So disappointed with Alum Bay, The Needles
The Needles Landmark Attraction的点评
点评:We saved our last full day to go to Allum bay for all the attractions. On arrival there was a £7 car park charge yet better attractions like Blackgang Chine or Robin Hill provide FREE car parking!
We were so disappointed to find that the chairlift was closed for maintenance right in the middle of the main holiday season! We were told it would be open tomorrow and this was then mentioned on their Facebook page even though the workmen told us they had to send for a new part and the earliest it would be open is next Thursday ie in 3 days time but we were going home in 2 days time. Our grandsons were so upset. I went on their Facebook page to tell them the Chairlift would not be opening tomorrow but in 3 days time at best so that others could postpone their visits if they wanted to ride the iconic chairlift. But they did not do so. It seems they did not want to lose customers and would rather have them complain rather than lose lots of money! This is probably because the prices are exceptionally high in comparison to Blackgang Chine and Robin Hill!
There was no signs stating when the attractions or demonstrations closed. At 3.05pm we went to see the sweet shop demo only to be told the last demo for the day was at 3pm in the middle of the afternoon! Why stop so early when there were so many visitors around?! The management need to look at all times and make them more suited to customer needs!
Unfortunately we cannot recommend the attraction as it’s not value for money even though children would have enjoyed the chairlift and did enjoy the golf and glass making. We left most disappointed.
翻译:我们把最后一整天留出来,打算去阿勒姆湾游玩并体验那里的各项景点。到达后却发现要收取7英镑的停车费,而那些更不错的景点,比如布莱克冈奇尼和罗宾山,则提供免费停车服务!
令我们极为失望的是,正值度假旺季,那里的缆车却因维修而关闭了!我们原先被告知缆车明天就会开放,他们的Facebook页面上也确实这么写着。然而工人却告诉我们,他们需要订购新的零件,因此缆车最早也要下周四才能开放——也就是三天后,而我们两天后就要回家了。我们的孙子们伤心极了。于是我登录他们的Facebook页面,告知大家缆车明天不会开放,最早也要三天后才会开放,这样那些想乘坐这条标志性缆车的人就可以相应地推迟行程了。但他们并没有这么做。看来他们不想失去顾客,宁愿让顾客抱怨也不愿损失大量金钱!这很可能是因为与Blackgang Chine和Robin Hill相比,这里的物价实在高得离谱!
现场没有任何标识说明各项游乐项目或演示活动何时结束。下午3点05分,我们前去观看糖果制作演示,结果却被告知当天的最后一场演示早在下午3点就已经结束了!周围有这么多游客,为什么这么早就关门了呢?!管理层需要随时观察情况,让营业时间更符合顾客的需求!
很遗憾,我们无法推荐这个景点,因为它的性价比实在不高。虽然孩子们很喜欢乘坐缆车,也享受了打高尔夫和吹玻璃的活动,但我们还是非常失望地离开了。
