Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion

[Dipper_Dave]

Is there an entrance at the arena, then? If so, where is it?

Watson Road, the road that goes under the BPB overpass. Between Nash & Streak. Supposedly an ‘exclusive season pass holder entrance’, it’s rarely open

 

[Coaster]

Pleasure Beach have released a short promo video;



I wonder if the audio is a preview of the new soundtrack?

 

[pluk]

Already a stronger marketing effort than there was for the whole of Icon.

Forecast for opening weekend.
Hahaha.
Glad Crevettes has a flipping roof on my balcony.
Vloggers will need waterwings and snorkels.
Wet, cold and windy.
Classic Blackpool season starter.

Can't wait for the vlogs

"IT'S REALLY GOOD HERE. BLACKPOOL IS THE GREATEST PARK."

They're charging £39 for this. If you turn up on the day it's £46! Absoultely appaling, unless you live very close to BPB, I would wager (not literally of course) that you could get a trip to a park on the continent for a similar price if not less, which would be a better use of your money.

Closed season closes
Bring on the rain wind and cold
Freeze the vloggers hard

Grand Prix is also now closed till easter due to ongoing engineering work.

Great. I can’t even stalk @rob666 from it and shout abuse at him on the bridge / in the Icon queue

I'm not one of the fat blokes that broke it last time, am I?

We're big boned.

So half the rides shut, miserable weather, Icon getting 300-400pph if it's open.

£39...

If this was the old days of paying £15 I'd be at a point where I would wonder if it's worth it.

Rides down everywhere
Vloggers running to icon
Rob is in crevettes

...supping sarsaparilla in the snow.

...supping sarsaparilla in the snow.

Walking like a cowboy after an unfortunate dismounting incident with Steeplechase.

 

[MattyH]

You think steeplechase will open? Brave.

I can go for 'nothing' with my season pass and live 20 minutes away, it's a no from me.

 

[MattyH]

Just found out BPB charge everyone 2 and under if they wish to actually go on any rides.

£36 on the gate with various online prices but the cheapest is still £28...

Even with the cheapest of cheap options it's £60 just for a parent and child to enter...

The eagle-eyed PBE have spotted confirmation that Enso will be upcharge on the new 2022 park map, though AFAIK there's still no official confirmation of the price:

Apparently only 1 train will be having the spinning seats fitted, this train is currently at Mack rides undergoing modification so the ride will be running on no more than 2 trains in the meantime.

 

[Prof Burp]

Can someone tell me if Nickelodeon Land has closed so that Beaver Creek can return? If Amanda Thompson’s social media posts from just over a Year ago are anything to go by the answer will be yes.

 

[rob666]

Beaver Creek is not returning.
The answer is no.

Interestingly it also implies that booking is also required in order to experience Enso.
