A year to refresh and reflect!
I am hoping that 2025 will have a bit of a refresh strategy. In terms of ride offering, the last three years has seen significant improvements. However there are signs that some areas need a bit of TLC. Jolly buccaneer and the area around it, Buffalo (can't spell the current name lol) needs improvements due to vandalism, spencer outdoor play closed (Wikipedia quoting moved to near James and the the red balloon area, no idea how accurate and can't be relied upon).
I am hoping to see Accelerator sorted out, and hopefully prep for a new ride where the flying dutchman is with that moving to Viking. Removal of the flying dutchman would be a tragedy in my view.
They have invested heavily and in 2024 had significant competition with new rides opening. 2025 is showing signs of marketing for the main season of improved events. My personal opinion is a significant cutback for half term, which I personally will not be attending as my seven year old is getting past Thomasland and looking at doing other non-theme park events. Saying that, last year the dinosaur event wasn't well attended so suspect it will be a cost saving to offer a simpler event that costs less to put on. The park will suffer significant increase in labour costs so may be taking this year to capitalise on the investments and the birthday celebrations. The Halloween and Christmas events were changed and need to be reviewed as they were significantly reduced from that previously. Hopefully they will use this year to refresh and reflect on the past and then a new attraction and lodges in 2026 in a similar way to Legoland in 2024.
Also hoping for improvements to the zoo and tidying up of the old play area and Dino trail has some TLC.
Both Pleasurewood Hills and WMSP Adventure park need significant investment given the aging of their rides. Therefore some competition for investment.
Looking forward to the main season
