    I think the North East is the only 'free' area for a new park...... Liverpool could work if/when Camelot closes

    Camelot is staying!

    Gate figures have been up and the past 18months have been very good for the park, they closed early (sept) due to cost cutting, they thought they wouldnt get enough numbers through the gate waiting for Oct half term to come round. I doubt they will be getting any big rides, maybe a few flat...

    Planning - court cases?

    I fully understand your points (im a builder lol) And they make perfect sense But surly if you open a theme park you must be able to build new rides, I fully understand the point of view of keeping the locals happy, wild animals ect. I was just chatting to a mate (who hates rollercoasters)...

    Camelot is staying!

    ^^^^^ well said! I hate to see any theme park struggle, we need the small parks as much as the big ones! I really hope they invest some money into the park over the next few years, I dont see a new coaster coming in but maybe a few good flat rides and a good tidy and repaint would do...
