Sundown Adventureland Vlog October 2020

[@rideexpedition]

I've been coming here for years and its great to see this place getting some recognition. Great to see you gave it a good review as the themeing and atmosphere here is incredible. Its the place that got me into theme parks and will always be part of my life.. what a theme park

[@GarethNeale]

This was the first park i ever visited as a child. Back when it used to be called Pets Corner

[@keaneullathorne1665]

Snap! Sundown Pets Corner! Hasn't changed since 1996 but still looks fantastic!

[@eli238]

Were off on Sunday and I still call it pets corner of sundown pets corner

[@lauranorton7061]

Thank you for the amazing childhood memories with this vlog!! Im so glad you enjoyed it as much as many of your viewers seemed to during our childhood/bringing our kids too!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching, I loved it here!

[@_Claire_Louise_]

Well this brought back some memories! I went there once when I was about 7 (so around 2002) and loved it so much! I don't remember going on any rides but I was a kid that would rather be on the play equipment than waiting in line for anything that wasn't a rollercoaster! And I've been bugging my parents for years about where we went that had the lollipop castle and none of us could remember where it was so you've solved a bit of a family mystery

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@g2ccee]

i used to go here all the time as a kid, forgot about it for some time, and i came across this video! this certainly gave me some sweet nostalgia

[@dannybanon8560]

The theming of this park is immaculate. I cant imagine how amazing it would be if they had the budget of the likes of Disney and Universal. Round of applause for their creative team 👏

it’s such a good a good little park i love 10 minutes awyay from it and they have struggled during the lockdown but there building little lodges to stay overnight and they are planning on building some coasters when they get the funds

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s certainly looking like this park will have a very bright future

[@damianbutterworth2434]

Me too at Saxilby. Not been since a kid in the 70`s. Sure there was an old boat there.

[@scopednffc7497]

I came for years when I was a kid and loved the old tractor ride. Lovely nostalgia

[@Monkey69bb]

Brings back memories my parents won’t take me anymore since I’m “too old” 💔

[@samanthawebber9748]

The other Christmas ride is how you see Santa, from what iv heard you get off that ride then have your Santa meet and greet. Spent so much time here as a child, great vlog!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We’ll have to go and check it out!

[@char3894]

This is such a nostalgic video for me! I spent my childhood visiting this park! And it's amazing to see how much it has changed and what is still there from when I was little! Thank you for this video honestly brought back so many memories ❤️

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@bramshawcricketclub]

Loving the ICON hat Shaun! Great Video this looks like a amazing park for kids, this is tempting me to go Keep it up Shaun!!!

[@aperson4547]

I gotta get one of those hats the next time I visit blackpool.

[@olliedrake3140]

Went there year after year when I was a child. I remember them having a sand pit pirate theme, which we’d always sit around the side on picnic tables and eat our packed lunch. Loved the little toy town, the fire station being most memorable to me for some reason, and can’t forget the yellow brick road!

[@gemmaaaxx]

Ahhh Sundown!! Used to go here all the time when I was little. This made me feel so nostalgic 🥺🥰💞 xx

[@Coaster_Crazy]

I have waited ages for a proper vlog from here as I’ve been asked to make a visit for years but since I don’t have kids I can’t go !! This has got to be one of the least well known theme parks in the UK, don’t know anyone who’s been, never see it get mentioned and never seen it advertised

[@themeparkkieran4573]

You should ask martin if he would meet you there one day

[@mathgoodison8096]

This place reminds me of the Forbidden Corner but better. It is a shame you have can’t have grown adults without children to the park, I wish they could have special selected days where adults could visit the park to look at the artictecturhe.

[@myles8328]

Haaaaahaha! ‘Keep out, pirate property!’ 😁 what a beautiful park! Brilliant vlog, Shawn. Huge fun and shining a light on lesser known gems!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching!

[@lucyhall8184]

I remember going here all the time when I was a little kid and I always loved going there and have some great memories

[@fancyjungle28]

Favourite place as a kid

[@jonathonfisher1443]

This park deserves success. Totally passed me by until now. Thanks Shawn, you could tell you were impressed.

