I went today also. I did take my camera, but tbh there is not much in addition to the pics they post on Twitter etc, so i didn't take any.

Anyhow random remarks:

-Thunderstruck seemed to be running better, possibily slightly faster than i remember....

-Sky Hooks closed ( fence part painted )

-Fireball safety sign still reads 'Wizzy Dizzy'

-Timber Falls has saftey messages playing while you queue up - this strangly adds to atmosphere and feel more 'theme parkish'

however IMO the most significant development:

-Wipeout running with FULLY LOADED TRAINS.

Woah! That is great news about Wipeout, tell me is it still manual restraint release? I like the look of the repainted Parrot building, it looks really fresh.

WOW, full trains on Wipeout.... could be something to do with that restriction they applied to be lifted? Anyway, fantastic news!

And my god, just how old is that Parrot Show sign?lol I dont think any park in history has ever let a signed get SO bleached by the sun! They had better something about it I tell ya!

I did take my camera, but tbh there is not much in addition to the pics they post on Twitter etc, so i didn't take any.

omg. You kidding right? I'm still waiting for pics of the new play area, the rides opposite Wipeout, Timber Falls, new train station....!Grr!

Fireball safety sign still reads 'Wizzy Dizzy'

Did the entrance sign still read Whizzy Dizzy? You know, them green signs that they made for every ride when the names first changed.

There wasn't the last time I checked on the website. Why you ask? I dont really see the need for a new one, yet...

So what has actually happened to the strange Veteran Car ride?

And was the Carousel open?

Forgot to mention there is now one of those human drier things next to the log flume.

The only ride opp. Wipeout is the Woodycopters and the old wooden play area (maybe thats the one you mean!?)

Yes that was what I was on about. Good to see they kept that play area, though they really need a family ride like the Carousel or Waveswinger to sit opposite Wipeout.

The new train station is simply some wood on the floor.

Where is it? I imagine its down by the left side of the Castle? So the train now loops around the Castle?

^ Oh right, I thought it was re-routed to keep out of the woods?

So where does it then go from the new 'station'?

That's a shame, could be why they have suspended the idea for now. Hopefully, it means that greater plans are afoot.

Andy, Pleasurewood have said on their Facebook that Wipeout is still running with empty seats.... o.0

Sometimes the seats can look occupied when the train is in motion but it is a shame that it is at full capacity :(

^ They've reponded on FB, so you weren't seeing things, kind of. They were filled with teddies apparently!

But, is it going to be sorted soon:

We've tracked down the answer for you.
It's because of a camera problem. The seats, that are filled with the cuddly toys, aren't aligned properly to the camera and people that wanted pictures weren't getting high quality pictures so we had to put the carriage out of use. Technicians are coming some time next week to try and solve the problem so we can start opening the full cart. Hope this answers your question.

Finally they are sorting out a lot of the small things. Running Wipeout at full capacity will be great. And that is quite amusing that they have teddies in the seats!
