Locals round here don't bother much with the park, thats where it fell foul.
Last significant investment/attraction was marble madness 10/11 seasons ago, that did the park well yet nothing been added since, lots removed and substantial SBNO areas across the park is very sad to see.
Yes they have been tarting up rides etc yet this is general tlc that should be done regardless and the continuation of advertising new look each season doesn't wash with the local market at all.
You only have to see the comments left on official Facebook posts to see what the general public want...
Operating hours were actually reduced last year which did surprise me as it use to be open for longer than AT , yet not now.
Ticket wise I think is still fairly good value, yet I know most will go to GYPB as they have yet again another new attraction for 2024.
