- Join us as we head to Southend-on-Sea for a visit to Adventure Island! This family amusement park opened in 1976 and has since grown to be the home of over 30 different rides and attractions.
In this vlog we visit the park during the glorious sunshine and share on ride footage from all of the major attractions including the 4 main roller coasters and 2 dark rides. Along with riding all of our favourites such as Rage and Time Machine, we also stay until the evening for numerous different night rides. We also check out the updated fun house, share a range of off ride footage and much more in our action packed vlog from Adventure Island!

New subscriber!!!
Thank you for watching, welcome to TPW!
I grew up in Southend for nearly 19 years. I love watching your blogs of adventure island. Its a lovely reminder of how I spent my teen years.😊
Thanks for watching!
I love this park, it’s my local park and I have so many memories attached but I agree, they let me down with over the hill 2
I was disappointed with the refurbishment of it
I've never been but I'm going with my friends
Shawn, watching your Vlogs is great therapy for helping with my depression. They are so relaxing and upbeat and you always seem to have a great time.
Thank you for your kind words
I’m going Southend with my friends on Friday
Loved this vlog! I was the girl you met in Wimpy - thank you so much for coming to say hello! It was so lovely to meet you, and so awesome you came to my local park!
Great to meet you, no problem at all!
Wow! That looks amazing. I hope you had fun, I may go soon!
Thanks for watching, we had a great day
I went there yesterday for my birthday rage ended up getting stuck at the top of the lift hill (with no one on) half the line walked away leaving me and a few people there! Love this park! ❤️
Love that you can film on rides really good to see what they are like . Great vlog you and Alex are great and the girls always make me smile ☺☺xxx
It's great when the parks allow us to film on ride!
At least it was a glorious day. So many things to see and do. Great vlog. Great POV's to.
Thanks for watching
I cried when I came off over the hill 2. They ruined my childhood fear. I used to come off petrified from the ending. But now...
It's terrible
Same here I was so small when over the hill was good and I was sobbing when I came(mainly because of the big dog)and now I’m coming off crying of laughters they’ve messed it up.
Couldn't agree more. As much as Adventure Island is a 'Family Park' the refurbishment and 're-branding' of 'Over the Hill' has not in the slightest given the Park a more family feel, a massive part of our childhood has unfortunately been 'stolen', hopefully one day 'Over the Hill' will return as we know and love it.
Before OTH it was beelzee bob's ghost train which was my childhoods ride. I felt the same when OTH took its place.
@@kabband Beelze Bob's looked really good from what i've seen. Southend used to look so different from what it does now. I mean Rage was a log flume lmao
I would love to see Adventure Island actually start making rides to sell to other places. They’ve got amazing knowledge and great rides so it’ll be amazing
They have indeed. I guess they like to keep them unique to them!
Thorpe Park used to have a Tri Star like Scorpion without the awesome theme
Slothy Vlogs but now its gone in adventure island 😢
My ex favourite ride
hamerwhu 123 IT IS OH MY GOD I DIDN’T KNOW,IM GOING TODAY ASWELL AND I WAS LOOKING FORWARD FOR IT!!
My childhood park - live in Essex myself and have visited this park over 30 times. Know it inside out! Unfortunately haven't visited in around 2 years but still hopefully will go back and do a good ol vlog!
I currently live in Hertfordshire but wish I could be at Southend On Sea during this lockdown. Hope your all keeping safe. Great to see you all had an amazing time there at Southend. It’s an amazing authentic unique adventurous place isn’t it especially got that holiday vibe feeling to it. Thank you so much Sean all of your friends for these epic awesome ride videos during lockdown keeps me entertained.
Great video as always Shawn, keep up the good work
Best long vlog this year nice to see you took the gals and they enjoyed all the new rides
Thank you, we had a fun day!
i LOVE this theme park so much! I especially love Rage, I went on it 9 times with my friend! Amazing vlog, keep it up! :D
Actually met you and Charlotte at folly farm .your a great couple thank you for taking the time to speak to me and making my daughter s day .
