However, the support Velocity Valley had received from domestic travellers meant the time was right to introduce the new ride before summer, she said. “Thankfully, with 70 percent <strong>of</strong> our normal patronage being domestic visitors, we have managed to buck the trend and mostly keep at that same level <strong>of</strong> customers following the lockdowns,” said Guptill.
