I'll start by saying thanks to a BOGOF voucher my daughter and i got in for £16.50 - brilliant value.
One or two points from the trip:
+Enigma looking very tired considering it was only painted a few years ago. Would benefit greatly from being placed elsewhere on the park, and of course with at least one more train. A very slow moving queue, but still IMO a decent ride.
+Pirate Ships looks great, and gives a better ride.
+Timber Falls queue themeing is wonderful. Like the chainsaw buzzing in the background, nice touch.
+The Go-Kart 'station' and area in general needs a lick or two of paint.
+Like the painted cars on Fairytail, very nice, but nothing done inside sadly.
Walking about today on what was a steady, not packed day attendence wise you really notice the 'bare' areas of the park. With this in mind i would love to see a ride where the space net was, and one opposite moving Kite Flyer to opposite Wipeout. And a tower ride where the Woody Flyers are now. Also an Enigma relocation would be an idea to create a decent vibrant atmosphere in these areas.
Thank goodness the SITG tunnel is to be sorted. It is shocking at the mo!
Good day and a reminder of how much there is to do for little ones at PWH.

This chainsaw buzzing, is that some sound effect played on some speakers?
Glad you had a good day. It is good that they're improving little bits, but there are just too many shabby areas of the park to just do little bits every now and then. And they need more than just paint to make it look better!
Wow, first pics!! I am imposing an Unofficial Pleasurewood rule that when you visit you must take photos of areas of general forum interest and then post them.
That queueline is looking great, well done PWH, what was once a very shabby looking ride is looking quite remarkable!
I regret thinking Pleasurewood were lazy during this season- that ride now looks great! I havn't been since 2006/07 so it will be a massive difference for me! I havn't seen any of the other new theming parts so that will be interesting?
I am going in either May or August- what sites are of specific forum interest?
And UP where did you get the photo? Have you been? Could you do a Trip Reportid you have. Reece was going to do one, but he seems to have disappeared!
Once again Pleasurewood well done on your work- it's not very often we praise you, but I think it is deserved this time round! There seems to be a bit of a theme of re sprucing old rides- Timber Falls has had a pretty major make over and there has been work on Enigma and there is current work on SING. This is all good news, but new rides aswell now please.
I do have hope- the new manager commented on the amount of space that was in the park?

That does actually look very good! I actually cant wait to see it in person now, I'm impressed Pleasurewood.
Like Josh said, a ride that looked a state, and very temporary, now looks like a proper permanent ride! (Albeit this pic is of one angle, need to see more before getting over excited!lol)
I have to admit, that photo alone doesn't really do the new queue area any justice. I was really impressed, its certainly of the quality of Wipeout's styling.
i think they should put storylines behind the rides. wipeout and timber falls are really well themed and it would be great if we had a story for them. the currentr description for timber falls is: What goes up must come plunging down... a turbulent, white water, white knuckle ride guaranteed to make a splash with the bravest adventurers! this isn't bad it does "sell the ride" but it would be great if it was like: Follow the journey of the logs at Pleasurewood logging co. as they float down the great canadien rivers but watch out cos the rivers arn't allways calm. so hop aboard for this wet and wild adventure. You'll suree get a soakin'.
