    Just got tickets back for may.

    Sent off for them by firstclass post the day before the promo ended.

    They should be sending them out in date order i reckon.

    This was at my misters Dads house so hope mine are waiting at home when i get there.

    ironically wed is my only guaranteed day off every week and thats the date the ttivket is for.

    You don't have to pay for parking if you go on a motorbike... Only 'cos you can go round the side of the barrier! Before I get accused of being a very bad person, we were advised to do that by one of the parking attendants.

    My advice would be to use up a day of your holiday and take the kids out of school to go mid-week in May. So worth it! No queueing at all so you get time to go on all the rides a few times. Brilliant! I've been in the school holidays before and would never do it again, it's awful, all you do is wait in line all day. Great excuse for skiving a day off work :-)

    We used to do that before we got annual passes - husband would take a day off work, it's still really quiet on the odd days when the children have a random staff training day. You can just walk onto the rides, no queues.
