The seagull riding was hilarious 😂 Also, I just wanna say that to see you being invited to officially open new rides is amazing and very well deserved for all you do for the UK Amusement Industry! 😊
I got really emotional when you opened the ride, so lovely, then cried with laughter at you two riding the waltzer with Sid the seagull! 🤣 When you said it's the highlight of my career that finished me off! Not sure whether I was crying with emotion or laughter! 😂❤️ Brilliant! Xx
Great vlog! I was working as a lifeguard on both days of the airshow, it was super busy so glad you got to experience the atmosphere of it all! Only thing you missed was the night flights, there's helicopters and planes shooting fireworks out - pretty epic to see! Either way, great to see you back in clacton!
Shawn and Charlotte, That Jurassic Show was amazing and the park does things so well, it's a gem for everyone. I am so glad they honored Theme Park Worldwide with the passes, you both are so positive and fun, Cheers, Rik
a colleague (now retired) grew loads of different succulent plants (including cactuses) and would show us one at each virtual coffee break....was great :)
Great content as always. When you mentioned the looping star. I thought it was the one from margate- bembom brothers. Hence my first ever roller coaster. Would love to ride that again. 😀
That was such a brilliant vlog was smiling throughout to open a ride then ride it with the park mascot is a rarity so funny the Jurrasic Pier took me by surprise looked so impressive for a seaside amusement park the fireworks were fantastic and themed to the war loved the narration and specially selected music never been before but looks so underrated would love to visit there one day
What a great park !! Made your day sharing a ride with 2 Birds !! Lol. Double level Go Karts, like you say, very similar to the ones in Orlando Fun parks and better with wooden flooring and over taking allowed. Done the ones in Funspot Orlando 3 or 4 courses but concrete flooring and bit restricted on Speed. Looked great here.
Went to Clacton Pier today, those Waltzers are mega!! Walking up tho I just had images of Shawn cutting that ribbon then having the ride with the Charlotte & the seagull
Opening a ride, then riding it next to a seagull, and then to see the red arrows flying past later on. Thats a pretty classic day out! 👍👍 Have a brilliant , and safe trip out in the USA 🇺🇸
Great vlog. I've been visiting this pier since the 1970s, even, and never realised it would once again become as good as it is today. The animatronics on Jurassic Pier are fantastic. Being completely honest, I'd prefer it if it was just a walkthrough, with more herbivores such as stegosaurus and triceratops. Can't wait to see what they do next. Hopefully one day there'll be a great coaster on the pier. Imagine if they got someone like Gerstlauer to make a modern version of the Steel Stella!
The Looping Star was my first ever roller coaster, at Butlins in Ayr back in the late 80s-early 90s... Don't know if it's the exact same ride because the trains look different but it's the exact same layout... ... It was the coaster that started it all for me... Thanks for the memories!!!
Hi shawn and Charlotte what a great vlog loved seeing you open the Waltzer 🎉🎉 brilliant. You both on the waltzer with sid the seagull 😀😀😀. Thankyou for a great vlog you do us so proud. Thankyou love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
cant believe how downhill clacton has gone as a child i allways had 2places i enjoyed going clacton and southend but mainly clacton because i felt it had a bigger selection of rides to choose from but looking at clacton now and how much it has declined southend would be my first choice so much more at southend much more thrill rides and much more family friendly
Most excellent video - another place to visit - love Sidney the Seagull and my favorite ride going there would be Jurassic 4d Cinema followed by Water Splash, Go-karts and the Dodgems.
Another nice vlog from you both, really enjoyed and always 100% look forward to the next. Nice short shots of the RAF Red Arrows, they were down Folkestone last weekend, aswell Eastbourne, didn't go to display, but hoping to attend next year or sometime again in the future? Loved the look of the new indoor dinosaur themed attraction, looks like a lot of fun and sad that Aquarium has been removed as it was an ok attraction, could of added more to it, but I guess with it no longer there, its what it is at the end of the day. Nice fun game of adventure golf, both myself and my friend had a competition at Southend on Sea - Adventure Golf last year which was an fun experience. Need to edit and upload it at some point as filmed on Go Pro for that aswell including same in Hastings when down there. Good job at opening Waltzers, love them, rode one at Bluewater in Kent while at Winter Wonderland last year, was wild and really pushed it riders back massively into seat, but worth the thrilling experience. Nice video, vlog as always, cheers again and look forward to the next. 😀👍
Whenever im planning to visit a theme park or other in the UK, i always preview it on your channel first because i know that chances are, youve been there 😂 you guys are the best 👍
Great vlog TPW crew. Some great rides there in Clacton Pier and you even had the bonus of the Airshow and The Red Arrows. The Jurassic Park attraction was incredible a great visitor attraction. I haven’t visited the town for a few years I guess I need to give it a go sometime.
This Log Flume has a fantastic layout that looks similar to the one at West Midlands Safari park and I saw one at Barry Island that looked like that when I went there
this Log Fiume has a fantastic story at West Midlands safari park and l saw one at Barry island 🏝️ last year when you visited it was amazing 🤩 and outstanding views of honeymoon
Loved that! I've been meaning to visit Clacton again, I went all the time as a kid. The only two credits i'm missing in Essex are Looping Star on the pier and Shark Coaster at pavilion. Will have to go before the season ends, the pier is looking really good!
Amazing how Clacton has a lot of rides that Southend hasnt got. I was considering a day to Clacton from Southend this last (8th September 2024) but never got round to it!
been over a year sinve ive been the clacton, loved the go carts. The looping star was being built last time i went there too, and the log flume wasnt open.
Great vlog, i enjoyed watching you do the golf and the fireworks and air show as well, the waltzer was funny too, you looked likde you really enjoyed yourselves too. Good to see a full vlog from Clacton as you have only done brief vlogs before. Pity you didnt get your coaster creds from the other park, you will have to go back and get them.
That was a great video you made Theme Park Worldwide! Clacton Pier has a great history and great rides too! I like the part where you ride with the Seagull! It was hilarious lol! 😂 Anyways, can't wait for your next vlog!
went back to clacton pier for 3 days just got back as of typing this. and man, i forgot how addicting those gokarts were. roller coaster was very rough. and that turn after the loop is a shoulder/head basher
Just returned from Clacton Pier today - first visit in a few years and mightily impressed - I think the ride with the Seagull on the Waltzer should become a bookable extra... we will do the Jurassic experience, I came from 10 behind to beat Victoria on the brilliant golf. The East Coast trip has been great
Bit more trivia. Before the looping star moved to the roof top in scottland, it was at Great yarmouth until 1993 I wanted to go on but was too young. Came back to ride it the next year and it was gone. Finally got to ride it at Clacton last year 29 years later.
Shawn .Those three planes were .The Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight. Spitfire, Lancaster and Hurricane. I'm sure you know. Would have been nice to see more filming of them though..👍
Was at Colchester zoo on friday 25/08/2023 and saw some of the planes especially the red arrows and heard them (and knew straight away they were the red arrows), before I even saw them and couldn't think where they were headed but someone mentioned Clacton so obviously where they were headed!!!
I enjoy the English smaller parks like this - could you possibly let us know some of the rides/ prices/ admission and associated prices as it helps us budget and plan a bit better in these economic conditions in UK. Enjoyed the vlog though.👍👍
The ride with the Seagull... epic! It shall be included in the TPW greatest hits for sure!
It was a brilliant moment!
I saw your comment, before watching. I was expecting something random, involving an actual seagull! 😂
Sydney the Seagull keeping on riding like a champ was EXCELLENT
I can imagine opening a ride would have been on your bucket list congratulations 🎉
Would be very cool if Steven Seagull turned up to open it - may have been as the wearer of Sydney the Seagull costume.
It was brilliant!
What a moment for TPW! Much deserved as you both do a fantastic job. There's not a vlog that I don't enjoy - keep up the great work guys.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
The seagull riding was hilarious 😂
Also, I just wanna say that to see you being invited to officially open new rides is amazing and very well deserved for all you do for the UK Amusement Industry! 😊
It was a fantastic moment! Thank you for watching!
look at shawn the youtube sensation opening up for the waltzer!!! i cheered and cried!!!way to go!!!
It was a fantastic moment!
Clacton Pier was a huge part of my childhood and I still go on an annual visit to there. It makes me happy that it's so popular
It’s such a great pier!
I got really emotional when you opened the ride, so lovely, then cried with laughter at you two riding the waltzer with Sid the seagull! 🤣 When you said it's the highlight of my career that finished me off! Not sure whether I was crying with emotion or laughter! 😂❤️ Brilliant! Xx

