Yes i believe it was both the structural safety and fire safety of the building correct me if im wrong though
Pirate Adventure

I remember someone saying something about sprinklers so I think you’re right.
The building would need a sprinkler system installing if it was re used as a ride again. The legislation is a bit hard to read, but I am certain that building is not upto regulation.
I would to see inside now. See if my name is still signed onto the osb board behind the bar scene. We used to sit on the bridge that crosses over the trough and eat our lunch, right next to the fighting pirates unbeknown to plenty of guests passing underneath.

Going into the zoo area yesterday I noticed this roofing been installed around the back of the pirate adventure building.
Over half term I took the little lad to Jorvik as he has being doing Vikings at school.
The middle section is a dark ride and the animatronics were really good. The pods were transproted by a ride system at the top and held 6 on two levels, each seat had individual speakers with a screen in front which gave extra info and allowed for personalised choice as to the commentary you received.
Given the Viking section is there the possibility of Drayton hosting "Jorvik Midlands" in the PA building?
It would being a whole new crowd and also opens up the opportunity to do school trips etc during parkclosures. The Theatre could also be repurposed for a lecture / lesson type thing too.

I can’t see a Viking ride or show working outside of the Vikings area as they trying to keep each area to a theme. Can see the theatre been re-themed partly over the next 3 weeks or done after the new year.
If they added anything it would be in the area where the climbing frame was
Yes, especially as there is doors in the shop also leading to that way. I’m sure if there was never going to be anything over there they would of removed those doors.
This is a little off topic but speaking of educational places within the park for school usage, has anyone ever seen the one they have in the zoo open? It's located just after the bridge where you can buy food from the machine things to give to the ducks (or birds?) whilst walking down to the Dino Trail.
Sorry slightly off topic but I can answer this question. It does get used in the week by school trips. My son went on one a few weeks back, they learn about forces/roller coasters. They also have some small animals in there I was told (according to my 9 year old).
Looking back from my photos from 2016/17 look how good the building looked still back then.
It does look like the lift hill in pieces
That’s what we thought , unfortunately due to the nature of the path the train is using we couldn’t get a clearer picture as it was a surprise to see but this to me shows there’s work going on inside of the building. What the future looks like no one can know.

So is it still like that inside?

I doubt it as many parts of the theming will have been removed and auctioned off and things like that
Or have been left to rot in there
