Pleasurewood Hills 2010

[Martyn B]

It has been confirmed that one of the old Cannonball Epress trains has been operating on Enigma lately:

This apparently has something to do with the ride recieving a major re-vamp for the 2010 season. The ride is currently limited to only 1 train operation due to the block brake system failing so many times, and as a part of the re-vamp, the ride is going to recieve a brand new braking system, making the ride capable of running at full capacity (4 trains).

Also, there's a rumour that the coaster could be relocated elsewhere in the park. Whilst that sounds unlikely, it could kind of make sense if they are hoping to install a large ride anytime soon, as having it deep down in that crater would help alot with the planning issues.

Also there are rumours flying around about a possible Rapids ride for next year. Hell this has even been discussed on international forums, lol. Forum member Josh did email the park about any new attractions, this was their response:

Hi

We do have a 5 and a 10 year plan but how closely we stick to this depends on the number of visitors that come through the gate.

What we do not have at Pleasurewood Hills is a family ride that can take all members of the family not being dependant on age, size or height of the occupants. So I think we would look towards something like that.

I don’t think that lets any cats out of the bag!!!!

Regards

What he (Terry Nunn) said there must surely help them fingers point towards a Rapids ride? Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see.


Its about time something (relatively) interesting happened at Pleasurewood.

I saw this on the pleasurewood hills fan site forum. Yeah sounds good, although some people on there did say that you can't rely on numbers this year to whether you build a new ride, as you need a new ride first to bring people in, not the other way around.

I suggest if anyone is interested (like hell they are but anyway), check out www.unofficialpleasurewood.co.uk, there seems to be people on that forum which have good links!

Hehe, that would be me! Its true though, you cant not add any new rides for 3 years, then say 'new rides will depend on guest numbers this year' - who's going to be visiting when there's nothing new?

Though advertsing this year has been pretty extreme, which is good to see, and the weather has been good to this year so far, so fingers crossed.

There just has to be a new ride next year, and not a replacement ride either, there isn't enough to do at PWH, so I just hope they're not going to be removing a ride to bring in a new one, there's no need.

I hope they get one of the travelling rapids, they're epic!

Good to know that Pleasurewood Hills is FINALLY going to run full capacity on Enigma. I've never seen it running 2 or more trains and I've been going there for many years now.

This news has made me happy
