Another challenging day @altontowers.bsky.social dodging ride closures. Pleased with what we got done but my god I don’t I know another park with such downtime across so many rides. There are no signs of improvement yet.

R.I.P. Oktoberfest Towers
The best event they had and so many amazing memories from the last 5 years.
I’m even happier with my decision to cancel my Merlin Annual Pass.

Quickly popped back in as Pleasure Beach opened Big One right at the end. Excellent of them. Can’t beat a night time illuminations ride as the last ride of the season 🤩🤩

Pleasure Beach was a bit of a shit show today, but I still had an excellent day. Also managed to do more rides today than most my visits to Towers this year and we made zero effort.
