点评:We went to Alton Towers with the kids and spent most of the day in CBeebies Land. Everyone had an okay time, but honestly it could have been so much better. The whole of Cbeebies land just felt a bit tired and neglected.
The queues were the biggest problem:
- No shade or shelter in any of the queues — nowhere to escape sun or rain
- No way to leave the queue to take a child to the toilet and come back
- Interactive elements in the queues were all broken — every single one and I really mean every single one.
- Long waits made worse by bored kids with nothing to do
- No updates or compensation when rides broke down mid-queue (Octonauts did this to us and had to wait an extra 30 minutes at the front of the queue)
Some of the attractions felt very half-hearted. JoJo and Gran Gran’s house was meant to be interactive but what little was there barely worked. It's not much more than just a big empty room. Justin’s House had loads of broken air cannons and the general theming across the rides was really basic, especially considering how strong the CBeebies brands are.
Then at the end of the day, the monorail was running reduced service with a 40 minute wait right when everyone needed it most. Why?
It’s a shame because there’s clearly potential here, but it's like they haven't actually thought of what it's like to be here with young kids, and this was on a weekday in term time so goodness knows how awful it is during the holidays. Until they sort out the queues and fix what’s broken, it’s not something I’d rush back to.
翻译:我们带孩子们去了奥尔顿塔,在CBeebies乐园度过了一天的大部分时间。每个人都玩得还行,但说实话,本来可以更好。整个CBeebies乐园感觉有点陈旧,被忽视了。
排队是最大的问题:
- 所有排队区都没有阴凉处——无处可躲避日晒雨淋
- 无法离开排队区带孩子去厕所,然后再回来
- 排队区里的互动元素全都坏了——每一个,我是说每一个。
- 无聊的孩子无所事事,让漫长的等待更加糟糕
- 游乐设施在排队中途出现故障时,没有任何更新或补偿(比如海底小纵队就遇到过这种情况,我们不得不在队伍最前面多等了30分钟)。
有些游乐设施感觉很不尽人意。JoJo和Gran Gran的家本来打算是互动的,但那里的互动设施少得可怜,几乎没什么用。它只不过是一个空荡荡的大房间。 Justin’s House 里有很多坏掉的空气炮,而且游乐设施的整体主题也非常简陋,尤其是考虑到 CBeebies 品牌的强大影响力。
然后,到了一天结束的时候,单轨列车的班次减少了,在大家最需要的时候,竟然要等 40 分钟。为什么?
这很遗憾,因为这里显然有潜力,但他们似乎并没有真正考虑过带着小孩子来这里是什么感觉,而且这还是学期期间的工作日,所以天知道假期期间有多糟糕。在他们解决排队问题并修复故障之前,我不会急着再来这里。
