    Over the shoulders... let's remember the wild mouse at Blackpool that just had a seatbelt! 🤣 I will also forever wonder just what the button really does.

    • @LiftHillsandThrills
      @LiftHillsandThrills  2 роки тому

      I’m pretty sure in an alternative universe that button is doing something incredible

    Lovely, quaint little park. Only an hour away from me and didn't even realise until this vid!! Owned by Wicksteed Charitable Trust so not sure if they will/can expand. Keep it up Sean, crackin vlog. 👍

    I'm in the U.S. (by Kennywood Park) but I just love this park. I'm glad they are trying to keep it going and people seem to be supporting their efforts.

    • @LiftHillsandThrills
      @LiftHillsandThrills  Рік тому +1

      They sure do, it’s got such a relaxed and lovely feel to it

      @@LiftHillsandThrills it kinda of irritates me that someone damaged their new signage for the 2 coastes. I noticed it in a couple other videos. But still a beautiful park.

      @LiftHillsandThrills  2 роки тому

    East park in hull has one of those classic water chute rides. You get absolutely drenched on that one. I believe the one in hull is 96 years old

    Lightwater valley used to have the exact same ride on the lake....I must have been about 8 yrs so 33 years ago.....think it was called the devils cascade

    • @LiftHillsandThrills
      @LiftHillsandThrills  2 роки тому +1

      Nice, I saw a Water Chute video from overseas earlier but that one was on wheels and literally dived into a lake... haha basically a makeshift Tidal Wave at Thorpe Park

    What a canny little park, looks perfect for families and those of us who look odd at parks 😁

    Our local council needs to have a look at this park… plenty of land around to have our own park like this..

    • @LiftHillsandThrills
      @LiftHillsandThrills  2 роки тому +1

      I was thinking the same about some of our own but the rides would be trashed here 😞 we can’t look after anything #ChavCentral

    This park sadly needs alot of investment into it over 5 years its change soo much I went only a month ago and felt sad it was missing half there rides no shops at bottom area it was a mess the lake polluted and no go karts which was the main attraction its a shame

    • @LiftHillsandThrills
      @LiftHillsandThrills  2 роки тому

      I thought it looked great but naturally don’t have previous years to compare it to. The Go Karts looked in a sorry state I must say but everything else certainly looked well maintained / landscaped
