Water zorber things were never gonna look great though...

Geez that looks awful! Pleasurewood really do need this drop tower in order to reverse its fortunes...

Maybe it's down to the operators. I would imagine as this is a temporary addition then it would be down to the owners of the installation? Who knows but I hate temporary metal fencing!!!

Well today I took a trip up to the park for a browse... Very muddy around the perimiter and no one working at all - sounds mad when you think of what is to be done and what CAN be done.... There is no change to fireball so no 10th year birthday present for that... no change to jolly still the same colour....

Scaffolding on the lift hill of enigma - was this there all of 2012 ? I can not remember now. Random blocks of bricks/paving slabs around the place so it seems they are updating some paths..and well yes my ususal moan the awful old entrance site...what a disgrace....something new added to it some plastic chairs... enjoy the pictures....

The first two pics remind me of just how much space they DO have and how these use to be full of cars and known as the overflow car park - especially on firework nights

Well, it's safe to say that Enigma is only ever going to be running with one train! What a waste of a unique, decent family coaster.

I count 5 cars there. There should be 6 from the 3 missing trains, so yup, that pretty much confirms it.

"Lets just butcher the other trains to save on parts, sod keeping the ride in good nick, and who cares about the value when we sell it on..."

They might as well send it to the scrap heap now. Such a waste :(

Cost. If they've butchered the other trains to save on buying parts, they obviously dont want to spend money on it.

First post, been lurking for months. But those old Cannonball trains being left to rot there have struck a cord with me. What a waste, fair enough they need to repair what they have, but what will they do when the final train clonks out?

The last time I came was in 2011 (I used to go every year with my parents though - I had a great time, but that was mainly due to the nostalgia probably), but with the way they seem to neglect their rides (Fireball, Pirate Ship, Dodgems and Snake In The Grass in particular, also don't seem to be in as good condition as they should be), I don't know when the next time I go will be.

It'll always be my favourite theme park, but it's convincing others to come and them having a good time which holds me back. Will be watching the progress this season though!

Oh, haven't seen what they've done to the Sky Hooks. When I went there last, they didn't look great. And I was gonna say that Log Flume looked run down in my original post but then remembered that they have put a lot of effort into it with it's current theming (and even when it was Mellow Yellow!). The pictures of Thunderstruck look great, but last time I went it hadn't had the re-paint and, by the time I went to ride it, it wasn't in operation (so I've never been on it).

I guess it's a work in progress. One thing I am excited about (even though the ride isn't really my cup of tea, would have rather they nabbed another thrill ride/coaster) is Moby Dick, I think it's gonna fit in well with the parks nautical theme!

It seems as if things are really developing this season - ok not in terms of thrilling attractions but in terms of attracting families to the park - their bread and butter- things are really shaping up!

LOL, thanks for that coolskin!

Quick question, why do you keep putting your photos in a thread about some new attractions in 2011?
