Whilst it is always sad when a park closes, if your product isn't compelling enough, you simply won't attract visitors.
I consider myself very well travelled within theme parks really, having ridden many coasters over the world.
But I didn't bother with this place because, to be brutally honest, it looked rubbish.
Hopefully something else can crop up in this neck of the woods in the years that come.
What do you mean exactly by "The UK holiday has basically died now", out of interest? My family still go on many holidays in the UK. In fact, the only abroad holidays we have are our Florida holidays!Problem was, that it was no way near anything of worth... The UK holiday has basically died now and those that do would go to the places you think of when you suggest a UK seaside trip such as Skegness, Blackpool etc. all of which have closer and some what, better quality propositions for those looking for thrills.

Also, the sorts of places you mention (Skegness, Blackpool etc.) are actually the sort of places that my family like to avoid! I personally think they look quite nice, but my family does not agree! The only reason we're headed for Blackpool in summer is because I wanted to go to BPB and ride Icon! In terms of British seaside places, the only seaside places I've been to more than once are Pembrokeshire and Torquay.
Thanks @KingNemesis! People do still go to these seaside towns en masse, but I would agree that not many really go to the seaside as their "big" holiday anymore. For example, our family's "big" holidays are our Florida holidays.Compared to 10 - 15 years ago and even more so, the UK holiday / seaside break idea has dropped drastically. Gone are the days where a family have there "big" holiday at [INSERT SEASIDE TOWN HERE] and instead they are taking cheap flights abroad.
A majority of people that still do go to the more popular resorts such as the aforementioned Skegness, Blackpool etc. and even they are a shadow of there former self.
There are some "popular" seaside towns but when I said it has basically died, I meant by the variety of locations has diminished dramatically... Places like Cleethorpes are no longer the "ideal" holiday location like they once were.
