The Abandoned Pleasure Island Theme Park

Pleasure Island Family Theme Park was located in Cleethorpes and opened back in 1993. The park featured a fantastic variety of family & thrill attractions mixed in with two brilliant dark rides and many shows. From 1993-2009 the park was owned by the same family that own Flamingo Land in North Yorkshire. In 2010 the park separated from the Flamingo Land group meaning it had to operate without a major investor. Over the years many rides came and went, with Pleasure Island having many busy seasons. After declining numbers for a few years, at the end of the 2016 season it was announced that the park would not re-open for the 2017 season. Throughout 2017 many rides were removed and sold to other theme parks around the world. In March 2018 Pleasure Island held an auction to sell off various theming elements and the remainder of rides from the park.
The day of the auction allowed for us to walk around the abandoned Pleasure Island Theme Park for the first time since it closed. It also meant we could film this video from both inside and outside the park for our RU-vid channel.
To see a video of the park operating, check out our vlog from 2016 here: • Pleasure Island Vlog A...

@GriceBurger96 6 лет назад

I remember going here multiple times as a kid, I was born in Grimsby right next to Cleethorpes and have since moved away. Such a shame to see this place go yet seeing this video did bring back some happy memories :)

@dumbbutagirlboss4839 6 лет назад

Its insane that there is a theme park that has just been forgotten, but it looks ready to open back up.

@rikkatt 6 лет назад

this was my local park , it was sad to see it go.In all fairness i felt they didnt try to keep it going , if prices were reduced i feel it would have been more popular.On bonfire night each year they used a wristband system & cheaper prices which seemed to work well & the park was very busy.Im interested to know what will happen to whats now left there only time will tell i guess

@kevingreen9428 6 лет назад

Thanks for doing this video, it makes us all realise that we have to support are local independent theme parks or we will lose them. What a great job Blackpool pleasure beach and dream world in Margate do to stay in business and keep bringing new rides to us in a very difficult economic climate.

@Travelmatt23 6 лет назад

Thanks for filming and making this. It feels such a shame the UK lost yet another charming theme park, like American Adventure, Camelot and others before it. Whilst I sadly never had the opportunity to visit, I was looking to planning a trip there for 2017, however sadly it was too late.

@sambee8982 6 лет назад

Hey Shawn, why don't you come to Pleasure Island and do a video where you talk about it's history during it's operational years like what you did with the American Adventure?

@swb9144 6 лет назад

Yes I agree he needs to do that, pleasure island and American adventure 2 of my childhood parks

We stayed on the caravan site just next door to the park and we were there many times in its opening season. It cost £6 to enter the park. I remember they had an outdoor cafe and they had amazing chicken nuggets.

@themeparkinformation935 5 лет назад

I really hope this doesn't happen anymore because for theme park enthusiasts its upsetting for loosing another park I really hope that this doesn't happen to lightwater or flamingo land or Oakwood because we've lost some great parks overtime like Camelot pleasure island and many more up and down the country my favourite ride here was tinker boos sweet adventure because of the soundtrack btw love the vids shaun

@JammyJamie_tv 6 лет назад

The sad music makes it feel emotional, unfortunately I never got to experience Pleasure island in it’s full potential, it’s a shame that many locals lost a park as well as we lost some pretty unique attractions! Hopefully one day we could see a new park or something decent to replace... hopefully not housing... 😞

@RY30DM 6 лет назад

That was a really nice looking park (without ever visiting), and it would've been flat ride heaven for me! From watching your visit, it looked like they operated some of them in manual mode. Did you ever ride Alakazam (Huss Fly Away)? I managed one ride on the version at Six Flags New England in '04, and that was a strange restraint system. It was like you were the waffle in a press.

@ThemeParkWorldwide 6 лет назад

It did have some great rides, the huss fly away was strange!
