Never been a fan of drop towers personally so the news doesn't sadden me.
I find them a bit boring to be honest. :P
I'm sure the current one does the job.

I've always wondered if theses rides are bought or rented? I would guess a rental isn't worth making ''permanent" for obvious reasons. (unless it's planned for at least 5 years or more)

I know. To be fair, expected after how the park has been treated for the past decade or so. We also had the weather against us don't forget. It's based on the financial year. Expect it to be much better this year. If not, I'll let you hold me personally accountable. ;)

There were 5 new attracions last year, so that really is quite poor. (though the marketing of said new rides wasn't great...)

5 new attractions - even 9, won't make up for bad experiences nor neglect. Going back to basics and looking after the little things...eventually will.

Yeah, I totally agree.

Here's a question I hope you can answer.... Are there still plans to bring in a 200ft (permanent/park model) drop tower, like the one they got planning permission for?

Have you ever considered an 'enclosed' ride for PWH like 'Crush's Coaster' at Walt Disney Studios Park

The current 5 year plan doesn't have any for an enclosed ride like Crush's Coaster. At present.

Ben, If you were not working in the theme park industry, and you visited PWH and paid the £19 admission price, Do you feel that you would get your money's worth or would you be put off, or would you feel overcharged?

Do we have any more thrill rides in the pipeline? As I feel us teens the park doesn't "have it" anymore... As someone on here said, we're the ones that have the money lol!

Do PWH plan on repairing/replacing all the fences in the park?

Ben, what do you mean by "we now have bigger plan" in reference to the larger drop tower?

You're not getting a bigger drop - Don't get excited! Hahah! Although there are some new plans being thrown around for something different...

Are there any plans to introduce any other 'perks' to the season pass? Ie. discounts on food or gifts?

That's quite disappointing really. So many UK parks would give anything to get planning permission for a 200ft ride, yet PWH have it, and they're not making use of it. Getting the UK's tallest drop tower would do wonders for marketing material, plus a permanent drop tower would look so much better than the current portable tower.

I agree but it's done now and if this one can be made permanent then I would accept it and look forward to the new plans...

My vision would be to...the repsonse to a free go in Laser Labryth has been very popular. I'm introducing a new design to the season tickets every year, to make them collectable. People with the old ones this year, can recieve a new one on their next visit.

Sneak Peek of the design - Should be with us within a fortnight. :)

I think all rides at the park currently are owned by the park.
