The Explorer Gate refurbishment is inching closer and closer to being finished every time we visit! Since our last visit to the park the area has been fully opened up with old buildings removed, fresh tarmac laid and we can finally see how big this entrance is.
Outside the entrance gates is a brand new ticket unit/shipping container. Over the next few weeks, we expect that this will be themed and fully opened. Meanwhile, inside the park, the relocated shop is still being worked on and isn't open to guests just yet. We did see lots of staff putting items inside the unit so it might not be long. The big green fences that used to line the way between the entrance and the consitrction site next door have also been removed giving us a birds eye view of the huge building site. But thats another news article.
A nice little touch is a photo point at the entrance of the park, if you look closely your notice the suitcase has stickers on it of rides from around the park.
