点评:My boys were booked onto the Aquaventure with another family for 1 hour. I came along to watch. On arrival told that to would have to pay £18:50 to bring my car in for an hour (no idea how anyone can attend without a car). I parked outside the venue to avoid this insane charge (it is listed as from £10 on the website). As I then walked back in I was stopped by the team to be told I now had to pay £5.50 to walk in. I clearly wasn't there to use any of the facilities purely to watch and they knew this as had literally just had that conversation. I queried this as was told "oh it's only a fiver or something". Clearly your staff are paid huge financial sums if this is such an insignificant amount. I queried it again (on the website it says pedestrian access from £3.50 - but presumably to use the beach etc.) I reluctantly paid, was then told I had to give my email, phone number, sign 6 insurance waivers etc etc. None of which were relevant but the chap on the gate was defending this need as if the world was about to end. When I made it to the viewing area - there were some plastic chairs with a side view of the inflatables and mainly of some reeds. This is extreme price-gouging. What a total dump of a business model and crap product.
翻译:我的两个儿子和另一户家庭一起预定了 Aquaventure 的水上乐园游玩项目,时长为1小时。我则陪同前往观看。到达后,工作人员告诉我必须支付18.50英镑才能把车开进园区停留1小时(真不明白不开车要怎么来这里)。为了避免支付这笔离谱的费用,我把车停在了园区外(网站上标注的停车费其实只要10英镑起)。可当我步行返回园区时,又被工作人员拦下,称我现在必须支付5.50英镑才能入园。显然,我去那里并非为了使用任何设施,只是去看看而已,而他们也知道这一点——我们刚刚还专门谈过这件事。我对此提出疑问,得到的答复却是:“哦,只要五英镑左右而已。”如果这笔费用真的如此微不足道,那你们的员工显然拿着相当丰厚的报酬啊。我又问了一次(网站上写着行人入场费从3.50英镑起——不过大概是指使用海滩等设施的费用吧)。我勉强付了钱,随后又被要求提供电子邮箱和电话号码。签名、签署保险豁免书等等。其实这些都毫无必要,但门口的那个人却极力坚称此举必不可少,仿佛世界就要末日降临一般。当我到达观赏区后,只看到几把塑料椅子,能侧面看到那些充气玩具,但主要看到的还是一些芦苇。这简直就是严重的哄抬物价行为。这种商业模式和产品质量真是糟糕透顶。
