We will reach page 3 one day! ;D -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new season is in full swing, and with promising developments going on across the new bought area, it looks like the park has been given a whole new lease of life. Today was particularly busy... We're nowhere near peak season yet but this is the crowd! The queue for Boomerang became a little too long at times, I heard someone say they waited nearly 30 minutes for it! The new rides are proving very popular too. I spot some work being done on the new land behind Boomerang! Since the start of the season, Longley Beach have added a new section to their website allowing us to follow the development of the new site, they have confirmed that at times the webcam will be switched off whilst secret things are put in place, but it's a nice thought from the park! The quality of the webcam isn't great, but we can see quite a bit of work is going on across the site right now! I'll post another webcam image with the next update very soon!

Good Evening and Welcome, My name is Robert Walters and I am the 54th wealthiest man on our planet. I recently invested a large amount of my fortune on buying Papiya Island, and my one and only intention for this island is to build a dream theme park here, it's a long term vision with a lot of work, money and time needed in order to achieve my dream, but in time, I will reach the goal. I have taken the time to take a couple of photos of my new island for you to take a look at, work will soon begin and I will keep you updated, I hope you will join me on my adventure and stick with me. Here's to a long and successful future! Robert Walters.

Hi everyone! Today is Longley Beach Theme Park's season pass preview day! Now since this US Investor Group took over, there has been a massive amount of work been going on at the park, just walking up the road to the park you can see there has been a lot of work done... New Coaster! As you can see this new coaster is in the construction site section sadly! Another view of the new coaster! The park is currently closed and you can only get in today with your new season pass. Punisher is closed. Apparently yesterday during the first tests there was some major problems and they're working at fixing them before the season starts! Boomerang has a new station! A nice, new red wooden station! The monorail is up and testing! One major change in the park for this season... Where has Slingshot gone?! Slingshot, The Carousel and The Slide have all been removed and the area has been given a new look with two new rides! However carousel hasn't gone far, it has been relocated and been given a complete revamp. The chairswing has gone too, this has gone to make way for construction fences and signs during the development of the site next door. Whatever the coaster is, it looks epic! Just another photo to sum up the changes to the area where Slingshot used to be! That's all for today, we're just over a week away from the official opening day of the newly owned Longley Beach Theme Park! I can't wait! See you again soon!

Longley Beach Theme Park Sold To US Investor Group. You have read right, as of today Longley Beach Theme Park has new owners. A group of investors from America have put in an offer which has been accepted to purchase the theme park with full intention of continuing to run the park as a theme park. Along with the purchase of the theme park, the group of investors have also purchased the old public park next to the theme park and fenced off the area and cleared it out. It has been rumoured that this is with full intention to be used as an expansion to the theme park. Below are a couple of photos taken at the park today, which is currently closed for the winter months. The park land along side the theme park and boardwalk has been fenced off. If the rumours are true there is a lot of promise if the park expands! We can't wait to see what the future holds for Longley Beach Theme Park! According to staff at the theme park such as security and maintenance, the theme park will remain the same size for at least another season, with the company investing in redeveloping that area of the park, however with plans to expand, there's a high chance of us seeing a lot more coming the parks way in the next few years! Keep following this story for more on Longley Beach Theme Park's new lease of life!

Opening Day! It has been a really long winter, there has been a lot going on at Longley Beach, especially with the new boardwalk and new additions to the theme park. Today I went down on opening day to have a look around... The car park and monorail were open, the car park was packed so I was expecting the monorail to be quite busy, so I walked instead. The weather was really nice, considering it's only March it was quite warm! The new boardwalk is so much nicer than the old walk to the park, and I've never seen it so busy! The new entrance is all finished. Quite a change to the old, basic entrance! I'm liking the new wooden effect used all over the new boardwalk, including the entrance area to the park. The monorail station inside the park, it was quite busy all day with people coming and going. The way it works is people have to buy tickets in the car park to get to the monorail in order to get in to the park. Trebuchet was busy once again. I don't even need to get in the queue... I can see how busy it is... Today was so busy, it's a nice change to the past where the park has never been this busy. Overall the area is coming along nicely! And to finish off, a nice little bird's eye view of the park for you guys who have asked for it! Thanks for reading guys. Visiting the park again pretty soon!

Thank you all very much for your comments! ----------------------------------------- We're back! It has been one hell of a long winter, with so much work going on around Longley Beach, despite the fact the park still doesn't open for another week, the all new boardwalk is now open and I thought I'd go down while it's quite and show off the all new look boardwalk! According to rumours, the entrance to the boardwalk still isn't finished, there is apparently a new sign still to be put up. Inside we can see a few new buildings! The new Customer Services building is open, not only does it deal with the whole of the Longley Beach area, but it also has maps and other little bits of information for the Theme Park Le Ranch is a new restaurant opened on the Boardwalk, I went with my family the other night for a meal and it is absolutely amazing, the food is very high quality! Once Summer arrives it'll certainly be nice to sit outside at the tables! A View of the new developments on the Boardwalk. Testing on the rides has started, including the monorail! The entrance to the theme park is completely boarded up for now as the entrance to the park gets it's finishing touches to it's new look! Boomerang testing! It's quite busy on the boardwalk, there were rumours of a cinema being built on the boardwalk but it seems those plans fell through! Until opening day next week... Have a great week!

Final Day of Season 2! This season Longley Beach have done absolutely nothing to mark the end of the season, which I am quite disappointed about. Anyway as I arrived today I noticed the entrance has all new signs up! Boomerang was quite popular again today, I don't understand why it's always quite popular at the end of the season, probably cause people might believe it's the last season for it? The Monorail train has been parked up in the station inside the park. A couple of people asked for a bird's eye view of the park from above, it's not great but I'll be getting some more next season! I didn't hang around at the park for long today, went home but had a little peek at all the work going on at the Boardwalk, all of the shops have gone and new construction has started! As I was heading home I was looking at how much Longley Beach Theme Park has transformed the area in the last couple of years, it's just a shame the park is still struggling to bring in the guests! Back next season!

