🐌 POV: We Ride Snails and Fairytales at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach 🧚♂️🎡
Today we took a break from the bigger rides and jumped on Snails and Fairytales — and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. You climb into a giant snail, it slowly bumps along the track, and you're taken on a bizarre little journey through fairytale scenes, garden paths, and some slightly questionable animatronics.
It’s one of those rides that’s been around forever, and it shows — but honestly, that’s part of the charm. One minute you’re outdoors weaving past flowerbeds, the next you’re indoors surrounded by gnomes, trolls, and characters that probably haven’t had a repaint in decades. The fact Pleasure Beach stumped up the cash to pay for the rights to use all the Disney IP's is amazing.. ;-)
There’s no speed, no thrills — just good old-fashioned weirdness. It gave us a few laughs and more than a few “what is that supposed to be?” moments. Perfect for families, kids, or anyone who appreciates the retro side of British seaside parks.
It might not be the wildest ride, but it’s definitely one we’ll remember.
