Another great video.
Happiland was where Ocean Plaza is now.
Norman Wallis, the current leaseholder at New Pleasureland had a plan to spend £20Million. on a plot of land at the other side of the pier but there are no details. It is certainly much smaller than the Pleasureland site.
As most people are aware, New Pleasureland will open again in 2009 from Easter. The new development plan by Urban Splash has been delayed, possibly because of their current financial situation, so NPL's lease has been extended for another year.
Here are the opening dates from the NPL forum:
