      This looks like a really good place to go for a fun adventurous day out.. I've always wished to fullfill my missions by visiting parks like these, I'm on my epic 7day family Peterborough holiday park vacation which is amazing however I'm really sad😪😪😪😭😭 as I was totally looking forward spending the day with my sister and 5year old niece, unfortunately I can't afford to go now especially as my Lowe back where I'm officially in recovery from my major instant invasive herniated disc life saving surgery 2019 my back is extremely painful seized up grrr, I'm not really crying the tearful emojis I've shared is my expression how I'm feeling.

      The zip wire is permanently closed and is due to be dismantled,when funds available the bottom area will be improved,the racing cars were too expensive to run with staffing and maintenance and not environmental friendly,also the monorail was high cost and simply no longer viable ,the money from these they brought the new ride ,also big names are due to appear in 2022 With the wicksteed open air theatre though cancelled this year due to covid,also the clip and climb is closed, disappointed that you both didn't do the dropslide I have and I am 49! Though when I worked there we had people in their 60's and 70's on it

      They are literally called bumper cars in most parts of the World. That's just an excuse to not maintain the ride. Especially when I think how crazy they are operated on european fairgrounds it's an absolute joke what some themepark prohibit in that ride type.

I have pictures of me on that ladybug ride when I was super small and the now themed dino coaster was one of the first 'big' roller coasters I ever went on. I'm so glad they've pulled through administration and remain open still

    Nice little family park and a bit of a throw back, as it's nowhere near as commercial as most? Bought some, made to order, pottery from one of the independent shops there years ago. Couple of decent Ale pubs in easy walking distance too. Reminds me a little of Chessington 40 odd years ago but without the zoo?

    I was also once on the old water shoot when it came off the rails (cable snapped ) can’t remember exactly what happened was about 1983 . I say old water chute as by the mid ninetys there were two new ones .
    We went about two years ago as my Husband had never been . So sad to see what it had become . But glad it is back and recovering
