I was really looking forward to taking my young kids to the pleasure beach for the first time. When it came to purchasing tickets I could not believe the rip off pricing. My wife wouldn’t be going on rides but would have to pay full price. My kids are 4 and 2 so there are only limited rides they can go on and with taking young kids, I would not be able to go on the big rides anyway. The day would have cost us around 150 for the day. How do they expect families to afford this and how do they think it’s good value, especially consider some of the huge queues. They’re also using covid as an excuse not to sell the non riders ticket and it’s just wrong. The entry price is fine for adults and older kids but with the new scanning system on the rides, they’re really missing a trick. They could offer family tickets which only allow you on certain category rides, like Fantasy Island offer. They could also allow non riders back in for a reasonable price. I don’t understand why they haven’t done this since the Thompson’s have been great owners in the past. Pricing out young families will only damage the future of the Pleasure Beach. I’ve fed back my feelings but unfortunately haven’t received any response.
