November 14, 20169 yr comment_244849 Merlin need to make quite a few word firsts. Because attraction names need to be of acceptable quality. The derelict ride is never a great name.
November 17, 20169 yr comment_244966 I would think neither - they still aren't sure what to do with it and there are probably various reasons why they wouldn't send photos as it isn't the norm, even photos of other rides in the complex during close season. It would be like asking them to show photos of the Bubbleworks redevelopment. I guess the only way to tell for sure would be to go up Monks Walk - can it be seen from there?

Or its rotted away to nothingness. Slightly depressing.
November 17, 20169 yr comment_244968 It means they don't want and need to show the public what they are doing as what happens with ride is upto them. Yes, because messaging a park requesting for photos of a restricted area is clearly going to happen.
November 21, 20169 yr comment_245207 And the fate of Loggers has now officially been revealed. For 2017 at least anyway, but it was imminent. Source Theme Park Guide. Bash them all you like but I feel there are/were multiple reasons for this closure safety being one of them and given 2015 and their demographic audience (who would often stand up etc.) it was going to happen.
November 21, 20169 yr comment_245208 But I thought Thorpe wanted to bring more families to the park? And treating Twitter responses as the official line? Never a good idea with the distinct lack of communication between departments...

November 21, 20169 yr comment_245213 So it's going to be sat doing absolutely nothing for two seasons? No, I'm sorry, but that's absolutely shocking. I also hate how they're still trying to pass it off as "redevelopment," they said that last year and no matter what happens to the area in the future, it was NOT being redeveloped, nor was it being "rennovated" (as they said in their official statement) throughout last year. That's twice that they have openly lied to the public, I really hope they don't make this a third.

It is a shame that it's not going to be opening, but I'm sure Thorpe know more about the rides current situation than you or I. They have shown that they do care about getting rides open (Slammer every year, Samurai and all those times around Fright Nights that Stealth craps itself). It would be good to hear an official statement from the park about the ride, rather than nerds harrassing them on social media and over analysing throwaway comments. Hopefully they'll speak about it soon

This is not rollercoaster tycoon, you can right click on loggers leap, delete it and place a new ride in its place over night, ideas need to be thought up, plans drawn up this is before they even apply for any permission needed but is all part of a re-development process.

The whole thing seems bizarre, you have to ask why they are doing this? I can't think of any obvious reason, so they must have one. I'm sure that it wouldn't be closed unless there is plans or good reason.

True, but Loggers Leap should have remained open throughout this process. Unless, as I am guessing, the cost of keeping it in a state where it is able to run was too much, so they are just letting it rot whilst making up other plans for the area.
