Joyland is a historic free entry amusement park located in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, on the coast of East Anglia. The theme park opened in 1949 on the site of the former Anchor Gardens next to Britannia Pier.
The park is famous locally and across the country for the Snails and Tyrolean Tubs rides designed and manufactured by engineering entrepreneur Horace Cole and the family-owned engineering business. The Tyrolean Tubs is notable as the only Virginia Reel roller coaster (albeit in miniature form) in operation in the world.
Joyland is renowned for its heritage rides, which have remained unchanged through generations of patrons, allowing parents to share the rides remembered from their childhood with their children.
The biggest change to the park occurred in 1984 when the main centerpiece of the park (a 1950s Noah's Ark ride) was removed and replaced with a space shuttle attraction called the "Space Base" and then again in 1996 when the centrepiece was demolished and replaced by a spooky themed roller coaster twisting around the peak of the mountain while various fiberglass toy figurines adorn the side of the large green mountain.
Joyland is the debut novel of Canadian author Emily Schultz published by ECW Press in 2005. In 2013 due to the publication of Stephen King's novel of the same name the ebook version of Schultz's novel received a bump in publication sales due to readers mistaking her work for King's which was not yet available for purchase as an ebook.
As a response Schultz created the humour blog Spending the Stephen King Money, detailing the purchases she made from the bump in royalties along with a blurb as to whether or not she believed King would approve of her purchases. In June 2014, King responded to her blog saying that he was happy for Schultz and was going to purchase her book.
