One theme park enthusiast was left disappointed following a visit to Southport Pleasureland.
Matt, writing for the Facebook page Theme Park Insanity, said when he arrived three hours after they opened at 1pm, a number of the rides were shut to visitors. Matt claims it was the reopening day after the winter break, with him even feeling "sorry" for staff who weren't able to do much.
A theme park spokesperson explained Pleasureland was quieter than normal because it wasn't the "official opening". The opening wasn't promoted as "part of the park is under development with three rides out of commission in that area".
