    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    They didn't give it a proper sendoff because they were worried about idiots claiming onto it or chaining themselves to it. Even during GT's time the park have never done events descent rides off it's just never been the way they've done things. Finally if the park didn't care about heritage...

    Exactly! It's a group of people and not just one person making all the rules.

    They do care when it makes money and gets enough ridership. If you guys want to believe that they don't care about heritage at all you're entitled to that viewpoint but I'm not going to go along with that as there's just too much going against that for me to believe otherwise.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    I've already answered that before they couldn't get it insured anymore and if they can't insure a ride they can't open it it's a simple as that but you won't accept that. There is no way in hell that would've even spent the money on the automatic brakes if they weren't trying to keep it end...

    It's clear to me the fact that they tried to keep it going , had heard that the spent half 1 million quid on the thing last season on the automatic brakes/ New safety walkways and wood replacement ect. If you are a family run company there is no way in hell they would've spent that money if...

    Is it possible that Mac could always go into partnership with the Thompsons so they both have an equal share in the company?

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    To be fair there is a little bit of a difference and that is Pleasure Beach at least tried to keep the mouse going. Is someone else to come over would they be willing to go to the same lengths to try and keep. Old classic ride going?

    Waking up in the middle of the night and hearing about all this, it's horrendous! It's like waking up to a real nightmare!:weary: For me I would only be okay with that if the Mac family were willing to keep all the history and heritage left behind by the Thompson family intact and not just...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    I know there have been days where apparently icon did make a little bit of a difference I saw at least I seem to remember somebody saying that. Is a little bit worrying to say the least. Is it possible that it might take more than one season for icon to pay for itself? If they've not had...

    Funny EnoughI think they also had an extension on Saturday as well from 7 PM to 8 PM which is good I think it all comes down to how many online bookends they get, I remember pleasure Beach has a few extensions during the heatwave in the summer extended to 8 PM and leave at 9 PM and 10 PM...

    All the national needs is millennium flyers and some re-tracking and it would be restored to its former glory. There is a very negative reaction to RMCing, or at least on one particular Facebook page. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1658855161026331&ref=content_filter

    To be fair with the awful Kumback Block system even with faster I.it wouldn't make that much of a difference really, combine that with it being quiet and It's like what's the point? The sooner the Nash gets a new block system and new trains the better!

    In terms of theme parks absolutely There has been talk of an alpine rollercoaster getting built at Hillend ski centre, I think they're just trying to find the money to do it at least that's what I last heard of it I know what you mean Robert but it would still be better than a another...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Icon - 2018 Mack Double Launch Coaster

    I think there metal rather than wood Jamie, I also really like the red posts and the red total poles:) They give Icon's location much needed vibrancy, Especial when the track supports and station etc have Are gray! I also like the rock fountain round by PMBO:)

    You would't be saying that if It had millennium flyer trains, If it was't for the stupidly heavy PTC trains it would be back to it's former glory!

    Apparently it's not possible to RMC any of the Pleasure Beach is Woodies because they don't have proper foundations in order to convert. It would need to be a complete replacement rather than a conversion. As far as I'm concerned RMC can stay as far away from Pleasure Beach as possible!
