    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion

    Just out of interest... Is this allowed over the last weekend (Sat & Sun) or just the last day (Sun)?

    Forum Downtime This Friday 7PM and Some Team News

    Yeah, I expected it to look different to promotional default theming and rebranded with TowerStreet styling, layout etc. My wording wasn't the best in that post. I am concerned thou, your breaking the golden rule.. :p

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    From what I've read. Everything apart from lift hill and station out, then built back up.

    I'm guessing this is the new version from XenForo, if so looks nice going by the promotion material.

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    https://coasterpedia.net/wiki/Incredible_Hulk_Coaster That included a 2 months of theming work. The actual ride was completed in late March (ready for testing) and include more work (new trains, mid course brake run) then Nemesis is getting. The park is open all year round so has to take general...

    2022: General Discussion

    That's what I'm reading into it as well, but more a likely a live performer which backing track that actual band. Thinking back to last year, they did have 3 performers who sing with backing track during the stage shows last year so mght be more along those lines. Whats concerns me is that...

    2022: General Discussion

    I do hope they limit the stage shows during weekdays/quiet days at Alton Towers, purely for the sanity of the entertainers. Felt so sorry for them on a Friday during Oktoberfest with only 1 table of people to interact with. Keep the roaming entertainers, but limit the main stage shows. I do...

    2022 Meet Up Calendar

    I would be too. Didn't mention this before, but if off topic too much, please delete. Had a chat with customer services back in Jan. Rest of the booking system (only park entry available at moment, rest just crashes) comes fully online towards the end of Feb. (she did mention to start checking...

    2022 Meet Up Calendar

    Are any other dates available and just the 19th greyed out? With an Alton Towers Annual Pass, I did manage to book the Saturday 2 weeks ago (sorry, I'll be on my best behavior, promise).

    First SW to be Removed?

    The thing is, Galactica is still very popular and going by queue times data is more popular than Nemisis given how long people are prepared to wait to ride it. I do think Galactica will still be the first to go (Rita wasn't a SW to my knowledge). Just by the logic of both age, location, area size.

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    As far as I am aware the running event is a private hire event not run by Alton Towers or Merlin in which case they could have already started the work and just removed the ride from the park operating line up for the hire. To be honest, they could start work at any point they desire after...

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    Does anyone know what they use to do with the excess red water when levels got too high after raining? I'm actually intrigued how they use to deal with it.

    [2024] Nemesis Reborn: Construction and Speculation

    They could, but over time the plastic would fade and look awful... Then again, it would look awful to start with since I can't see it ever looking natural enough.

    Most inconsistent coasters

    Wicker Man at Alton Towers I really enjoy this ride and its an arms up all the way round fun no matter what the seat. Then, every so often last season I would get a ride that is so rough it makes a Vekoma SLC feel smooth even thou the previous rides that day had been great. That bad, I'm handing...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    I think this is more due to location of work been done given that the only place that's actually flat & could take a mobile crane is at the Staffordshire Knot part of the ride. The decent down into X-Sector is quite steep & might not be suitable for a mobile crane. You'll need something like the...

    2022: General Discussion

    The footage back in 2020 (the one with the workers on Oblivion) was actually filmed by the park engineers. You can't fly & film with a drone from the main road. It's illegal to fly a drone fitted with a camera within 50m of private property/persons which is not under your direct control...
