February tends to be a very busy month for the park teams as they prepare for the new season. They are constantly striving to provide you with the best experience they possibly can.
It's hard work and many of the jobs you may not even notice. Some require big investments of time and money. Here's a quick round-up of how park teams have prepared for the new season.

From 1 April you'll also be able to buy alcohol, so you can pick up a nice chilled beer or rosé when you arrive!
