They've been busy on Twitter lately:


‘Opening for 2011! The website is updated ready for the new season! www.pleasurewoodhills.com for updates new events, rides and attractions ’



‘Who would like to have their birthday party at Pleasurewood hills?! Woody is ready to help you cut your cake.’



‘Stitch may be on his way back for Halloween this year with some other scary friends’

What a poor excuse of a post from Pleasurewood! I try not to be so negative - but how can you NOT be. It's absolutely ridiculous. This new management shake-up is just a duplicate of the four year fiasco we had with CdA - delayed site updates, virtually no provisions for replacing/installing new rides and not listening to it's market.

Reiterating the words of Martyn too, the website and map situation is ridiculous - they still think Halloween is in a few weeks' time. I'd have expected some sort of acuity in the takeover. Perhaps it's so 'back-end' that we'll continue to see the same 'front of house' situation in the coming years. If I wanted to play laser tag, I'd go to the Quasar centres in Yarmouth or Norwich - I agree an investment is brilliant, but not this. An unnecessary waste of money!

C'mon HIG show us what you can really do?...

i just asked for more pics over on Twitter and got this response.




‘@rawandpeace That is actually the job of this afternoon! So more pics will be up soon’


So look forward to then! Yay!

I have a few questions that I'd like someone to ask Pleasurewood on their Twitter, if they wouldn't mind ;)

- Why hasn't there been any investment in new rides in the last few years? I, like many other people thought the addition of Wipeout of was the start of a new era for Pleasurewood, yet since Wipeout, we haven't seen a single new ride, that makes it 1 new ride since 2006, thats one new ride in 6 seasons, is that really good enough?

- Whats going on with Enigma? Wipeout is a high quality ride, and so is Timber Falls (since the revamp), so why are you letting Enigma just rot away? The ride is starting to look horrible again, and only using one train results in ridiculous queues, and unhappy guests. If the money and effort was put in to it, like it was with Timber Falls, Enigma could be another high quality attraction for the park.

- Whats the deal with Snake in the Grass' tunnel? Why was the original tunnel removed, and why has it been replace with a much smaller, tin tunnel? I agree that the old tunnel had become a little worn down, but this new tunnel doesn't even cover the crest of the hill, so it will always be letting light in, and why hasn't it been themed like the old tunnel?

Twitter has a character limit but I'll see if I can private message them and see what they say.

In response to the Nature Trail question:


‘@rawandpeace I don't think that's happening anymore. Not too sure why... We have a new laser labyrinth coming this year though! Fun times!’


They don't sound too sure but it doesn't sound positive :(

They've put a few pics up of all the staff training etc:



All I have to say to that is, omg. That lady on left with black hair, white top, she used to be the catering manager before CdA took over, you know when the catering at the park completely sucked? When you'd rather eat dog food than the food they had on offer!!

I so hope she has a different job in a different department!

New Facebook is up:

The new PWH FB is great. If they continue as they are it'll be up there with LWVs efforts.

They appear to be aware of the need for new investment, and seem hopeful of developments 'soon'........

So which one of you guys is John Mcclane? RE Facebook account asking all the questions :)

Haha, I thought it was you! It's good that they're responding to all the questions though!
