Adventure Island (Southend-on-Sea) Sightseeing National

Newest Review: ... Chessington. While it in no way competes with the bigger parks, it's still a good laugh whether you're 8 or 28. The theme park is right on the Pier, next to the amusements and an admittedly not-so-great beach. It is well located, but sadly parking is REALLY bad, and you'll almost definitely have to walk a good 15-20 minutes on a Summer's day to get a space. The park is open-access, and you just buy a wristband to get on the rides, or buy tickets individually. At my last visit, a Wristband for the day was about £15, I think. It's not exactly cheap but then there are tonnes of rides and it does make for a fun day out. My favourite rides in... more

Growing up in Chelmsford, it was a given that I would frequent Adventure Island (or Peter Pan's Adventure Island, as it used to be called when I was really little), and it was a frequent port of call given that my parents could neither afford the tickets nor be arsed to tavel all the way to the likes of Thorpe Park and Chessington. While it in no way competes with the bigger parks, it's still a good laugh whether you're 8 or 28. The theme park is right on the Pier, next to the amusements and an admittedly not-so-great beach. It is well located, but sadly parking is REALLY bad, and you'll almost definitely have to walk a good 15-20 minutes on a Summer's day to ...  Read the complete review

I always find that, no matter where you look, you will never find a theme park or funfair that everyone likes. At a theme park, there will always be someone who doesn't want to go on any of the rides, because they're too scary. Or maybe they don't want to go because they have small children who won't be able to go on anything. Then, at funfairs, you will always get someone who says that the rides are rubbish, and not thrilling enough to live up to expectations. Well, this is where Adventure Island is superb. It provides a fantastic mix of small rides for young children, huge rides for thrill-seekers and common funfair attractions for those who don't fancy ...  Read the complete review

Adventure Island (Southend-on-Sea): Full of family fun (1798 words)

For my cousin's 10th birthday last weekend, she decided she wanted all the family to take a trip to Adventure Island which is on the seafront in Southend, in South-East England. I'd been there last year but only went on a couple of rides and, even a year later, I didn't remember it being so big and having so many rides. The park isn't very big but there are so many rides crammed into it. It is a mixture of both theme park and fun fair containing rides and amusements from both. Although the place was just as busy as any other theme park usually is on a hot summer's day, somehow we never queued for longer than 10 minutes for a ride and most we managed to get ...  Read the complete review

Southend Adventure Island! (254 words)

Adventure island has to be one of my favourite theme parks! Adventure island is situated in Southend right near the beach and the pier. There are several entrances into Adventure Island and then there are places to pay for your wrist band which generally takes a while depending on the queue. Often there are large queues which can be quite depressing and its quite a small park. My all time favourite ride there would have to be rage! probably the scariest ride there, it twists it drops and most of the time you spend upside down! There arent very many thrill rides compared to the bigger parks however. There is the claw ...  Read the complete review

Adventure Island is a theme park on Southend seafront and is next to the world famous pier which is the longest pleasure pier in the world. Adventure Island used to be called Peter Pans and is the biggest free admission park in Britain. This is really good and means that if you don`t want to go on the rides you don`t have to pay a rip-off fee like £30 if you don`t want to go on the rides. If you want to go on the rides you buy a wrist band or you can buy tickets but these are expensive. Adventure Island is no Alton Towers but is still a great day out! The wristbands let you use the rides as much as you want all day. The wristbands vary and some let you ...  Read the complete review
