This from Joyland Books:

Great Yarmouth's Pleasure Beach is celebrating its 100 year anniversary and as part of the centenary celebrations the park is opening the Roller Coaster (a 1932 scenic railway) to the public for behind the scenes tours. Albert Jones, the Managing Director of the Pleasure Beach, will conduct the tours on 13 September, which will also include the Gallopers and a look a the centenary celebration photographic exhibition which includes some fantastic images of the town in the past. The Roller Coaster tours are one of the Heritage Open Days organised by English Heritage, which celebrates England’s architecture and culture by allowing visitors free access to interesting properties that are either not usually open, or would normally charge an entrance fee.

Gary, I could kiss you for posting that! (But don't worry, I won't!)

I rang the pleasure beach and they told me to ring the council for more info. I did and I am booked on the 3pm tour! There is also a tour at 11am but it was almost booked up. I was not advised of any cost, although there is an option of a ride on the coaster as well!!

The number to book a place is 01493 846346.

Gary, thanks again. You have made my year, my man. Are you going?

Chris.
