Accelerator is still the same, no Pirates, Zoo’s not changing, Penny Arcade is shut for good, Wave still on one train, Air Race having maintenance. Is there anything positive going on this decade minus Gold Rush? Or are we carrying on the decay from the 2010s?
Any news?

There have been a lot of changes lately in the way the park is operated / management side of things.
Certain rides & attractions have seen operational changes (which have been discussed in other threads)
Give them time, looks like they need to find their feet a little amidst the internal changes.
As for investment - I don't think we will see any "new" things this year other than event changes.
Ongoing maintenance however may not always be seen but is there (ie. internal works)
Submarine Splash & some new animals have also been added to the zoo in recent years.
The zoo has also had improvement works / changes to enclosures & some animals have moved around (We also saw the Civet's introduced this year, the bear & wolves in the past few years )
4D cinema has had two shows in 2 years
Hopefully 2027 sees a new ride come into the main park.
I noticed a pattern forming.
Like the Bryan’s last added a ride in 2017 and the visitor numbers dropped.
Even today at the park the car park looked busy but with my son’s pass.
Only really had to use it on the rapids where the queue was near the top of the stairs and Gold Rush as that is also on 1 train again.
Blasting Barrels, the Haunting, Accelerator, Sheriff Showdown and the Dodgems were on 1 cycle wait.
Thor was 2 cycle wait and Loki was only using 1 side.
Now with Gold Rush been 2 years old in a couple of weeks they can’t go another season without no new attractions as visitors won’t come and annual passes won’t get renewed.

I just think they went big with the Christmas event and only having 4 weeks to get Thomas land open for Feb half term and then another 6 weeks to get the rest of the park open they fell behind with the maintenance but in the main park only Air Race is unavailable with James and the red balloon all back together.
Cranky's Drop Tower and Harolds was also closed the other day
