Merlin pass- latest 2nd jan 2011

Bazdaa

Hi,

Is anyone able to summarise or merely advise where is the best place to get the annual Merlin pass from as this is appears to be a moving target.

I am looking for 3 passes, 1 x adult, 1 x 4 year old and 1 x 11 year old. I would like the Premium pass so that I can go where I want (when) and also get the other benefits.

I think I may need to do this online as I cannot get to the venues in the week, but am available next weekend.

Thanks in Advance.

Sorry to be a grumbler. But, we purchased passes which expired Sept last year from the Sea Life centre for £50 each. These included parking and no restrictions for August at Lego land. We had a great time and really wanted to but again. But this year even with the discount they work out over £100 each as Merlin have put some rather nasty restrictions on parking etc.
We cant fit it in the budget !
Basically- I really dont think these are any special offers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Possibly the capital fm £80 are your best bet, you can upgrade to premium passes when you get your cards made up at a venue. That would be £110 each slightly cheaper than getting "family of 3" pass from Merlin themselves: http://www.merlinannualpass.co.uk/what_it_costs/prices.asp?css=1

Thanks Mum!!

Ideally I am looking for the £75 deal. Is this not possible by attending the venue in person?

If you want the premium passes it will cost you £102 each (£72 for the standard pass and £30 upgrade.)

This can be done up to & including next weekend at any Merlin attraction that is open. We got ours at Lego Discovery, Manchester last weekend, and went to York Dungeons this weekend and they were doing the passes.

BTW, everyone who wants a pass must attend - they will not allow you to buy one for anyone not present.

Also if it's just the free parking you wNt a premium pass for, only one person ness to upgrade everyone could stay on the STD pass

Thanks,

I actually am more interested in the unlimited unrestricted access. The parking is a bonus, therefore I think the premium is more suited to me.

Anyone know if this can be used at the new Legoland in Florida?

Hi does anyone know how the parking works? my Mum got the upgraded card but she is not always with us do you show your card or get a parking permit how are they going to do this Chessington is already a nightmare to get into with ques how are they going to collect money as well?

we havent got ours yet but want to go to Alton Towers trying to work out if its worth upgrading - if anyone has codes for staying managed to get a good one the other year.

also if anyone knows could my Mum use her Merlin pass to book us into the hotel do you need to show the merlin pass when you arrive?
