Hampshire, United Kingdom
> Future Development Plans (October 2025): A planning application has been submitted to convert the southern section of the Funland site into 55 new homes. If approved, the Wild Billy's Runaway Mine Train coaster and Beaver Creek (Jungle Splash) log flume — located in the southern section — are earmarked for removal. A planning decision is expected in 2026. The park continues to operate normally while the application is pending. Check before visiting if these are key rides for your family.
