Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach started the 2024 season in style with two new rides - including one that was kept under wraps until opening day.

The much-loved seaside attraction reopened on Saturday, March 23, with the long-awaited Polar Express finally launching after a long delay.

While this had already been announced, a second new ride made a surprise arrival last weekend.

Elsewhere at the Pleasure Beach, work is currently under way to install the new Ghost Ship, a swinging pirate ship-themed gondola that can hold up to 33 passengers.

It is located at the south end of the park, between Twister and Whirlwind, with the opening date yet to be announced. 

The peak Easter opening hours have now begun and the park will be open daily from 11am to 6pm until April 14, with a late opening on April 3 until 9pm.
