    Flamingo Land - 15th June 2011

    Decided to have a rather impromptu visit to Flamingo Land earlier this week, a few friends from home were travelling down so I thought why not?! Rather than bore you all by saying, "We did this, we then did that", I'll just summarise my thoughts on the day! As you well know, Flamingo Land is a...

    Pleasure Island: New Website

    Pleasure Island launched their new website earlier today. http://www.pleasure-island.co.uk/ IMO it looks great; it's clean, informative, consistent in design, easy to navigate and has some very nice graphics. Granted a few pages are a little sparse, but the site in general looks the part...

    Pleasure Island - New Water Ride

    Not exactly big news, but news nevertheless. Pleasure Island's season pass renewal letter states that they will be home to a new water ride next season. I suspect it will be a travelling log flume or similar. They haven't had a great season by their own admission so the purse strings will be...

    LWV - Best Season For 12 Years

    Lightwater Valley finished just shy of 340,000 visitors for the 2009 season, which was 25,000 more than they expected and makes it their best season for 12 years. This also eclipses the excellent year they had back in 2003. The good thing about 2009 is that they haven't needed to discount...

    Re: flamingo land last day of season 2009

    Not wanting to cause a stir, but I've just read a trip report about Flamingo Land's closing day in General Discussion which was locked for being in the wrong place. Anyway, raymondfromboro said the park closed early which was met with allegations that he was lying. Sorry to say but the...

    Frightwater Valley Sold Out

    I'm sure you all read about LWV's Halloween event earlier this year. Just a quick note on how it went. Frightwater Valley was definitely an outright success. There were 7500 people in attendance. The park could have let upto 10,000 people (the demand was there) in the park but they know that...

    Camelot - 11th August

    I took a trip to Camelot Theme Park for the first time since I was a wee nipper on Tuesday, so it was pretty much a new park experience for myself. I've heard many bad stories of Camelot; how it is an awful park that looks very run-down, but nevertheless I headed to the park with an open mind...

    Your Theme Park Job

    The Ultimate - Stalled

    This is what happens when The Ultimate doesn't quite make it back home to the station, otherwise known as a stall. Didn't manage to get any photos of when it was towed home, I popped up to The Sewer Rat and it was back in the station by time we got back. It was a rather...
