Pleasurewood Hills

It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation. They need new rides to attract visitors but they don't get new rides because they don't attract enough visitors. No park can afford to stand still in this industry.

It got 180,000 in either 2022 or 2023 according to a recent Looping Group informational video, while Drayton got 920,000 in the same year and WMSP did ~850,000 (?). Like Oakwood, I think Pleasurewood struggles to be much more than a holiday tourist park due to its remote location.

On the Looping Group website, it says 160000 for PWH, 750000 for WMSP and Drayton is 800000.

Cobac Parc and Mini Chateaux are the only ones with less visitors than PWH - 100,000 each.

Surely Looping have nothing to lose, as they also have Drayton and WMS. They could buy a few second hand rides and try to boost attendance but if it doesn’t work they can always move them to their other parks.

Us locals don't visit anymore due to the lack of investment and state of the place. Loopings have totally decimated the place the last decade,

Opening hours cut
Operating days cut
Rides removed not replaced
Many SBNO buildings/areas
Poorly maintained/kept parts such as the actual grounds and buildings
Poorly finished refurbishment of some rides

The car park fiasco last year was the last straw for many local people and so many have chosen GYPB now for value and season passes.

Many moons ago the park was ran by the then leisure great Britain, even they saw sense and wheeled in temporary hired rides

Honestly all they need to do is get 3 or so flats in , hired or not, reopen the castle which was once so prominent, now rotting away and covered in weeds, this would be a start and would bring locals back, not sure the latest money off deal will, clearly they want locals back yet its gone too far now.

The recent ride paint ups and refurbishments are much needed of course yet only thooises are really interested in seeing these, joe public have no idea or even care

I mean the boomerang looks superb now its been repainted and has a different style of train yet even then the train wasn't even new !!!
