Pleasurewood Hills Vlog August 2023

[@RobDavison]

I'll always remember the imposing spectre of Missile looming over the lake at the American Adventure. Just... waiting for me. Slowly getting closer as I made my way around the park. Love that it's still alive and well at Pleasurewood Hills 🤩 Classic.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was the best!

[@beverley_anne_88]

Growing up, PWH was my home park. So many great memories from that place, including my first rollercoaster - The Cannonball Express! I didn't want to go on, cried the entire queue line (i was about 6 +/-), my mum forced me on. The minute I got off I wanted to go again, and I've been coaster obsessed ever since! As always, thanks for the content!

[@BrutalSavageYT]

Same I was born in Lowestoft in 88 and spent most of the summer holidays at pleasure wood hills I remember all the shows in the castle with Noel Edmunds and Mr Blobby. this park had such great potential but It just never really did anything😅

[@bazahaza]

Do you guys remember a haunted house/castle. They sang the monster mash at the end. I was terrified and cried all the way through and kept eyes shut. Was mid to late 80's.

[@BrutalSavageYT]

@@bazahaza bit after me I suspect 😅 I remember that drop slide tho 😂

[@bazahaza]

@@BrutalSavageYT Yes. I remember my brother got friction burns. 😂

[@MephProduction]

@@bazahaza yes, i think there's audio online of the live show, sadly no footage, i loved the into bit before the live show started.

[@SonicBoom123-x6q]

Marble Madness used to be at Flamingo Land in Yorkshire and it got replaced by Hero the WORST ROLLER COASTER IN THE UK!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was indeed. Hero is awful!

[@Cazkumali]

[@simonandlola7713]

You need to do a compilation video of Charlotte on every water ride she has ridden! She is fun and so hilarious! 😂😂😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Now that would make a great video 😂

[@jessfidler2356]

[@itsbritneybby]

i keep asking that aswell lol

[@RantamA]

My local! Welcome! haven't been in ages good to see you're keeping the seats warm for me!

[@Ali-uy3sl]

I agree Shawn Charlotte got loads more confident on water rides . Lovely to see 🎉

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had a great time on the log flume!

[@michaelwhiles5282]

Such fun - keep on keeping on for all of us. 😃

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will do! 🎢

[@NoName-xf4be]

I’m glad to see it’s sorted out some issues - I went three days after it opened for the 2023 season and cannonball express was closed, the blue slides and there was no score board for rootin tootin either. Glad to see that’s all been solved 😁

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Oh no! I’m glad they’ve sorted it!

[@NoName-xf4be]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide Me too- seems they hadn’t quite finished there winter maintenance, but at least it was solved for the summer

[@AndyJay-ky4ow]

Great childhood memories of this park when you could take food in for the barbecues they had.

[@CustomiZe_]

Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in Kent is definitely worth a visit. 13 miles of miniature railway fun. And adrenaline as well as they travel at 25mph and your liliterally flying along by the seat of your pants rocking left and right all over the place 😂😂.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@graemecassidy5647]

Absolutely loved this vlog. Pleasurewood was my first proper theme park and Ladybird was my first coaster. I saw Cannonball Express in Folkestone in 1991, but I had no idea it originally came from Plopsaland. Personally, I thought Rootin Tootin was best when it was Woody's Fairytale Fantasy, as it had 3D models, and I hope it goes back to something like that one day. I completely agree a Woody Bear ride in the old Castle Theatre would be fitting. Keeping it 100% family friendly is key. The park has been making some great choices lately - Giddy Up is a good retheme, Safari is excellent, and just the general graphic design currently used is really good. Here's hoping for some new family-thrill coasters. Another ride I really used to like was Canal Boat Ride - most of the animals it used are now along the miniature railway. Speaking of which, you piqued my interest as to whether there's a longer one... apparently Ruislip Lido is the longest in the UK, which offers a two and a half round trip.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@gavinsadventuresinterests.]

I have never been on one of those Vekoma Boomerang rides, but they do look pretty good though. They do look quite intense. Pleasurewood Hills does look like a very nice theme park/Amusement Park. I have never been to this park either. Nice vlog Shawn & Charlotte. I do think that Charlotte is secretly starting to like water rides, even though she probably won't admit it.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for joining us!

