The dive show should be back yes.

Interesting, was that officially confirmed?

While I think the Dive Show was a good idea - and by most accounts was extremely popular - it seems very odd to have a purpose built theatre at the park sitting totally unused. As I understand it, the "Meet and Greets" happened outside the building? 

My gut says that the decision was purely a cost saving measure. But, my hope is that the closure of the building was due to some sort of internal renovations. They did something similar with the main street shop, and we were eventually gifted with Hobs Pit! 

Be cool if the castle reopened as a ride and not a show.... :O

Didn't they revamp in the interior for when the Sean Alexander show started? (Jeez, that seems like an age away already!)

 I think it was perhaps painted yet many CBTV features are still very visible - I hope it does get some use this year

They should really be showing off MM and Hobs in these little adverts.

Could they fit a coaster inside the castle?

With some of the track coming out of the building then heading back in! Unfortunately I would imagine the floor would support such a structure as there is a basement which houses the LL. Neat idea though!

They should use the candy cabin for photo ops with the characters. And bring back the big chair!

Yeah they could use the Cabin for photos, nice idea.

Wow !!! Fantastic park footage from around the park and from the air using a drone. The park looked great,marble madness featured heavy and a few interviews. It was all in aid of the football derby this weekend. Itv Anglia broadcast this footage just now on the main evening programme. Could clearly see the former platform supports on the ground too.

So to cover a football story they filmed and interviewed a theme park and it's staff?
Most weird concept I have ever seen, lol but this is ITV I guess.

I hate football, yes I'm a snob but I don't care. :P

Yeh no idea how to put the footage up yet what a great way to promote the park ahead of the opening in 4 weeks. ! Got loads of people to watch it on plus1 an hour later :-)

Good to see lots of footage for MM, always handy to remind everyone of the new coaster ;)

It's just a shame that they didn't take the opportunity to mention this years new ride.

Regardless of whether or it not it was about the park, it was filmed there.

The name was mentioned plenty of times too, and so was the 'preparation for the new season' etc. It was some good publicity for the park, but they should have mentioned the new ride.

Yeh the drone footage was wicked Ben. Still Cant see how the dodgems would have worked in that footage to relate it to the topic. I spent four and a bit years in the shadow of media stuff, its difficult.
