I miss Pleasure Island, & The Boomerang. the first inverting roller coaster I went on :-(

[@eloisehasadream3341]

East Midlands Videography yeah me too, I live right next to it and used to go every year to meet my family that live in New Zealand 😢 And its been set on fire last night too

[@EastMidlandsVideography]

Eloise Has a dream it was the show arena that caught fire. Non of the rides were effected

[@FinAndo69]

There’s one exactly the same called wipeout at pleasurewood hills.

[@EastMidlandsVideography]

Sausage Gaming Of course the old Missile From American Adventure :-)

[@FinAndo69]

East Midlands Videography yeah that’s it

[@josenoya-InspirationNation]

Love it brings back memories, the coaster!

[@sharonhopton5685]

Went on this many times in Pwllheli Butlins. One of the best Coasters out!

[@chriswalden6519]

Me too Sharon wasn't it fabulous! I remember it getting stuck upside down on boxing Day once 🤣

[@sharonhopton5685]

@@chriswalden6519 It certainly was Chris xx

[@roundtheloopandback]

when we went we all got on and there was only enough people to fill it once, so they just kept dropping it in haha must have done about 10 times in one sitting once

[@bobmcdonald7365]

Thank you for solidifying a faded almost imagined most fun experience of my childhood. Your efforts in posting this are extremely appreciated. It was very thoughtful. Wow, it really existed and was great fun to so many. Thank you.

[@psyclonesteve]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@smoothflying]

So strange that that is abandoned now

[@8DZoneMusic]

not anymore, its operating again

[@harryfoley2294]

8D Zone no it’s not

[@8DZoneMusic]

@@harryfoley2294 yes sir it is! although not right now due to COVID-19

[@harryfoley2294]

Oh I thought you were talking about the park, yeah I knew the boomerang was operating but I thought u Meant the park 😂

[@SobatThemePark]

This Boomerang was recycled to Trans Studio Bali and its situated on the top of the mall building

[@fendii.100]

I miss pleasure island so much :(((( So many childhood memories here!!

[@katieflowers282]

I miss it 😭😭😩😩😋

[@denzeltanamal5671]

This reminds me of the Boomerang Roller Coaster in Trans Studio Bali

[@queenclifford6353]

How tight are the restraints on this ride? I've been on one like this before and the bars were very loose.

[@psyclonesteve]

Front Seat and Off Ride !

[@davidjellis]

No finer way to start my day than 'riding' a Boomerang...a headache should complement my bad back perfectly!

[@psyclonesteve]

***** Oh dear ! :-(

[@psyclonesteve]

***** Your probably right, I rode one at Weiner Prater without OHR's and it was pretty comfortable for a Boomerang ! :-)

[@psyclonesteve]

I haven't tried either of them ! :-)

[@davidjellis]

***** I have ridden both but not recently...I rode the Cobra but at its previous location before it got the new trains...and rode the Sidewinder at Hershey but that was 8 years ago...I don't recall it being anything special though.

[@psyclonesteve]

I tell a lie, I have rode sidewinder but can't remember how rough it was ! :-)

[@ItsSimba567]

RIP pleasure island

[@glennfarr7355]

I remember going on that and now it is abandoned

[@steves6982]

Got stuck upside down on this on Christmas day in mid 90s. Had to get taken off by the fire brigade and my face on ITN news. Good Times??

[@xcoasterenthusiast]

When I heard this was closing, I never heard of this park!

[@garyhorsburgh1924]

This coaster was at the Glasgow Garden Festival in 1988. It was sponsored by coca cola. Its probably not the same coaster as this one, but same layout.

[@cxnall1303]

I know I'm late on this, but the coca cola roller itself was moved to American adventure and became Missile. When American adventure shut down it moved to Pleasurewood Hills as Wipeout where it still operates today

[@dac8939]

Went there in 90's on that

[@Faulty720]

People saying they miss it - it's still operating at Pleasurewood hills near Lowestoft. Which IMO is also a seemingly 'at risk' park.

[@harryfoley2294]

TomSee thats not the the actual boomerang

[@Faulty720]

@@harryfoley2294 yeah my mistake got confused with the one from the American adventure

[@harryfoley2294]

TomSee yeah the American adventure one is the one at pleasurewood hills

[@SobatThemePark]

This boomerang relocated into Trans Studio Bali

[@onod32]

we had the same carbon copy of this roller coaster in Indonesia at Trans Studio Cibubur and Trans Studio Bali

[@kitkat70703]

That looks terrifying but i might be going on it today

[@bennewton3560]

You won't be mate because it's not there anymore.

