So apparently Pizza Planet will never re-open.

wonder what they will do with the play equipment?

I do understand the decision, but I think it's a shame DLP has never invested in this restaurant. Our kids liked the chance to eat, play, eat some more and then play again.
The largest part of the day our kids are either walking or waiting, when in DLP. The chance to just play for an hour gives a very welcome break to that walking-and-waiting. There are almost no places to climb, slide or run around (the Pocahontas-playground is more often closed than not and the Pirate-ship also has been closed for a long time).
A lot of other attraction parks I know (in the Netherlands for example the Efteling) have several playgrounds. Just being able to run around and have some fun for an hour or so would be a welcome addition to DLP.

Maybe they will paint the play equipment black and white and call it a star wars play area.

It was a great place to sit and chill in the summer and warm up in the winter.

The food was awful but my kids loved it!! I wasn't overly impressed by it when we went but the kids still talk about it 18months on and considering they are only 5 and 3 it must have left s good impression!!

I must admit from a child's point of view it was fun! I remember playing there as a kid with my younger brother up and down slinky slide and just enjoying a coke! Don't remember awful lot about the food tbh the last time I ate there was 2009 with my son and it was completely empty inside.

We wanted to go back over the years but it's been closed more often than not and I've been warned it isn't worth the money.

I do think more play areas are needed and it seems a shame because it's a great way for the parents to sit eat relax while the kids are entertained. Maybe it'll reopen with a play area in a new theme with a new menu?

the two plusses for the pizza planet play area was that there was plenty of adult seating and it was indoors - shelter from the sun/heat and cold/rain.
