Anybody know if there are any delays in ride openings this year due to refurbishments or have all the headline attractions opened as usual?. Also has Apocalypse been operating after the information arose of its possible future sale, I’m heading over on Saturday so can’t wait to see all the improvements for myself, fantastic to have my most local park on the up again after a topsy turvey few years.

Not sure about the answers to all of your questions here except for Apocalypse as I know for a fact that's been operating, I've seen people posting their 2021 ride photos on it on Twitter - hopefully someone else knows the other answers!Anybody know if there are any delays in ride openings this year due to refurbishments or have all the headline attractions opened as usual?.

Any updates of the new land refurb?

Drayton retweeted this picture of the Shockwave station which looks quite neat:
And Theme Parks Vision Art also seem to have a video which includes views of some of the work in progress:
Well that looks absolutely fantastic

Looks like they have done a good job
Surely there's more than a wave swinger going on that piece of land? Looks big from the picture.
Zamperla Disco is the other strong rumour isn't it? Surely that's going to be going there too.

Rumours indicate a Disco, not sure if a standard disco or a disco coaster model, there looks enough room for a disco coaster I think, but are more expensive. I imagine the wave swinger is coming from zamperla as well.
they have done a fantastic job of the shockwave station, looks like they have done a quality job.

The rapids boats have been delivered on site today. Some have been stored by the side of the ride. You can see them as you drive into the park. Speaking to park management this morning the new attraction on the G force site is opening in June.

The rapids will be opening in a couple of months apparently! Also does anyone know if the chairlift is still there or the former site at least?!
