In my experience, they close the single ride queue on Taron when it's extremely long. So it's basically a signal of 'you'll be waiting a very long time, best to come back later'.Nope. 100 minute wait, dispatching slowly and single rider line closed.
Quiet days and June are not something you’d see in the same sentence unless you added the words “there are no”.
This kinda goes for any European park tbh, it’s the best weather, and all the school trips to parks generally happen on the weekdays in June.
Most of my European trips have been around the last week of June / first week of July and, for the most part, have been fine. My first visit to Phantasialand in 2015 was a weekday at end of June, managed to do everything and get plenty of rerides too. Obviously the parks are livelier, but usually it's no problem for the parks.
Are they only running 3 or less trains? They only use the unload platform when running 4 trains. Taron had a lot of train problems these last days, probably because of the wheels melting again in the heat.
Is that a recent thing? I'm sure whenever I've visited and it's running 3 trains it uses the offload platform. It's only during hotel ERT I've seen them not use the offload platform?
Does sound like a bad day for Phantasialand. I've heard a couple of horror stories about their operations on busy days not really cutting it, but I've never experienced it myself. I do hope that in the mid-term reliability isn't an issue for Crazy Bats..
