It’s a park model afterburner, which probably means it won’t end up on the pier.

I do know of a park with a redundant Pirate Ship it could have replaced though…

Thinking about it, Brighton Pier does have a Zamperla Air Race which I'm sure is a park model. I'd say a Park Model Afterburner could realistically show up on the pier.

I'm pretty sure the Wizard wouldn't pick up a 20 year old Afterburner from park they don't run. I'm sure the pirate ship site there will be empty for a while knowing them 🤔😱
 
So many of LWVs problems are down to three things; the cost and overspend of the ultimate hurt the park for years, the accidents, and the fact that they had to rely on generators for everything because they didn't have the power infrastructure.

I always hoped it would be hoovered up by a bigger player, being a northern park it could have slotted into the likes of Merlin's portfolio, but it was never to be.

Perhaps when Mellors turned it down in favour of Fantasy island, that was the final chance to do something special. The sad thing is, in so many ways it's perfectly located to hoover up northern visitors, being as it is just off the A1.

I haven't been for probably 12-14 years, and given that it is both my local park and has more emotional ties than any other park, the fact that I can't bring myself to visit it says everything about the slow death spiral it finds itself going through. And it's a genuine shame.