[@adrianszabelski8105]

It's a little kids ride compared to hyperion the tallest megacoaster in Europe on my profile pic

[@zarqaz.z329]

Whoa!!!!😛😛 That's really cool!!.

[@lewis3062]

great to see this as the park has closed.

[@xgamer5619]

I think this is one of tow boomerang in the uk still standing

[@agamer2024.]

Now pleasure island is abandoned and I think this has been removed the other boomerang coaster is wipeout at pleasurewood hills

[@sfsf9831]

A good old vekoma boomerang!

[@msredfox]

First coaster I rode.... shame it's gone...

[@Murtydaking]

It's amazing looks scarier than it is

[@lukebennett1648]

Does this still exist?

[@rockstarsugardoll]

I never got the chance to go on it :(

[@heathersnell59]

Would it be possible to use this video for BBC Look North?

[@psyclonesteve]

Hi, Please feel free to use this video for BBC Look North. It would be great to see it if possible.

[@ashey181]

Is that it?

[@reequine7570]

Im going tmrrow how did u keep hold of the camera? Bc im taking my headcam to vlog?

[@psyclonesteve]

I had a GoPro with chesty harness fitted to me !

[@damocoaster8451]

Wonder where they are going to relocate this RIP PLEASURE ISLAND :(

[@sfsf9831]

@- Violetshine The coaster is being relocated to a new park that is opening towards the end of this year named "Trans Studio Bali". Hope this helps!

[@SobatThemePark]

They relocated into Trans Studio Bali situated on 4 story building

[@itsstaila1599]

I'm going here with my school very soon. I've never actually been on a roller coaster of any type (Not been upside down or backwards for example) I am planning on going on this particular ride, but I'm a whimp when it comes to rides. I'm terrorfied of passing out, and I was wondering if anyone would recommend going on this ride for the first time ever? Could I pass out? Will it be too much to handle? Please get back to me!

[@nannaflipz9398]

I think it is a good one to start with, it was my first upside down ride, btw i was 9, you probably wont pass out, youre strapped in really well so you wont fall

[@itsstaila1599]

+Erin Thornalley Thank you

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

Sadly getting taken down now, gone but not forgotten.

[@SobatThemePark]

interceptor1986 but it’s Boomerang still existed it relocated to Trans Studio Bali located on above of 4 story building

[@thealpha7926]

The oblivion was scary the first time i went on it, i almost fell out of it, i was crying and literally the only thing that kept me in was my knees because i bent them so i wouldn't fall out. But now i love it and still nearly fall but now i go near the edge where i can put me feet where the curve bit is :D Sitting at the back of this is the best, but its scarier because its so high up

[@psyclonesteve]

Scary Ride ! :-)

[@thealpha7926]

***** It really is

[@jessicataylor4528]

I know right that was my first ride and if was as scared as fuck have u been on the gravatron

[@thealpha7926]

Jessica Taylor Yeah i have, i love that ride and its always the first ride i go on lol

[@PeripheralPurity]

Always prefered sitting at the back on this thing, more hill to go down, don't feel like you're going to fall off the edge on the other side... lol

[@holly3812]

Can't believe pleasure island is shutting down in a week😭

[@katieflowers282]

Why did it have to go

[@SobatThemePark]

Katie Flowers dont worry it just moved into Trans Studio Bali

[@willchambers6983]

I been on it!! :o

[@seanandlizzie]

Where is it's new location?

[@SobatThemePark]

seanandlizzie its relocated to Trans Studio Bali

[@charlieskinner6627]

Guys, you do know that this is Wipe Out in Pleasurewood Hills!

[@adamwoodward2003]

Charlie Skinner no its not wipeout is the old vekoma boomerang from American adventure

[@terry141186]

Correct it was called the missile and when American Adventure closed it was sold to pleasurewood hills and became wipeout.

[@adamwoodward2003]

TJ this boomerang was never at american adventure I know this because I live about 10 minutes away from the old american adventure the missile was opened in 1989 and it closed in 2004 then it was moved to pleasure wood hills as wipeout

[@terry141186]

I know I was agreeing with you I live in Nottingham :-)

[@adamwoodward2003]

TJ oh ok sorry!!! 😂😂

[@LazySkeptic23]
