Fairgrounds, theme parks, circuses and carnivals
Tell us about the time the fairground came to town and you were sick in a hedge; or when you went to a theme park or circus and were sick in a hedge

'Pleasure'wood Hills
Not one of the more famous theme parks but somewhere to go when you're a young family just outside Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft as Woody Bear would cheerfully say on the advert.
It didn't have (m)any big rides and think the Pirate Ship was a small dinghy they nicked from down the road. It wasn't v good or frightening in an 'extreme' sense, other than it was powered by some wheels and cogs that ran around the underside of the boat that you passed over and looked down into every time you went back and forth. At the topmost point you were sure you'd fall out into a squishy death.
The best bit was it was operated by an old dressed up pirate dude who actually did only have one arm - and so the rumour goes.....he lost it in the ships cogs!
Well it does when you're 5.
