Great to see the park so busy, and looking so vibrant!

Looking forward to my visit this summer, as always.

(Still wish they'd give the Valhalla skull some finer details. )

But Disney Dreams is much more than just a fountain show. It's also a last minute hash-together and a demonstration of really clumsy projection mapping...? Disney Dreams is the culmination of many years of technological advances by Disney in the field of nighttime spectaculars. It's hardly last-min...

You don't honestly think they were going to waive the money raised through booking fees completely now did you? Any proposed VAT cuts would go back on the admission price in time as well no doubt. They claim to be second only to Disney, but they most certainly couldn't be any further from Disney's p...

Eagle's Claw has a seat which can accomodate guests with larger chest measurements, though by how much I'm not so sure.

Nathan, when do you expect them to submit these plans for planning permission, and when do you expect the planning to be granted or denied and work to begin? :) I'd expect them to be submitted late August at the latest. As for how long it will take for the council to make a decision, I have no idea...

The project is being funded by their parent company, Heritage Great Britain PLC.

I might be wrong here, but wasn't there a golf course in there about 10 years ago? There was, but it closed not long after The Ultimate opened IIRC. Here's a few photos of it before The Ultimate was built. http://sports.webshots.com/photo/1039508645034271123bsIrZi http://sports.webshots.com/photo/1...

^Yes, as well as wrapping round the railway embankment and up to The Ultimate (former Soopa Loopa site).

You can view the proposed site layout at the link below.

Think you may have misread the article Craig - caravans aren't part of the new proposal.

From Valley Mania. Lightwater Valley have today revealed their master plan for an on-site resort complex. The draft master plan illustrates that the proposed Lightwater Resorts will be home to 106 holiday lodges, as well as other developments including outdoor activity areas. In September 1997, a pl...

For what it's worth, work on the tractor ride has recommenced. As Slappy picked up on, the project was postponed simply because the park didn't quite acquire the funds necessary to complete the job to the standard that they are aspiring to. The tractor ride could have opened this season, but it woul...

According to a poster on VM who seems to know what he's talking about, there are currently no plans for that site

I hope they buy either The Bullet or Magnum Force. Just so I can ride them and see what all the hype is about.

Never going to happen.

They don't have the power to run something like The Bullet.

Just to let you know, I'll be heading to Lightwater Valley on Saturday 26th May with Valley Mania. Anyone is welcome to join us.

Entrance is only £13.00 under the enthusiast admission rate.

Would be great to meet a few new faces! 

^You might wanna update your signature then.

The Ultimate shall be informed of this treacherous act!

No new attraction + huge entrance price increase during recession = no people in park.

It's so simple.

The wettest April in 100 years certainly hasn't helped.

Flamingo Land and Lightwater Valley are also struggling to hit targets. I imagine it is the same for most parks.

I for one, prefer the old frontage as it looks more like rocks, and the new frontage looks too light. I also preferred the way that you exit into the shop, instead of going over a bridge into the outdoors, as you could see everyone on the ride from there. As do I.  :( The skull looks nowhere n...

Also, I love this bit of the article from VM: At the time of writing, we are unable to disclose the name of The Wave's new owner Their little way of saying "we know, and you dont"... :roll: Or perhaps that the buyer has not expressed their permission for us to disclose their name publicly...

Looks pretty cool but I'm getting the impression this is more concept art than a photograph of an actual scene.

That's what I thought.

Still, looking forward to seeing what changes have been made internally. Hopefully this is just the first of many!

I think this email they sent out last night speaks volumes of the park's lack of professionalism. If you have the flamingoland app on your phone you can get you and a friend in half price this wednesday. All you do is show ur app on your phone at the pay desk No images. No styling. Plain old text. T...
