I feel the park will recover. When looking at Facebook comments on these stories, particularly the horrific nudging that took place on Sonic Spinball, more people are voicing their boredom of these stories than those being genuinely scared of the place. That being said, there are still countless posts of people saying 'Shut the place down', or that they and their friends/family will never step foot in there again, so damage is certainly being done.
The park will need a really good year next year to recover, though. I just hope they get more investment, rather than follow the typical Merlin model and get less for struggling.
