    used to go as a kid in the 70s, we lived not far in Woburn sands. I loved the train and the water shoot and all the big slides. Glad the train is still there, it used to scare me when it went over the water.

      This looks like a really good place to go for a fun adventurous day out.. I've always wished to fullfill my missions by visiting parks like these, I'm on my epic 7day family Peterborough holiday park vacation which is amazing however I'm really sad😪😪😪😭😭 as I was totally looking forward spending the day with my sister and 5year old niece, unfortunately I can't afford to go now especially as my Lowe back where I'm officially in recovery from my major instant invasive herniated disc life saving surgery 2019 my back is extremely painful seized up grrr, I'm not really crying the tearful emojis I've shared is my expression how I'm feeling.

      The zip wire is permanently closed and is due to be dismantled,when funds available the bottom area will be improved,the racing cars were too expensive to run with staffing and maintenance and not environmental friendly,also the monorail was high cost and simply no longer viable ,the money from these they brought the new ride ,also big names are due to appear in 2022 With the wicksteed open air theatre though cancelled this year due to covid,also the clip and climb is closed, disappointed that you both didn't do the dropslide I have and I am 49! Though when I worked there we had people in their 60's and 70's on it

      They are literally called bumper cars in most parts of the World. That's just an excuse to not maintain the ride. Especially when I think how crazy they are operated on european fairgrounds it's an absolute joke what some themepark prohibit in that ride type.

    Love this park . So many school trips as it was local to where I grew up . Always used to go on the double pirate ship for most of the day when the wristbands came in .
    I was also once on the old water shoot when it came off the rails (cable snapped ) can’t remember exactly what happened was about 1983 . I say old water chute as by the mid ninetys there were two new ones .
    We went about two years ago as my Husband had never been . So sad to see what it had become . But glad it is back and recovering

    Nice little family park and a bit of a throw back, as it's nowhere near as commercial as most? Bought some, made to order, pottery from one of the independent shops there years ago. Couple of decent Ale pubs in easy walking distance too. Reminds me a little of Chessington 40 odd years ago but without the zoo?

Or Shawn could have sang Charlie Chalk on that circus ride as did you used to watch Charlie Chalk as a little girl as I did? It’s very good that the park has continued to open after the administration so no messing. Anyway, make sure you and Shawn get out there and keep on riding.😊

Nice waveswinger, gallopers looks like a modern copy of a Savages gallopers. Those mini jets look pretty old, great park, never been here before.

    I think Charlotte really likes water chutes & water rides in reality lol, I think she is putting it on lol. Especially as she says she won't go on any, but still goes on them, we see her reactions which are funny to watch sometimes & yeah think she secretly enjoys them. From what I have watched anyways, quite comical to watch when she screams onride aswell when she thinks her shirt will protect her from the water. Nope it doesn't, because it goes through, still resulting in wet hair. But all jokes aside, really good video, loved how fast your were spinning Shawn on that spinning ride, you looked like a cartoon character on a spinner ride, was quite funny & comical but weird to watch, but cool aswell. Got a good selection of coasters & attractions at this park, would love to see a new developed permanent coaster added here maybe a GCI Wooden Coaster as think that would fit into nature, landscaping of park aswell immersive theming and compacted. Would be epic addition, aswell would love to see maybe more trains running around miniature railway circuit? With steam engines? Maybe even a longer layout? But apart from this, really good vlog, really comedy gold, loved it and can't wait in future for more. About songs you come up with, maybe should consider in my opinion getting them recorded to help charity? Or for profit or both? Especially goat song? Needles, created two singles, could release an album for charity purposes or profit? But again cheers & thanks. 😀👍
