Hi

What’s better this , big sheep or Milky Way want to hit one with the kids while away

wow

I remember we went to Watermouth Castle a few years ago with Denbon after he was watching lots of videos of it and there was a video of the dungeon and the first bit with the fairytales were ok and the bit with the shops but there was a really creepy bit at the end. He waa talking to us about how excited he was to go and see Gulliver and the Gingerbread Man. We arrived and walked into the robot band room and everything looked really tiny and more dim in every room. It was almost like walking through a toy dolls house. It was loud in the robot room so we walked into the kitchen where there was a lady at the table cooking and there was nobody else in there. We were walking around talking about everything and it was all coming together from when we last went. We walked through a room with newspaper on the wall which i had seen on the video i watched. Then we were back in the great hall which was weird as i thought there was another room. I also remember from when i went the time before, there was a room with curtains that we walked through twice. Then we went in the railway room that i remember from the first time we came and i was trying to get past lots of people to have a look. We walked into the next room which i can remember and there was a man sat with his headohones on. He started to move when i walked in and there was nobody else in there as we were first in. We walked through the other rooms that i can remember walking through the first time but i could not find the room with the curtains. I thought that there was more rooms but i saw in the bext room a sign on the wall pointing down saying " Dungeons". Denbon was getting quite anxious when we saw that but he was trying to get downstairs. We walked downstairs and Denbon got excited as we could hear the music on Gulliver. We saw a door at the bottom of the stairs and Denbon started to panic about that really creepy bit at the end. We walked in and saw Gulliver but he looked way bigger than he did on the video. I asked Denbon who that was and shouted Gulliver and then was having a panic attack whilst trying to find the way out as i thought the last time we came, it was as soon as we came through the door. Then, the light went out on Gulliver and he screamed as he thought the light stayed on the whole time and i was saying how creepy it was but i pressed it again. He thought that when the light went out, you had to keep on going through and he didn't want to go through that really creepy bit at the end. We walked round the corner and saw a sign saying this way for all things spooky. He was almost in tears as we saw Hansel and Gretel and i pointed it out that the gingerbread man was over there but he was just having so much of a panic attack that he went straight out the door. He explained to me once he calmed down that he was scared of that really creepy bit at the end but when we came out the door, we saw people walking out the exit door already. We later tried to go back in again but it was all quiet in there and i saw the banner saying Hansel and Gretel in the door that was dark that the gingerbread man was in. I told him when he was freaking out again that we can just press the light on Gulliver but he ran back outside. It was the funniest thing ever.

This was my childhood. I was terrified of the singing robots 💀 If you’ve been there you might remember the little puppet show in the arcade room thung

Remember there being a water fountain show at Alton Towers

Quirky entrance

My friend,living in EXETER [SOUTH DEVON] I'd always Believed I knew Everything about North Devon, it's a place that's SPIRITUAL Place to me. I feel In-love back in late 80's & early 90's when my friends & i did Surfing. Now you've shown me this Beautiful place. It's THANKS to guys like you who show us like. Even people who live near people.

Love the vlog and model railway.
Absolutely hate the wax work figures

As myself, I have a very bad fear of Animatronics! My family wants to go but I am dead afraid. 😂

Another good and interesting park I never knew existed, yeah agree a family coaster could be a next up investment? Hopefully this is something that is added in future? Will have to wait & see if that is something they will add in & have added in since visiting? Toboggan I would say was the same length or similar length to Chatham Ski Centre?? If not, that one in Medway is a bit longer? Not really sure to be honest? But yeah a good selection of rides here, but yeah a coaster ideal for families would be ideal 100%. Cheers and look forward for more park vlogs soon & in future. 😀👍

Nice one Shawn, great video. We went yesterday after seeing it and had an amazing time. What a lovely place, so much to see. The kids can’t wait to go back and are seemingly watching your vlog on loop now 😄

The first family holiday I remember included visiting this place in 1999 when I was 4 years old and we revisited again 10 years later in 2009 when I was 14. Watching this made me quite emotional as I felt like I was there all over again. Thank you for a great video. Even though I am now 27 (going on 28) I would love to go back with my family just to experience this once last time.

