English Heritage: Stone Henge walking from the Visitor Centre

A gentle walk from the Visitor Centre to Stonehenge. Stonehenge is perhaps the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. It was built in several stages: the first monument was an early henge monument, built about 5,000 years ago, and the unique stone circle was erected in the late Neolithic period about 2500 BC. In the early Bronze Age many burial mounds were built nearby. Today, together with ...

Yikes, won't know what to do with ourselves next year......... quite accustomed to walking mile after mile after mile recently
@@RALLYxREP at least it will help keep queues reasonable at the other open attractions too we hope. Thanks for your comment.
was there just the one car on?
@@Entertainment-RL There were two cars, the other one is briefly in my other video titled Alton Towers: Christmas, it's momentarily there if you watch and look for it if interested enough. Definitely not a full run, definitely a very limited trial as they turned the whole system back off again just as we finished watching the Christmas show, very noticeable as it's quite loud humming away you can hear in the lulls between themed audio. Thanks for your comment.
Great news

Only took about 25 years while pleasure beach resort has had the express continually running
@@SJPERCY74 to be fair Pleasure Beach does have generally better up time of every attraction compared with Merlin on the whole as a group and they do not unfairly discriminate against the disabled unlike Merlin. Thanks for your comment.
@@MagicalAttractionDays all people are welcome at pleasure beach regardless of race disability or sexual orientation. I'll happily help out anyone when I'm there 👍
Good to finally see the skyride working again
@Coaster-Madness Much missed universally amongst park goers in our opinion. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
About time
We think so too, much missed universally amongst park goers in our opinion. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Alton before capping meant we wasted days. We rode 2 rides alllllll day over 3 days because rap queyes were all 2 to 3hrs at alton makin it inaccessible. This year most rap queues were 10 minutes. The questions they asked were how do you find thr stsyem would u like this or that. Speakin as someone who cares for asd n adhd child along side medical conditions the new systen makes her day better. Merlin are adjusting the system emails sent today. Pre book will stay. Yes we got to rock up previously and be let dwn by inaccessible queues

For me they crossed the line by limiting how many times we can go on rides

were you by yourself?

The entire system, in my truthful opinion, needs an entire redo. Merlin/Nimbus has allowed far too many people RAP cards that simply DO NOT NEED IT. Sounds harsh but I'd be totally okay with them forcing everyone to re-apply so they can take out the selfish lot that see the pass as nothing more than a "free fast-track".
@@PixelTheDragon that thought crossed my mind too as genuine people don't mind a bit of scrutiny. Thanks for your comment 🙂
I have witnessed it before when RAP sold out they go here you go you can buy Fastracks! that is what their goal is to up Fastrack Sales also.
@@CFCDanielS20Thanks for your comment, please see this video in relation to this ua-cam.com/video/KZqZlZhPEfE/v-deo.htmlsi=lFhwS65W0tpPQIVZ
@@MagicalAttractionDays I have seen that video already and good luck to you we need change. Since Prebooking has become involved I don't see many of my friends anymore at parks either because we are all restricted used to bump into many people I knew at parks even just for a quick chat at times. Normal GP with passes can do that but we can't
I support this i can never get rap prebook ever since it's been introduced around a year ago I've only been to a theme park once , I pay for the merlin annual pass to be able to visit the park at last min whenever i want but now that you quite often have to pre book rap months in advance and can't just turn up at the park anymore it makes the whole point of paying for a merlin annual pass pointless as you can't just turn up whenever you fancy a day out anymore , it's really not fair and I used to visit theme parks very often because of this I hardly ever am able to go to theme parks anymore as I can't obtain a rap pre book last minute
I know it's not ideal, but if you can't get a prebook you can join a waitlist at Admissions or Guest Services. Every day at around noon they go through a list of cancelled and unused pre-books, and you'll receive a text telling you to go to guest services if one is available for you.
