Great day at the park today.


Had a great day today with my daughter. My only constructive criticism today  is that I really hope they can sort out the water feature at the park entrance. It was on, but looked really bad as a first impression.

Did you see any evidence of this new elusive ride they've got?

 Good question Bubbles. Rednaxela, were any of the rides out of action during your visit?

No, all was normal. I chatted to a lovely lady who helped us off the chairlift and asked if I could buy a small section of Rattkesnake track as a memento of my first coaster. She said somebody has purchased the whole ride and hopes to move and restore it.
She said she had been told a new ride was coming, but didn't know what it might be. She agreed with me that a kiddi coaster would be perfect.

pity the hills didn't have the interest to restore it.

She said the cost would have been 20k.

i must admit, when looking at the track compared to later coasters, it did look very thin. At the age it is, I would start to worry about long term metal fatigue.

If they spent 20k for a new ride what would they get.........not a lot. would have been good to still have the ride.

20k seems very cheap to restore the snake, it that's true the hills really ****ed up here.
Just look at how much was spent on Hyperdrive.

Yeah £20k is nothing in terms of rides... it's not very comfort8ng to know that investments of that scale are being turned down.

For example, one of the ever common caterpillar/big Apple kiddy coastets cost around £65k...

well if they're not willing to spend 20 or 30k to keep a very popular ride and a coaster at that then it just says it all really. They couldn't wait to get rid of it.

I would be very surprised if 20k was really all it would have taken.

Rides ain't cheap.
