Could this be something to do with the Grand Prix closing event they promised a little while back?

Surely (hopefully) related to a new ride. If GP will be given any kind of send off with final rides, I’d like to think they’d at least announce it in good time so people can make plans. Not holding my breath though

Edit: Whoops, just noticed the ‘final time’ bit. Surely Grand Prix related then. Whilst it’s not a patch on the old petrol car ‘Turnpike’, and the throughput is crap, I’d be sad to see it go. The track spiral is ace. It had better be something good if it gets replaced, just like how the Wild Mouse was replaced by, er, a bar that’s hardly ever open
 
What are we betting then? £15 evening with a drink, a cake, speech and possibly a walkaround?

Let me get this straight. They're possibly holding a last ride event for the Grand Prix? Where the hell was that for the Wild Mouse?

I doubt there is much danger of anyone attempting to apply for listed status for the Grand Prix, so they don’t have to be so cloak and dagger.

It’s comparing apples with oranges.

Someone had already applied for wild mouse listed status well before it was demolished and it was declined on the grounds that it had been modified .

So I don't think the park had to worry about wild mouse being listed either. They were probably more worried about protests and people handcuffing themselves to the ride.

Can't see anyone chaining themselves to Grand Prix.

Or topping themselves, if I remember correctly.
 
£50 to ride Grand Prix again before it closes. Absolute joke, what a disgrace. Just open it for a few more weeks to let people ride it for what they’ve already paid. Sorry, but I call BS on this. The park should be ashamed of this. It looks like the rest of the park will be shut. £50 for a ride, some live entertainment and a certificate. Utter nonsense.
