"We are working within the physical distancing guidelines as outlined by the Scottish Government, as well as introducing additional hand sanitising stations located throughout the park and Amazonia and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

"There will be some modifications when you come back to visit us and we’d ask that you bear with us during this period of change and adjustment to allow us to give you the fantastic day out you would usually experience at Scotland’s Theme Park."

The park was placed into administration in April following years of financial struggle and Covid-19 preventing visitors from coming to the park.

The theme park, which was opened back in 1996, has over 40 attractions including four rollercoasters and two water rides and employed staff from across Central Scotland.

Workers, many of whom had worked for M&D's for a number of years, were let go at the time of administration.
