Рет қаралды 39,685
Күн бұрынJoin us as we head to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk England UK and visit Joyland for the very first time
Joyland is a historical free entry children’s amusement park that opened in 1949 by Horace Cole and is home to many classic rides such as the famous Snails, Neptune’s Fortune, Jet Cars and the Tyrolean Tub Twist the world’s last remaining Virginia Reel roller coaster
All the rides are £1 meaning great value for the whole family to enjoy the rides and it is definitely worth a visit if you like your heritage parks
Vlog and on ride povs are all filmed in HD 1080p 60fps using a GoPro Hero 6 with official accessories

Today was my mums funeral when I was a child she used to take me here I'm watching this with tears in my eyes you have brought so many memories back to me . She used to go in joyland herself as a child. Thanks for the memories. Great vlog Andy & Lisa xxx

My family lived in Norfolk a couple of generations back, and even though they've lived in Wales since, it's always been tradition that we go back every year. I was brought up going on these rides and I adored them. I have a baby niece now and I can't wait for her to enjoy it all too! Brilliant video, brought back a lot of memories, thank you 😄

Love your vlog. Brings back happy childhood memories for me and my sister in the 1960's 1970's. The spooky express used to be a Noahs ark with a parrot in it . A smaller version of the old one at Blackpool Pleasure beach (which is no longer in use!) The reel in Blackpool was a great ride you got thrown about as it spun fast.

we were there last friday and i gotta say at age 38 i wasnt expecting to enjoy myself so much, but its a wicked little park, spook express was smooth and faster than i thought, the snail ride was fun, shame i didnt do the tub twist though, next time i will. glad you and lisa enjoyed it too

I remember coming here when i was like 5 to 8 years old before we was old enough and grown enough to goto pleasure beach, great place for the young ones, but the rides in there haven't really changed in the last 30 years maybe more, as i remember all of those from when i used to go =) but still yarmouths a nice place for all ages =)
@Fairgroundking1 6 жыл бұрын
the original Virginia Reel was a wooden coaster but they need alot of maintenance due to perished wood ect so modernising them with metal which is more of a durable material these are also “Side friction” hence the tyres run along the inside of the track and spins the cars its all mainly gravity that moves the cars down the slopes
@ralpha112233 3 жыл бұрын
The Tubs are a wood, steel and concrete construction. The top of the slope is a wooden/steel frame. The tubs run on roughly 2inch (100mm) thick wooden boards with steel plate screwed on top. On the last part of the downhill it changes to concrete, with the steel bolted in. The tubs themselves are driven by a single ĺ 2hp DC electric motor chain driving a solid axle. One side of the track will be positive, the other negative. A similar system is used on the Snails and Seahorses.

This is my childhood. I have many memories of this park and it's pretty much the same as it was about 35 years ago. The only differences are that there used to be a rocking space ship where the coaster is now and before that a Noah's Ark if I remember correctly (And there used to be a window you could see down in to the Neptune ride). The tubs also had more greenery and lights hanging above the track. Such a great park and one I continue to go to even though my kids are getting a bit old for it, they still love it. Great video.
@niftythriftyfrugal6789 6 жыл бұрын
Adam Hickman I remember the spaceship and the Noah's Ark rings a bell! Can't remember the window down into Neptune's kingdom though! Sure it was something else before Neptune's but can't remember what the theme was!

My childhood and home park with the pleasure beach. I love the tubs! Been going on them since I was a child. Great vlog made me miss home. Before the coaster was there it used to be a Noahs arc walk through like blackpools. Then it was a spaceship before they replaced it with the coaster.

Gavin Wolves yeah I read up on some information about the park in the net and it’s very interesting, I think the park looks great as it is and you would think it had always been like that with the green mountain ! Apparently the Snails is a coaster but it’s not in the RCDB as one so don’t know if it’s a credit or not !?!?
