Ocean Beach operator Michael Sheeran said: “Easter is starting early this year and we are getting ready to welcome families over the holidays, to enjoy their days out with us.

“Visiting the park is a long-standing tradition at Easter, and Good Friday is still one of the best days for atmosphere.

“We are very keen to promote a family day out so our customers can relax and have fun.

“This year we have six fantastic rides new to the Park, some just for the Easter holidays and some as a permanent fixture.
