For better or worse, many attractions have also closed or been changed during Amanda’s tenure. Just off the top of my head, Amanda’s tenure has seen the demise of:
- Wild Mouse
- Log Flume
- Space Invader 2
- Spin Doctor
- Bling
- The Gold Mine
- Beaver Creek
My apologies; I missed quite a few, it would seem!You missed.....
Monorail
Noah's Ark
Swamp Buggies
Turtle Chase
The Whip
Teacups
Water Chute
Black Hole
Trauma Towers
Alpine Crazy Golf
Superbowl dodgems
And a few kids rides.
And the magnolia cafe
Basically the ride line up has been decimated in the last 20 years.

You've changed your tune. You yourself are on record in a number of threads as recent as a couple of days ago branding forum members who have been visiting Towers for decades, as "ungrateful" moaners who look for things to complain about.This women nearly made me punch a wall after hearing her comments about passholders. She threw her rattle out the pram because the people that love the park most spoke out about the absolute bin bag of a place it is
Ye but we're allowed to because we're enthusiasts. She's a director of one of the biggest UK parks calling out her own passholders. She should be more mindful of what she saysYou've changed your tune.

You gave me this exact advice after several horrendous visits back in 2021, and I’ve not bought a season pass ever since. And, despite having previously been a pretty regular visitor, I’ve only been to the park once since May 2021.It's her sandbox.
If you don't like it, sod off, and stop buying season tickets.
That is all she is saying.
Then Pleasure beach struggle because they won't have the numbers. They don't have a big enough brand image to get away with 'is what it is'. Towers are the only park that get away with it cus they're towers. Towers and Thorpe are the UK equivalent of Iphone and Samsung. Pleasure Beach is more of a NokiaIt's her sandbox.

You're correct I wasn't comparing like for like. The point was that Pleasure beach are small in comparison to organisations like Towers and therefore they can't afford to lose loyal pass holdersYou aren't comparing like for like.
If that were true then Towers wouldn't have a fan baseIf they are constantly harping on...is that loyal?
You're right. The park do lots of thing we probably don't always notice too. Things like overhaling the water feature at Eddie Stobart, replacing the Steeplechase sign and a complete refurb of the bears at Avalanche. Things that you don't notice because they look good, but if they are left to deteriorate you certainly would.I think as pass holders we should also point out the things Pleasure Beach do well especially for a British family owned park. There food is generally better quality and reasonable prices. I think on the whole they do try and take care of presentation of the park and things are tidy and well presented. Not like corporate style presented retro in many ways but that's part of Pleasure Beachs charm. I also think they did a really good job on Valhalla in the end. It took a long time but its been very reliable this season on the whole. I've seen the ring of fire working more this season them I can remember in years. Some of the staff are very friendly too. So I think credit where credit due. There season pass is also excellent value if you factor in the free entries to European Parks like Europa Park.
