Pandemonium

[Ben R]

As pointed out on Towers Street, Pandemonium appears to be up for sale.

Double Hammer - AE130 - Interlink

Used rides - Amusement rides - Ride trading

www.interlink-lg.com

Vertigo is on that website too and it has been sold

I think they looked at Paultons Park image and know they got a winner with Peppa Pig world and build the park up from there with family rides up to 1.2m tall and the looping group really brought Drayton Manor for the Thomas land area and think they will continue to add new attractions and be good for a idea for meet and greets and maybe a indoor show up stairs by the shop.
Anyway they may see rides over 1.2m leaving the park as it’s not in the parks target audience. Think Shockwave future will depend on if the rapids ever do reopen.

I do agree with the last part of that and i doo think they need to get splash canyon open with some more enhanced safety measures such as tanois and doors on the rings

I think Flat rides unless they got a simple control system like the Bounty or Flying Dutchman do have a limited life in the parks as with it been 17 years old it’s had a lot of work done to it over the years. Submission at Alton Towers only lasted 12 years.

Wonder what’s wrong with it now or has it been sold?

 

[Ciaran]

The question you should be asking is what isn’t wrong with it? It’s a pile of junk that should be demolished.

I wonder if the park is testing to see what visitors think of the ride if they having trouble finding a buyer

I think if they ride it themselves they will have the answer ?

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

Look at the queue for this and they were only using the end 2 rows of each end

 

[Ben R]

So a new reel /TikTok was posted and i saw rhey liked adventure cove and thomas land but not pandemonium

 

[Theme Park Musician]

I mean I'm not a fan either but apparently someone from the park said they've tried to sell it for years now so I don't think I'm in the minority

 

[Wilko]

Nobody should be buying it, and if it’s been for sale for a while, clearly nobody is. I wonder if there will be a cut off for this and Apocalypse when the park will just accept they won’t be brought and scrap them?

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

pandemonium should be moved to the Safari park or Pleasure Wood hills.

I personally think it would be better suited being moved to the recycling centre to be turned into something of actual value.

 

[Theme Park Musician]

What would replace it though if it were to leave the park? Hopefully not another hb leisure thing!

 

[Themepark-newbie]

I see pandemonium is down for the second day in a row. I wonder how many times they will try to fix it before giving up and selling for scrap

 

[remlap]

I think SkyFlyer was a far superior ride and is still going today I believe.

It has updated now and seems to be back open today.

 

[Theme Park Musician]

It has updated now and seems to be back open today.

It'll be down again before u know it

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

I doubt many will not miss this attraction then.
