News from UK Theme Parks

Pleasure Island, the family theme park in Cleethorpes, will be closing down at the end of the 2016 season.

The park opened in 1993 and was originally a subsidiary of Flamingo Land but the park became independent in 2010.

The UK’s original pleasure park, Dreamland Margate, once again transforms into a world of nightmares with the major scare festival, Screamland.

The multi-award winning Screamland will be back and more terrifying than ever! For the second year in a row, Dreamland will be transformed into Screamland, with fully immersive scare experiences throughout the park, as well as unlimited use of all your favourite rides.

It's never been a better time to visit Flamingo Land in Yorkshire, as the UK’s only combined theme park, zoo and holiday village introduces a swashbuckling new live show, exclusive animal encounters, improvements to the leisure complex and premium accommodation.

Flamingo Land has launched the The Pirates of Zanzibar, a spectacular performance on the Black Heart galleon stage. The live show tells tales of swashbuckling Tanzanian pirates’ adventures, and features acrobatic sword-fighting action and plenty of special effects. It takes places 3 times across the day - 11am, 1pm and 3pm.

The inverted roller coaster Tsunami at M&D's theme park in Scotland has derailed, injuring nine children and two adults.

The accident happened at round 3.40pm on Sunday 26th June with emergency services including police, fire and ambulance attending the the scene and mounting a rescue operation.

It is understood that the ride became detached from the track and fell 30ft to the ground, landing on top of a small children’s ride.

Travel back in time for a Jurassic family adventure at Paultons Park in 2016, as the Lost Kingdom arrives featuring two new roller coasters and much more.

Opening 17th May 2016, step into the Lost Kingdom, a prehistoric world where dinosaurs still roam the earth. This new land will join the other themed areas Peppa Pig World and Critter Creek as the theme park continues to develop.
