An aluminium scaffold tower can be built up to about 14mtrs depending on orientation of scaffold,I suppose with the small amount of scaffold needed to go around iceblast and being able to secure it to each other it's just the boards that may be a problem with the weather

I think they're moving Iceblast to Bowl-A-Drome area. Obviously it will need to be deconstructed from the top down, piece by piece. Scaffolding makes sense.

Iceblast has been took apart to be refurbished,but the rest of it is going to be moved into the dome and have the roof cut to allow the gondola to shoot out,this will happen close season using the equipment that will be bought in to demolish the grand prix,obviously the ground beneath the dome will have to be cut out to allow a concrete slab with steels to be laid to allow the ride to be within health and safety,a giro swing which has been purchased will be put in iceblasts place,as for the river caves it will all be refurbished and returned to use with maybe a few extra things inside,but shhhhhh don't tell anyone I told you👍

I wish they would go back to free entry and pay per ride. I remember going there in the late 80s when I was a wee lass and it was brilliant. I was too short for most of the rides back then but there was loads of other things to do for young kids. In the late 90s I remember going back with my friends, the park was open til late, and there’s something magical about going on the Pepsi Max at night. I’m just so sad to see the park going the way it has. What a shame. 😢

Ice Blast isnt that old compared to the other rides in the park . I don't think a Gyro Swing would fit into the space where Ice Blast is located, i would rather they kept Ice Blast, The Gyro swing will be huge so i think it will be located on where Grand prix was .

Seems someone dont know how to run a park. All maintenance, changes of attraction should de done in winter, when the park is closed. Closed attractions will give the impression of poor management, exept for that an attraction occationally is closed due to technical issues.
