Genuinely wonder if this is mismanagement or a dying sector. My perception of piers is something that people in the 1930s did, and they are something of a relic.
The management of LWV has been horrendous, but it very much looks like so much of it has been because of cost cutting.
The ultimate was probably never going to run again regardless of who owned it, and the stresses and strains on the ride were probably eventually going to show either by killing someone or spectacularly breaking. So let's remember it for its glory days.
The rest of the park though? So much potential, so many corners cut, it's a wonder it has stayed open as long as it has. I always will have a soft spot for the place but a lack of any kind of investment since 2010 or possibly longer has meant I have had no interest in going back for at least the last decade.
I just hope upon hope whoever buys it sees the potential that's there and exploits it. It's beautiful (or the land is anyway), easy to get to, and has no real nearby competitors to its target market (the north east, not North Yorkshire, unlike flamingo land), and it is such a shame it has been so badly neglected for so long.