It was great to meet you!
Thanks again for another great vlog Shawn, I went to adventure island a few times as a kid and rage seemed like my worst nightmare but now I'm very keen to get there at some point and try some great flats
I’d love to go here, went past it before and looks amazing. This vlog I already know will show how amazing it is!
It's well worth a visit, one of the most friendly parks in the UK
I go there every time when I visit my cousins in Essex. Such a good park, and a amazing vlog!
Brilliant vlog Shawn especially with Charlotte, Alex and Crista, really entertaining and helpful, I shall be off to Adventure island soon now! 😃😃😃😃
Cheers Roy, have fun!
Another great Theme Park Worldwide Vlog Shawn Sanbrooke keep it up mate 😉👍
Every video I watch you on it I just love them!!! Keep up the good work ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
fireball seems to be a tame version of snowstorm (with cages) where you get a lever to allow you to flip your carriage upside down. Still cool though. Great Vlog!!
I like these videos because you can take the camera on all the rides👍🏻
Thank you, we always do when the parks allow it!
Omg I'm so excited to go with my friends in all the way in london
I’m adding this to my 2019 park visits :) Great vlog chaps
You'll love it Mark!
I love ur vids they always make me smile i love that park
Great vlog again gang great to see all these different parks
Love adventure island
A great family park with a good atmosphere, great family rides and good thrill rides!
Brilliant vid guys I have been there 4 times done rage 2 times anyway hope you had a great time
looks brill if it wasent so far from where a stay would defo take the family
Great video. Going in June, looks amazing.
I love this park as I always use to come here for an adventurous day out with my family since I was a kid.
I haven’t been to Southend since 2017 as we’ve been busy going on our epic world family travel vacations. I totally love Southend as I’m a privileged typical unique Essex girl as I was born at NHS The Princess Alexander Hospital 1983 in Harlow.
Ohhh you are not American
What an immersive vlog! I prefer the old version of the over the hill
The old version was much better and was fun for everyone, now it's aimed at just for the little ones
Amazing vlog, really enjoyed. Good park with really enthusiastic & nice staff. Went on Spooks Ville, did a POV on it and found it boring even though it was and it is for kids & families. Never rode Time Machine as saw look of it and said nope, not for me. Maybe one day, same with Screature. At least at the moment. Rage looks amazing, but got to get over three things first before riding that which is heights, going vertical and upside down? Thinking might experience Chessington's Jumanji Coaster first to get over all three? But well see lol. Got a good selection of rides, attractions and coasters, still would like to see a new coaster go here & think this is what 2022 new addition is going to be? Thinking maybe a Wild Mouse type coaster like Pinball X or Crazy Mouse type? As the space they have is right space especially since race track has been removed. Think its ridiculous how there is a £5.00 upcharge for Dodgems & think that should be involved in price a.k.a wristbands. Also, regarding expansion? Was thinking maybe extending somehow in sea? But would take a lot of planning permission aswell most importantly money & budget. Would be good to see expansion happen in future? To both indoor section aswell outside park? Maybe even build more flat rides inside doors, build rides & coasters on roof? But again? Will have to wait & see what happens? Got an Annual Pass, so will be at some point going back to this park, to experience once again, film some more content a.k.a POV's & Offride footage. So that will be good. Good live earlier, hope yourself and Charlotte are doing well, are you doing a meet up event type of thing with Andy a.k.a Coaster Crazy while out there? Seen his videos so far, but just wondering if this is in the plans? But anyways, congratulations to you both for the new house, studio, said something in live chat about with museum via your own land? Is there any plans to maybe open your own theme park one day? With your own rollercoasters? Attractions & more? Because if not? Could be a good consideration as think it would be epic lol. Especially with what creations you have come up with on Planet Coaster series, could be a good opportunity for yourself, other TH-camrs aswell friends of the channel to run, visit and create your own creations in? But anyways, cheers for video & look forward to seeing more videos soon. (Sorry for long paragraph). 😀👍
I love the on ride camera 👍!!!
