Professional Pre-Production: Final Location Choice

Location choice is very important for this show. It is set in a fictional and failing amusement park, which meant I had to find an amusement park that was open, full of rides, but doesn't look too good to be a failing one. This ruled out most of my original choices, but did leave me with one good choice left.

FINAL LOCATION CHOICE: PLEASURE BEACH, SKEGNESS

Botton's Pleasure Beach is a family amusement park in Skegness. It is home to 24 rides, 4 of which are roller coasters.

I beleive Pleasure Beach is a perfect location choice for Pleasure Park because:

- It's right next to the beach
- It's situated in a town that could work as a failing seaside town.
- Has a good number of rides, which is good for background in scenes.
- It looks a lot like how I imagine Pleasure Park would look if it were a real amusement park.
- Compared to all of my other choices, this one works the best for the show.

By using a real location, it will most likely work out a lot cheaper than building a fake amusement park for filming purposes. Most scenes in the show will take place in the park.

If the show were real, it would've filmed during the springtime of 2017 when Pleasure Beach is closed to the public. According to their website, the park is open from May-September, so the show would be filmed outside of those times to avoid disruption. This would also then leave enough time for the show to be put together in time for it's January 2018 launch.
