2013 Opening Times and Prices
Permalink  

Ok, so we dont have much info yet, but we do have the annual pass prices for this year!

Adults £75.50, Child £71.50 and Concessions £61.50

Sh!t a brick Pleasurewood, that is SO expensive. These are supposed to be good value, but if the entry fee is £20, you would have to visit 4 times to ge your moneys worth, and that's just too much to ask to get value out of it.

At the end of the day, the more of these they sell, the better, regardless of the price. Its around £300 for 2 adults and 2 children! They clearly haven't thought this trhough at all....These should be around the £50 mark for PWH, with a £120 family ticket.

I agree.

Crealy Adventure parks in Devon and Cornwall have an annual pass for £52 which includes entry to both parks and 10% off food on park. They advertise it as £1 a week and also offer a direct debit option to pay for it. Now that is great value and PWH should be looking at this.

I would see PWH AP at £50 and including discounts on food, P2P attractions and merchandise as good value and the uptake would increase no doubt.

Way to much PWH.

It's weird, because PWH is actually one the cheapest theme parks in Country with the standard entry fee only £18 (last year), yet the annual pass is insanely over priced. It just doesn't represent value for money at at all, and that is the biggest/only selling point for these passes.

I'm sure we went through all this last season?

To have ZERO added benefits ie Free LL or Go Karts per visit or a free ice cream per visit is shocking. I simply would not even begin to consider buying two adult and a child tkt, which is sad given we had one back in 2009-ish.

The website is slowly being updated, and the prices for this year are out. They've gone up £1 to £19, but this year you can actually save money by buying tickets online, a whole £1!

Opening times have also been updated. Small gripe, but when info pages like them have been updated, I wish they would make it clear, by having the title "2013 opening times" etc.

Also no new park map, yet.

Bit annoying that a season pass costs £75.50 this year, it's blooming expensive and there are no perks from it.

They did announce this morning that the online tickets are open which is a bonus. I know it's only £1 but it's a step in the right direction.

Just realised, PWH opening is on 29th March, Good Friday!

Is that not dangerous, opening up for the year on a busy day? Most other parks will open the weekend before to iron out any problems and get everything ready and prepared...

That's a very good start, long may it continue ;)

In all seriouness, adding the Labyrinth and Go-Karts could do wonders for the sales.

 Well done PWH, Giving season pass holders free stuff, keep it up!

 

Martyn, agree with the idea of adding go-karts onto season passes, would increase sales dramatically.

Actually you've quoted LWV's online price. It's £28 for adult and £23 for between 1.0-1.3m and £5 for under 1.0m.

I know there is a lot for kids to do at PWH, but I think there should be a bigger gap between the child and adult price

I just think PWH should get away from this child and adult wording. Have prices based on age or height but don't use those terms; it just causes people to complain that a 12 year old is classed as an adult!

I agree the wording need changing if the current price structure remains.

However I still maintain entry should be on height not age. Height defines what you can and can't do on park.

On that price comparison above, I think Fantasy Island is the best value park out there. £22 adult wristband is awesome.

£19 an adult for the day seems like a reasonable price. (round it up to 20)
I do think perhaps there should be a different price for under 16s.
So you've got a price for 3-11 11- 16 and then 16+

It only gets expensive if you've got a full family, but I still think it's good value as there is something for everyone.


Pleasure Beach is certainly over priced I think.

Now Camelot has gone, the biggest rip off in the UK is Lightwater Valley, £28 is a joke!

Haven't they gone up a lot this season? They decided that if people want to come on the gate they have to pay £8.50 more than booking online. Isn't their online price similar to last year's gate price?

I cannot believe more hasn't been made of LWV's price increases.

Just £2 short of Flamingoland with its Zoo and another three new rides this year. Plus they are now charging for under 1m guests. But its OK 'cos they don't charge for parking ;)

Thought I would let you guys know before I start to really drive the season pass marketing after the Birthday: If you purchase (or have purchased) a Season Pass for Pleasurewood Hills 2013, you will now benefit from receiving FREE ENTRY to any of Looping's other parks. Whoop! :)

That's great news and hopefully that perk will continue if they purchase some other UK attractions.
