See this is a weird comment... John Menzies built countless amazing attractions, albeit with much less budget than would be needed to do today with all the bullshit hoops and standards that need to be dealt with. Then you had the joke that was Tim and Bob come in and just destroy everything, gut quality attractions and replace them with trash. Demote the parks from destination to regional category on purpose, and cut costs everywhere possible. Now you have Clark and Bikash, arguably the two most passionate people in management since John Menzies running the show, and building a team of people below them with the same values. They’ve got years worth of shit to undo from the mistakes of the previous management, I’m sure they would love to build quality attractions like Tunes, but there is much turnaround to do first.

I hate it when a park has gone to shit and then a new team come in to try and fix it but constantly get shit on for not fixing it fast enough

When you’re a puritan so you shower fully clothed, and not naked.

I don't want to derail another topic with this shit (seriously have something else to be about) but I would be happy if a competent company bought DW and left some of the park level management team in place.

Are we talking the park where the CEO was brought in for his skills at preparing businesses for sale, and gets a large bonus if the place is sold for a certain amount? DW is absolutely for sale, and it's not exactly a secret in financial circles. Problem is it's hard to get a good price for a park that's losing money so bless they've been trying to turn it around so they can sell it as a theme park. So yeah, the article was right already, thanks.

Definitely agree 😉

I see this as such a pointless comment, did we see any fantastic dark rides built in the last 20 years under management prior to Bikash & Clark? It’s just having a pointless and baseless dig at 2 people for no reason

I hated the lift, liked the coaster part, hated the splash down.

So what was the point of putting pressure on the government to open again?

Good point. It won't happen though. We will never see Village build a dark ride to the standard of LTRR, with the current Clark & Bikash dynamic duo running the show.
