So sad again to see "no horns" signs on the a12 as the trucks arrive today.

Good luck to all in the convoy

 Wow, that's exceptionally long queues for Pleasurewood! Presumably that's just for Hobs Pit or possibly Enigma?

Good footage of the 30th convoy today on BBC look east just now, some of the footage included was from inside the park today.

 

Much smaller piece on ITV Anglia news featuring only Norwich footage.

 

Plus new sign up as you drive out advertising Halloween week and again confirming fireworks is Halloween itself sat 31st oct and not season final day of sun nov 1st

More footage and photos and a full report now released from Archant

www.greatyarmouthmercury.co.uk/news/east_coast_truckers_convoy_celebrates_its_30th_anniversary_1_4214297

Just to clarify the NO HORNS signs only appeared from the new corton roundabout down to harvester roundabout before the rally... did not see them through hopton gorleston or Yarmouth. Also interesting was on my way back around 3.40pm the NO HORNS signs appeared to have been gone and indeed at 5pm they could be heard leaving the park.

My guess is Gunton Hall perhaps objected to the noise before midday ?

There weren't any horn signs anywhere along the A12 before Corton or the A47 as far as Acle from what I could see. I would have thought there would be signs going past James Paget of all places but I didn't see any. 

Does it ever get dark before ride close on the firework nights And PWC? I want to try and get some night rides in if it does.

One sign was at the corton long lane roundabout and one at the Tesco roundabout.

JPH was sign free, hopton roundabout had one sign saying Horns ok going towards Gorleston

It is nearly dark for fireworks at PWH yet there will not be too much time to do so in terms of rides in the dark as they usually close them around 5.15/5.30 for the fireworks at 5.45pm.

The clocks go back nearly a week before season end so we shall have to see !!

I do wish they'd remove all that bunting from Hobs Pit, it's not really in fitting with the rides theme.

Does anyone know if the extra ticket you have to buy for Halloween is free for season passes? I went on carridge 13 last year and it was disappointing, so hopefully they'll do something different with it this year. Area 51 sounds intresting though.

I can only think the reason for the fireworks on the Saturday instead of last day Sunday is due to it being Halloween itself.

From remembrance there was no extreme stuff on last day in 2014 either