What a brilliant day for you. The pier looks fantastic with so much variety of things to do. xx
There’s so much to do there!
I took a trip to clacton pier last week! Definitely my favourite beach
The pier is really improved! Nice job guys!
It’s a fantastic attraction
a colleague (now retired) grew loads of different succulent plants (including cactuses) and would show us one at each virtual coffee break....was great :)
This New Walter Looks So Cool and I Can't believe that THEY LET THE MASCOT ON WITH YOU AS WELL!😂
It was so much fun!
Great content as always. When you mentioned the looping star. I thought it was the one from margate- bembom brothers. Hence my first ever roller coaster. Would love to ride that again. 😀
Thanks for watching!
You guys make the greatest couple. ❤
Thank you
I totally agree I’ve said this all the way along ❤
You guys give me the giggles, what made me laugh was when Charlotte tripped over the golf course 😂
I love how you plug new attractions. But honestly, it looks like Clacton Pier really cares about making all this work. And it shows.
You know something's good when Shawn says it's divine 🎉🎉🎉🎉
So tasty!
Great vlog Shawn, you well deserved opening the ride, your a fun loving guy.
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your memories!
I haven’t seen a waltzer ride for decades. I thought they were all phased out. It’s nice to see they still exist. 😊
There’s still so many out there to enjoy!
It's only just came back

8:39 Sydney the seagull is so cute. Wish more theme parks would have a mascot like him.

