The park was then managed by Bean's brother-in-law, Leonard Thompson, = until=20 the 1970s and then by his son, William Geoffrey Thompson, until his = death in=20 2004. It is now managed by his daughter, Amanda Thompson, who is also = the Managing = Director of=20 Stageworks Worldwide Productions who produce the shows at the park.
