Child, that just doesn't make sense.
I'm sure it's probably a special reduced rate for that ride only, for that weekend only.
Not that that will be the only ride operating.
Use a little common sense.

well it does make sence since this weekend there is the airshow so they need to compete with that and of course the booster should be there soon so they will need the space.

Disappointing if it is only around for the weekend, would be a real draw if it was there for the season.

thats a shame its only round for the weekend abit of a waste of time to stick it up just for the weekend though don't you think, does anyone know whether it will be back during the season as i really wanted to ride it as hav e only ever been on vortex and thorpe park and wanted to try this one because i hear this one is faster, but never mind maybe next time
