Has anyone seen anything change around the VertiGO area at the weekend?

No changes, the signs are still up pointing towards it in the park and it still has its branding on the building, no work appears to have been done on or around it.

I guess they're making G-Force priority ride to remove at the moment even though they've basically finished the job.

There still a lot of work to do to make the area safe.

Yes on Saturday there were piles of concrete and large containers on site so there appears to be a lot to do in the next 6 weeks or so before main season.

What I find worrying is Vertigo sat most of last year closed and the whole investment cost Drayton around £900,000 which I find staggering considering it just sit doing nothing for a large amount of time. Like Air race for all the crap it got, cost around the same but at least it's used by customers! Selling it will never recoup the investment back for it sadly. It will just sit to rot I feel

I might be clutching at straws, but maybe they've removed it from the website to rebrand it for the 2021 season? I think it's doubtful, but it could be a possibility.

As of yesterday

Exactly the same probably!!

I noticed the signs pointing to it were still up on Saturday and they were cleaning up (what appeared to be flood damaged) inside the building so I wouldn’t be surprised if it does reopen.

True and we could see a proper replacement ride for it!!

I think the park really need a good entertainment area with live shows and food and drink.

what kind of rides would you like to see like flats or other types??

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

I think having a food place will be good here as with the picnic benches added in there it’s calling out for a coffee shop/sandwich shop.

If it’s going to be rides I think a couple of good flat ones would be best something to appeal to older children.

I hope it will appeal to older children because there is only stuff really for adults or young children
