Loopings looking to Expand?


According to the BBC Look East report yesterday:

Click here for video

It states that Looping are looking to buy 4 more UK parks after PWH had its first profitable year last season!!

So what do people here think they could buy?

Personally I think somewhere like Pleasure Island maybe be on the cards. smile

Then they will all have a hobs pit... lol
Id rather they spend the money on PHW and make one super park then buy several others and make a handful of alright ones. lol

there is still much more to do at pwh first ...we are still desperate for more decent adult flat rides or better..... and for the faults with all the current "thrill" rides fixed....

Yep, they shouldn't get carried away due to one good year... ok 2 years if we count this one.
As you say they really should get this one running properly first, also having too many in the uk means they're in competition with themselves and if PHW becomes a loss they'll sell it on and keep the better ones.

For a start, I doubt this is an immediate plan - more a long term one.

Equally, I don't see why people think PWH would lose any investment from this? The company already own about 10 attractions... It's not like Pleasurewood is the only park they sink money into.

Yeah I was just about to post this. It wouldn't take anything away from PWH. It's just the owners looking to expand.

If they buy more, in better locations and they are more of a people puller you know they'll drop PHW... thinking the worse.
Or they'll bring it to a certain standard and that will be it.....

But then if they buy another and keep both park unique it might work, they could swap ride very so often I guess.

I doubt they would want another park that's in competition with PHW.. it would probably be something on the other side of the county.. lol

Nothing they could buy would be in competition with Pleasurewood - there isn't another theme park nearby so I don't see the issue to be honest.

Remember they may buy other attractions that are not theme parks, they own many non theme park attractions in Europe.

Yeah they also own Water parks and Aquariums.

I can see where Bubbles is coming from (for the first time...lol), if they get some other parks, and they are more successful than PWH, then they may loose interest in PWH, just like CdA did.

Well as long as PWH continues as they are going with this year being the best I have seen for a long time then it would be upsetting to let it all get undone. I hope that PWH could become the flagship park for the group if they did expand more into the UK.
