> New Ownership & Expansion Plans: Pleasurewood Hills was acquired by Premier Attractions Ltd (the Stokes family) in October 2024. The new owners have submitted a planning application for four new rides: a Star Flyer (30m), a Spinning Coaster, an Apple Coaster, and a Big Wheel (36m). A planning decision is expected in April 2026. If approved, these rides would significantly expand the park's thrill offering.
Pleasurewood Hills is East Anglia's largest theme park with American theming and a great mix of family and thrill rides. Located near Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth, it's perfect for a seaside holiday combined with theme park thrills.
