Lots of people always go on about wanting to go to the greats of Florida for Disney and Universal. More people are able to visit DLP but there's a little place in this country that makes you feel like you're at Disney or Universal. Thing is, I couldn't quite work out which company clearly secretly owns this park. Of course, it is the one and only Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach. So let me show you why I'm not sure if it's Disney or Universal.
From the outskirts it doesn't look great. But hey, Universal don't theme their rides all the way around when they don't have too. And this path was cold along the beach so you wouldn't want to go there anyway. Think of it as a cast members rat run!
Oh yes, Splash Metal Mountain! 3 lift hills, 3 drops in a metal mountain frame!
Heck, that could even become the Universal globe on top of the structure.
Cattlepen to deal with the huge crowds!
And timed maintenance on off peak days so it can have full throughput for those busy summer days.
Argh!!!! Watch out for Jaws in Amity!
Right next to the land of Frozen! Hi there Olaf 
Oh my favourite the vehicles from automobile and automobile 2! It's the finale of the the FORMULE 1 between Thunder McKing and Chuck Hicks!
Nice to see Universal using the old school Simpson characters again! You could learn a thing or two Orlando.
There was a fun house! Probably Minion related.
It's just like an inside version of Wishes or Dreams!
Disney needs to use the Mulan IP more, glad to see it being used here.
Truly a high quality ride by Disney
Surprise!
Ah Phantom Manor
Frankenstein's Monster from Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue!
Wacky Disney kids coaster. It's like Heimlich... or maybe it is!
What's this down here 
Twister! Will be a sad day when it leaves Orlando but here at Great Yarmouth it keeps going strong 
As well as other Universal THRILL rides.
Monorail to get you from one place back to that place
With a Dr Seuss like tunnel.
Lunch approached so we decided to take a walk from one park to find another
It had a rollercoaster called Spook Express. Was in a mountain, had dark bits, basically space spook mountain!
So nicely themed!
And more minions!
On ride photos taken by someone with a camera. True quality!
Look at the little snail they had!
Snails love airtime! I've no idea what Disney feed them but they love it!
Clearly waiting the Puss In Boots layover for the Goose in the beanstalk.
So Farm Cruise
Watch out for the Pirates of the Yarmouth!
Zoo Cruise.
Pinocchio dark ride section with It's A Small world playing. So urm It's a small boy?
Peter Pans not flying flight
Evolution.
Like the film as you can see.
They also had a roller coaster with a flame spitting tower thing at the top (flame wasn't working)
Prehistoric Twirl.
So whilst you all scratch your heads wondering if Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach is Disney or Universal I'll leave you with some pictures of Roller Coaster
Snail Always.
