SPOOKPORT'S main 'Happy
Halloween' event of 2015 has been at Southport Pleasureland, whose
October motto has been:- "Where people get spooked!!!" The
"Boo For You" event started on 24 October 2015 with a fantastic, free
firework display that illuminated the theme park, with an eerie glow. Lots of
the rides in the park had operators dressed in costumes, and other workers also
walked around in interesting attire... Plus pumpkins were all over the place,
most with faces painted on them... That's not forgetting the bones, graves and
other strange things in and around the Park. This is such a fantastic thing to
see, as only a few years ago, Southport had lost this attraction, for what was
thought back then as forever. The venue was originally operated from 1913 to
2006 under the ownership of the Blackpool Pleasure Beach Company, but in 2007
Norman Wallis took over. The former company left the site in a very bad way and
since then Norman has been steadily re-building the Amusement Park.
