Comparing that ride with our pony trek makes me feel rather dissapointed i must say.

Thing is its not that amazing in terms of theming, it's mainly the neat landscaping that makes it look good. And the seamless grass beneath the track. The patches of grey gravel on PP Dint look nice really.

Yes, they could have / could do a lot more with the theming on the ride, so after paying the money you do to get in, you have some half decent rides which are half decently themed at best.

Here's another Pony rail ride that puts Pleasurewood's to shame:



This one is at Twinlakes.

Yep Pleasurewood's has no imagination. Same theme as at Loudoun but with a bit of adjustment could be really nice. At moment I think it looks a bit messy.

how is the Pony Rail now?
Could be a nice opportunity to do some nice landscaping with plants/hedges etc as well as theming - then it would be more inviting and could really add to the scenery of the park. smile

Also, is the signage the same for that ride?

I think it's still the same as last year. The theming with the hay just looks messy. It could look fantastic but doesn't, it is a great kids ride though. Photo needs updating on website though as its the photo from Loudoun.

One thing I noticed when I visited is the hay is now gone which is good imo as it looked messy. Here's a video:

yeh could be a really exciting thing tow work on for PWH - so much could be added to the scenery to make it look exciting - rather than just soil

We totally understand it needs more 'gardening' - There so many 'bigger' things to bring back up to standard first though. It's albout priorities. The ride looks basic, agreed. - But it looks clean and new and serves it's purpose for now.

On a different note, remember how the Vet Car's track used to look when they first installed that? Very similar to what the Ponies look like now. Just give us 28 years and we'll be sorted. (Joke!) ;)

So now that Hobs Pit is up and running and the 30th aniversary is complete, what are the priorities for the park?

Well the current priority would surely be planning and organisation of Pleasurewood Chills - with 2014 coming behind that.
