Pleasure Island Vlog August 2016

[@jordantovey8770]

R.I.P Pleasure Island - you will be missed 😩😭

[@erprimojuan1]

what will take its place

[@liamboot9541]

@@erprimojuan1 meant to be another caravan/holiday park even tho there is 2 next door

[@OliviaLouise]

Liam Boot Really? That’s such a waste. I thought for a bit after the park shut someone would buy it but then they started selling everything. Gutted ☹️

[@lukehutchinson4229]

Liam Boot the one next door is taking over

[@hi-wh6jr]

Yes R.I.P

[@lammin675]

I remember being 5 years old and being so excited to go to Pleasure Island was the highlight of the summer :(

[@A_Sturdy_Door]

The fact that this park closed aswell is just sad, it looked amazing

[@liamwright1105]

Went to Pleasure Island yesterday and said "The award for slowest moving train goes to pleasure island". And now I'm watching this again and you said it too haha

[@OliviaLouise]

Unfortunately this park didn’t have a bright future. Such a lovely park where many of my birthdays were spent. Although I did see one of the sweet factory worker animatronics in a sweet shop on the sea front at Skegness. Put a smile on my face knowing that the park hasn’t been forgotten ❤️

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your memories

[@annathurman]

So glad you did a vlog here before it closed brings back a lot of memories from when I was a kid I was always here with my mum and dad xx

[@aaronnash5772]

The shell ride that was there was actually sold to Funland hayling island that are now called Neptune’s fury

Trucker Dale RIP childhood

[@archiesmith43]

Rip it went here in year 6

[@D2Dale]

I went there when I was around 5 or 6 years old

[@janebower9721]

This was my home park and it was so sad to see it go in 2016. I went on the Sunday and it closed on the Thursday. Pleasure island, you will be missed 👑

[@generalnitemare2375]

Anybody else think Kaitlyn is really damn cute?

[@aidanbig8410]

I do

[@thealpha7926]

I love Pleasure Island. The amount of memories i've had from there is amazing. Sadly its closed down now. But yes its an awesome park. The hydro Max is my favouirte ride, then its the pendulous

[@KatyaLeonie]

Wow was not expecting the wave of nostalgia at the Tommy tinkaboo theme

[@abbie2583]

Wish I could take my little boy here, and show him where I spent so many happy childhood days 🥺🩵

[@hannahbrierley6469]

I absolutely loved this place, brings back great memories watching this. I'm 28 now, we used to come many times a year in the holidays when i was at primary school. I remember the smell of the dark ride, it always seemed to quiet in the early noughties. I'd sit on many of the rides and ask if i could "stay on" if there were no queues and they let me. I remember the sea lion show, circus and an indoor animatronic show with a gorilla called billy bob, great times 🥰

[@swb9144]

What a classic vlog thought I'd watch a few older vlogs whilst isolating!!! Sooo much has changed in 5 years 😷

[@epicdiys8840]

Who else is watching this when it’s shut down and is just remembering things and keeps saying oh I remember that this but place closed when I was 10 and went every summer Since I was 2 I really miss this place I used to love this ride

[@SarahJayne1496]

I'm going through all your videos. I remember this being my first ever 'theme park' and I love the tinkaboo ride. It was THE highlight of every family holiday

[@icoaster38]

Finally a vlog from my home park!

Loving all the VLOGstars and the insane amount of VLOGs going up recently.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we aim to please!

[@shadzer12]

So happy you made this video as I have just found it had closed, my childhood is all about this place I'm in bits, least I could see it on a video again

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

No problem at all!

[@letsroamaround2189]

Lee is such an epic person, every time he's in a vlog i'm just happy for the whole week :D

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

He sure is!

[@louiselovesyouall2897]

+Theme Park Worldwide I saw you when I went to alton towers I couldn't believe it ...

[@leewood3432]

Thanks pal :)

[@owenc6961]

I don't understand why this park doesn't get more visitors it looks like an amazing little park. It probably needs some more advertising it probably has the most flats of any park in the uk so they could use that in there marketing if it's true. Maybe they could do with some more family coasters or an IP to help.

[@wizillustration9723]

Yeah Definitely! :D

[@taylorjball3824]

Thrust me it does get a lot on some days (mostly July)

[@libby.hawley1583]

Owen C it is amazing, I have grown up in the area and go there all the time. It's closing down soon tho, because not enough people go to it

[@jefferywinkle8343]

Its sad thats its closing, ive been going for 10 years now and the boomerang was the first rollercoaster i ever went on

[@owenc6961]

its sad when parks go but hopefully the rides won't move far so you can still get on them.

