Advantages: fun day out
Disadvantages: over priced
Pleasure Island is actually a really fun day out, I live in Grimsby and this is in Cleethorpes so it's just a bus ride away for me and my friends, it opens at 10am and these days it shuts about 4-5pm. However if your planning on going anytime soon and you haven't been in a while, take 3 times the amount of money you took before, you are going to need it.
To be fair, Pleasure Island is nothing compared to what it used to be, and no just because i'm not a child anymore, but because it has actually change a lot and I'm not sure if it's for better or for worse. Firstly, the admission fee has gone up dramatically and is now a whooping £18 to get in for an adult and isn't much less, which if it was as large as flamingo land but it's about a quarter of the size not including the animal area.
Please Island does however has a sort of variety of rides, my first ride I still go on first is the tinka boo factory an then they have a little cute sweet shop as you come out of the ride, they seem to have more spinny rides than anything, and only have the minnie mine train and the boomerang as roller coasters and only the boomerange goes upside down once so it could really do with massive improvement there, This 2011 summer opening though they received 'the terrorizer' which is an awesome ride, you sit in a seat which all turn backwards so you are laid on your back, it is also on a big stock that swings and turns upside down whilst the seating area spins around seperately.
There's lots of mini games to play inbetween the rides and restaurants which are quite overpriced, a baguette was about £6 and it wasn't even very nice, they do have free entertainment at Mccormacks bar which you don't even have to pay to get in the park to go. You can get around the park fully on every ride depending on the ques which arn't to big these days in approximately 3 hours.
It's quite a funny day and a lto of the rides are ace but it' just way over priced and to small for a theme park, it's more of a fair.
Summary: more of a fair than a theme park but a good day out