[@sharonellis8776]

This looks a really great park. So funny hearing Charlotte scream on the log flume. xx

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Always love a good water ride with Charlotte 😂

[@shirleyquinn1766]

Great vlog as always . Loved it thankyou.

[@XGREY1]

Nice video and keep up with the great content

[@marybradley7791]

I always enjoy watching your videos from Pleasurewood Hills, when you look back at the old videos you can really see the improvements over the years, but i agree with you it does really need some new rides now, i would love to go to this park but it is a very long way for me.

[@FredBearFilms]

Hi Shawn, I'm a ride operator at Pleasurewood Hills! although I wasn't working on the day you were in, I was there as a guest on that day like you and Charlotte, and I wish I had the chance to meet you guys! I only saw you both at the main gate and over by Jolly Roger, but I was making my way to Cannonball Express, so i didn't wanna stop and end up having to wait in the queue much longer. Glad you had a good day though! would've loved to have met you guys, been a fan of yours for a year now and you guys have been the reason I've gotten in to theme parks and roller coasters! I do agree with you though, the park definitely needs a new coaster! I'd love there to be a family spinning coaster or perhaps even the new RMC Wild Moose that was recently announced! fingers crossed!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for sharing! Would love to see a brand new coaster for them!

[@xx_sugarcube_xx8170]

We love pleasurewood hills :D Btw the drop tower is terrifying I had to close my eyes when I went on it lol

[@attractionshubno1]

Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte

[@CoasternautYT]

Great little park pleasurewood hills, I think they need a new coaster addition as I can see cannonball express being removed soon potentially, lots of recent maintenance work and down time

[@abovemcyt]

YESSSSSSS i was waiting so long for this W

[@gavinhodgkins6643]

Hi guys, brilliant video as usual. Never heard of that park, but looks a good little park to visit with some great rides as well. I would look to visiting in the future.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had a great day!

[@jamesabbott5242]

Awesome Video Guys 😄😄

[@deebringle5772]

Charlotte has yet another career ahead as a safari guide. Well done!😅

[@timheye7863]

So this is where they re- located Jumbo 5 at Meli park (now Plopsaland). I believe it was only one year operational there. Never had the chance to ride it.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It is indeed!

[@FreddieAlves-nd7yg]

I went to Europa park yesterday and it was the best theme park I’ve ever been too and no wonder it deserved the golden ticket award 8 times

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful park!

[@keiranhyre750]

Brilliant vlog

[@OllieCoaster]

i went here last year as i was in the area, its actually really good and has a bit of theme park history as whipeout used to be missile at american adventure

[@MephProduction]

yay love The hills. The castle had a haunted ghost show before blobby moved in, it had a cinematic story section and then you moved into the seated area for a live show, it was awesome. It looping didn't care about the 40th i think that pretty much sums up what they think about the park, pity because when they first took it on they were investing fairly well.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@micky1878]

Had the pleasure of riding the buffalo stampede last week, a ride I used to ride 30/35 years ago as a child.The missile used to scare me to death until I plucked up the courage to ride it around 1992.It's sad when a ride outlives a park, but great to see it still scaring and thrilling people all these years later. R.I.P. The American Adventure❤

[@Mollie_Cheeseman]

Yay another video I can’t wait to watch it ❤🎉

[@jamie9630]

Great to see that Pleasurewood Hills is finally getting more investment with the rides! All it needs now is a brand new rollercoaster! 🙂 🎢

[@heinzbeansenjoyer1668]

They’re retracking Marble Madness now so hopefully it gets a toned down Nemesis Reborn treatment

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching!

[@Ruby___246]

Had a good day here, a reccomendation to anyone visiting, park food as normall is quite expensive, and theres a tesco just outside and I would reccomend geting lunch from there. Love the vlogs as always shawn and charlotte! Cant wait for the Florida vlogs so excited!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, bring on Florida!

[@FeedYourGreed]

Can't wait for the Mayonnaise unboxing video on the Sanbrooke Adventures channel. Haha love it. Looking forward to the Florida trip/cruise vlogs!

