Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion

Any news on the flume in a shed with the twitteratae??

 

[Tom]

Absolutely nailed on to open tomorrow. Possibly.

 

[rob666]

Would that be for longer than half an hour?

The Loki Bar is looking good as well from some pics I've seen. Can see it being busy in the summer watching Valhalla on the balcony with a beer.

Definitely be paying it a visit this weekend.

That corner of the park has been lacking atmosphere for too long now. Great to have Loki's and Valhalla back, North Park has missed them. I want to know everything about Valhalla and will be looking for every spoiler I can find with this one.

The Norse Gods have sent the weather specially for the possible opening.
Will you be brave enough to face the 66mph (so far) winds in "sunny" Blackpool.
The wave spray hits the punters on the Beach in this weather.

Is it me, or does The Big One stall a lot?

I feel like its last stall was only a year or so ago, and I feel like I’ve heard of it stalling multiple times in the last 5 years, but I could be wrong there…

It almost stalls on every ride, from my experience.

Today's the day.

Possibly.

Anyone on park today ?

Literally 5 mins away, I just walked from the office to the car to get my headphones and it's grimmers. Very windy and rain in the air.

Sounds like Valhalla's technical rehearsals can take place outdoors then without any need for the ride system, excellent news!

You'd just need to torch a skip and walk past it to get the full effect.

Or better still, torch the Grand National !!

Just a shame they don't do as much of the funfair stuff as they were planning!

It's back as an operational amusement park this year, with a great selection of rides including new (refurb) coaster and miniature train ride.
They struggled during and after covid and had a good year of events last year, so have reinvested in the park. It's a good day out now to be fair.
