Toytown Mountain

Joyland is a historic free entry children’s fun park located on the town’s seafront. The park first opened in 1949 and has always been owned and operated by the Cole family. In the winter of 1996, the spectacular Toytown Mountain incorporating a brand new kiddie coaster called the Spook Express was constructed.

Historic Rides

Engineering entrepreneur Horace Cole designed the world-famous Snails and the now unique Tyrolean Tubs and these were built at the family engineering works at Steam Mill Lane in Great Yarmouth called H Cole and Co.

Horace was married to Daisy Wilson who came from a well-established travelling showman’s family. It was her background and influences that inspired Horace to create the children’s fun park that is Joyland.

It is a fantastic testament to Horace that both the Snails and Tubs remain in operation today and are still as popular today with young and old alike.
