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!

Danny's Review

Pleasurewood Hills really need to get this ride sorted. Only one train; what a joke. Every time I visit Pleasurewood Hills I try my best to be positive but find myself getting annoyed at the shortage of staff and poor maintenance of rides. What happened to the times where Pleasurewood was amazing! Maybe I'm just getting older. I went in peak season and found low staff meant chairlift, and waterslide where working at half capacity and shortage of logs and trains on the log flume and Enigma meant well over an hour and a half queue for each. The kids were so down with all the queueing we left early only getting to go on a few rides. Great site by the way. Really nice to remember the park in its prime.

Well what can I say... Last time I went to Pleasurewood Hills it was pouring it down with rain and this had just been renamed Enigma. I must say preferred Cannonball Express and it's theme, but I can't really say a rollercoaster has ever stuck in my mind as much as this one! I just hate to think of what would happen if they lose the last train... =/ Surely they must find some way of getting another train... :(

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!

I love this ride, why is it so low, its fast fun and compact, perfect ride! low capacity though.

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.

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?

Anonymous Review

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?

Julian Deans's Review

Enigma is a great coaster, hate to see it leave, but i was a lot better as Cannonball Express!
