5. Visitors’ voice
•Waiting hours to enter to many exhibitions
(Aquarium, Spain, Aragon, Germany, Japan) and a half-way solution: The fast-pass >
•Excessive prices (lockers-5e, parking-12e, expensive food and water)
•Weak contents in some pavilions or too much touristic promotion
•Inescapable high Temperatures.
Not much to do, but it inevitably amplifies visitors’ discontent. > more fountains.
•Lack of organization and improvisation on the first days of the eventSlow service in bars and shortage of supplies. Long wait.
Night-pass big limitations in terms of open visits.
Loud sound of the 6+2 stages affecting locals and other shows
Deficient accessibility for elderly and younger children in carts.
