Are you looking at Gate C? The access point would be way off the left of that picture.

Don’t think that is gate c. It’s miles to the right. I think it is SE corner entrance.

Looks like the sonic tent is still there - you can tell from the tent shape.

They've redesigned the tent, still called Sonic but a different shape supposedly.

Wait a second, that's where the Tor Lookout is? I've always seen that on the listings and thought it just putting the view from the actual Tor on the lineup for some reason.

Guess i'll have to find out what the hell it is now...

it's a viewing platform, which occasionally also has pyrotecnics displays. But not both at the same time.

It's just a tower with a lookout of the theatre and circus fields. It's nowt exciting tbh. Nice view though

When you see that, all things considered, it's amazing how well the site drained so we just had thick horrible mud rather than standing water.

Shame, that would have been fun.

This calls to the completionist in me, so will have to go up it. Does it suffer from the same endless queues as the park ribbon tower?

the stairs are tucked around the back, theres usually a steward stood there showing people how to get to the viewing platform.

When you see that and the pictures of the site as a lake the weekend before it puts in perspective how crazy the doom and gloom over this year's weather outlook is.

To anyone who thinks it'll be anywhere near similiar to 2016, look at the two videos recently posted and do a comparison yourself