We always film on ride at the parks that allow us to do so!
Just watching your adventure island vlog Shawn, i would love to go sometime this year
Great vlog as always only been once this year hope to go in September some time.It’s great to see everyone having fun as I have so much love for this park.
It's a great park and it certainly didn't disappoint on this trip!
I went there before with my cousin
I have given up on the Merlin parks. This park looks brilliant, definitely going soon. Thanks for the review, as always very good.
These parks are well worth visiting!
i have found a funny hidden gem at the hocus pocus hall in chessington. at the beginning before you go through the spin tunnel, there are lots of books painted on the wall and one of them actually says viagra on it and it's not graffiti from kids, it's the same painted lettering as the rest of the books. it's not my mind either, i have seen it 3 times at the same spot. i will do a video but there is an announcement before the pre-show saying no flash photography
Chessington is awsome. My fav ride is Rameses revenge
I have realised that on the spinning tunnel, there's tiny little words on the side of it
Ikr I went here last week and my sister loved it
I love it
Over the Hill may seem small but that brown building behind rage is the warehouse that contains it. The building with the pink roof is just the station 👍
It is indeed, looks great!
Honestly, Time machine is amazing, my favrioute ride there, g-force is crazy high but isn't that just thrilling!
Great vlog mate. My local park. Been going there since I was a kid. I'm now 44 :) and some of the attractions are still there. I was going in the crooked house when I was knee high to a grasshopper :) it was very dark in there too. Oh and the pier is the longest pleasure pier in the world.
Thanks for sharing your memories from the park!
Adventureville is adorable! Already looking into booking a visit just to ride it! 💙
Is the coaster at 11:30 the same one as Blackgang Chine's Cliffhanger? Same layout and station.
It really is gorgeous!
I’ve never been to Adventure Island, but I’d really like to go! One of my friends at school went there, and she went on Rage!
Hello Shawn I'm going there today.its going to be my first time on rage with my friend.(we are little kids)we are fans too,our fav ride is scorpion
I think I heard that scorpion was taken away,I'm not sure.great vlog:-)
This is also my local park,well I don't live in Southend but it is quite near to me
Have a fantastic time
Omg thank you I did love your vlogs:-) 😃
One interesting thing about over the hill is that the show building actually extends right next to rage, the upstairs compartment of the ride is located above the fish and chips shop, or under title wave, but it's a shame because they took that refresh from the wrong direction
Went to PortAventura world for the first time today❤️ shambhala was amazing☺️ thanks to your vlogs over the last few years, me and my family came on holiday to Salou. Always a bonus when you can see red force and shambhala from your hotel room🙌🏻
We're glad that you have had a great time!
I went for the first time this year too. My first ride on red force I got the front row and I had no I Idea I would have to wear goggles
Millie was Ferrari land very busy? I’m going in a few days for the first time
Zoe at the start of the day yes I waited 2hr30 min for red force. So I would probs go into portaventura when u arrive at the park ride shambhala and some other rides that get big ques when they are quite, then then go into farri land a few hours before closing time and there is like no ques. In two hours I rode red force 4 times all the kids rides and the thrill towers 8 times! We even had time to go to the shop and spent like half an hour in it
Millie thank you!
Looks like a nice park really colourful great staff some unique exclusive rides and it looks fantastic at night ☺
Hi theme park worldwide I used to live Southend but moved to Leigh on sea
Going there this Friday with my school can't wait
i love my my mum have fun
I never visited it, but I just love these kind of seaside parks!
Love this park! Go a lot when I’m in London. You should go in the pier too.
It’s amazing.
I've done the pier before and very much enjoyed it
Theme Park Worldwide I’ve never been myself,What is it like?anything like a cafe at a he end?
Hi I'm a big fan and rn I'm cometing in 2020band they added axwis it's sooo fun
Me and my boyfriend likes your video.