[@grudgesgalore8666]

this place as far as theming goes , puts other places to shame! what an exceptional park designed for the youngsters! makes me wish i was a youngster again!! simply fantastic!!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Very impressed

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Can’t believe how good the theming is around the park, it looks so good !! I can see this park growing in the future and maybe add a few new rides, a family drop tower and coaster would go well

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I really hope to see a small family coaster here as it would fit in very well!

[@heathercunningham7]

You got in before it's closed. Good timing. Looks great. I get all my ideas now from your vlogs. Thankyou 😃

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I’m glad we went when we did! Let’s hope they can reopen safely soon

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

Absolutely loved this vlog. I’m so pleased you have paid them a visit. I really hope it boosts visitor numbers. Such a great park for those with young kids. So well themed, loads of interactive stuff and plenty of opportunities for kids to play, climb and explore. Do try to visit at Christmas; it takes on an even more magical feel with the trees and lighting. Best Santa experience we ever had. 😄

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. We can’t wait to return at some point to see the park at Christmas!

[@stellahanzaklewis1768]

Came here as a child and remember the fairy tale area!

[@Lulu-jl5zd]

Great place and lots of happy memories of taking my family there. Thank you for taking us :D

[@BoomGoesThat]

I went here for one of my birthdays as a child. Got to see Santa and got a brilliant toy as well. It’s amazing. Wish I had a kid to go back with haha

[@Archie_T_Sharpe000]

Plz can you revisit this park with Charlotte 😁

[@joeeeee256]

The theming at this place is insane, how have I never heard of it!

This theme park was my childhood I loved the pirate water ride

[@connorh_2075]

Same it was the best

[@aidanbrent]

Brought back great memories from when I was young thank you for doing this

[@sportsygirl8]

That place was so cool and cute at the same time. That train ride sure moved pretty fast. I loved that Christmas ride it was really nicely themed.

[@TheSmallFunnyGuy1]

love this vlog, so many memories when was little, got to see you guys go and do another vlog here

[@chloeem3771]

My absolute favourite place as a kid! Thank you for filming brought back so many memories😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching Chloe!

[@roderickshaw1994]

What a little treasure for the kids you have discovered. Never heard of it before. Hopefully will be able to take my granddaughter here after the current lockdown restrictions have passed. Worth looking into other undiscovered parks for future reference.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a great little park!

[@MattyPlays06]

Great to see you taking out your god daughter (martins and Leigh’s daughter) also lovely vid!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was a wonderful day and it was great to take her on plenty of rides!

[@LauraIsGeeky]

What a throwback to my childhood! Theres lots of child sized crawl spaces you wouldn't even be able to fit in as an adult to review! I remember around the cowboy town there was a secret room with aliens in, and somewhere there was a whole room hidden behind a tiny fake wardrobe 😂

[@SarahTherese95]

I've had a horrible day today so this vlog makes me very happy! Hope to see Charlotte back in the vlogs soon x

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Sorry to hear that. We filmed a new vlog today and it’ll be coming on Saturday!

[@kkrispy2009P]

This is a great glimpse into the future when you and Charlotte get kids bring them here Charlotte would love this hi to Martin and leah

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely!

[@tubedweeb]

Prefect for the little ones. Impressive! It’s the best themed kiddie park I’ve ever seen.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It sure is the perfect place to take little ones with so much on offer!

[@exitthehouse]

Not been here for several years as my 2 kids are teenagers now. But it really is a nice well themed park and it is really nice at Christmas. The ride they only open at Christmas Shawn which takes the kids to see Santa is a trackless dark ride which again is really well themed.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great park that we really enjoyed!

[@Alloneword-cp2xw]

This will always be Pets Corner to me. That Ice Cream fountain used to be a floating tap water feature.

