  • Join me as I check out a variety of different attractions in Weymouth! In this vlog I start off with a ride on the Rio Grande Train around Lodmoor Country Park. Following this I check out Leisureranch, a small amusement park featuring Go Karts right next door. After this I head to Fantasy Island Fun Park located in Bowleaze Cove and ride an absolutely brilliant Ghost Train! I then make my way to the beach and check out the classic Super Snails before exploring more awesome rides and attractions along the sea front!

    Ghost train was built in 2014! Also the back of the car park along with most of the car park actually is being transformed into new hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues.. not sure when exactly though

    That Ghost Train is awesome! And also - it's the only one I've seen that goes in to the RIGHT and out from the LEFT - pretty much every other Ghost Train in the UK goes I to the LEFT and out from the RIGHT - if you know what I mean! 😅

    The tower that was owned by Merlin and used to be in Weymouth unfortunately had some serious mechanical problems and the final straw was when it got stuck at the top and everyone individually on-board had to be lifted by Coastguard Helicopter after being up there for about 4hrs it never reopened and 2 years ago was finally removed completely. Great video and thanks for showing so well, how amazing Weymouth and dorset is love the content.

    We love Weymouth and the Racing Snails. The Helta Skelta has been there for ages. The look out tower kept breaking down. They had to airlift people from the top once. You used to get on it free when you visited the sea life. Its always so busy.

    God, what an amazing ghost train - the perfect mix of tacky Halloween decorations and genuinely creepy scenes! I had no idea that was there, but I'm definitely gonna give it a go now. This video was a great advert for the park - I bet I'm not the only one planning to visit!

  • @janinewalker2105
    @janinewalker2105 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The ghost train looked great! I've got to admit though that the snails are adorable. My friends are keen to start introducing their almost three year old twins to rides and I think that rides like this are fantastic starting points for young kids.

    Hi shawn used to bring my now 20 year old daughter to Bowlaeze Cove funfair. We used to have a holiday home at Durdle door holiday park which is where you said the white cliffs were . We now own one on Rockley park holiday park in Poole . A little bit further out I prefer being near Weymouth and swanage. I went on the observation tower . About a year after that it got stuck at the top and it took 8 hours to evacuate the people by helicopter. It was removed soon after . I love Weymouth my daughter has grown up having amazing times there it's her child hood holiday place . Thankyou for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

    Been to Weymouth and Bowleaze a hundred times and never realised how much stuff there is behind the facade there, tried out the ghost Train for the first time today thanks to Sean, it's hilarious, people eating there lunch as I went through the middle bit, very funny as I cruised on by on the train, thanks again theme park worldwide for making life better, excellent ghost Train

    Great video! We used to go there on holiday a lot when I was a kid in the mid 80s. Lots of happy memories and still have some photos of little me on the cars ride at Alexandra Gardens. I remember the ferries across to the Channel Islands too. Sure we went in a hovercraft from there once.

    Great Vlog and glad you enjoyed sunny Weymouth, my home town! Managed to ride the skyline tower a few times and was nice to see the views high up, you could even see portland and Chesil beach on a clear day. It even had a climatic last day of service too, it broke down at the top and they had to get the coastguard helicopter to lift people off. The condor ferries stopped a few years ago due to the pier being damaged but they hope to bring them back soon. Hope you come and visit again soon, have a good rest of the coaster season!

    A lovely watch as usual. The sealife is a lovely park - been several times! The Adventure Golf is also really worth a go! I went on the Ghost Train last year - its incredible! And the restaurant was full - was so random! I dont think my little 6 year old felt the same! We also had a go on the snails this year - great fun ride! I dont think the Viewing Tower ever opened again after it broke down high up and there was an interestiving evacuation involving a helicopter. We have been on the Viewing Tower in the past and the views were lovely so sad that its gone.

    I was surprised that you weren’t already aware of the ghost train being like that…it’s had a fair bit of community coverage in the past, for obvious reasons. Still, it would have been a good surprise if you weren’t expecting it. Transylvania Express, which was at the steam fair, is a bit like that, too, having more content than you’d necessarily expect.

    You big kid Shawn, but you know what, why not! I have memories of riding all those kid’s rides mainly at Joyland in Great Yarmouth my home town.

    Its so odd to see my home town from your perspective. Kinda makes me realise how i take this place for granted sometimes. Also the tower was absolutely dead, even at peak times. They then did a package ticket with the local land train which would take you from sealife, along the beach to the tower, but it still never really kicked off.

Glad to see you enjoyed yourself you did look really funny on those snails 🐌 but why not enjoy these cheap attractions as you bargained a few coaster credits well done you. Looking forward to your American vlogs is Brett joining you in your amazing vlogs. Stay safe have a safe flight and journeys too

    excellent video Shawn from Weymouth checking out different attractions in Weymouth! In this vlog, I start off with a ride on the Rio Grande Train around Lodmoor Country Park. Following this, I check out Leisureranch, a small amusement park featuring Go Karts right next door. After this, I head to Fantasy Island Fun Park located in Bowleaze Cove, and ride an absolutely brilliant Ghost Train! I then make my way to the beach and check out the classic Super Snails before exploring more awesome rides and attractions along the seafront! I can't write to see the next video from some were in the UK on the channel. 😀

    Think Weymouth was my first experience on a coaster. Would have been '66 or '67 when I was about seven or eight? I thought it was a Wild Mouse but I may be wrong. I loved it and became adicted. My Dad hated it as he had to take me! Although I did get him to take me on the Roller Coaster at Battersea a few months later.