@@matthewrobertson95good suggestion but that doesn't work for me as by midday I am out of energy and cannot manage a full day. Please see this video for more on this ua-cam.com/video/KZqZlZhPEfE/v-deo.htmlsi=6SDNI9_aQR3AxkIt
they changed the system in march this year. and its been terrible because i cant get any bookings because they are always booked out
@@mrollieboi9675Please see this video too in relation to what I have said here ua-cam.com/video/KZqZlZhPEfE/v-deo.htmlsi=6SDNI9_aQR3AxkIt
I understand it is a disgraceful way that Alton Towers limit the amount of disabled guests per day however the way Alton Towers allow 4 people on the RAP Isn't a negative at all. I have the RAP Pass myself and I want to ride with my friends not ride by myself then wait on a bench for the others to get out there hour + queue. You have good points but might need to consider other peoples experiences that are much different since they are with there mates while you go round by yourself 👍
@@JoeBush-qj9gz I get it, I have been in groups myself, however this goes back to the fact that it's not up to me anyway, it's up to them and this is why they need to consult properly because I admit I don't know everything, however I do know the current system is not working for the majority of users in it's current form besides the fact it's breaking the law. Please see this where I explain more ua-cam.com/video/KZqZlZhPEfE/v-deo.htmlsi=6SDNI9_aQR3AxkIt
@@MagicalAttractionDays I hope the case goes your way because people with RAP should be allowed to visit a Theme Park like the general Public any day they wish. Another thing to add to your case is the fact RAP users are restricted to 1 ride on Hyperia.
My son is entitled to the RAP and I am his carer. My other son comes with us and uses the RAP alongside but with what your saying he would have to queue alone and be seperated from us all day in the park. Hes a teen but as a family outing we prefer to stick together. His dad doesnt do rides so literally just walks around waiting for us or looking after bags. It is frustrating that the RAPs are booked up in advance and we've had this recently where we've had to change plans due to the date we wanted wasnt available but I think 4 is an ideal number and Merlin do give the option to choose upto 4 so its not always going to be the 4 per user that is used. We're not annual members or anything and a theme park outing is once, maybe twice a year for us. It's nice that we can stay as a family and enjoy our day out together with less stress.
Thanks for your comment. Please see this video where I explain where I am coming from a little better ua-cam.com/video/KZqZlZhPEfE/v-deo.htmlsi=AZrFkk4uK2nxWmrx
I struggled to get this pass when I went last year as I don't get PIP or have a blue badge. I showed my access card, which has a queue symbol on it & they refused it. I showed my letters I got from the autism team & they accepted it despite me using the same evidence to get the access card. I explained to them that the whole idea of the access card is to minimise carrying paper work & to show that I have a disability
I’m a wheelchair user and have 5 children. All my children are registered young carers. The 2 older ones always take in turns who stays off so we stick to the disabled plus 3. I struggle to get RAP as its is but least I can do the odd one a year. If you get it changed to disabled +1 I wouldn’t be able to access a family day out at all! We would always be in different ques and that’s stressful! Xx
Thanks for your comment. Please see this video where I explain where I am coming from a little better ua-cam.com/video/KZqZlZhPEfE/v-deo.htmlsi=AZrFkk4uK2nxWmrx
Like the video as normal. One thing am confused with. I understand the not being able to book the days you won’t to on rap. Thing am struggling with is the number of people in a rap party I understand you won’t the rap user to have only one person accompany them on the ride and all other people in that group queue in normal que or fast track. My situation is me my partner and 2 kids under 11 travel from Edinburgh for 3 days and stay over because it’s a 6 hour drive there. My partner has cancer and we won’t to have some good times right now. What you’re suggesting would turn our trip in to a nightmare as my partner needs to have someone over 17 with her on every ride to add her with is mandatory with rap so that would be me as kids not old enough, so what your defeating is I go on with the missis and send 2 young kids to que on there own in a big Que or fork out even moor money for them agin to Que on there own in fast track witch is a diff Que for most rides. Or we pay fast track for everything that would cost way too much and wouldn’t bother as it costs us over £1500 to visit the park for 2 days, 4 platinum fast tracks over 2 days is quite a lot of money we could not afford and not many other people could afford. Rap needs an over look am not saying it don’t cutting the amount of riders on a pass should not move as a family of 4 need that to experience a good day. A family of 4 isn’t a bad number it’s average for a family.
