Jolly roger wouldn't be up yet would it? There might be crane or something up if not, I think I saw something from the a12 and it looked closer to Wipeout than JR is.

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

no its not up yet. probably be end of feb

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Had a run past this evening and I can confirm the tower is now back up ! So well spotted suspect the final erection was today. Although does seem very early thus year....when did I post last year to say it was back up ?

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

25th Feb, in the Jolly Roger topic.

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

thanks josh - so yes a couple of weeks earlier this year

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

But they're opening earlier this year, so it's probably no earlier in comparison.

2016 advertising... printed january this book features the park on page 16 and also features a money off voucher.

2016 prices are out now with a gate ticket at £20.00 for x amount of height, online cheaper

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Maybe we should be suspicious as Enigma graces the advert, could that mean.....

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Hmmm no increase on last year's prices...

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

enigma has often been used though over the years....

PWH have added 4 photos to Facebook showing general winter work around the park:

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

lovely blue sky in the second one

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

PWH have uploaded a rather random photo of a sharks face, with the tag "I spy with my little eye"....

What could this be to do with? Seems a little random, so it must be aimed at something?

Jadam9 · Woody Wannabe

Might've rethemed a ride. God, imagine if it was enigma and they painted it blue.

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

I thought it was to do with the sea lions, but it's a shark??

Maybe the log flume has new shark theme boats?

Or Woody's flying planes have been re-themed flying sharks?

Jadam9 · Woody Wannabe

The log flume needs a retheme soon. But so does basically every ride in the park.

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Log flume had a big refurbishment a couple of years ago.

I've got to defend the park on this one, I think the Log Flume now looks better than it ever has.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Yeah the LF does look pretty neat. Far, far from the worst looking ride on the park.

Jadam9 · Woody Wannabe

Yes it does look very nice

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

log flume itself is fine, but maybe the boats are a bit tired.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

I had another look at this year's map, I can't see anything fishy related at all. Could be do with either the seal show ;) High Dive show, or maybe some added theming for Wipeout.

New mascot maybe to join Woody and the gang - Sharky

TomsTown · Woody Wannabe

Could it be themeing for the Jolly Roger drop tower, As wasn't the seats purple last year? But yet on the map they appear blue :s Unless its just me getting mixed up

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

It's always been like that on the map.

Connor M · Serious Squawker

Timber falls looks fine how it is. I think the seats on JR are purple on the outside but blue on the insides, but I might be wrong.

I think this year is going to be yet another flop.

It's such a shame, when the new owners first took over everything suddenly became sunny like going back to the 80s, money was getting invested and everyone was excited and I truly felt the park was changing..

Now though, It's clear it's just dragging around like it did for many many years. It's such a shame, TOTC could have been re-themed really well instead of demolishing. Tide Traveller NEEDS to be repaired NOW or removed and replaced with another thrill ride such as the enterprise. Enigma NEEDs to be sorted, and so does fireball. The list is still just as big as it has always been, they seem to have done nothing but add pointless attractions no one wanted...

I got the overall impression last year that the park had returned to how it was, shabby and tired. That is NOT the pleasure wood hills we should be seeing.

and the days when they had brilliant shows on in the castle have long gone too... Even Sean Alexander was very good! Such a waste... Not impressed.

Yep it's all fizzled out, they'll put it up for sale again soon i reckon but i hope they just do too much damage in teh mean time.

Like the Waveswinger, but there was no need to pull up TOTC for it. I wonder at what point they thought it would be a good idea? at least we'll have even more space for picnic tables.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

The money they spent on demolishing TotC, and on Hyper Drive, could have been spent on: Rattlesnake, Jolly Roger, Enigma... OR, new stuff that would actually bring people in, like a Star Flyer for example.

Both the Waveswinger AND Hyper Drive wouldn't have been bad ideas IF they were brought in quietly just to replace their counter parts. None of this "new for 2015/16" etc.
