The Abandoned Pleasure Island Theme Park
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- 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 RUclips channel.
To see a video of the park operating, check out our vlog from 2016 here: • Pleasure Island Vlog A...

Theme Park Worldwide . It's just so sad to see it go . I only had went a few times 😢. Think something else should be put there. I'm so glad u got to see how good it was in of of your videos before it closed. 😃btw I've seen most ur videos and think there great
I had so many amazing memories here when I was a child. It's so sad to watch :-(
MALOBLIVE same
MALOBLIVE it closed when I was ten and I went every summer still my memories rotting away
COINS AND MORE UK same
Same I'm really sad that it closed but the land is being sold now
Ikr😿😿😿😿😿😿
Its very sad how good theme parks get abandoned and destroyed over time. RIP Pleasure Island.
My childhood park gone just like that
Jammer112L I know the feels. Mine is being turned into accomodation.
Angelicwings1 What was yours?
Jammer112L same
Jammer112L agreed
Jammer112L same here
RIP my childhood park, you will be missed
Josh Kirkham yep this was my childhood
Its insane that there is a theme park that has just been forgotten, but it looks ready to open back up.
and another one bites the dust 😭😭😥 RIP one of the best parks in the UK
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 :)
Now it’s Displeasure Island. :,-(
It's so sad!
It is sad to see parks just get left like that to think people walked there and rid those rides
This is shocking! :o I never knew this closed down. once again another park lost in England. such a shame.
It sure is such a shame
camelot…. american adventure……
pleasure island…… goodbye trio!
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
Do u know if they’ve done anything to it since?
It's still abandoned
@@lukeotter898 yes still abandoned but no more ride there
This is one of those "will the last person left in England turn the lights out" moments that haunt us theme park fanatics. Thanks Shawn!!!
Pleasure island was my whole childhood. It really makes me tear up seeing all my favourite rides gone. The tinkaboo town and mini mine train were the best I had so much fun there I can’t believe they closed
I feel like my childhood has been ripped up into tiny pieces...
yeah same, RIP
This is really sad... The park had such a bright future and it looked so nice there, and I still don't quite understand why it had to close... It's sad to see it go like that
I loved coming here! i still miss it and drive past a few times a month.
I love to see abandoned parks and buildings, theres something mysterious and eerie about them. I really want to go to Pripyat, my gf says thats weird, dont know what she's talking about;)
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.
Had a few good memorable days out here, so sad.
This video makes me sad . I used to holiday here a visit my nana and grandad and now they are no longer with us and pleasure island isn't either , thanks for the footage it was nice to see it
October 2016 this park closed, loved the boomerang
S WB I loved the tinkerboo water ride my childhood
This has ripped so many childhoods apart, just to think that happened is so so sad, flamingo land is still my local park, I'm still a teen and I can't imagine a place like flamingo land shutting down, its just devastating that it couldn't be saved
Thank you so much for uploading another amazing video I’m going through a lot recently my cousin committed suicide on Wednesday which was only five years old and it’s nice that you upload these videos to make me more happier thank you so much love you theme park worldwide ❤️
We're very sorry to hear that awful news
Theme Park Worldwide thank you 🙏
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.
I love your videos I have been a subscriber since your asia mega trip many thanks for being the great RUclipsr and keep up the great work
Thank you very much!
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
Theme park Logan. I hope this doesnt happen to Lightwater Valley too, because they have my fave roller coaster. . The Ultimate. Gonna have to visit that park in 2020.
That was my childhood park. Loved that place back in the day.
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?
Yes I agree he needs to do that, pleasure island and American adventure 2 of my childhood parks
And Camelot
I plan to do that in the near future!
Theme Park Worldwide Maybe around September time? You could meet me in the McCormack's pub on the 15th September. ;)
I loved this theampark 😩😩
I went to that theme park a few years back, it was great. The best theme park I had ever gone to. Now... I only just found out it’s closed , so sad ;-;
It's such a shame that the park closed
Pleasure island will always be remembered in our,hearts
Who's watching this in 2019? RIP Pleasure Island :(
am watching in 2020
R.I.P this will always be remembered 😥😫😢
another smashing vlog , used to love this park , not so busy before it closed , no queues , starting to enjoy this series
The music made me cry my childhood 😭
I love these types of videos.
It was a fun place and it’s hard to believe that this and some other great parks in this country have closed yet Wicksteed is still up and running.
great video. its a shame parks have to close like this
My child hood I went there every year and still go past it shame it’s gone
Great video Shawn
Great to see a different take on the abandoned pleasure island. Seen so many people do a video from there. Great effort.
Is this easy to get in to? On holiday at the park next to it and was going to look today.
We used to go every year as a family it's such a shame to have seen it abandoned...
i think merlin could have brought the park so they have a nice family park.
alton and Thorpe rides are too big and LEGOLAND is to popular therefore family's wont visit due to crowds
Vintage Bricks Chessington?
so very sad ,had some great days out there.
I'd never been to Pleasure Island, but I started to get a bit emotional watching this because it feels like we're losing a lot of theme parks...
I miss this place
Omg chills down my spine
Went there once. Kinda sad to see it closed down.
