Personally, I think this would be a fantastic thrill ride for Pleasurewood:



That would sit perfecttly on that empty field between Thundercrap and the Sea Lion Show.

i was at Blackpool pleasure beach on sunday and i went on all the big rides and coasters however i thought two of the best rides were gold mine and river caves . each are heavily theamed Gold mine was a small track ride while river caves was a boat ride like tales of the coast. the point that im saying is these two rides werent incredably thrilling but they were so well themed that they were worth going on and i found them rather enjoyable.

Now that would be a perfect thrilling ride/coaster for pleasurewood!

I hear pualtons are having planning issues with there mwga disko the edge mabey PWH could buy it if the planning is not successful wat do you think?

Yes they're having problems, but their worst case scenario is that they have to relocate it elsewhere in the park. So its not going to be up for sale.

And I wouldn't want to see one of them at Pleasurewood, YAWN.

Can come in quite a big high capacity version aswell.  This sort of size would be unnecessary for PWH but interesting nonetheless

^ Yes and no. For example Wipeout looks awsome with its own theme, and SNITG is ok too. But I like the whole Maritime theme, its unique.

And its not over the top either. The only thing that they've themed in the park is the Main Street and Woody's clothes.

Most of the rides just tend to fit in with the theme, like the Pirate Ship, Helter Skelter, Tales of the Coast, Sea Lion Show, Timber Falls.

However, ironically, most rides dont actually fit in with the maritime, yet they dont stick out either, like Enigma, Fireball, Thunderstruck, Circus Show, Miniature Railway, Annie Oakley Railway.

See, in general its just a normal, nice, well landscaped park, with a 'hint' of maritime about it.

An Intamin Halfpipe/Surfrider would be awsome at Pleasurewood. It would be unique to the UK too.

^ Yes it was mentioned that they haven't finished with it just yet.

" the continued investment in the park is BEGINNING to show some results!". This sounds quite optimistic to me that there is still quite alot more planned for Pleasurewood in the future...

The thing is though, you have to continue to invest in any business, so they have to invest more anyway. They said when they purchased the park they wanted to change the image of it, and they have done that. It is better than when they first bought it.

The park now has top quality food outlets serving top quality food, a fantastic new website and marketing design, and just in general a better feel to it. Its much more like a proper theme park nowadays, instead of the fair ground it used to be.

And lets not be to harsh guys on them, it has been quite a difficult year financial wise for everybody so you can't blame a small park for not adding a massive, major attraction just yet and of course there are loads of planning issues to consider.

But Pleasurewood, like most small parks, had a fantastic year last year. Yet all them extra people that visited last year, dont have a reason to come back.

Yes it is good that they are keeping on top of things so the park doesn't become run down, but that isn't going to bring in the guests, is it? I'm 25, and last year was the first year for as long as I can remember that I didn't visit Pleasurewood, and I wasn't fussed at all. I had no desire at all to go there last year, and I still dont this year, though hopefully I will.

Something for all the family to enjoy, thats what Pleasurewood don't have and need really. A rapids ride/ small coaster would work wonders- particularly in the area where SING is!

sounds good andy, i'll try and squeash some information out of my cousin who works there.

A large skip/container around the rattlesnake however.

Hopefully they were putting the 'Dodgy Dodgems' in there

 

That area is pathetic compared to the rest of the park. If they spruced that area up a bit, we may all feel a bit better about the whole park in general.

Altgough its great that they re-doing areas its still not a new ride is it.

I have a sugesstion i think Oskar will agree. ther is a small park in denmark called farup sommerland. i went there 5 years ago. when i went it was a family park which had a wooden coaster, madgic mouse , runaway mine train, log flume and rapids the park back then was very similar to pwh since then i have not been back however i know they installed a lim launched coaster called lynet this has transformed the park into a thrill park rather than a family one i think pwh still has this rather family friendly feel even though there is wipeout.  so i think one more big coaster could turn pwh from a small family park to a medium thrill park. i know we have descussed a new roller coaster many a time but i wanted to put something into a recent situation.

I think the problem with pwh is that it has a very tacky image.

Here is a list of things which could help it become more proffesonal

replace fairground rides- there are still quite a lot of travaling rides
name change- this is not such a big problem but when you hear the name of a park if you can hear the word "plesure" it sounds very tacky
New leaflet- although i am impressed by the recent leaflets they still dont have a proffesianal feel towards them i think a darker background colour could help. (I have a feeling martyn is not going to be happy about this as he loves the new leaflet(i do aswell but there still are some minor improvements))

Obviously the one we all complain about. USE UP THE SPACE- pwh has tonnes of empty space yet its not using them.

I do realise pwh recently have mad a lot of changes to help them replace the tacky image but i think there is still a lot of work to be done.

good points that the park has done

mellow yellow retheme
park tidy up
main street
entrance
leaflet/map

i know a lot of people will disagree with what i put so feel free to adress as much anger towards me as you think is neccasary.

ps I love the new leflet/map but i think even martyn will agree some minor improvements still need to be done.
