Tales of the coast.



This is a dark boat tide at pleasurewood hills. 




It starts out as a pleasant outdoor boat ride. 





And had a quite Sofisticated sound system of on land speakers that follow the boat through the ride. 


The story tells of old fishermand takes and soon takes a sinister turn as you enter the indoor part of the ride.  



Once inside there are some blacklit scenes. 


One back outside its a short ride to the station.  



Snails and fairy tales. Great Yarmouth.

Great Yarmouth is the only seaside town that has two snail themed rides.

The other is a pseudo coaster credit a few hundred yards from this one.

The one at pleasure beach is a dark ride that intertwined amongst the roller coaster. It starts off outside and includes a few drops and scenes outside before entering the indoor section. For sine strange reason they play it's a small world theme all the way through.

It's a fairly good ride with a decent length and some nice show scenes.

Haunted hotel. Great Yarmouth.

The haunted hotel at great Yarmouth pleasure beach is another quite old ghost train. It is somewhat well known for its use of casual nudity. While nothing very shocking it always seems to shock American visitors.

The ride itself is a fairly standard ride. A few nice stunts but nothing out of the ordinary. I had heard that this rude had a very good soundtrack but there was nothing the day I visited.

Terror castle. Brean leisure park. Weston. Uk

Terror castle is somewhat infamous in the theme park fan community. I have herd many stories of what lies within this fairly standard ghost train.

The stories of young children coming off the ride in hysterics needed further investigation.

Arriving at brean the terror castle is the first ride to greet you. It was closed when I arrived and does look like a fairly standard double story ghost train. When I returned after it had opened there were indeed lots of crying children leaving the ride.

So what's inside? Well it is packed full of effects including many vomiting people and many that fall down from the ceiling at you. I have read reviews that say they are all standard off the shelf effects. This is correct but the shear amount if them and the intensity is truly stunning.

This is easily the most intense and genuinely scary rides I have ever been on.
