For things that will occur during the 2020 season and isn't really something being done over closed season I felt it was right to create this thread.
Thorpe Park are getting proper lifeguards next year this year (link to job ad for the supervisor position):

The description states that Amity Beach used to be run by the attractions department (didn't know that tbh) but they're transitioning to lifeguards:
I'm not sure why they've made that decision but one could make the leap that they're planning on doing something to that area for 2020/ future years.
