2008 saw a complete overhaul of the boating lake opposite the Courtyard Tavern and the arrival of a brand new Splash Battle water ride with a pirate theme; aptly named ‘Battle Galleons’. Here TowersTimes has followed the progress of the ride throughout the closed season period until its opening in March.

The path leading to the Haunted Hollow and Flume is currently closed off.
A generator sits by the path to give the lake some light during the night.
