I think the park are selling the Evolution ride, I did see a Evolution ride for sale and it had a picture of the one at Yarmouth so I presume its that one. Maybe there selling it to get some money to put towards a new ride??

Weren't there something like 5 of their rides for sale last year?

It's certainly ringing a bell.

Evolution, snake slides, go karts, Waltzer...?

had a drive past today a lot of the rollercoaster rear boards have been removed and lots of scaffolding up and you can see new wood going in- when I say rear the back piece opp the waltzer. Nothing else to report, all as it was when the season closed in 2014 except for a very clean area where the disko was.

Wow, that is extensive!

It would be good to see it have all the panels removed, for say one season.

Well going by what Hacks said before, there could be another big wheel. Whatever they are, I hope they're included in the wristband price.

Just remembered, 2015 is supposedly the year that the Log Flume is removed to make for that new indoor entertainment centre....

It was mentioned in the article about the Edge development, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt ;)

I have just been searching through the web and found the parks, Go Kart track, Slides and the Drag Car rides all for sale! I wonder if this is being used to fund the 2 new rides for 2015

The exciting Drop-n-Twist Tower for young thrill-seekers will be operational from the season opening on Saturday, March 28 and the second new ride will arrive in June"
Southend are also getting one of these. SBF drop tower

They have only announced one of the rides that they are getting which is the Drop-n-Twist tower the other ride is going to be announced at a later date. However like Hacks said the new Adventure Island Inside at Southend are getting one of these small drop towers new for 2015.

It's nice that it's going to be s brand new ride. Being PB I assume they will just install it as it is in Fairground form. Looks quite neat in fairness.

Yeah it's good to see them buy new again. They got a double the last time they bought new fr Zamperla (Disk'O and Sky Drop).

A kids drop tower seems an odd choice for GYPB though. I dunno, I guess they could do with more kids rides maybe?

I guess they're trying to get more kids into the park.

GYPB have confirmed on Facebook that the 'Multi Slides' have been removed. I guess they're the snake slides?

And also the London Bus has been removed. And I can safely say that I've never even seen that before!lol
