I got my first Merlin pass (Silver) this year because of all the new creds at Merlin parks (including Mandrill that I didn't ride last year) and since I live close to Alton I should get a few visits there during the year. I bought it during the sale in November and went for the membership option...
Shocked I've never posted in this thread, given I have lived within 30 minutes of the park almost my entire life. I think I must have posted in a similar thread sometime in the past. Anyway....
Nemesis
Rita
Wicker Man
Thirteen
Smiler
Galactica
Oblivion
Runaway Mine Train
Octonauts
Spinball...
You don't really need to book in my experience, though I've never been in August so it may be busier then. I first went on a Scarefest weekend though and was done in less than an hour. Also went on a sunny day in July once when the park was rammed, but there was no wait at the restaurant.
Had my first visit for the season yesterday and managed to get 3 rides. As already mentioned, Nemmy didn't open until around 1pm and the park was a lot busier than you'd expect for a Tuesday early season, so the queue began at 45 mins before dropping down to 20ish on average from 2pm onwards...
Just because the earliest date it could open is the 13th, it doesn't mean it will open then ;) I hope it does though because I have a trip booked for early May.
