    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2021 Discussion

    Will be at BPB early this week - likely only have 4 or 5 hours on park. What would you recommend riding and which order (will be there from opening..) in that time. All I’ve read from here is avoid any seats above wheels on any of the Woodies! :)

    How Busy?

    What's the towers like this week (say Thursday)? I imagine it'll be fairly quiet? Plus they say they're only open til 4 this week. Will they be running all rides?

    [The Smiler] Construction Updates / Ride Speculation Part 2 *SPOILER FREE*

    Surely that could be part of the theme? It's quite industrial looking, so it fits in well. The theme is based around a 'type' of asylum, surely that fits in with being trapped etc? It's an experiment. Personally so far, think it looks great for the theme they intend it to be. As a theme...

    [The Smiler] Construction Updates / Ride Speculation Part 2 *SPOILER FREE*

    Thanks for understanding what I was saying :) However I dont know how we would know it was rushed through the design and concept stages? Unless you have been involved directly with its conception I think that is quite a drastic assumption. We all know the design and concept for projects of this...

    [The Smiler] Construction Updates / Ride Speculation Part 2 *SPOILER FREE*

    Give it two years, teething problems out of the way, it has settled in working fine, and all this will have been forgotten about and people will be happy. Happens every year with their new rides. It hasn't been a great show for the park, but they obviously tried, and it hasn't worked. We don't...

    I think it is mainly the rollercoasters that have this fast track issue, from what i saw.

    The Resort Status

    I do understand the economics behind it all, it was mainly a rhetorical question. I completely agree with this. The park infrastructure just can't cope with the number of people coming now, and this really needs to be looked at first I think. I just think Merlin need to concentrate on one...

    Re: Thorpe Park I thought Samurai was going to be on its last legs a long time ago. However, if it did konk, I would actually not mind if they just replaced it with another topscan!

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Re: Thorpe Park That ride has had nothing but issues since day one. I think about only 25% of the time I go there, it is operating. Is it the ride mechanical attributes which are at fault (ie design by S&s) or thorpe Park's mechanics? Seeing the downtime of the rest of the park, i do put a...
