Ok this was the third time i had come to Southport to ride Traumatizer and both times before it had been shut so i drove to Blackpool instead. But this time it was open so in we went.

Pleasureland is a small compact park and even though it was hot, it was very quiet which was a surprise.

As the park is small it wont take you a long time to get around so plenty of re-rides for us today.

So first things first off to Traumatizer.

This ride really stands out in this park as everything else is dwarfed by it

With 6 inversions there was enough for any upsidedown junkie.

It is a fast ride a bit bumpy but no where nere as bumpy as say Colossus at Thorpe park, so it was a really good ride.

Traumatizer i think is one of the best inverts we have in the uk after the B&M's OF Tussards.

With speed and inversions this is one of the most exciting rides around in the uk now.

If you get chance to go to Southport be sure to ride this coaster you won't be dissapointed.

Cyclone is the big woody of the two in the park and has an S shape lift hill a lot of warp factor going on there

It wasn't bad a bit slow, but a nice bunny hop section at the end just before the station.

This ride had the longest queues of the day as they were only running one car.

King Solomons Mine is sort of like wild mouse in Blackpool but a lot bumpier, the air time was very good but hurt.

With only a seatbelt under you armpits it makes it feel unsafe but isn't bad.

Wild Cat was stuffed into the corner of the park.

Wild Cat was the smoothest Pinfari coaster i have been on so far, i was quite shocked how nice it rode.

We had a few re-rides on this as it was so good.

I have ridden a few of these Pinfari rides and this was the best of all of them.

Just for you credit whores out there Big Apple coaster.......

These rides are so commen around theme parks these days they should have an award for the most ridden kiddie coaster by adults...

Spaceshot launch ride.

It didn't seem as big as some of the other shot rides we have ridden, but it did reach the top on the second bounce which was pretty cool.

Ah what is a park without a Pirateship.

One of the laltest attractions in Southport is The Big Wheel .

The Lost Dinosaus of the Sahara big queues for this ride.

Your classic ghost train.

Tagada is the usual people mover ride.

Flying Camels what next PIGS? .

Tina and wes just love the Pink Panther.

Carousels are the same in most places and here is another. .

Cattapiller i remember these rides at the old travelling fairs when people used to make out under the cover. ... Overal Southport was a good little park and as they were only charging £10 to get in it was a bargin.
