PWH missed out on the Social Media Brass Ring Award to Calgary Stampede. Well done for getting nominated though, great achievement!

Disappointing.

Had my xmas card from the hills today via email/pdf !!! cool

hehehe they stopped sending me a card 3 years ago.. ;)

Took a drive up around 2.50pm today - gates were shut and one flag and flag pole left up !

Wow, great publicity to have victories for 'best value' and 'most improved' them park in the UK (and second in the world!), as well as the 2nd best new ride in the UK (behind the obvious 1st place).

Hopefully the good results continue next year and are reflected in attendance figures!

It's a great testament to the strides PWH have taken especially this last season which has been markedly different in terms of how things are done at the park. There is certainly more focus on customer experience than there has been in recent years and that shows in TA scores and the vast improvements on the social media side if things.

PWH just Facebooked a post saying that 2014 will be there biggest year to date. After 2013 being as awesome as it was I think we have a lot to be excited about next year.

Merry Christmas everyone, much love to you all.

to be precise the post says they are aiming to have their best season yet

I would take a guess as some more additions/improvements to hobs over the winter perhaps.

not sure this was ever posted but some interesting facts in this piece....

The freehold at Pleasurewood Hills went under the hammer at Andrew Scott Robertson auctioneers in London yesterday( sep 24th ) but its asking price was not met. It is hoped for further interest in the coming days.

The site, between Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth, is currently let to Pleasurewood Hills Ltd – part of global private equity investment firm HIG – on a 25-year lease until May 2025 at an annual rent of around £140,000, just over half of which is payable to Waveney District Council under a 99-year lease agreed in 1980.

General manager Alexis Camelin said: “Pleasurewood Hills is not for sale as a business nor is it for sale as a theme park. The investment opportunity presented by the sale of the free hold and the takeover of the head lease (lease hold) reside in the rent payable by Pleasurewood Hills to the landlord. Since the Looping Holding Group took over in 2011, heavy investment has taken place in refurbishment and in numerous new attractions.

“This is only a start with further investment and new rides being part of the 2013/14 winter plan, in time ready for the 2014 season.”

The theme park celebrated its 30th anniversary this year, and has recently completed a turnaround in finances from a £660,480 loss to £67,222 profit.

It's a bloody incredible feat of business to take the park from a £600k loss to a £60k profit in literally about 2 seasons.

It makes me happy to know the place is in damn good hands, who know what they are doing and get it to make money. If it carried on in the vein of the loss-making years we probably wouldn't have a park anymore.

I wonder how these profits are compared to similar parks?

FOI the other parks and see
