We&#8217;re going to be talking about our thoughts on the future. By all means we understand not everyone will agree but we&#8217;d love to know your thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Before we begin with the fact we would love to see it reopen.\u00a0 We personally think it would benefit Thorpe Park perfectly especially given it&#8217;s the birthday of Thorpe &amp; Loggers this upcoming season. However it doesn&#8217;t seem realistic at all we&#8217;ll see it return for 2019. Thorpe Park do have a lack rides for the <em><strong>&#8220;family<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; audience of course they have a small selection within the same area where Loggers is sat SBNO. With X\u00a0 now Walking Dead and the height has increased it leaves another empty space for family attractions.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d love to believe that an announcement will happen sooner rather than late about the future of Loggers. Going by recent footage and images we&#8217;ve saw from the current site although we\u2019re unsure on the exact time of the video. It&#8217;s very sad how abandoned it really is there&#8217;s trees coming from the troth. Perhaps something can be done to prevent that and reopen it. It will probably cost way more than it&#8217;s worth in reality. But other than a bit of cleaning and getting rid of the leaves and plants. It looks in an okay condition from a non technical point of view.<\/p>\n<p>As we&#8217;ve stated above we\u2019d love to see Loggers return and we&#8217;re completely behind the people who are pushing the matter. It would just be nice to know where it stands and the future. If it&#8217;s going to potentially reopen or be demolished it would be just a better overall situation once an announcement has been made. The not knowing is something which really does frustrate us about SBNO rides. Of course we understand sometimes these situations can&#8217;t be helped whether it&#8217;s through money or other reasons. But Loggers has been sat there doing nothing for almost 4 years now. We really feel it&#8217;s time to be honest to what&#8217;s happening. Thorpe Park is a park we adore there&#8217;s no denying that but we just hope there&#8217;s something said soon.<\/p>\n<p>We do have a feeling that perhaps Thorpe Park aren&#8217;t sure themselves given when Slammer sat SBNO, the same season they announced the end of its life. Yet it&#8217;s been 4 years and nothing has been said there was some teasing across social media late last year.