@@bluexvxrc6827 thanks for your comment. I understand what you are saying and this is where Merlin needs to reconsult and in the meantime role back the rules. They should make it +1 maybe with a degree of latitude for genuine cases like you, sorry to hear, but one of the things I have seen is like the example I have used in my meeting with Merlin that a family of five had three rap passes and thought it ok for seven to join them to use all availability in the slots, and it's that kind of thing I am trying to draw to their attention. When they told me the percentage of people booking and not turning up was shocking too, but I cannot disclose that. Basically it's not fair or lawful how it's working and none of us are winning in this. I will point out that they read the comments, therefore rest assured your situation has been noted. Long story short they should uncap the numbers as many people after COVID stayed in country and now they are all going elsewhere and this was a partial cause of rap being over subscribed. I hope they come to their senses because I have to decide at which point I get the media involved in covering a story on my claim.
So you don't need to be accompanied if you are a yellow RAP user. You can email the accessibility support. And you can request to be put from red to yellow. Yellow means you can ride rides by yourself. Red means they dont. But if they don't need help evacuating from ride and would be able to unassisted then you can get yellow RAP
@@jimjom524 This is true and good information you share for others that might read this, however the issue blocking access is not red or yellow allocations, but when you book, it provides the ability to book up to three additional riders regardless of whether you are yellow or red and quite a majority of people are maxing out this allocation to bring their friends or extended family who are using it as a fast track for the family, but each unnecessary place takes one place away from someone with a disability and this is not lawful and Merlin are aware.
@@MagicalAttractionDays so you think by them lowering the group size for rap they would let more than one group from rap line in per when they let rap line in if group size was lowered as they only let one disabled group in at a time. I dont see the point splitting families up and other reasons. It is what it is go on weekdays
@@jimjom524 you seem very assuming that it would be ok to take my disabled daughter out of school, it's not about me. Merlin have done this wrong, see this video ua-cam.com/video/KZqZlZhPEfE/v-deo.htmlsi=lFhwS65W0tpPQIVZ
Visited on a good few quiet days, particularly early in the season, but that looked like there was nobody else there at all!
the smiler is fun but also quite rough ride.
@@billyjesus5442 yes it's getting rough in places, one of my favourite rides.
Yes it's not aging well
Thank you. 👍🏻. I don’t remember ever seeing a land train either. Nice to see a longer video well worth the watch. Last time I seen the trommal working in the haunted house was in 1994 on a school trip 😂. A can’t believe there giving out photo copy rap pass, when we went the missis kept them in her back pocket, wasn’t to bad after rubber dingy rapids lol but when she got of battle gallons the rap was sodden at that point a can’t imagine a bit a paper is going to hold up well. The thing you mention about family’s and being intitled was interesting as we was in the que for run away Train and a lady in front of us with one rap pass got 3 groups of 8 on in one go with one pass, I didn’t think that was a thing or was staff turning a blind eye. Was crazy to see half the train fill up just of this one group. I can only imagine the people Quinn on the other side was livid. Ha don’t worry about moaning it’s giving the honest truth and gives people a real idea what to expect. Did you go on oblivion ? It’s the only ride there I’ve not been on. Am scared to death of it. 😂.