[@StuHolland]

I took my son here when he was 2 ish and he loved it. I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the place, so glad you went here! Great place for young kids

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

[@tieganlord8815]

i’m going there tomorrow, this video made me even more excited to see my daughters face!😍

[@stanstools728]

When I went here as a kid. It was called pets corner as they used to have animals as well. We went with our kids a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Great themeing. Like you said a little coaster would be a great addition.

[@keaneullathorne1665]

Welcome to a typical Yorkshiremans childhood! Superb! Thanks for this video Shaun!♥️

Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this place, but looks amazing! Almost like something I’d expect to find at Efteling or Europa Park.

This has been the theme park I grew up in, great to see how it still hasn’t changed, Great vid!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

[@dawnbetts400]

this has changed a lot since the early 80s when my hubby used to take bus loads of pre school and infant school children for a day out ,at the time i think it was called sundown pets corner and it had a little petting farm ,always a happy for the kids .

We love going here. Great review. Hope you go again. You missed out some major areas. Fort Apache is a massive area great for kids to free play. Keep up the great work Shaun and Charlotte.

So a childrens park in the UK gets better theming than most of our big parks lol. This reminds me a bit of how Blackgang Chine used to be when I was a kid.

Would have been good to actually see Martin and Leah in this vlog. I miss the gang in your videos. It's kind of weird you constantly talking about being there with people but never seeing them.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Great park indeed

[@inkysquid4]

I remember going there twice as a kid. Once on a school trip, and once with a mate before he went back to his home country. So many memories. I remember being 6 and 7 and really enjoying it. They were great days, loved the pirate ride. On the school trip my mates dad was our group leader and he always took the water cannons for us. In one of the village areas it had been turned into an outdoor park with slides and tasks and obstacle courses. So much fun. When I went there with my friend the second time, we bought some nerf guns and bullets in the wild west are to join a massive 'gun' fight with literally 40 odd kids. That was mental. Only 7 of us 'survived' as the park had to break it up to prevent it from getting even bigger lmao. It really is a great themed park and everything is well considered towards the younger audience, especially when you consider that they have nowhere near the budget as Drayton manor etc. The angry birds land is a great addition to target a more 'modern' child audience aswell as the wizard of Oz and the fantasy part. The indoor play area though was one of the best parts though. When I was also there with my mate, in the big lollipop castle, the park allowed kids to have a nerf fight for a bit as there wasn't many people up there as it was the time the cafes were serving food. I'm well into my teens now and the park looks more or less the same, add a couple of rides like the safari and driving school, but they were really enjoyable as a youngster, especially the christmas rides and pirate ride. Been trying to remember this place for ages to recommend it to my neighbours who have been looking for such a place, so lucky this went into my reccomended.

[@BenRuffneck]

I just wanted to add a 2024 update to this video as we actually stayed at the park last week. The new wild acre village holiday homes are as gorgeous as the park and very reasonably priced. The park itself was wonderful and our kids had four lovely days (with a day out for an Alton Towers visit) exploring and never got bored, between the park itself and the soft play sites dotted around that are equally as well themed. I can't recommend this place enough. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and did their utmost to make each day enjoyable. While still very lovely the park does seem to be suffering from some wear and tear but this was only noticed by more seasoned, jaded eyes. The kids were still in awe of everything. I've already said it but can't recommend this enough and we will definitely be returning!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That’s great to hear!

[@AlannahMojo]

Oh btw the octopus on the pirate ride normally sprays A LOT of water but most of the time its broken i'm pretty sure its only worked 1 or 2 of the times I went

[@samanthawebber9748]

Ugh I have so many fond memories of this place, the fort was a blast, there used to be like a spaceport themed playground but it looks like that’s gone now. So glad the park is still going strong. I think Shawn might be disappointed, there hasn’t been a rollercoaster there for the 30 years I’ve known it, can’t see them building one any time soon!

[@samanthawebber9748]

[@LindsayTVFilm]

It's probably a coincidence that the main entrance area feels a lot like your new Planet Coaster Park. However, since Frontier is a British video game developer, it's plausible they have people who have been here and that's why they added the sleigh ride dark ride to the game.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Possibly so!
