Forget to mention Ice Blast was under overhaul requiring a new cylinder, River Caves needed work, Valhalla was down for refurbishment, Wild Mouse was removed due to insurance and that was from the owner.

All of what you have spouted is nonsense

Yep , ice blast was refurbed, over an extended period of time to save money. Could have easily been done in a few months. River caves maybe does need work but it doesn't take 3 years. Valhalla was very likely closed for an extra year to save costs.

Wild mouse may or may not have had an issue with insurance costs but there is absolutely no doubt they could have saved the ride if they had the finances and the will to do so.

If you cannot see the park are making ever more desperate cost saving measures then you are either Stevie Wonder or a mad man.

It may be that the park have no other option but to cut costs , I don't know. But the fact is that a fully solvent proffitable park would not be doing some of the things we have seen recently.

Ice Blast requires work with S&S and they deliver things slowly so they would have of gotten it open sooner if S&S delivered things faster.

It River Caves has not be down for 3 years been down for just over a year. It opened for the first few days of 2024.

Valhalla was held back because of the pandemic so was likely put on hold for a bit.

Insurance cost was not an issue with Wild Mouse but rather getting it insured itself was the problem.

All parks want to save money any business who doesn't will struggle. I am logical and don't just go for cost cutting
 
River caves opened for one weekend in 2024.

It has been down for 2 years already and if it opens next year then come and see me in Crevettes and i will buy you a pint.

If you are logical as you say then why don't you come to the logical conclusion as to whats happening with the park ?

I think cost management might be part of the issue it but not the overall reason
