pleasurewood hills theme park rides

Enigma made its debut at Pleasurewood Hills in 1995, the ride was originally called "The Cannonball Express" and featured  a mine train theme. In 2005, the attraction evolved into "Enigma" and was given a bright new paint job. To complete the new theme, the mine train boulders, carts and signage were removed from the attraction and question marks were added to the train. The ride was previously located at Rotunda Amusement Park in Folkestone. Queue times for this attraction are often incredibly long due to the fact that the ride now only operates with one train running. This allows just 8 people to ride at a time. However, if you do eventually make it onto the ride, don't forget to take heed of the warnings... brace yourself at the end.  Ouch!

"It was far better when it had the runaway mine train feel to it. It could also benefit from going round twice... You queue for 35 mins at times only to be on the ride for 1 min 15 secs!"

"A good coaster, my son thoroughly enjoys this ride!...the only downside is the queue time can be very long in peak season. Whatever happened to the second train?"

Wes' Review

"Enigma is a good ride overall and the only Jumbo V but only having one train is not efficient enough even for a park of PWH's size. They had 3 trains originally and then 2 after the third was used to replace parts but what happened to the other train?"

Josh's Review

"Enigma is not a bad coaster but the queue times were ridiculous even though it was fairly short.  The theming is also pretty dire."
