I love this topic.
Towers ents set an example for the rest of the UK to look up to and they need to be given the budget and resources to allow them to work their magic. Merlin are trying to turn the resort into a world-class short break resort, but they need more than just rides and shops for people to actually enjoy themselves. If Merlin allow a decent budget for Towers ents, the resort will thrive, if not, it's going to stay the same soulless, over-commercialised, bland day out it felt like last season.
I'm personally really annoyed that the park chose to relocate Frog Hopper a few metres along in the area, meaning the theatre cannot be used without major work to move it back, which I can't see happening. I'd love to see the Park Keepers return as they really pumped atmosphere and magic into the park.
A sad reality is from the last few years where ents has basically been non-existent outside their time to shine at the end of the season, there was nothing I could find in the whole resort that would actually make you laugh and very few things you'd be able to smile about.
