If the CapEx was focused on here and now I'd be more worried than the currently laid plans (Alty Mans, Nemesis, Horizon). Proper business is like snooker, your next shot will probably be obvious to outsiders as you play it but in your head you're 7 shots ahead looking to clear the table and make it a success.
As much as we may not agree with things, we cannot expect changes instantly and to bin things at will. The KPIs for the last big investments (WM and Alty Mans) will show what people want.
If she had come out and said yes we're doing X, Y and Z it would probably have been half truths at best as there is significant constraints. She has been dealt the equivalent of a 14 in Blackjack. Decent enough hand to keep you playing (the place isn't bankrupt, it has some high quality rides) but going forward caution is required whilst not being able to stand still as the hand (or park in this case) isn't good enough to guarantee a win (or the park becoming world class) without a decent strategy
