Lightwater Valley

Probably the slowest spiral queue ever, followed by the crappiest water splash, into the filthiest of green pools.

There, my memories of a third rate "skip on a rope on a short slope" ride.

Only worth doing when walk on.

Which was never.

The looping group doesn’t have a true multi-park pass despite Drayton Manor and WMSP being very near to eachother.

Looping don't seem to give two hoots about WMSP.

A multi park pass has been one of Merlin's strengths, because it gives people an incentive to stay within the group when seeking their alternative visits.

In other news over the last year, the infamous Rocket Rollercoaster brought into the park by Brighton Pier Group in 2024 managed to be sold on by them to a park in Brazil... https://rcdb.com/6724.htm Honestly, how the hell did this get sold on judging by the absolute state of it nearly two years ago... From the looks of it, the new park got it completely refurbished hopefully. I mean, Kingda Ka got completely destroyed, but this lives on?? I don't get it.

See Kingoland in France. There is a model to operate smaller parks on cheap to buy then full refurb coasters rather than large outlay on expensive hardware.
