Sorry, updated the FB event and forgot to come along here to do the same, details are:

The plan(slight change from before) is to meet at 11am at the entrance to Joyland (on the main parade next to Brittania Pier – if you’re coming from the bus or train station you’ll probably be walking down Regent Street which brings you out pretty much there). Once we’re all there we will kick off the day with a ride on Joyland’s legendary snail ride – plus anything else there people want to try out.
Then I think we can head onto the pier and check out the various games etc on there. Probably head to the seafront for lunch then we all have the option to either go for ‘seaside food’ like chips, doughnuts etc, or you can bring your own lunch if you prefer.
In the afternoon we can be pretty flexible depending on what people want to do(and the weather)! – crazy golf (pirate themed of course) Pleasure Beach, model village, sandcastles, arcades (I’m queen of the teddy machine!) etc
For anyone who is staying for the evening Heart Radio will be doing a road show on the Central Beach from 8pm, followed by a firework display at 10pm. Will probably have to call it a day then...

If you're coming let me know so I know who to look out for, if you're not sure you'll be there at the start pm me and I'll send you my mobile number so you can find where we are.

Hope that covers everything but let me know if not, sooo excited!!!
 
My mum loved the spook express coaster at joyland - actually, that's a lie, she screamed all the way round and totally embarassed my cousins kid!! 🙂
 
I hope you all have a great day - lets hope the weather is kind

Enjoy yourselves
 
I hope it goes well and you all have a great time 🙂 Very sorry I can't be there, but the snail ride scared me off! 😉
 
I wish i could go, can i go on the next one as i am busy working oh how boring😉
 
Hope everyone had a great time today and the weather behaved...

Have you ever been on the Big One at the Pleasure Beach, Blackpool? 😉 (A friend of mine who did classed that as a near-death experience. 😱) Or the Wild Mouse, also at Blackpool?

Just watched the video, and as I suspected from the description, the Snail Ride is a Wild Mouse type ride -- but a lot tamer than most Wild Mice (try the Blackpool one if you really want scary)...

1 - Been on both of them - love the wild mouse there!

2 - a lot tamer - and it's powered most of the way around...

Was quite a nice day, even though most people left after lunch, leaving just 3 of us, and was even more creepy when both Ames and Shelley got knackered and left at 6... So I did a round of crazy golf, went to the circus and then the bus back!

knackered myself now!
