Hang on, hang on. Do we actually know for certain that Grand National closed to save money?
Where has that been stated? What park staff have confirmed that information?
There seems to be a lot of negative assumption here.
Last week there was talk that Big One had been closed due to off peak cost cutting, and this turned out to be untrue.
I really find it strange how people like to bash BPB yet this seems to be the one park on this forum (apart from Towers obviously) which has the most loyal fans. There could be a whole heap of reasons why GN was closed, yet everyone seems to be taking it as a given that it was cost cutting, despite seemingly no evidence to suggest this to be the case.
When you eventually hunt down the "Ride Closures" bit of the Beach website...
"Please be aware that the availability of rides is subject to change and that during off peak periods we reserve the right to alter the ride offering which can include additional rides being unavailable or reduced operating times on some attractions."
Evidence as requested.
