Southports New Pleasureland Photo TR

Hi I went to southport last weekend to splash world. Afterwards I thought i'd go and check out how the new pleasureland was looking and get a few pictures. Sadly my camera broke on me and I had to use my iphone, so apologies for the quality.

Splash world is fun although only for an hour or so. It is only a small indoor water park (if you can even call it that). There are 3 slides, a bubble spa, a toddler kids area, a kids splash zone & a flowing river. The Price was £7.50 for all day, although on busy days they do have to allocate coloured bands. You are guaranteed minimum 1.5 hours tho.

Pleasureland was £1 a token with most rides being 2/3 tokens a ride. No other way to descibe the new pleasureland than a glorified travelling fair. There are 3 coasters, wild mouse, a caterpillar and the wild cat. I've tried to get pictures of all the thrill/adult rides. The new pleasureland is sadly lacking the atmosphere it used to have. I'm sure it would still be fun in a large group tho.

Southport is still a good day out and is well worth a visit on the uk trip/tour. There is plenty to do like crazy golf, ride various boats, visit the miniature railway, go to the arcades etc. Just hope for a sunny day.

Splash world!

View from splash world car park.

A very popular ride.

Beautiful isn't it

The arcade is still there.

Artistic or just a rubbish camera?

Everyone loves a log flume unless your names dan.

Couldn't get a good picture due to the sun.

Just a standard wild mouse.

Weirdly they have 2 tropical trip rides.

Elvis may have left the building......

The lost ride more like it.

Themeing.

Southport zoo lives on.

1 for you patriots

Southport really does have potential

Hamster balls on water.

My grans beautiful grey hair, oh and funland amusement arcade.

The jet was £4 a ride.

Not the craziest crazy golf but fun

Lastly 1 other remaining feature of the old pleasureland.

Thanks for the report.

Was the indoor Lost World coaster closed or gone?

Also, RCDB lists a new powered Go Gator for this year, was that onsite yet?

Lost world looked like it has gone as when I peered through all I could see was junk all over the place. As for the go gator that wasn't there last weekend although the pic on rcdb is from southport showing it there. Strange maybe i'm blind. The big apple wasn't there either. It was a caterpilar ride but with no apple.
