I didn't get round to trying the laminate flooring as it would have made the arena too heavy.
Had a rethink about how to park the lid in the open position.
Though the support held the lid it was a bit of a stretch to reach the park position because you had to open it far enough for the majority of the weight to be passed the hinges so gravity kept it up.
I was also worried if someone bumped into it it could fall down and chop a few hands off.
So I have come up with a simple support that clips to the handle and in the up position supports the weight of the lid which is far less open.
Here in down position:
