    That will cost you £15

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2024 Discussion

    I would be impressed if all the cars are in functioning order, I'm pretty certain none are even on the track currently? The whole thing is absolutely insane. The only good thing I can say for it, at least they're doing something

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2024 Discussion

    Not much to report from this week bar a couple of frustrating developments - River Caves is now relegated to the bottom of the queue times part of the app, in with Ice Blast and Grand Prix. Surely not a good sign? - Ghost train still has numerous broken effects, but bizarrely they've replaced...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2024 Discussion

    There was an issue adding the second train on Saturday, then they ended up having to change the wheels on train 1 due to its speed. Not that it made much odds, as it still estopped approximately 5 million times today. Extremely busy on Saturday, as expected. Icon ran 3 trains, and still held a...

    He's already on the board - Operations Director The video was for their season launch, a corporate presentation for the press & local businesses etc I think it's the first proper acknowledgement we've had they're planning to mark Big One reaching 30. To be honest I was getting a bit worried...

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Rita was 1, Nemesis was 2 when I rode it but I believe it did drop to 1 for the last hour or so Didn't get to Thirteen as every time I wasn't actively queueing for something, it was closed

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    Availability poor today. Nemesis opened around 13:00. Thirteen spent more time closed than open, Galactica not far behind. Smiler had a couple of closures but unfortunately I did manage to get encouraged to ride it. Walked over to Alty Mans but it was closed, so I still haven't had a go! There...

    Nemesis Reborn: General Discussion

    Slightly late to this party, but finally managed a ride I will be honest, it's a bit underwhelming. The loss of the roar was the first thing I noticed. The efforts to improve FV are great, the queue theming is good (although there are bits that clearly shouldn't be there). I found it slow...

    Big one is operating half a train today. Icon is on one train, inexplicably. The arcade at the entrance is having significant work done, there's fencing and scaffolding around it, and looks like the shutters have been removed on the park facing side. Not clear if refitting or possibly ripping...

    1 train everything is a very regular thing now unfortunately. How busy it is seems to have zero effect. The park have more data than ever with the scan every ride, but don't seem to utilise it to make capacity efficiencies. Last year, they went through a phase of bringing the Enso train around...

    It went to Saturday/Sunday operation only during the latter half of last season, before they seemed to give up entirely. I did see they had some lads looking at the helix structure last year, which made me think the issue may involve that, but I could be putting two and two and getting five...

    I am assuming the Dora one is because the audio is currently non-existent, which makes you wonder what's been done in all the time it was closed last year! It closed weeks early last season, but I understand this was for urgent repairs on the building rather than anything we can see. The...

    Couple of new entries on the planned maintenance page I'll be incredibly disappointed if River Caves becomes a regular closure
