  • Join us as we head to Sundown Adventureland in Rampton, Nottinghamshire for our first ever visit! This family theme park was originally founded in 1968 and has grown to include over 20 different rides and attractions, all with fantastic theming. Sundown Adventureland is designed for under 10's and a child is needed to be able to enter the theme park, so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take my goddaughter to one of her first theme parks! In this vlog we share on ride POV's from all of the major rides, experience various different walk through attractions and much more!

    The theming of this park is immaculate. I cant imagine how amazing it would be if they had the budget of the likes of Disney and Universal. Round of applause for their creative team 👏

    Well this brought back some memories! I went there once when I was about 7 (so around 2002) and loved it so much! I don't remember going on any rides but I was a kid that would rather be on the play equipment than waiting in line for anything that wasn't a rollercoaster! And I've been bugging my parents for years about where we went that had the lollipop castle and none of us could remember where it was so you've solved a bit of a family mystery

    Went there year after year when I was a child. I remember them having a sand pit pirate theme, which we’d always sit around the side on picnic tables and eat our packed lunch. Loved the little toy town, the fire station being most memorable to me for some reason, and can’t forget the yellow brick road!

      @@ThemeParkWorldwide i think this park is one of the best children's and toddler park out there in the uk .
      next time you go check out there go to the spooky walk through , the driving school , pirate ship , crash landings , wized of oz walk through , pirate walk through and more of the wild west era .
      spooky walk through it may be small but it uses eled lighting and couler full set .
      driving school themed to monkeys i think it opened in 2027.
      pirate ship is one of the tallest set pies at the park and has animatronics and forstperspective .
      wized oz walk through with the characters and the yellow brick road and the castle .
      pirate walk through a modern walk through what is funny interactives animatronic .
      wild west area check out the shouting gallery .
      your question is the spooky theming in there all year in the wild west spooky walk through ? yes it is it is spooky all year round .
      fact the ostrich ride open in 2018 .

  • @inkysquid4
    @inkysquid4 Před 2 lety

    I remember going there twice as a kid. Once on a school trip, and once with a mate before he went back to his home country. So many memories. I remember being 6 and 7 and really enjoying it. They were great days, loved the pirate ride. On the school trip my mates dad was our group leader and he always took the water cannons for us. In one of the village areas it had been turned into an outdoor park with slides and tasks and obstacle courses. So much fun.
    When I went there with my friend the second time, we bought some nerf guns and bullets in the wild west are to join a massive 'gun' fight with literally 40 odd kids. That was mental. Only 7 of us 'survived' as the park had to break it up to prevent it from getting even bigger lmao.
    It really is a great themed park and everything is well considered towards the younger audience, especially when you consider that they have nowhere near the budget as Drayton manor etc. The angry birds land is a great addition to target a more 'modern' child audience aswell as the wizard of Oz and the fantasy part. The indoor play area though was one of the best parts though.
    When I was also there with my mate, in the big lollipop castle, the park allowed kids to have a nerf fight for a bit as there wasn't many people up there as it was the time the cafes were serving food.
    I'm well into my teens now and the park looks more or less the same, add a couple of rides like the safari and driving school, but they were really enjoyable as a youngster, especially the christmas rides and pirate ride. Been trying to remember this place for ages to recommend it to my neighbours who have been looking for such a place, so lucky this went into my reccomended.

    I just wanted to add a 2024 update to this video as we actually stayed at the park last week.
    The new wild acre village holiday homes are as gorgeous as the park and very reasonably priced.
    The park itself was wonderful and our kids had four lovely days (with a day out for an Alton Towers visit) exploring and never got bored, between the park itself and the soft play sites dotted around that are equally as well themed. I can't recommend this place enough. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and did their utmost to make each day enjoyable.
    While still very lovely the park does seem to be suffering from some wear and tear but this was only noticed by more seasoned, jaded eyes. The kids were still in awe of everything.
    I've already said it but can't recommend this enough and we will definitely be returning!

    It's probably a coincidence that the main entrance area feels a lot like your new Planet Coaster Park. However, since Frontier is a British video game developer, it's plausible they have people who have been here and that's why they added the sleigh ride dark ride to the game.

    Omg I remember always wanting to go, it’s actually changed a bit!! I miss a lot actually!! Childhood memories unlocked! Thanks so much for this!
    Lol I remember getting really wet, and it spinning round and then me dreading it, like no no turn the other way, turn the other way!! 😂
    If you were wondering the Snow White building, had e seven dwarfs chairs, and you pull them back and they make sound effects for the different dwarfs! And there is lumpy jam, and toast! Also a scene with Snow White, like the other fairy tales houses! Plus I have many pictures of me at sundown, lol! 😂
