in various places. Two areas I noted was directly outside the queue entrance to accelerator and the grass behind the makeshift wall by the vikings shop.

Coincidentally.. why is the Viking shop shrunk and the back two toilets out of order by the vikings entrance?

The idea of these litter pickers is to pick litter up and put it in the nearest bin :)
