Yeah if they dump those go-karts they'd have the room... but other wise I can't see any place for a 5th coaster, unless you an squeeze one in the castle.

 I'm still hoping they make the castle a haunted one again. What are the chances?

In my case certain motions make me feel awful, so it could be something to do with that. I can happily sit on a kmg afterburner or Mondial topscan 10 times in a row and feel fine but after one ride on hydromax at pleasure island I nearly died. It's the same for me with those spinning wall rides, it's not so much the spinning but the feeling of the g force in combination with staring at a fixed point.

 

Does the park own the woods around the park? I could just imagine a woodie going into the woods and over the rail line.

Behind the houses that were built after the park opened there is a separate wired fence all the way round and along the public footpath which takes you out to the gunton hall footpath - there is a lot of land here and of course this continues into the old dinosaur park where it goes into a sep smaller stretch

Many years ago the area alongside the gunton hall archery field there was signage in the woods from pwh. I will have to try and go take some snaps. Such a lovely area. On the other side of the park by the go karts again a separate wired fence goes all around the perimeter of the park the woods there which run parallel with corton road are owned by the local nature reserve and I think Suffolk wildlife trust to which they have carried out extensive work over the last few years and continue to do so

Or a gravity group or RMC. Something on a smaller scale would easily be in reach in terms of the parks budget but even something like Wodan wouldn't be an impossibility because I assume a lot of the quoted cost was spent on themeing.

An idea to refresh SITG, as well as solve the wet weather / noise issues.

Dismantle the ride, dig a big hole, put the ride in the hole, put a roof on it (level with the ground). It doesn't necessarilly have to be a dark ride, you could have lighting effects and theming too.

In terms of roller coasters it's a little bit dull at present, it's perfect for younger riders and serves an important purpose in that respect. But making it a semi dark ride could make it something special and still suitable for youngsters.

Building around it would probaby cost more. It's a theme park so if you build around it it has to have a lot of theming. Just housing it in a big aluminium shed won't do the park justice. And that's a large building to theme.
