Midlothian Snowsports Centre, Hillend

Really great Alpine coaster - uplift time isn't too long and it's a very comfortable ride on the way down, even when you're light on the brakes. We paid for 3 rides each, which I would recommend as you're just figuring things out on the first run. The queue was long though, and doesn't go down very quickly. The queue system for multiple rides has to run at the same time as single rides, so only 3 or 4 from each queue can board at any one time. Throughput is slow, and while we were waiting there was an issue with a sled that had to be removed from the track. There was no communication from the team about how long things would be held up for, nor any reassureance that we'd get going again. On the staff - there are plenty of them, but didn't seem to be any uniforms, so it was hard to tell who the team members are. I'm sure they'll figure out the queues and speed up throughput, if possible. We'll definitely be back!