Summer is out of the way now. It has been a decent season for Longley Beach Theme Park. I went down there today and firstly, they're testing the monorail! After a very busy season, from the beginning right through the summer, suddenly the park has just died... One of the girls who works on 'Boomerang' said to me at midday that the ride had only run 9 cycles in the hour and a half since the park opened today, that's not good! There was no queue for Boomerang all day! The chairswing was empty, the staff certainly look bored with how empty it is! From the queue of Chairswing, you get a nice little view of Boomerang. As I left I walked over to get a shot of The Boardwalk, this is meant to be getting a huge make over this winter, who knows that's going to happen! A view from the park on my way home. I'll probably visit again before the end of the season to see what's going on. I'm going to assume the busy start and summer will have saved the park this season, because with how empty it is now, they look like they could be in trouble again. Comments and Feedback Welcome!

Hey Guys, so it's the middle of summer here and it's so hot! I went for a little trip today, here's my update! We can see the park is already open and everything is running! Walking down the street opposite the new Longley Beach Theme Park Car Park, I can see something is happening there! The monorail train has arrived! It's a smart looking train! I wonder how long it will be before they start test running it? I didn't stay in the park for long today, it was far too busy for my liking. Sometimes in the summer the park almost lets too many people in, it's crazy! It was far too hot for me to be walking around all day, so I gave up for today. Until Next Time!

Hey Guys, I've been down to Longley Beach again today, things are changing massively around there now, I'm sure you'll be able to tell for yourself when you see the pictures... The building in the car park has been finished, and what's that coming from the side of the building? A monorail has been built going from the car park across to the park! However, judging by some locals and the newspaper, it hasn't gone down well! The boardwalk has a new look! It was pretty busy in the park today, however the park is in all sorts of mess at the minute, Wild Mouse has been removed and the new monorail station has replaced it, although work is still going on there... A view from above the car park. According to reports, guests can buy tickets from the monorail station in the car park, and in order to get in to the actual monorail platform, every guest will need to go through turnstiles using their tickets, seeing at the monorail takes guests right in to the park. Anyway, apparently the monorail will not be open for this season, apparently it is all planned for next season, there are also rumours spreading that the boardwalk is getting a make over, with joint funding from the council and Longley Beach Theme Park, only time will tell I guess!

Longley Beach Theme Park Purchase Old Construction Site. Just when I thought Longley Beach was going down hill, they surprise us all with the purchase of the derelict construction site on Pawley Street, Although the site has already been turned in to a car park for visitors to the theme park, the site has been labelled a 'site for future development'. So, who knows what we're going to see in the future. However, we can see some development already happening on the site, along with the all new car park. The rumours currently circulating are that this new building may be the site of a hotel linked to the theme park, however I don't see the point considering there is a new built hotel from a well known franchise directly behind it. As you can see, the theme park is only a 5 minute walk away, so it's quite a decent location, although some locals are not happy about some of the traffic building up during the mornings when some visitors arrive. The development site is going up quite quick, although who knows what it's going to be right now. I didn't visit the park today, however as I walked past the boardwalk I saw something quite interesting down outside the park. It was working on 'Wild Mouse', can't be sure whether they're fixing it, or removing it? Anyway, I'll be visiting again very soon so we can find out what happens with the wild mouse and the future development site. Thanks For Reading!

Longley Shopping Centre plans fall through! So, just when the area was looking like it might start to pick up, the plans for the new Longley Shopping Centre have fell through, resulting in the building site being left empty for the time being until a new buyer is found. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In other news... Opening Day Season 2 So here it is, opening day, three weeks on and I'm back to finally get on these new rides. From the outside, the numbers look promising! Yeah, it's pretty busy in here, although for mid-March, it's surprisingly warm, so I'm not surprised! Punisher was very popular, although over the course of the day I did see several people throwing up after going on it. So... Wild Mouse wasn't open. I did actually look around for someone to ask why the ride wasn't open. But didn't see anybody who seemed to have an answer. Although... If it was only a technical issue, the cars would be back on the track... right? 'Trebuchet' didn't run smoothly all day. The ride closed a total of three times during the day for technical issues. I did however get on it twice... It's amazing! The queue for 'Boomerang' was long as always, it has always been quite a popular rollercoaster. So that brings an end to the first day of the new season. I no doubt will be visiting a few times again this season, I'll be sure to keep you updated! Feedback and Comments welcome!

Preview Day! Along with our new season tickets this season, we got an invite to the special 'Preview Day' to see the new additions to the park before anyone else. So, I wasn't going to turn down an offer like that! There was a fair few people going in today, it seems finally adding new stuff to the park has attracted a few more season ticket sales! Security manned the entrance, in case non season ticket holders tried sneaking in. Quite impressive... The Burger King has been moved from opposite the carousel to a new location opposite Boomerang. 'Trebuchet' is the new rollercoaster added to the park, a Half Pipe coaster! The older rides have been given new paint jobs... So has Boomerang! The entrance to 'Trebuchet' A new toilet building has been placed along side the entrance. Trebuchet was testing all day, they obviously don't want those opening day hiccups. The Dodgems building has been completely rebuilt. Fits in with the area well now! Everything was testing today, apart from Wild Mouse... All the cars are gone? 'The Punisher' is another new addition this year. They were also testing this all morning. Finally I'll give you an overview of the whole new area, I can't wait to get on these new rides and try them out in three weeks time when the park opens for a new season! See you all again very soon!
