In all fairness it was all a matter of time on the ‘waiting’ game to when IAC, especially with the politics involving Ant. Four seasons is quite astounding for an attraction that was clearly intended as something short term and not built to last. Hopefully what follows investment wise wise will be aimed to be more long term, but who knows.

Very excited by this, Paultons is a lovely park and their recent additions such as Lost Kingdom prove they are going in the right direction. Their next area is set to be called Tornado Springs, which implies some sort of American theme which makes for an interesting choice. It’s not yet known what the area will include, Apart from some sort of Diner style restaurant. Would love the park to get a small woodie along the lines of Kentucky Flyer or Twister as something like that would really suite the place.

A brand new roller coaster without a ridiculously far-fetched and pointless gimmick would be highly adequate in my books.

Even still to this day, Loggers is/was my favourite UK Flume Ride. It’s (originally) indoor drop and tunnel, ‘double’ drop amongst it’s lake/vegetational landscaping made for a lovely experience (as simplistic it may be). The ride’s ‘wellrounded’ appeal and historical value (with Royals). The way the whole attraction has been supposedly ‘covered’ up, is worse than a lazy student losing their coursework.

Whilst we live in the world of make belief, I might as well contribute. 2019: Car Park Changes and Improvements: Better and more efficient gravel on main car park area, because this area can’t be tarmacd, the new material will make it easier to park and give a nicer presentation. New zone areas make make it easier to remember where you have parked, I.E Inferno lot, Stealth lot etc. The price of parking will drop to £5 and be free to half price in Summer after 3pm, you must pay upon entering now unless you have a pre-booked ticket or are dropping off. New Rides and Events No new rides will actually open this year, but there will be lots of events. Easter will hold a treasure hunt type thing, with prizes including food and shop discounts. Summer will hold park anniversary celebrations, with fireworks on Friday and Saturdays at 11pm, additional charge due to capacity. Fright Nights will return, with a brand new maze replacing Vulcan peak with nods to Asylum and Studio13. Living Nightmare, Saw Alive and Blair Witch return along with a welcome back to Big Top. Dead Creek and Platform not returning, for good reasons. Scarezones In Amity and Lost City. Redevelopment: The Whole area of Old Town will be completely closed off for redevelopment. Loggers Leap, Canada Creek Railway and the building’s are demolished. Rocky Express is relocated to Slammer’s area along with Timber Tug which has been given a makeover to fit in within the new area. Slammer has been removed. Park TLC: Rocky Express will be completely rebuilt and repainted Saw’s queue will be tidied and made easier to navigate, Jigsaw puppet is now synced to voice dialogue, more comfortable restraints and work done on main drop to remove jolts. Nemesis Inferno has been given a massive jetwash with the station being repainted, the volcano theming has been rebuilt by Universal Rocks and features more fire and smoke effects inside the volcano. Gardens tidied and rooftops tidied too. 2020 Major Year For The Park, Redeveloped New area of the former Canada Creek area to Loggers Town, which is sponsored by Red Dead Redemption to help it being marketable. The main new attraction is Iron Pony, an RMC which replaces Loggers Leap and interacts with the lake. Two smaller family attractions have been installed which include a Vekoma boomerang and rodeo themed polyp flat with a lasso theme for families. Theres also a new western themed smokehouse restaurant in the area. A side area has been kept where a new maze at fright nights can be located. Construction begins for the long planned hotel, which will be given the name, Island Breakers. Storm Surge gets new boats and repaired effects, Lost City rides repainted. 2021 Island Breakers Hotel opens, featuring many rooms, twin, double and family rooms and some ride themed too. There’s also two restaurants, a bar and a pool with splash and play. Park accessible by new waterbuses and ERT in Loggers Town. ‘Major infrastructure upgrades’- Phase1- Car Park rerouted to help improve flow and serve new hotel. Admissions, staff and entrance buildings all demolished for brand new state of the art entrance, featuring a more modern, minimal and nautical appearance. There will also be a new centrepiece, Shark fountain. New staff buildings on two story to the side of this new entrance, which opens in June. The Dome closes in September to makeway for Phase Two infrastructure redevelopment. Shark hotel closes for time being, temporary mega store new Crust with Stickysisters area becoming Finns area. Staff areas located in tempory buildibgs where shark used to be and tempory first aid area too. New pathway as well. Loggers Town continues to be marketed as new, Detonator repainted, Stealth jetwashed, Park pathways are repaved with small details referencing their areas. 2022 Brand New Entrance area opens, the Dome has been replaced with a new steampunk harbour themed building, featuring a new table restaurant similar to fins with twice the capacity, quick service cafe, modern main gift shop and areas for guest information, services combined. There’s also a new first aid room and toilet facilities that accessible to everyone. Staff area still underground with modern infrastructure, new entertainment district added around too. Shark hotel replaced with a new hotel style based off Rookburgh in Phantasialand. Colossus theming restores with a complete repaint and brand new trains. Ride systems upgraded to improve reliability. New Jungle Carousel added where Fungle Safari was. Amity Beach area and Depth Charge demolished in September. 2023 Neptunes World- new area opens in June, replacing the Beach and Depth Charge. Main attraction is Aquatica Falls, an Intamin flume Ride similar to Chiapas, with an ‘adventure’ gone wrong theme. It makes a stunning first impression when you enter the park. A splash and play area (replacing the beach) is also added with a new quick service place. Rerouted pathways interact with ride. Derron Brown’s Ghost Train closes after numerous attempts to keep it going failed. 2024 Flying Fish rethemed with nautical theming and effects to make for a more exciting ride. Island next to Swarm to become home to next coaster, an Intamin multilaunch. Other things: Replace Ghost Train with a more universal market dark ride. Replace KFC with RCR style restaurant, experience thing vortex replaced with larger Gyro swing, Probably more.

Well I think we can probably expect from next year, it’ll probably only run three boats with a staff member in each and only be operation two days a week and school holidays between May and September.

The state of Loggers from those videos is exactly what I expected, I couldn’t see anything finer from such a company! Anyhow, at leas the railway trains are in adequate condition otherwise anyone who hasn’t been to the place might think it’s one of those abandoned theme parks. Like Nara Dreamland or Six Flags New Orleans. I'm so assured it’s reopening, that I thought I’d show my reaction for it’s opening day! Better than nothing I suppose!

Should be able to make this one as I’ve already requested leave and am expected to be off on the weekend. Should be a Phantastic meet!
