Trip report Sunday 30th June


Popped up as had some freebies and the weather was nice. Car park not majorly full to be honest. We arrived at midday...

Sign saying TTT was out was on display

Went on Pirate Ship god it judders and such a shame it doesn't swing much anymore either  ;-(

Did fireball twice.... no need to add anything there

Saw Sean's show it was good but very warm in there. Seemed to be only one show at 2pm

Went on Hobs Pit - we did wait around 30 minutes I think...  Its different that's for sure...a employee told me it is to rival Nemesis Sub Terra...  My friend left Hobs being disappointed with the attraction and I have mixed thoughts on it.

Wanted a Mr Whippy ice cream but the unit was shut as was the other ice cream unit next to woody copters... only two units open were Christine's which was busy and parrot Ices so had to have a scoop rather  than a whippy.

Burger joint had doors shut saying closed around about 3pm or it may have been earlier...

Log Flume was busy

TidalWave too with just one lane open.

First time on chair lift for a few years...awful wait time and every other seat in use - this can either be down to safety or simply staff as there was just one member each end...

Hungry Bears area looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO painful but then I always say that.

Wipeout had last two cars sealed off

TTT out as we know

Sealions were very good and it was a nice little spot

Have taken some photos and will try and get them up soon. Was handed a return voucher for £13.50 on way out.

Staff were pleased when the pre recorded wipeout beach fm tape stopped !!!

Heart FM were there in two branded vehicles parked in the car park but all their staff were in plain clothes enjoying a day out

All staff were very pleasant and chatty

 

( update 2/7 - will aim to get photos on today hopefully )

 

Photos up at last...

 

They show a former piece of Main Street laying next to Wipeout - how random

The Hungry Bears Site

The only place to get the Whippy we wanted

The lake with one of the boats having water in it

The old raft that you use to pull over by hand/rope

A view of the faded go kart sign and area and another closed kiosk

Sean show time with the LGB branding - which is still in a lot of places around the park

The piece of land next to Wipeout which use to house the playground / soccer unit

The big train in operation

The view down to dodgems/rattlesnake as taken by hungry bear site

Hi Coolskin, I would like to apologize. I recieved our first 'negative' comment really about HoBs PiT via Facebook yesterday too. After some digging, it appears on Sunday (I was away) we had a large number of 'No-Shows' so we were pretty thin on the ground with team members - Hence some of the actors were pulled off HoBs PiT to man some of the other attractions. This is the first time this has happened.

In effect, the HoBs PiT you experienced wasn't 100% our full offering. For this reason, I would like to offer a couple of complimentary tickets for another visit during the Summer. - Just email me: ben@pleasurewoodhills.com so we can arrange.

Apologies again,

Ben :)

It is a shame Hobs relies on 'actors' I think that can be a negative.

For the very reasons that's been discussed. Be cheaper to run if it wasn't do dependent of 'actors' I mean seven is a lot!!
