I got grief from Pleasure Beach Experience, about a decade ago, for saying that Hot Ice was a massive cost to the park, without ever having a realistic chance of profit, and was killing the chance of profitability of the park in the long term, just because Mandy has it as her pet project.
I was completely correct, but my comments were seen in a very negative light by the site management, and were censored.
If it has been losing around a million a year, as previously rumoured by others "in the know", they are between twenty and thirty million pounds down now, on a product that has been an obvious commercial failure for all of this century, not just the last few years.
The next time the park goes begging for a loan, the lender needs to insist on new management, to stop the need for bail out loans in the first place.
I'm sure than nice Ms Truss will lend her a few quid.
