Galloper shit self igniting, due to idle domestic staff sweeping the muck under the platform at the end of the day instead of recycling it on the compost heaps by the National.
That better?

Wildfires in Spain, back in 2019, started by manure self igniting.
Happens quite often.
Not at the Beach obviously, that was the usual lies for fun.
Edit...rumoured to be poultry manure, but that could be chicken shit.
 
I'm not sure if organised by the BPB or not, an Ed Sheeran lookalike was on park today. Really overly done with managers and 'security'. One small problem. Fella looked nothing like him! That said, an absolutely unreal amount of people were fooled.

In other news, Derby Racer was open
 
Visited yesterday on which must have been one of the wettest times I’ve ever visited the Pleasure Beach. Pretty much torrential rain all day until 4ish. Still quite a few people on park, but no fun riding anything in the rain.

Decided to take shelter in Hot Ice and was surprised to see only about 30 other people had also taken up the free matinee ticket offer. Apart from a group of 50 pensioners opposite who didn’t look like they’d not spent the day riding coasters.

I think it’s just the case that no-one knows about it. It really does need the entrance staff to make people aware when they arrive and more than just a little note on the sign outside the arena entrance.

I was there yesterday too I did book my free ticket for hot ice but only watched from the last 15 minutes because the rain was pretty clear around 2:30pm when the show started.

I just brought my coat and sunglasses with a strap that way on coasters the rain doesn't hurt my eyes and still great fun riding, also thought the big one was running very well, maybe the rain even helped the coaster.

I also managed 22 flips on my first ride on skyforce and stayed on and did another 18 but once the wind picked up didn't manage anymore after, still cool going upside down 40 times in about 5 minutes though.

Icon queue was short besides morning especially with them running the 2 none enso trains until later on the ride can be a serious queue eater when ran like that, big one on one train was a fairly long wait all day nothing too bad though.

Still had a great day regardless of weather and the weekend airshow was cool, even watched it from Blackpool tower on Sunday which wasn't even very busy on the tower which was a big surprise.
 
Guys does anyone know if Speedy Pass is mobile only now or do they still issue a handheld device?

What about valhalla, a paper ticket so phones don't get wet?

Speedypass is now just through the BPB eGuide App.

Standard speedypass has gone up to £27 per person. VIP is £50

You can get a paper ticket from the Wallace and Gromit shop , just ask them and they will print one off for you if you show them your ticket on your phone, then you can use the paper ticket for the rest of the day ( assuming it doesn't disintegrate on Valhalla !! )

But if you buy speedypass then you will still need to use your phone

Or you forget it before joining a queue. That happened to someone on Revolution, they had to go back down the steps to get it. Advantage of the mobile tickets if you're in a group is another member can scan your ticket on their phone. Happened to me on Dipper after I left my phone in my rucksack with non-riding members.

Ah yes, forgot they had spare mobiles.

Don't think they have those separate devices anymore though.
