That went over 12 years ago now, they replaced the empty spot with a family coaster and in the leftover space a drop tower was built last year. (it's very good IMO)
I know american parks don't do this that much, but over here in the UK all attractions have family tickets for 2 over 48" and 2 under 48" OR 1 over 48" and 3 under 48" etc. with more combos can be added if wanted , maybe for around $39.99.
Also why not charge a spectator rate of around $5 for those that just want to watch the fun/sunbathe.

I agree, they are probably flying to Heathrow OR flying to Paris and taking another plane/alternate method of transport to the UK, then visiting to ride SAW for it's media and passholder day on March 13th.
They probably won't have KidTums as LEGOLAND & Chessington don't open until March 21st.
