I’m don’t think the all day pass is worth it really. I know I could have got lucky but when I was at thorpe park last wednesday the person on the door of Bozos allowed us to do the maze 4 times on our tickets (there were 2 of us, we had one ticket each). The people running the maze don’t care enough to stop people going in again, meaning the more expensive ticket to allow you to go in multiple times isn’t worth it.

Mr Monkey's wouldn't be the easiest ride to relocate, since pirate ships tend to have a hole for the ride mechanism. It would also be a largely pointless endeavour, as what would go in its space? The ride had been closed as they were awaiting parts from the manufacturer, which were order before the end of last season, and only arrived in late June I believe. Rocky Express isn't coming back. Chief Ranger's Carousel isn't in storage. Even if it was, having been in storage for 9 years, it would be better to buy a new one than try and start up an old one. Quick and simple Amity retheme for the area is best in my books. Dodgems goes to a garage / pit stop theme. Detonator is Detonator. Leave it as it is. Teacups can be rethemed at some point once the Dobble partnership ends. Only issue is the 4D cinema, which does still pull in a crowd and the numbers, surprisingly. But a custom 4D film, or just some random IP chucked in there, does the job in my books. One thing I've noticed with the park is that their events, and even the Thrillmakers show, is targeted more towards a younger market. Carnival especially, but also Mardi Gras, definitely has a leaning towards to children with the shows, and a more family feel. Whether this is the park's way of answering the need for more family stuff, or if it's in preparation of a larger family market push, is unclear. Leave the Rangers in past in my opinion. They haven't been relevant for almost 20 years, and I don't think they have a place in the modern day. Ahhh, so we're going for Prime then? World's first area themed to a drink?

Mingo also has a more recent issue of removing seats off of things like Flip Flop and Pterodactyl, further reducing throughputs. Guess the caravan park been a bit quiet with the poor weather. But those throughputs are god awful no matter what way its spun as "only" 40 minutes. Would've been far less and a far higher ride count if things were run even slightly better, but sounds like maintenance wise there's a lot of issues with stuff breaking down often.
