Thrill-seekers looking for stomach-churning entertainment are in for a treat.
A new ride is coming to Great Yarmouth’s seafront Pleasure Beach providing a big-hitter attraction aimed at broadening its appeal.
The Air Maxx 360 is adding to the traditional fairground attractions including the more sedate carousel and bumper cars.
Fresh from a winter spell in London’s Hyde Park the ride replaces the go karts towards the back of the park beyond the famous wooden roller coaster.
Pleasure Beach boss Albert Jones said the new ride would be included in the wrist-band entry.

He said it represented a “substantial investment”.