[@emmacottingham6576]

Oh how i miss pleasure island 😪 this place was my childhood. Amazing video, brought back some happy memories! Thanks guys! Xxxx

[@may8101]

I live near there! I miss that place so much and I loved it!

[@rosabennington5501]

closed !! The swings have gone , someone set fire to the massi warriors tent , and nearly all the rides are sold !! yes I live in Grimsby so it takes me 30 mins to get there I loved it especially the magic carpets where you laid on your belly , anyone else like that , it's ace

[@kyliemilesandmymultiplescl7379]

Rosa Bennington the alakazam

[@epicdiys8840]

Rosalies Channel same I went 8 years throughout my childhood I miss it

[@OliviaLouise]

That’s awful! I literally just said to myself that I was shocked nobody had set it on fire with that many people sneaking in. Gutted ☹️

[@caitlinah6311]

I was here the night it closed and I just started liking the rides. It hurts me because my cousin will never get to go there. But I’m glad I got to go

[@scottpannell2286]

Awww I take a walk around the perimeter most weekends. A lot of fond memories as a kid. Then worked there for my first job and less than £2 per hour!

[@leahamarie22]

The boomerang was the first ever rollercoaster I ever went on during a school trip, living in Grimsby I usually went to pleasure Island but was always scared of rollercoasters.... Anyway my first time was during the school trip and unfortunately I had to sit next to girl that had bullied me for years. Although I was terrified of the coaster and didn’t even know it went backwards, hearing her scream for her mummy was the highlight of my trip... she never bullied me again 😂😂😂 So many memories at Pleasure Island.. you’ll be missed 💔😢😢

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@100bethi]

went there every year for 7 year. I used to go to Cleethorpes ever year for 15 years and the pub is just as great aswell would recommend it to anyone!!

[@nothingnothing6311]

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I loved Lee's alternating between unconscious and having an absolute blast on Pendulus; that made me laugh :p

[@justforfun9704]

Hi Shawn. Just wanted to say Thanks again for having your photo with my daughter at Alton Towers on Sunday - really made her day. Keep up the great work.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Great to meet you!

[@sammysheartsgoodwin8835]

We used to go there alot with my family, for a treat for end of the holiday but haven't been there for years, nothing has changed much in the rides, they didn't have the farm there when I went. I don't like them either. I am big milk drinker too I have green top milk.

[@charlix4324]

I've been there twice it's a lovely little park but definitely needs to get noticed more

[@Thesopranos2005]

I love this theme park i live in grimsby next to cleethorpes and i used to go there twice a year

[@meglilyxo]

This made me a but emotional RIP pleasure island you will be missed x😭😢

[@adamwoodward2003]

@@XJoe360 Yes I think so

[@madmcks9745]

Really enjoyed the vlog thank another gem. One little point though and u may be pleased to know the amazing little dipper you filmed at the end is older than 41 years. I am 62 this year and my Dad took me on it when i was 6 or 7 and it was old then so goodness knows its actual age so u have been on a real old gem Again many thanks

[@martincassells3735]

I love this theme park relly fun

[@NakNaksGaming]

I was here on this day you was blogging and I was the 2nd to last rider of the day on the Tinkaboo factory I went every year since it opened my favourite ride has always been the Tinkaboo factory but I preferred the original theme to it and my dad got a shouting at in 1998 for grabbing the animatronic dogs bone lol

[@specific_d3492]

i was planning to go there tommorow but realised that it shut down I was in shock such a good park shuts down

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Such a shame

[@Anna-pu7hx]

Shawn this was my childhood ❤ thank you so much for vlogging here so I can relive it now! Such a nostalgia trip. Just found this one after binge watching all the bookworm restoration videos and your most recent US tour. Love love love your channel, if you ever need video ideas for the future I'd love to have a 'beginners guide to rollercoasters' I feel like I'm just starting my addiction 😂 would love to hear more about the different types, how they work, your experience operating them at Towers etc

[@simonfox3913]

Wonderful videos Shawn I've been going through so much just had an operation my wife is unwell in hospital really has cheered me up a bit your videos are helping me

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, get well soon!

[@WolfGirl988]

Loved this place

[@Richard-hv1kq]

well done for 50 000. the channel can only progress from here. good luck

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@jamesscaravanandfoodreview715]

very sad to see the park close at the end of the season, so many good childhood memories :(

[@kevinseymour8793]

I heard on the OTT podcast that Coaster Crazy Andy had been on TPWW videos and it made me search for one - and what a classic this was including being the 50k moment too. This was a lot of fun with your vlogstars in those days too. So sad I never got to visit the park and this was filmed so close to it's final days.

