    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    It’s not a good enough excuse, the piece could have literally killed someone, and there were more than just 2 teenage ride managers available that day. Again, I don’t think this was properly dealt with comparing it to a motorway? And then when speaking to the parks operations manager, to be...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    We also visited yesterday, to which was rarther eventful. We ended up eating at Burger King by the Banked Hill of the Dipper’ near the new hotel entrance/exit for further reference. Anyway, eating away then all of a sudden a Big Bang hit the floor which came flying off one of the Cars on...

    Blackpool’s “Season”

    I think it would be interesting to know how many actual hotels and shops close down per season due to lack of funds or bad summer. Earlier this year a hotel was going for £5 inc Breakfast. Give it that the hotel may have been awful but there is now way the hotel was making any money what so...

    Blackpool’s “Season”

    So after returning from Blackpool, which I class as one of the UKs best seaside towns! (sorry soft spot!) I’ve become to question the actual aspect of “The Season” now I’ve visited many times in 2018 and saw the place packed out with near enough all bars open, all attractions open and hotels as...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    I visited last Friday just gone they were running two trains on Icon and maintenance insisted they added a third to the system to do something with the block breaks. The whole thing was a faf and whatever they wanted to achieve didn’t as they put they transferred the car into station sent all 3...

    Wicker Man - General Discussion - Part Two

    BUMP! With regards to the moving head lighting in the station above the cars has the plan always been for these to be “static” it’s quite some expensive equiptment just to have these static surely there would have been alternative lighting methods. So again this has me wondering if there were...

    Drayton Manor Park

    Once again, they’re not awaiting any part of whatever it’s not fit to operate. It failed its fire audit and H&S Evacuation. The park aren’t prepared to pay what is over 1 million pounds to put it right. It’s either correcting this or a new ride? What would the public want? All I can say is RIP...

    Drayton Manor Park

    With regards to Pirate Adventure... When I worked there it failed it’s H&S audit so was promptly closed and never reopened. To bring it up to legal standards it’s been quoted in millions. So I guess it’s either a new attraction or bringing that up to standard. There were a few roumers of...

    Opening Weekend: The Inquest Begins

    So recently I gave in and bought one of these £55 passes along with some of my friends who are not enthusiasts like myself. We visited Monday (26/03/18) and well lets look at some of the key points from my experience. Monorail Wasn't working of the morning. Good start to the day, however...

    Drayton Manor Park

    How did he get into the park during closed season? Brilliant footage though! But the park didnt have any Thomas Ladn dated back when it was filmed. Unless of course it was a staff member?

    2018: Wicker Man - General Discussion - SPOILERS! - Part One

    Does no one think the whole story line and even ride relates to "The Ritual" film that was released last year? Not that it's a negative thing but both seem VERY close related.

    Drayton Manor Park

    The ride has been shut as it failed its fire inspection. That's why it suddenly shut mid season last year without notice.

    Drayton Manor Park

    They won't be leaving. Especially Pandemoinum as it's a big que eater for a flat. Maby now the sons have taken over they'll try and perhaps try and get the contract back with Cartoon Network as it fell through before.

    Drayton Manor Park

    Pirate Adventure was shut down after a risk assessment saying it was a fire hazard. Supposedly the park say it's having work done but I highly doubt it. There's been strong roumers it's yet again turning into a Thomas brand water ride, which is heart breaking if true! They need to stop...
