WTF Merlin?

[FarleyFlavors]

Can't quite understand why the Discovery Pass is being discussed here, it's a brilliant idea for those that do not want to visit at busier times, should be in the other thread.

Yeah, I'm not sure why this is being discussed here either! It's an ideal pass for me, at least.

You have some inside information?

No quite frankly new passes don't bother me too much was just jesting that you were moaning about passes then proceeded to talk about passes

Not moaning about the discussion of passes at all, just moaning that almost everything Merlin do, even a positive move for us, the customer, is often unfairly criticized here. (Hence this particular thread being chosen to discuss it.) Whilst maintaining some balance in that there could well be reason to moan about the new pass structure once the 2 replacements are released.

Has anyone seen the prices for the other passes yet? They're "interesting" to say the least

 

[GENEZY]

Merlin just went: yea let's retrack a random vekoma looper at a random park with absolutely no need for it. I mean it's cool and all but Shaman at gardaland didn't need a retracking.

This could be interesting, guess it's a good idea for social distancing:-

Technically the current RAP System is a 'Virtual Queue' so until I see anything physically I wouldn't get hope's up at all

Is it me or can pass holders still not advance book for Merlin parks?

I know there's (at least) another month to go, but it's still a little annoying...

It’s you...

I’m booked in for 6 days in April and May

Ah, cheers - didn't realise there was another separate site now

(Although, mine's an Alton Towers pass rather than a Merlin pass, which complicates things slightly)

Passholder Pre-book | Alton Towers Resort

Pre-booking your Passholder tickets is a simple 5 step process

OK, I'm a muppet and didn't look hard enough

Edit: Totally off topic, totally crap. Warning issued. Hixee

State of that.

Absolute pile of trash.

Sticking some photos of Derren Brown, David Walliams and Charlie Brooker on a dart board sounds like more fun.

 

[Will]

Your privacy, perhaps.
Your guest experience, not so much.
Is the H meant to look like that?

 

[JoshC.]

Maybe it's more because I didn't realistically expect anything else, but I quite like that

 

[CrashCoaster]

Can we accept Thorpe as being doomed as Merlin's cash cow?

 

[Smithy]

What even is that? A rebrand of an existing ride (I'm out of the loop).

Either way, it looks cheap as **** - like literally it looks like one of those pop-up halloween scare fests you find in a random field somewhere.

where is this in the park?

 

[JoshC.]

This is some sort of walk through experience, taking place where Walking Dead Living Nightmare (/Cabin in the Woods/The Passing/Hellgate/etc) used to be during Fright Nights (so next to where Slammer was and still stands)
