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.
