Just come across this snipet of information on the CPB site about BPB trialling text Q.

From what I have seen it looks like they will be trialling it between 22nd-24th July.

The rides it is for are
- PMBO
- Infusion
- Valhalla
- Iceblast

You buy credits from the ticket office near the gold mine and text which ride you want to go on and get a time. No idea on prices for this at the moment and tbh I am not sure how it would work on PMBO as I just dont see a layout to allow this to happen.

The worrying thing about this for me is that it is even more of an incentive for BPB to run the rides at low capacity to get more money out of people.

I some to recall Drayton Manor did a trial of this either at the end of last season or the beginning of this one, they're all merging in to one. Not sure what the outcome of the trial was though.

Must work as Flamingo land has been doing this for the pass two seasons now seems a good idea tho. Not good if your bat dies half way trough the day tho Laughing
