Just seems to be information based on the opening times released this week.

Hobo is spot on. They're just speculating, like we do.

I'm not sure speculation is accurate, given that the opening calendar stops at September. If they had a quiet October last year it may make sense to not open then. It makes no sense that they would not advertise October as opening if they intend to do so. Alarmingly ending the season earlier and earlier a route that Camelot went down before it closed.

I wouldn't be surprised, but to be honest i highly doubt it.

Nah, I'm pretty certain speculating is accurate, unless you've had confirmation?

I did check 2014 and it was open all weekends in September as it is in 2015.

It will be odd as all other attractions will be open - well GYPB for example yet I guess it has come down to attendance and cash and if this is the case then I would rather have the budget put into something else - after all we never use to open for October half term

I think they always had opened for the half term until CdA took over, they then stopped it for a few years.

way back in the 80s and early 90s they didn't do October half term...... season end was just that usually at start of October, the old maps/leaflets will tell us

 

actually 1995 was October half terms first.. "reduced entertainment at a reduced price "

They have now confirmed their stance as "not ruling it out" and will announce it a little later (assuming it happens).

To me this is a slightly bizarre approach, however I will trust their judgement.

Sounds like it's been at a loss, maybe if they make good profits this year they'll run it.

Bizarre approach. You'd want them to have as long as possible to prepare rather than do it last minute. Shame there'll be no fireworks too if so.

Regardless of whether they are running their Halloween event, it seems very strange to close in September and miss the October half term trade. Also, I thought the Halloween event was popular?

Even if they just opened for a three day weekend and did the fireworks, that'll be alright.

As I've just said in the news thread, a spokesman contacted me directly after my site reported how the opening dates on their website showed a 27 September close.

That's a thought - fireworks - mind you we haven't always had them

With Firework displays far and few between theses days i think losing the one at the hills would be pretty disappointing.

I had a email from Pleasurewood hills today, They have no plans for october this year, but keep looking on web site we may look into this to open.

As I said last year, from after the fireworks, they said "See you next year if we are here", look like it was on the cards then!

Still seems a strange move yet perhaps based on budget and attendance. Yet October is a way off as yet so maybe it will also depend on how 2015 main season goes. Many will be asking the park why they won't/may not be open and it will be probably the biggest major attraction in east Anglia not to open for Halloween 2015 if this goes ahead.

If they are running at a loss then im not surprised.
But things have gone a little downwards since that new chap took over.
