    Galactica: General Discussion

    I wear a glasses strap to theme parks and I have always been checked if I'm wearing a strap on Rita and this year on 13 as well. On Galactica I asked the ride host and they told me to put them in the baggage cupboard. The only other rides that I've been checked on are: Infusion and almost...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Icon - 2018 Mack Double Launch Coaster

    There is a second train for Nick Streak in the station, however I've never seen it on the track. One of the rumours I've heard for the reason why it doesn't run 2 anymore is because of the manual brake system and the number of blocks. Big Dipper however does run 2 on busy days and is one of...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    Nash was running 4 trains yesterday and from what I could see (I was in the train racing it :) ) the maroon colour train is the same as the old purple one but with different side panels. The interior wood looks like the old purple colour :)

    Merlin Annual Pass

    Sorry, not sure where to post this (or if it has been already posted) so please feel free to move/delete as necessary :) I noticed that the MAP friends and family rate for Alton Towers has gone up from £23 to £28 for an adult - a rise of £5! If I remember correctly the price didn't go up last...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    ha ha - I am Auto Ride Count, thanks for sharing my photo :) Personally I also wouldn't like to see an Air Race at PB - especially with the one at Drayton being so close - but I guess that they could do with a thrilling flat ride. The coaster that @BigAl designed looks amazing and it would be...

    New Towers Coaster Poll

    I actually found this a lot harder than I first thought, but here goes! 1. The Smiler For me, it is very close between Nemesis and The Smiler (and sometimes they do swap places). I really like the length of the ride and the nice air time hills. I also enjoy the whole theme and style of the...

    Welcome - New members introduce yourself here!

    Hi, I've been lurking on here for a while - so I thought I'd say hello :) I'm Chris and I am from Manchester. My local park is actually Blackpool Pleasure Beach (where my favourite ride is Wild Mouse) but I also like other parks :) I used to only be able to visit Towers once a year, however I...

    Have you seen the final shot on PB's TV advert? Both PMBO and Big Dipper have some very interesting dispatch speeds :)
