Does anyone know when Wicksteed park open their rides this year?

Their website is down since I have been looking the past few days. We are wanting to go the weekend of either the 19th or 26th March. Last year they opened their rides on 27th March, so we may be ok for the 26th.
I want to order my Tesco deals vouchers in time, but if they aren't open, will have to rethink our plans.
Does anyone have any idea please? I have promised the kids a day out while dh is away and we have been to Whipsnade zoo many times so don't particularly want to go there again, or Paradise, even though we love both places.

I'm bumping this. Phoned Wicksteed and they don't open until 6th April, so that is no good for us. The kids' other choice was Gulliver's Land, but, again it doesn't open until April.
They would really love to go to somewhere with rides, but I have looked on the Tesco days out site, and can't find anything that isn't too far away and that we can afford. I would have £50 worth of days out tokens and could maybe put max £20 to it. There will be 1 adult and 3 children if anyone has any suggestions please.

whereabouts are you? as that would help with distance

most small theme parks dont open until April, or if they do open a bit earlier its usually on a smaller scale. Chessington, Alton Towers, are all open from the last week of march

Thanks. We are in Luton. I think the theme parks are no go. Either they aren't open in March, or much too expensive. I can't afford £25-30 each for tickets!
Looks like it may be London Zoo for a change. We have been lucky enough to go to Whipsnade quite a few times, and Paradise (Tesco I love you!). It has to be somewhere that I can use my vouchers.
