Typical pleasure beach with the announcement.

Most parks would probably have issued a statement saying they "Regret to announce" followed by some reasonable explanation for the delay.

Amanda just puts "Ta dahhhhhh" !!

What is that supposed to mean ??

That's just Pleasure Beach fashion. There was no regret for the Wild Mouse (sorry @shakey ) and there's no regret here!

It does feel at times that the park's PR and social media team is run by underqualified interns, or simply fails to exist at all; hence why things like this are as ad hoc as they are.

Have you seen the state of of the so called qualified social media teams kicking about these days? Someone on the Body Shops social media team called women "menstruators" and the Co-Ops social media team got into a fight with the Spectator. I think many social media teams need to send less time being trendy and be a bit more professional. Amanda makes some of them look good by comparison.

Wouldn't goodbye be "Ta Raaah" ?

I would associate "Ta dahhh" with the revelation of something good or unexpectedly amazing.

Maybe that is a tyke pronunciation.
Spent an hour looking at the parks most recent accounts, not that I am skilled in accountancy...Icon seems to have been a major cost, but hasn't had any effect on income.
Cash pot seems to keep falling.
Last years figures due in December, will make interesting reading.

£16.5m and no more punters through the gates. Which equates to £16.5m down the pan unfortunately.

The increase of the walk round charge to £10 in Icon's opening year was a mistake and probably a factor in attendances dropping, when they should have gone up in 2018.

Covid has now added to the parks troubles.

As I have said before, it's all the curse of the Wild Mouse.
