Pleasurewood Hills will become 'Pleasurewood Chills’ over the Halloween season and offer brave guests and families great new experiences for 2014.

Join Count Woody Bear for a spooky fun filled week for the whole family including trick or treat, spooky stories with Woody and shows along with all your favourite rides and attractions. The event takes place between 25th October - 2nd November and the park will remain open every day until 4pm. Don’t forget to wear your favourite Halloween costumes.

With spooky happenings and supernatural goings-on taking place across the theme park, Frightwater Valley is the place to be seen this Halloween.

Between 31st October and 2nd November 2014 from 10am until 6.30pm each day, if you dare, watch light turn to dark as the valley becomes shrouded in a menacing cloak of supernatural delight.

Work has started to restore Britain's oldest surviving rollercoaster at the Dreamland amusement park in Margate.

Built in 1920, the Scenic Railway fell into disrepair when the attraction closed in 2005 and was then badly damaged by an arson attack in 2008. The refurbishment of the Grade II* listed ride is part of an £18m project to reopen the amusement park in 2015. The rollercoaster will be dismantled and gradually re-built over 10 months with all the wooden parts being replaced.

Oakwood in Wales will open a new area at the theme park based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow in 2015.

The new £2m multi-attraction will replace the former Wild West themed area, which was previously home to popular dark ride Brer Rabbit's Burrow, alongside the current Spooky 3D haunted house ride and Panning for Gold. The new attractions will be themed as The Headless Horseman and The Tree of the Dead but further details are still a secret.

After Dark takes place every Wednesday and Saturday in August at Oakwood Theme Park in Wales. The park is open from 10am-10pm, and from 7pm features a mix of live shows, family entertainment and amazing fireworks.

ThemeParks-UK went to After Dark at Oakwood on Saturday 9th August, here is our review and photos.