Whate show❤️❤️❤️

It shuttng 😭

Hm it's kinda a shame with the condition of captain Andys rivertown revue. They were originally from America, then Thorpe Park and then of course watermouth Castle. Used to be a huuuge stage it looks from the limited footage that's around. I like how they've kept them all together but they run on such a low air pressure that they barely move. Back in the day it seemed there was a lot of life in them. And also they only run that one show and the programming may be lacking too. It's cool that at least they look good though!

“It doesn’t look very operationa-OOH”

I remember going to watermouth castle when I was younger I remember going down to the dungeon area pretty creepy and also the haunted vault as I do remember seeing like a dark alley way or tunnel where there large skeleton Monster peeking from behind the corner then slowly went back behind the corner I remember really good back then with gnome land with the troll and the gnome pulling a mole or some creature as well I remember both the fountain show as well as the snake slide really good miss the good old days.?

The memories this brings back for me is incredible. Came here all the time as a kid with my grandparents and now I live literally a 5 min walk away

Stayed there in one of the onsite cottages with my 3yo a few years ago. Has an on site swimming pool for guests too. Cheap as chips for 7 nights 3 beds. Also can use the park after hours, not the manned rides obvz

When Denbenou went here, he loved Gulliver in the dungeon so after we had finished the dungeon, he did Gulliver again. Afterwards we didnt even make it to the theme park until he decided to come back and do it again. He was so upset when the light went out. He even made an excuse in the light show that he didn't like the flashing lights just so he could go back and do Gulliver again. This continued throughout the entire day so I didnt accept it.

I have extremely fond memories of visiting watermouth castle as a child. Oddly brilliant and bizarre.

The boat ride that you rode used to be called the tv’s family favourites water ride at Crinkley bottom (the home of mr blobby). Sadly the ride closed in late 1998 and the park was sold to a hotel company. Also the ride was sold to watermouth castle.

looks nice park

my grandad used to work here

Those houses in the park are actually apartments!

Hi Shawn just to say where the house with the big garden fork there was an animatronic plant pot show! Loved the vlog keep it up😄

Have you ever been to okehampton Devon uk?

Just stumbled upon this video again. I was the girl working on the toboggan along with my boyfriend who gave you the special tour ❤😂

Hey Shawn, I used to go here all the time as a kid and it was so nice to see how it's all doing and how things have changed but how things have stayed the same, thanks for making this video, it was so nostalgic!



P.S-pretty sure I'm still scarred from the dungeons 😂

There is a park named Archeon in the Netherlands, no rides, but it has loads of shows and entertainment. All based on history like the prehistoric area, middle ages and ancient rome

So I went to Watermouth castle when I was five and the only thing I thought I could remember from it was a dark dungeon with fake bars you walk through. I guess I was right and it's still there!

Going to watermouth castle tomorrow. Can't wait!!

There’s creepy stuff there isn’t there like the little creepy dolls and that

Had my 4th visit here only yesterday brilliant place thanks for uploading this brings back memories

Been going here since I was seven it’s fascinating all the animatronics

Why did you not open de door

Beautiful place.

it reminds me of enchanted forest in oregon

The dark ride scene on the snail ride used to be based at Watermouth Castle’s (now defunct) sister park, Once Upon A Time, but instead of teddy bears, it was The Smurfs! Exactly the same set up, but they’ve just replaced the figures with teddy bears!
The smurf dark ride was on a similar train layout but as you rode on the outside section you would be greeted by characters from The Wind in the Willows!

It’s amazing to see how the boat ride jungle has grown and developed since it first opened in the early 2000s, where the plants were barely the size they are!

Love this! I live in North Devon and used to spend every single weekend here with my Gran as a boy, it’s great to see somebody experiencing it for the first time! Glad you enjoyed it, and you’ve got yourself a new subscriber! Can’t wait to see the rest of your videos!

would love to go here but it's so far away :(

i was terrified of this place as a kid. it’s not hard to see why 😂😂😳

I always take the way out of the dungeons I cant go through them as little things make me scared rlly easily