American Adventure, Camelot and now Pleasure Island. Such a shame to see all these amazing parks left to rot
Tom G Camelot was my favourite childhood theme park. I was 14 last time I was there :(
Loved this park went to it and loved the rides there it is a shame that the place has come to the end
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... 😞
Oh my god. You came to my home town today? I'M FROM CLEETHORPES! :O
We visited last month to film this
Still though
This is amazing I live in cleethorpes and it’s so sad to see it like this. It was the first theme park I went to and the first time I went on an inverting coaster. #DiscoverTheMagic
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.
Its a shame to see the park like this, it still remains like this now such a shame
Can we please hold a remembrance to the terrifying little kid ride near the start? I’m sorry but that scarred me for life, especially the dimly lit village in it too.
Never been here but still sad to see another theme park derelict. We knock em down , in Florida they just keep building em !
On a lighter note you forgot to put yourself walking off into the sunset 😉
Bluemanfan 130 *EVERY DRAMATIC RUclipsR'S END VIDEO SCENE EVER*
Don't worry that shot will be in the documentary I film in the future ;)
Theme Park Worldwide 👍🏼
the only thing that's slightly comforting is that it looks like quote a few rides have been salvaged, such as the boomerang, the booster and the drop tower
A place that would echo with laughter only echoes in silence now :(
Sad what a good theme park !
Remember going here as a child
If it come back will it go in a new place in cleethorpes Because of haven Thorpe park Holiday park.
only every went here twice but was a good park
So sad to see :(. I know it was a family park put to always a shame to see it in this state. Want makes it worse however is the rides that have just been left to rot and not given a new lease of life at another park :(.
Thanks for sharing this though Shaun
My local park whilst growing up. Sad to see it's demise, but hopefully something worthwhile can be developed in it's place.
Matt Neale it could do with a prmosing company to purchase the land and put a bit more money into the park
it looks so sad to see all of these rides that have gone from being really popular and busy to all rusty and warn down 😭😭
Looks so deserted, wow
awesome video , it a shame a park like this is abandon
so sad to see a park gone its crazy to think this is what could of happened to fantasy island skegness a few years ago
Hey Shaun did you buy anything at the auction if so could you do a video on it
I didn't sadly
Very interesting. I’d love to see you do more abandoned ones 🤔
How sad. To many local retired people objected to the noise, which meant the park could not operate after 4.30pm, and could not open any new rides. It needed a big new ride to draw the public in, but didn't have the visitor numbers to pay for any new rides. Such a shame, it could have been a great park.
Thanks for sharing an insight on the park
I only ever went there once with my family and boomerang was my first coaster and we was planing to go there again but before we knew it was closed
If this was ALTON TOWERS I'LL GO TO HEAVEN WITH IT
Do you have any footage of the auction from the 21st october?
Brilliant Vlog 😀😀😀so sad the park is closed and just left to rot ☹️☹️
It’s so sad to see theme parks go. Two parks in my local area are gone forever. Parts of one, Fantasy Glades, is to be partially restored but it’s going to be accomodation from what I understand.
I was devastated when I first found out about this the hydro max defo my favourite then itd have to be the scary ride forgot what it was called now
The music is so depressing but so good, does anyone know what it is?
It's a piano instrumental I found online
good vid another theme park graveyard
How did you get access to enter the abandoned park? Would you get arrested for trespassing?
Frontier Coasters I think maybe he got asked to go because I’ve heard that they’re still animals being looked after by workers there (I don’t know if that is true). Anyone correct me if I’m wrong x
Frontier Coasters oh I’ve just read the last bit of the description, there was something like an auction so they let him walk round the park
There was an auction for what was left. Parts of the park were accessible on the day of the auction.
As mentioned in the description we visited for the auction day that meant we could gain access to certain areas of the park
Did you get any thing shawn
I never went, but it's a real shame, because it looks nice.
I am watching this from the future and I live next to cleethorps I pass it in the car and see things rotting and water slides in peace’s r.i.p 🥺
Rip tpw 50k park, you will be missed but not forgotten
I really hope the next park to end up like this isn't going to be lightwater Valley
Gutted because this park was local. But I kept putting of going for bigger parks like alton towers, and i never got to experience this park. I guess it was because people like me this park ended up closing. We should appreciate all theme parks, especially those on our doorstep.
It was a great park and it's such a shame to see it like this
Is the tinkaboo boats and signs for sale? If so are they still for sale,
Not now sadly
Theme Park Worldwide that is a shame im on look out for old camerlot and pleasure island items. I hope to find some soon
you should deffo do an abandoned themepark series. i do urbex for photography so obviously safety permitting. Could this be a regular thing?
Got some footage from walking inside the park when I went to pick something up from the auction:( sad to see my local park be vandalised and such
Did you get anything at the auction?
I didn't sadly
Shawn, nobody takes this song seriously.
It's sooooo sad to see Pleasure Island abandent
Did you go to light water valley today?
We did indeed, a vlog from Lightwater Valley and Flamingo Land is coming soon!
Theme Park Worldwide i went on at the end of the day on the ultimate in the rain on the front row and i saw you getting off the train before me. The rain literally felt like tiny needles whipping my face 😂
Are you going to do a documentary on the Camlot Theme Park? These documentarys are great!
I plan to film one next!
RIP PLEASURELAND 1993 - 2009 😥😢😰🤧😭
The park closed in 2016!
Genuinely didn’t know that park had shut.
The place where u made your 50,000 RUclips subscribers has gone so sad 😢 hate seeing theme parks close in the UK or anywhere else in the world for that matter
It sure is very sad, that park was special to us for that very reason
So sad I didn’t get the chance to go 😥
