Yeah, its good. Couple of issues though:

Too much going on, its too slow to navigate.
Under 'Attractions' they have:

Sea Lion Show
Parrot Show
Laser Labyrinth
Sean Alexander

Souldn't that say Magic Show, just having someone's name is a bit odd....

Also, the picture at the top of the page is too big, shouldn't need to scroll down to get to info because of uber large header.

And why is the home page (www.pleasurewoodhills.com), the thrill ride section? Surely it be the actual home page?

On the 'access statement' page, the phone number for buses is First Bus, yet the website is for Anglian. (Very minor, but as i work for First i notice these things!)

On the whole, much much better. The ride detail is excellent - it even makes Fairytail Fantasy look good!!

on the whole it is much better... things are too big though..... on the home page why is the wipeout picture sooooooooooooooo big ??

love the shot of the pony express where it use to live !! lol, shame no proper pics of jolly or the paintjob on thunderstruck..... the wavebreaker pictre does show pics of both lanes with customers on...

Anglian buses 601 stops at Tesco 6 days a week, that should be under buses too IMO

I like it overall yet things are a bit big like the opening times page etc..

SO much better than the old site. Solid, functional and arguably better than some of the larger UK park sites... A massive improvement and puts PWH in a great light.

I like the new map however i think it would look better if the larger attractions were depicted bigger than they actually are as they don't stand out much. also Timber falls is still yellow.

At least Jolly Roger is drawn on it though xD

Laurence said the map couldn't properly be changed (i.e. new style) as it all happened too close to the time of printing. Hopefully next season will have a new and improved map.

i must say that the new website is very, very good. I really hope it get's updated with new photos and videos and not left like the old site was. I also hope that the styling and formatting doesn't get untidy with updates like the old site did. It looks solid and attractive and it really does make the park look brilliant. That will bring in a lot of new punters.

I LOVE the website... it's very modern, I also love it's featured EVERY single ride... even down to Fairytale. Very happy.

The little added drawings on the park map are cute!

Still find it odd that Woody's Flying School isn't on the map again, yet the Woodycoptors are?!

The videos do not work either when you click on individual attractions..... go karts displays "new pleasurewood hills" stickers still in picture and they do anyway don't they ?

 

LOL love the old stock photo of the chairlift from when the clown slide use to be where they have put it back for 2012......

The videos which don't work are probably currently missing. I'm sure they will be added during the season when the rides are open.

The videos bit on the rides section of the main website have been updated... although some of them have the Jolly Roger as the video..... fireball and TT do...

Plus I so hope that the new pictures of TT will replace the old ones on the website....

^looks like a major muck up on uploading the videos:

Enigma, Fireball, Tide Traveler, Shiver m Timbers, Wave Breaker, Le Mans, Chairlifts, sky hooks, Dodgems, Kite Flyer, Vetran Cars, Balloon Rays and Laser Labrinth all have the jolly roger video

and Tales of the coast, The Lighthouse, Pleasurewood Ponies, Flying Elephants, Mini Pirateship, Mini Twister, Woody Copters and Fairytale Fantasy all have the mac millian day montage!

Better than not having any video...

Just put them there as holding videos until we get designated ones for the ride.

I was checking out the official site today. It's great that it's been updated with 2013's attractions although some of the pages don't seem to work - for example the Pedalo page and the Woody's tea cups page are empty. What is odd though is the ride photography - the veteran cars photos are of two adults on the ride and the woody copters has a photo of a woman posing at the door - these are mighty strange.

I know the website is being redone next year so I would imagine this is in hand but surely you have some photos of kids enjoying the kids' rides?
