Children are now out for an even scarier ride on the new improved ghost train attraction at Bogsea pleasure beach. Phase one of the major alteration plan is now complete.
"We've had a massive refit costing hundreds of pounds," said White Knuckle Ride Controller, Sidney Bartlett. "We've now got more illuminous hanging skeletons installed on our ride than in the rest of our neighbouring resorts put together."
Phase two of the operation - due to begin shortly - will see the ride upgraded once again. The pleasure beach plans to have the ride's screeching and wailing noises completely re-synthesised for maximum bloodcurdling effect.
"It won't be for the faint-hearted," said Mr Bartlett.

The old effects were a bit shit...wait..the new refurbishments really add to the ride's appeal.