[@SPRidley]

Lovely park (as Shawn said, it was RCT1 and RCT2 park) and lovely vlog. The 50000 subscribers live and the history coaster were an awesome ending.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@louiswright8282]

We need more Rides like Tinkaboos and Shrieksville! Such a shame they're no longer around :(

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely

[@emmahume]

[@DoubleARay]

Shame it's gone it was one of the best theme park in the UK and it was home to A fantastic coaster 'boomerang' it is quite sad I hope we could hopefully see it open again like Southport did!

[@ewanmessenger8377]

I'm so excited this park closed, that boomerang is going to go somewhere else and so are some of the flats

[@Deckpaint1]

Our school goes to this park at the end of each school year a great little gem of a park to go to, and Shaun the Little Dipper coaster on cleat hopes beach is great ride to mark 50,000 subscribers to.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@addzssdd]

how do you only have 50k subs when you have great quality and entertainment

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we do try our best!

i am now nearly 60 and the ferris wheel and little dipper are my most early memories of going down meggies as us locals call it, so im sure your info and dates are wrong but tried to google it and got nothing. i remember these rides and so does grumpy as being there in 1963 onwards just letting you know. love your vlogs

[@MrBrownFox]

RIP Park It will be missed.

[@simonsteele1805]

Unfortunately, I never managed a visit when Pleasure Island was open. I only managed to get there to view and buy the gravitron ride. (Pure nostalgia as I used to operate this when it was brand new in South Wales)

[@TandicoOfficial]

I wish this little park got more attention. Some of it's flat rides are the best I've been on, honestly. (Though there's too many to do in one day unless you want varying degrees of nausea. I went over a couple days) I haven't actually been for years now, but I remember loving it when I was younger. You appreciate theming and the workings of the ride more when you can't go on them I suppose. It's a right shame it's not as popular as it used to be...I'm not a huge fan of Boomerangs, but the one at Pleasure Island is still a credit I need, hopefully going back to the park later this year.

[@vproscelle]

You reached 50k here but now unfortunately the place is abandoned also I’m glad I found this video

[@leo_714]

Shawn the top spin its manufactured by zamperla and there are a few on the world, there is one in Parque de la Costa named Desorbitados, so its hard to find like these

[@El_Smeghead]

Congratulations on the 50K ! Brought back a lot of memories for me growing up around Cleethorpes. Spent most of my late teens around that exact spot where the Little Dipper sits.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for the continued support!

[@smilealways4200]

Shawn I love your videos you deserve to be the most subscribed youtuber on the planet I saw you working at Alton towers and I was so happy but never asked for a photo but you are amazing

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for the support!

[@ajlincoln]

Congratulations on 50,000 subscribers!!! I would love to see a video about how you became to like roller coasters, rides, theme parks. Where you have visited. Your favourite and worst roller coaster / ride.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@Rachael8989]

Hey theme park worldwide! I have just discovered your vlogs this week, after being a huge theme park fan most of my life. Lovely vlog, Pleasure Island seemed like it was a nice place and it is such a shame that is has closed down. Like another commenter said 2016 was a sad year for theme parks. In a way I feel like the whole industry is still recovering from the Alton Towers Smiler crash. Tommy Tinkaboo's looked wonderful and I'm gutted I never got to ride it. To see that and bubbleworks gone in the same year is devastating.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching, welcome to Theme Park Worldwide!

[@Rachael8989]

Theme Park Worldwide yay thank you for the reply, and welcoming me to the community :)

[@ellawenhamvlogs5911]

I've went here last month and it's so good and good Vlog btw😊

You should do a tour of ghost trains/walkthroughs for Halloween :D

[@simond1001]

Went on a travelling version of hydro max and I've dot to say it's the best flat I've ever done, nice vlog

[@mollysimone2103]

Tinkaboos sweet adventure reminds me of magic mountain at Blackpool pleasure beach

[@ewanmessenger6586]

This may sound insane but even though I haven't been to it, this park looks to be incredible. I love these sort of theme parks! I prefer these too things like fantasy island and Blackpool pleasure beach!

[@hayleyjackson1340]

I wouldn't go as far to say it beats pleasure beach,looks better than Southport though

[@noaahhh_g]

The soundtrack for the ghost train is also playing around the park for xtreme scream park

[@InfiniteCS]

jesus that topspin looks awe-full

[@jefferywinkle8343]

Its not actually as bad as it looks

[@InfiniteCS]

jeffery winkle i dont mid topspins but that one looks like a little too much

[@grungegoat6776]

It is I was shouting stop the ride I got off with 6 bruises they did stop it though

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It wasn't too bad!
