Looking good if you ask me!

And it looks like the awful multi-coloured fence now only has one colour!! Double win!

Yeah, looks great, it'll be good to see it in the flesh. I was never a fan of those multicoloured fences either so go to see them gone too.

They have not painted the actual ride, just the horses.

Are they all back on there and was it open?

That article on the home page suggests that they're going to be removed again for a beauty contest in Yarmouth...

Looks much better with the brown fence!

And as if the Woodycopter is right behind that shop!? I thought it was actually opposite Wipeout, not beside it!

Cant remember where I read it now, but somewhere I read that the Carousel was built 1903.

A quote from a press release at the time on installation: "New Pleasurewood Hills has taken delivery of its latest ride, a replica c.1900 French double deck carousel costing nearly £200,000."

But as nice as a carousel is, I can't help but think a nice second-hand thrill ride would have been a much better use of £200,000!

It is nice, but I think the bigger ones look nicer, though I suppose there's nothing wrong with being different, after all its not every day you see a double decker carousel!