I remember when the looping star was in Aberdeen. My first inversion on a coaster, also the only coaster so rough it gave me a nosebleed 🤣
Great vlog TPW crew. Some great rides there in Clacton Pier and you even had the bonus of the Airshow and The Red Arrows. The Jurassic Park attraction was incredible a great visitor attraction. I haven’t visited the town for a few years I guess I need to give it a go sometime.

Very good golf Charlotte lovely 👏🏻

Congratulations on opening there waltzer Charlotte was really enjoying
Thank you!
Amazing how Clacton has a lot of rides that Southend hasnt got. I was considering a day to Clacton from Southend this last (8th September 2024) but never got round to it!
been over a year sinve ive been the clacton, loved the go carts. The looping star was being built last time i went there too, and the log flume wasnt open.
It’s definitely worth a return visit!
Great vlog, i enjoyed watching you do the golf and the fireworks and air show as well, the waltzer was funny too, you looked likde you really enjoyed yourselves too. Good to see a full vlog from Clacton as you have only done brief vlogs before. Pity you didnt get your coaster creds from the other park, you will have to go back and get them.

Funny how I was just there last Saturday 😅 if only I came on Monday and met you guys irl
I'm from Clacton on Sea and grew up there but left 13 years ago but coming back to live
The pinfari zl42 is a guilty pleasure of mine being my first inverting coaster
That was a great video you made Theme Park Worldwide! Clacton Pier has a great history and great rides too! I like the part where you ride with the Seagull! It was hilarious lol! 😂 Anyways, can't wait for your next vlog!
It was great!
Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte

Love clacton on sea very very much ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a great video really really enjoyed this one of the best you've done in the UK keep it up TPW😂❤
Thank you!
went back to clacton pier for 3 days just got back as of typing this. and man, i forgot how addicting those gokarts were. roller coaster was very rough. and that turn after the loop is a shoulder/head basher
The Waltzers was a massive highlight of the vlog! Especially riding with a seagull which was a very funny moment! 🤣
It was epic!
Brilliant Vlog, nice to see you opening the newly refurbished waltzer, it looks amazing! 😎 Shoutout to Sydney the Seagull! 😆
It was great!
Just returned from Clacton Pier today - first visit in a few years and mightily impressed - I think the ride with the Seagull on the Waltzer should become a bookable extra... we will do the Jurassic experience, I came from 10 behind to beat Victoria on the brilliant golf. The East Coast trip has been great
They have done some great things these past few years!
10:11 has to make it onto the 2023 highlight reel! 🤣
Definitely
This looks like the best day ever!
It was brilliant!
We need a compilation vid of Charlotte riding 'the worst💦' water rides 😂😂
Bit more trivia. Before the looping star moved to the roof top in scottland, it was at Great yarmouth until 1993 I wanted to go on but was too young. Came back to ride it the next year and it was gone. Finally got to ride it at Clacton last year 29 years later.
Amazing video 🎉❤❤
im in the video lol i see u there and took picture with u and iv seen the vid and im in it lol
Great to see you!
Shawn .Those three planes were .The Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight. Spitfire, Lancaster and Hurricane. I'm sure you know. Would have been nice to see more filming of them though..👍
It was great to see them!
Awesome Video Guys 😄😄
Great video!
Sidney is a legend 12:00
Clacton Pier used to have a corkscrew rollercoaster way back in the 1980s
the Seagull and the Mini golf 😂😂😂😂
I found it funny when Charlotte screamed on the ride at 6:24. 6:27. 7:11. 7:14
Was at Colchester zoo on friday 25/08/2023 and saw some of the planes especially the red arrows and heard them (and knew straight away they were the red arrows), before I even saw them and couldn't think where they were headed but someone mentioned Clacton so obviously where they were headed!!!
They have the same model of the log flume at Skegness pleasure beach
Went here about 3 weeks ago. Went in the soft play area and did the arcade only spend about 30 with the Clayton card you to up. I took my children 😊
I think that they named the junior coaster the Wild Mouse because of the Spinning Coaster!😂😂
I enjoy the English smaller parks like this - could you possibly let us know some of the rides/ prices/ admission and associated prices as it helps us budget and plan a bit better in these economic conditions in UK. Enjoyed the vlog though.👍👍
Thanks for your feedback!
wow. never heard of this park but it looks so cool
We would definitely recommend a visit!
