God knows what that is, but it looks very old. There's lots of steel beams with a small frame at one end....

And yes it looks like the "station" has been taken down... nice paint work on the train tii, I wonder if it's being removed as per the rumour the other year?

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Here it is for those that don't have Facebook:

Yeh the paintwork looks fab, was done in October 2014 for the 2014 chills week...

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Going by all the similar looking parts, I'm thinking some kind of flat, like an Enterprise (nope, don't even go there!)

I hope I'm wrong though, as it looks acient!lol

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Been thinking about it, it's either a replacement for the TTT or an addition to the park... Judging by where some of it is I say it's going to be going on the former cine180 site and could potentially be a kids coaster....that,enterprise and death slide are the most common ideas on Facebook. I have been looking at enterprises and they are essentially on a lorry are they not so therefore I dont think it is. Whatever it turns out to be it's investment

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

It's not an Enterprise, and I really don't think it's a kids coaster either (unfortunately).

It may well be in that location as it's heading to the maintenance area? Who knows, let's just hope they so a good job with repainting it (like they normally do).

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Does look like it had a good life already.

Doesn't look like an Enterprise sadly, i don't recall them having that frame work.
The old cin80 could be it's destination, we were told that the kiddies plane ride would be moved to the kiddie aria so that's a possibility.

It could be the frame work for a kids coaster i suppose.

Maybe the only new attraction for the year.

Looks a bit like the outside frame of a Waltzer ride, we need to see more of the ride.

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Waltzer has also appeared online as a suggestion. Time will tell

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Cool, don't mind a Waltzer if that's what it turns out to be.
I remember the one they use to have stuck in the fort fun aria, spent most of the day riding that once lol

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

If it's a Waltzer, I'll cry. PWH isn't a dumping ground for fair rides anymore.

The quality of the additions recently have been top notch, I hope they're not reverting back to old days with this (I know, it's early days yet).

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

I hate Waltzers. Hopefully not something like that.

jo · Enigmatic Expert

the waltzer was the best ride! Obviously it's better to have a modern or more substantial ride/roller coaster but the waltzer was always popular

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Waltzers aren't really theme park rides though. Fair grounds and sea side funfairs, yes, but not theme parks.

I can't even think of any being at an actual park...?

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Had a bike ride through after the gym, sealions were on fine vocal form !!!!

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Don't suppose you're going to do any snooping over the weekend are you coolskin?

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Fireball is and still looks like a fair ground ride, so does Jolly, and Dodgems.
Waltzers are good fun, super popular an a nice little addition. I don't think it is one of them but i wouldn't complain if it was. Plus, you don't have to pay those fairground prices :D

mrbrightside · Exceptionally Expressive

The park is not a fairground though. It's a theme park.

Whilst they have fairgroundy rides in places, they should be working to make them look more permanent alongside adding new, and quality, additions.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Super popular? How can you say that?

jo · Enigmatic Expert

mmm, I guess I can see why it might be seen as a step backwards when perhaps PWH should be investing in something such as roller coaster. Perhaps they weighed up the benefits of fun/excitement vs something else with the available budget/timescale.

Is there any land available/left for one more big roller coaster or did Marble Madness take it?

Jamie · Jolly Talkative

A waltzer could be good if it was decorated correctly, such as removing the fairground pictures, lighting etc and making it look more permanent.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

I like all the mystery surrounding this, it's great! Hopefully the park will post more cryptic pictures. :)

Though the last time this happened it turned out to be the Pony rail!lol

Haha !! getting too old to snoop !!! all looks as was when closed in November 2014 for season end..

however... with the new spine road nearing completion as you come of the A12 which will soon be the A47 there is now a large brown sign advertising the park and then a smaller one on the new roundabout ;-)

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Yeah but you can get a good view in the park from near the sea lion amphitheatre...

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Both Jolly and Fireball have been around for a few years and they've made no effort to make them look permanent or finished. Waltzers are a good filler ride and a nice replacement for the dead TTT. I doubt they had the money to invest in anything fancy this year, they've spent quite a bit of Hobs and MM so maybe they need a quiet spending year.

If they pulled up the go-kart track im sure a coaster would fit there, other than that I can't think of any more space, you wont get one next to the Wave Breaker because of the houses opposite sadly.

But I don't think it's a Waltzer, it's more than likely another kiddies ride. I'm not too fused about new rides this year (other than replacing TTT) id prefer to see some money spend on cosmetic stuff, like Fireball, Jolly, adding another booth to the mini railway, Enigma train or the Rattlesnake tunnel, that kind of thing.

MattyH · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Or finishing the proposed nature trail that had the platform built but never used...

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Nothing to see from the old entrance martyn expect the new gates. With MM que line it prevents you seeing into that part of the park

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

^ Dammit!

Jolly and Fireball are both modern day thrill rides, so as much I'd like to see them being made more permanent, it's not thay much of an issue. Could you imagine them advertising "Waltzers - new for 2015" TWENTYFIFTHTEEN, not 1970!lol

Anyway, most Waltzers havr a wooden setup...
