Have a look at this clicky (http://www.towersalmanac.com/need_to_know/opening_dates.php)

I would assume it would be quite busy being half term and all. Just try to get fastpasses for the big rides and go to rita first because the queue probably won't go down on that much...have fun.

I went the thursday just before half term (yay study leave) and even then it was quite busy, so I would expect tomorrow to be busy and as trooper said if you wanna go on rita get to there first (im not sure if the skyrail will be running it wasnt when i went :( So it might take a while to get to but its worth it) When I went we didn't go on Rita cos my mates didn't want to que (boring i know) oh well i've been on it before. Oblivion didn't have too bad a que time so that should be ok, Air and Nemesis usually get pretty high but Rita is worst so head there first.

Hope you have a good time, its a great park :D

I went last week, tuesday 22nd. Most of the rides were closed at first due to technical difficulties but they gradually opened up and we managed to ride everything including twice on air and 4 times on Nemesis :noob::up:

The skyride is now back in operation (apparently). Took longer than I thought to recover from the fire.

It was apparently in operation on the day i went but it was closed all day, there were peeps doing some stuff on the rails all day, we saw them as we cut through to forbidden valley

They need new Skyride cars, a large investment, possibly, but they look a bit bad..

If they were actually working I wouldn't be too bothered but they are in pretty bad shape
