Funnily enough, if most of those 1.5 million visitors were just "Toilet hogs", why did the queues for the rides drop massively in 2005 and 2006?
I'd suggest that the queues were made up of a lot of riders like yourself, just popped in to go on a couple of rides. These riders make more money per ride than a wristband sale, so without them, you're losing money again. This is all easy stuff though and park management GCSE level (post dumbing down ;) :lol: )

Alternatively it may have been closed to

-To get new rides for Blackpool Pleasurebeach on the cheap
-To sell off rides and make a quick buck
-To encourage more visitors to Blackpool Pleasurebeach
-To release funds that can later be invested on the casino
-It's a political move to increase Blackpool's chance of getting a casino and her chance of having a hand if it does.
Either I'm having a blonde moment or I just don't understand. What to you by 'the attendance figure stopped'? Surely if they are saying that attendance was about 500,000 the attendance figure has not stopped being recorded or did you mean something else?The attendence figures stopped but not anywhere near the figure stated.
