Although the zoo does need work, I see it as something they will invest in sooner rather than later. With the animals they already have in there portfolio, they could cheaply introduce new enclosures and animals for the next investment, until they get to grips with the direction of the park...

They actually have a few animal only based attractions. They own 'Planete Sauvage' safari park and 'Zoo de la Fleche' Zoo! They also have two aquariums as they own 'Grand Aquarium de Saint-Malo' and 'Grand Aquarium de Touraine'. All of which they have operated for multiple years so I do think...

The fact that they had 15 locations (9 parks with rides) at 4.3 million and Drayton increased there attendance by almost 22% is significant! most of there Large parks are sat comfortably being local attraction parks that don't really have a large catchment area. They push along with minor...

Don't the Bryan family Live in houses built on park property as well? would be interesting to see if they still want to take the park down a more family with young kids route, or if they will now aim at more of an everyone market with retaining and adding to the thrill rides line up, now that...

I think it's worth looking at visitor numbers for the parks? I do think alot of looping's parks may only hit around the half a million mark on attendance figures. Where as Drayton manor is reported at still achiving just over a million, which potentially means it could get twice the investment...

Bring back the Pinfari Looper!!! ??? Has anyone Hurd anything else about the Mellor's and there connection too Drayton?

I do think that maybe the Bryan family still own the park but potentially have it under a lease with the mellors. If this is the case then mellors would be the ones responsible to add future investment. This would be interesting. Let's hope any future investment isn't just traveling rides. That...

Never got why Disney put Reverchon mice in, with all the cardboard cut out theming as well, looked super cheap. Although they do have those 'Intamin does a Pinfari extended looper' clones at Disneyland Paris and Tokyo DisneySea, though the theming on these look to be much better than primeval...

It's open, from the video it does look hardly any more than a Wakey warehouse with a fun fair attached and some caravans, but does look like it may have potential, let's hope! They do have a small petting zoo too, and a walkthrough that looks like it rips off monsters Inc!

You never know with innovation these days, it could happen!

I still wish they added a zero G roll into this too give it the edge on diamondback. In my opinion this and diamondback are too similar for the same park, the GP won't notice much of a difference. I think a looping Mack giga would have done well here instead of another B&M tall. It's like...

I don't know if there current castle is permanent or not, but its made out of shipping container's and plywood. Also its apparently a hotel! it literally is Poundland Disney at its best!

I honesty don't understand how Chessington is still so popular when they haven't invested much since dragons fury! also how they have gone 16 years without a coaster is unreal!!! same as Thorpe, there last coaster was in 2012, both these parks are meant too be 3rd and 4th attendance wise in the...

They may do in certain area's but they must be able to build quite taller than towers as apocalypse is 177 foot and shockwaves is 119 foot, to put that into perspective, the swarm at Thorpe park is only 127 foot which is a large coaster and something the GP will see as huge. I do think there...

Drayton Manor! whilst there doing well with the families and Thomas land, the park is so centrally located in England and with more thrill coasters, could be a major contender to Alton Towers. They have the land and the one thing they have over towers is they can build tall(er), and from a GP...

Icon cost the pleasure beach 16.25 Million pounds. RMC raptors are rumoured to cost around the range of 8 million dollars, which is about 6.3 million pounds. I think it could definitely be a potential option For the next coaster 4 maybe 5 years down the line as a smaller investment to Icon. Best...

Oakwood is owned by Aspro who also own Walygator Parc and some other parks and midway attractions, would they be willing too sell one of there top parks? How about Lightwater valley. After the accident last year, Livingstone leisure may want too sell Lightwater to protect the company and there...

Theming wise, I've always seen Drayton manor as more of an amusement park than a theme park (with individual themes on certain rides/Thomas land) so I don't think no theming was the issue. the ride was a prototype and a cheap gimmick, hate too say it that the pinfari looper they had previous was...

Found a new podcast from Southport's Sandgrounder radio, featuring Pleasureland's owner. In this he does talk about the future of Southport on a whole . He also talks about plans too build a highly themed adventure golf course, themed to Vikings, with village theming and food/beverage outlet. He...

Its definitely the coaster from Gulliver's, the coaster they removed because a wheel fell off, lets hope there is a bright future for the park, can see them doing an 'adventure inside' sort of adventure island style indoor play area with rides and an arcade plus hotel like down in Southend in Essex