@@bluexvxrc6827 I went on Oblivion towards the end. Becky my ride buddy for the day had her hands in the air going over the drop! What was shocking about the tree tops abuse of rap was that the user had a red rap and was placed in a different car to their carer, I didn't explain it properly but abuse of rap takes away any good will ride hosts have towards the rest of us. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good to see a new video up quick. Are you going to cover scare fest at all. Me and missis going down towards the end for a day. Already sorted rap out was a bit Easter to do this time. Was wondering if you had a look in nemesis shop ?, and was there any station resins in stock ? Was sold out last 2 times I’ve been 😢. See scare fest we wondering what time all the rides open and what rides close early and what rides are open latter in the dark. Can’t lie looking forward to nemesis scare maze. 👍🏻
I did not look in the nemesis bunker shop, but if I remember I'll be happy to have a look next time as I will be going again soon and will be there for scarefest. Also potentially coming up soon will be a video doing an experiment of going without RAP and using the Q Pass system for parent swap and going on the waiting list for RAP as this will allow us to attend at last minute by checking the weather before we go as when the rides are all available the main queues can be lower than what RAP queues were last year, however I realise this is not for everyone as it is not a wheelchair friendly way of doing things, this is only for ambulant disabled. Not sure about the scare mazes yet as I wanted to purchase the passholder package, but it seems you have to cram all the mazes in at the start of the evening in one go and you have a short amount of time to do it which is not disability or accessible friendly so I will play that one by ear and see how I feel. One point to note is that I understand RAP users will be able to use the accessible entrance to scare mazes with no rap booking, but I will check this closer to the time. Many thanks for following the channel, more content will be coming over the next couple of weeks.
@@MagicalAttractionDays would be amazing to see a little peak at the bunker next time you there thank you. The upcoming video you described will be interesting to watch as that’s new to me all together, missis don’t need wheelchair entrances she’s ok that way. The illness has left her weak no stamina it’s all the walking and standing around that takes it out of her. As much info on scarfest would be amazing as all the other videos are all carbon copy’s of them park worldwide lol. There is one thing I’ve never noticed on any other videos. Is the short cut through the gardens from forbidden valley to dark forest. We stayed away from the gardens in case we got lost. Am from darbyshire and went a few times on school trips but 1st time we got lost in the gardens, after that I’ve never been down the gardens lol.
Grate video. One question. Have you booked a rap pass in since the change in march. ? It seams now you can only book your rap pass in 7 days before you go to the park. Not 1 day before or after has to be the 7th day. We drove all the way from Edinburgh for 2 days at the park and the rap pas wasn’t easy. We payed for the 2 days way before we was going so it ment we had to wait weeks for that 7 day dead line hoping that we would be able to get a pass. Was a worry. We was also told on the phone when booking in first day rap pas that they had booked in our second day as well so wouldn’t have to phone in again the next day. Wrong ! Our second day was spent at customer services for 30 min trying to get to the bottom of the nightmare. Glad we recorded the call or a think we was screwed. The missis beat cancer but nearly didn’t beat the rap pass bull. Keep the videos coming very helpful planning future trips.
@@bluexvxrc6827 thanks for the kind comments. I am sorry to hear how bad this was for you. Rap currently is a bit of a free for all and it's constantly booked up on school holidays and weekends and unless booked well in advance nobody stands a chance. I visited again recently after many months and did a vlog, it's on the channel and it wasn't a good look for the park. I will do another vlog soon and see if things are any better. Merlin have got this so wrong and are unfairly discriminating against rap users when the problem with queues is down to operations management of the park. I hope they improve operations and I hope you get some stress free visits in the future.
@@MagicalAttractionDays I’ve binge watched the hole channel now mate. Look forward to the next vlog.
This was really helpful for an upcoming trip. Thanks 😊
These idiots really ruined the chance for passing trade by making access to the Pleasure Beach paid only. Nice to see they have provision for people with mobility issues however.
Is this top floor apartment? Do the doors in lounge area open out on to a balcony?
This is a top floor apartment. The doors in the lounge area open slightly, there is no balcony, its only on the ground floor apartments where they open on to the outside. ps sorry for late reply.
