Advantages: none

Disadvantages: biohazards, passive smoking, rotten timbers, and poor hygiene at food areas.

THE SOONER THIS PLACE IS SHUTDOWN THE SAFER IT WILL BE FOR CHILDREN. The timbers are rotten in many areas including one on the seating benches near to the entrance (which incidentally are not bolted down to the floor, so heavy people sitting on the edge tip the bench's when other get off). The rides are under staffed, so that long delays occur which upsets the children. The toilets smell of urine, which isn't a one off - its clear there are cut backs in sanitation, which is inexcusable. Staff fobbed us of when we told them. Not even the single soap dispenser had any soap in it; the urinals did not seemed to have been auto flushed for a very long time. No warning that the water may scald you when you wash! The food areas were, as others have posted comments - very poor. The rain gutters have 18" wild flowers growing in them (these don't just pop up overnight!) which evidence my point - its not maintained. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS PARK GUESTS WERE ALLOWED TO SMOKE, IF I WAS RUNNING THE PARK I WOULD MAKE IT ZERO SMOKING POLICY FOR THE SAKE OF CHILDRENS HEALTH IN PASSIVE SMOKING. You would queue up for a ride only to be told that your child wasn't quite tall enough. A simple painted marker as you approach the ride so you can measure your Childs height would cost next to nothing to implement. There are occasional markers for height but these are only visible once you get towards the front of a queue - pointless! There was an aeroplane ride, which went round - no music - total silence. What would it cost to play some music as they went round? I feel the children have been duped, put at risk with biohazards, passive smoking, rotten timbers, and poor hygiene at food areas. Please I beg of you don't go there otherwise YOU WILL regret. If anyone feels the same, please write to the local authorises so that some action can be taken to force improvements. I feel like demanding my money (£48) back and using it to employ a couple of contract cleaners for an hour to clean the toilets.

Summary: It "could" be made a great place - but it isn't