Thank you! We can’t wait!

[@lewz_r]

YOOOO LETS GO MY HOME PARK!!!!! Its so nostalgic because egg-spress was my first ever coaster back when it was called Rattlesnake and Wipeout was my first coaster to go upside-down . PLEASE TELL ME WHEN YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GREAT YARMOUTH PLEASURE BEACH I WILL LITERALLY BOOK A TICKET

[@The1animekid]

I love this place the water ride slide is so fun

[@robertgray1756]

Went on the Missile ride when it was at American Adventure and been on it here too !! There was a Pre Illusion show on then, no Circus.This is a nice pleasant park.Worth visiting especially if holidaying nearby or at Great Yarmouth....plenty to do in this area of the UK.

Now that's a wake up .. an hour video of two legends, that keep on riding ! 🤘

[@paulevans8815]

We took our 6 year old grandaughter to pleasurewood for her first time on Aug 16...loved it. Beautiful setting with plenty of good family attractions. My granddaughter could pretty much go on everything which was fantastic. Cable car was open on our visit too. It was very busy and I said it was a prime park for investment. We saw a couple of signs saying "something new coming" so fingers crossed. Visited the park many times and so many great memories🙂🙂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We’re glad you had fun!

[@SonicBoom123-x6q]

The Work That They have done on Water Fun Factory Is Cool and it is like a log flume with a fun house

[@mattlambert8955]

Most people think it opened in 1983 but it actually opened in 1982 and it was pay per ride. Official opening in 1983 . Went in first few weeks of opening at age 9 and still love it.

[@bowsersean8098]

I found it funny when Charlotte screamed on the ride at 7:28. 7:39

Great video

[@stoppropaganda2573]

I just learned about Blobby a few days ago! Was this park one of the original Blobby themed parks? Great video guys!

[@MephProduction]

not a blobby theme park, They just rethemed the haunted castle into a mr blobby show for a year or two, before him the castle was a horror show, with a cinematic intro and they you would walk into the seated bit for a live show.

[@stoppropaganda2573]

​@@MephProduction I learned that Mr. Blobby was a very popular TV character that spawned 3 parks and one was a public park that cause all sorts of legal issues in the end. I love the history behind popular attractions, thanks!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The castle featured Mr Blobby for a short time!

[@StewartWaddell]

There was another wipeout at pleasure island cleethorpes which was a Great theme park that failed to remain open due to declining visitor attendance

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Wipeout was built for The Glasgow Garden Festival in 1988 and was known as the Coca Cola Roller before it was relocated to The American Adventure Theme Park. I first rode it in Glasgow when it was brand new then at the American Adventure and Pleasurewood Hills.

It was indeed!

A recommendation for Disney, you should buy a balloon for your trip, it just makes things more magical. 👍

[@throttlebot]

I went to this park in the very early 90's, and distinctly remember a pirate ship type ride that used to go completely around. Im sure it was called Tempest or something like that.

Another good video, really enjoyed 100%. Kept thinking which park it was that had two miniature railways inside of it, forgot it was this one. Love the section where railways cross each other twice, from both track level crossing and bridge over. Epic, 100% agree a new coaster could be added here. Was thinking maybe a GCI Wooden Coaster be a good shout here, not sure about spinning type coasters? As I don't like the look of them in an outside setting, but inside as a dark coaster would be an interesting ride experience, but outside. Not sure about? Did think another good park for new family RMC type coaster? Or maybe a unique layout non compact & spaced out & non upside down or upside down? Think another family and upside down coaster could be another option for this park? Think Cannonball Express could do with a longer train to deal with capacity? Aswell maybe two or three long trains to deal with capacity incase it does get busy during day? If not? Maybe could be sold and removed and a new attraction / coaster built in its place? Not sure? But nice vlog, really enjoyed and look forward to next video & vlog. 😀👍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. Love the railways here!

[@Ruffnreddyrunner]

They have so much space to expand and put some more modern rides and coasters in I mean look at Blackpool limited space but good quality rides I’d like to see a few flats and a dark ride in that castle building and a big coaster like a dive coaster or a Rita 2.0

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Would love to see a brand new coaster!
