Twofold question for you. God did not create themeparks. There was no flash of light and suddenly the world was filled with rollercoastery loveliness, instead, the came from the death of seaside towns, and from pioneers like John Broome. Themeparks evolved, just like Darwin said they would.
What I am curious as to your opinion tho', is where you think the next 'big player' will come from - will we see the likes of Loudoun or Twin Lakes invest in innovative rides that catapult them into the big time, or possibly a big old player like Morecambe or the site of the American Adventure will come back from the dead? It doesn't even necessarily need to be a big player - maybe you know of a local attraction that is becoming too big to just be classed as a local attraction, that we will see bigger things from soon?
Similarly the future might come from a park with potential, such as Flamingoland or Lightwater Valley being bought by something like Merlin, or one of the big American players, gutted, and rebuilt bigger, better, faster and stronger?
Ore Maybe, will a UK park go the Disneland Paris way and split into two parks, one site?
Suggestions please.