With my friends
Man I hope to catch a glimpse of you this year if you come since I work there..think I managed to miss you last year lol. Also I think you will really enjoy Axis!
Me and my friend are coming on the 29th August wish we could meet you this vlog is great !!
i’ve been there three times! it’s amazing
I was there on the 4th of august with my friends, had a great day. It's my local theme park!
Such a great park my home theme park hope you enjoyed it
It was great thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
The party is a nice touch.
love the vlog keep them comeing
Thanks for watching Glenn!
“are you ready to be whipped” cheeky Shaun!
I greyed out on Time machine I've only been on it once tho
It sure is crazy, but we love it!
The only time I went on time machine, I threw up. I feel sorry for the staff member who had to deal with me
it’s really pretty at night with the lights
18:15
*best looking gerstlauer*
ok
no smiler
no saw
think he meant the colour schemes of rage, because it really does stand out
It looks better than Saw imo, the colour scheme is very unique, bright and fits in well with the park. However, in terms of how the ride looks, i'd say Smiler looks more impressive. Edit: After visiting Alton Towers, Smiler looks much more impressive in my opinion.
I think he meant the best euro fighter in the uk
i definitely agree on smiler looking so much better, the way that thing goes around the track is beautiful
Threw up on time machine the ride is a killer more intense than I ever imagined 😩😩🤣
Never been here ? Hope it is good
Glen Nsylor it is amazing Glen, I am going next week.
Well worth the visit, it's such a friendly park
Its is always feels good to at Adventure Island....awesome rides and beach experience. We come as family and stay in a lovely guest house close to Adventure Island and beach .....the name is Devine Beach Guest House
Have a great time
Going tomorrow really excited
Over the hill is version 2, before it was Beelzee bob's trail, you might find a pov on TH-cam. Great park, I worked in maintenance for a short while.
Thanks for sharing this!
Theme Park Worldwide I used to check over the hill in the mornings, it was a bit eerie with no sound and lighting effects. Occasionally jumped out on the odd friend on the fake platform too.
Awesome vlog, smashing place! Thanks for the upload! If you plan a trip to North America again, a place worth checking out is “Canada’s Wonderland”. It’s in Vaughan, Ontario, and it’s owned by Cedar fair too. They’ve got some fantastic rollercoaster, and a huge and unique flat ride selection, like sledgehammer, the worlds only HUSS giant jumper. It’s definitely a park worth visiting at some point, and I think you’d enjoy their rides. Definitely a must visit park for any enthusiast!
Thanks for the suggestion, it does look fantastic and I hope to visit one day!
Theme Park Worldwide It absolutely is! I went about a week and a half ago when we went to see relatives, super place! It’s a little expensive though, definitely worth bringing your own food as it’s expensive, and we didn’t get told off for bring ours. They are getting a new coaster for 2019 which is being announced on the 15th of August (2 nights away) which is speculated to be a b&m giga dive machine, but we’re not sure. You’ll have to tell us on TPW weekly 😂. Honestly looks like you had good fun, I’ll have to go and try. I never thought I’d see a Gerschtlauer Eurofighter which isn’t too painful, saw at Thorpe was a killer 😖
Great blog Sean !!!
Grwat vid as always shaun👍🏻👍🏻
Doorways :) awesome video
I really want to go to a theme park with u and I love vids and I live in southend

Thanks!
I agree 😌😌
Right on man thanks man
I love intense flat rides so time machine is well up my street! I'm looking forward to this weekend though! 7 new coasters which means I will hit a 55 coaster count after this weekend
Can't help thinking there's more subtext to Charlotte's "New mat for my front porch" comment lol.
I haven’t been there for five years and I’m going this Thursday
When I went all the way back in 2014 the crooked house was way different but I can't explain how cause it was so long ago
I live right between this and thorpe park. It is great!
Great video. I am Hungary on holiday hopefully I’ll find an amusement park
Have a great holiday!
Theme Park Worldwide thank you
