Drop in on the New Rides at Paultons Park

Paultons Park opens this Saturday for the 2004 season with three major new attractions!

“We have two thrilling new drop rides for 2004, so you might say we are expecting our visitors to drop…literally by about 40 feet!” says Steve Lorton, Commercial Director. He continues “The Park has had considerable investment in the closed season including the creation of a stunning new penguin pool in addition to the new rides giving our visitors even more to see and do whilst offering excellent value for money whilst continuing to offer a full day of family entertainment ”.

The Jumping Bean is a vertical drop ride that plummets riders down from a height of 12 metres and then bounces them back up again! Alongside the Jumping Bean is its little brother, Jumping Jack. This is a smaller drop ride giving younger children, and less adventurous parents, a chance to experience the excitement of free falling.

Humboldt penguins are the latest addition to Paultons extensive bird collection and, as another Park first, daily feeding sessions and keeper talks will give a fascinating insight in to these humorous birds.

“ The new penguin pool looks spectacular and has a specially sloped viewing area ensuring that all visitors will have a good view of the pool” comments Steve, “We are expecting the penguins to be extremely popular with all of our visitors particularly as the keeper talks will be both entertaining and educational ”.

Paultons Park now has over 50 rides and attractions including firm favourites such as the Stinger rollercoaster and Wave Runner ‘water-coaster’ all of which are included in the entrance price.

The Park will be open daily from Saturday 13th March until Sunday 31st October 2004.
