Blanket Closing Policy?


I have heard somewhere that Pleasurewood Hills has a blanket ride close policy - meaning that at the park closing time, everyone gets sent out of the queue regardless of how long they have been waiting.

I am planning a visit to the park this year, so can anyone confirm whether this is the case at the park?

(Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place).

I'm not sure this is the case - though the park have closed ride queues before the park's closing time.

Queues for rides at Pleasurewood rarely get long enough for them to worry about it too much though. If the park's busy though you may find a queue has closed early to allow people to ride.

I've not heard of it before either tbh.

I remember that the Magic Mouse queue used to close about 30mins before the official park closing.

I would imagine that the Hobs Pit queueline will close earlier than the park, so just make sure you get it on it earlier in the day.

Yeah, don't they just close the queue line at least half an hour early depending on demand?

Hob's makes sense as its a slow throughput machine. Ride ops would be there all night otherwise!

Thanks, I don't agree with closing queues early at all but it's better than turning people in the queue away I suppose. Should I expect queues to close around 30 mins before the park, or even earlier?

I think you're worrying about nothing Jamie. You'll easily be able to do everything multiple times throughout the day. Just don't leave Hops Pit until last and you'll be fine.

 Ah okay thanks, I've never been before and am visiting in May Whitsun so it's likely to be busy, but I'll bear that in mind. :)

 Thanks, yes I've heard that it only runs one train (with 8 seats!)  Thinking about going to Hobs Pit after that as I've heard that it only has three cars as well!

Hobs doesn't tend to open until Midday, so after Enigma go where ever.
