If you listen to the webcast in regards to the result presentation for Ardent at the end the floor is opened up to questions where an investor asks why there was no investment planned for the theme parks this year to which Greg Shaw stated that new rides and what not are listed under 'routine capex' which is at $8million. Yes they are spending money.. wipeout is a 1.6 million refurb which leaves other money in the kit for the planned new rides for this year.
If you look over at Village in the same period they are only spending $9million across 3 parks.
