Hi, I'm Kim, 27 from Great Yarmouth; A "would-be" adrenaline junkie, who, unfortunately, has found out her four year old doesn't seem to like rides that go too high. Or too fast. Or god forbid, backwards. Never had a chance to try Wipeout. :( Went to PWH every year until I moved away in 2004, and just started going back this year.

(My four year old is also terrified of Woody... He'll get teased about this when he's older)

Welcome to the forum Kim!

If you really want your boy to get into rides, you'll just have to be patient. I was like that with my ex's younger brother, we kept taking him to PWH, yet he would never go on anything worthwhile. But I guess one year he just got fed up of us going on at him, so he plucked up the courage and went on Enigma... my hard work paid off!

Same with my niece, in 2008 she wouldn't go on the Tidal Wave, yet in 2011 she went on Wipeout! And since we've taken her to Alton Towers where she didn't twice about going on anything!

Anyway, again, welcome to the forum, its been a while since we've had a new member, I hope you stick around!

Thank you, Martyn! :)

He made the mistake of dragging me straight onto Shiver m'Timbers in April... First ride. About half way through, he began begging to get off. :D

Thanks again for the welcome! Provided I don't forget the camera, I'll provide a trip report tomorrow.

Ah, didn't see this.

I'm new if you've not noticed. Long time lurker first time poster.
I'm a local chap. As a kid we visited PWH at least once a year, I use to collected the maps, unfortunately no long have them :( but I did find while sorting out my junk an old PWH 'autograph book'
I'm afraid I not been a visitor to the park for about 8 years, the last time wasn't a great experience and the park looked poorly. So pleased over the past few years it's improved so much. I'm hearing a lot of good things, word of mouth is positive and im really keen to return this year if I can drag someone along, no doubt I'll come up alone in the end, no one will notice. :P

I'm the same age as the park, for what it's worth... well, almost ;)

Welcome Bubbles!

One question, how come you browsed the forums for a while before posting? I ask because there are SO many members that do that, and it puzzles me.

Found the site while just looking for PHW info, was planning a to pop up this easter but decided to wait until later in the year.
But after reading pretty much everything on the forum I wanted to respond to everything. lol

BaggyWorld, GB1, parfitt78, Hyak2, dannyw2, JakeHillyard, SW, theflamingbrick, Lozza89, Carioca, blummameplata, appapelusnede, GewWemeFlolla, clerabsbeauro - all members who I seem to regularly see online, yet none of them have a single post between them!

We have 226 registered members, yet 167 of them haven't posted at al.... spambots maybe? Some of the user names are a bit strange....

A few months ago I trialled a Facebook sign in option on the board and i noticed a few suspicious 'members' signrd up with very odd names and locations. I have since disabled that option and the recent sign ups all seem fairly legit. I think a couple of those you mentioned are bots.

I see no one has introduced themselves on here for a while, but I’m a newbie, so figured I should! I’m Kate, 25 years old, from Thetford. Pleasurewood Hills was my first theme park and I visited every year with my parents and three older brothers until I was about 12. I’ve remained a massive theme park lover, visiting all the major parks in Orlando, Florida and Disneyland Paris, after graduating from PWH to Thorpe Park and Alton Towers in my teens!

Many brilliant memories of summers spent around Lowestoft and Yarmouth have remained dormant in my memory until I met my partner last year and decided to indulged his love of the old Haunted House ride at Alton Towers last Christmas, when I bought him Michael Eley’s book about the building of the ride. Naturally, for his birthday I took it a stage further, managing to get a signed copy of John Wardley (the man behind Nemesis, Saw, The Swarm, The Smiler, etc.)’s autobiography, before he treated himself to a book called ‘Tales from the Towers: The Unofficial Story Behind Alton Towers, Britain's Most Popular Theme Park’ this summer. What should be mentioned in the foreword of this book? But my little theme park of childhood memories off the Suffolk coast!  

And so started a journey into nostalgia that led me here, and back to Woody bear’s home for the first time in 13 years!

Welcome Kate, it's nice to have a new face on the board.

That was nice of us Bubbles, maybe that's the key to have members stick around. I apologise and will offer you a belated welcome. So welcome!

It used to feel like that for me too. That guys hits the nail on the head. I think I'll get that book and have a gander. Did you read John Wardley that you got for your partner Kate? There's some local stuff in there too when he was working as a lad in Gt Yarmouth.

I haven't read the whole book, but my other half did read most of it to me when he was going through it - including John's experience in Yarmouth, and how displeased his father was that he loved it so much! laughing

Don't suppose anyone has written a book on PWH yet? (not that this site isn't comprehensive enough... but I do love books!)
