Previous events have used the River Caves, Wallace, Magnolia Cafe routes. They’ve also used Planet Rock. Either or both are likely to be used again.
Have to say I haven’t rated previous years: poor quality acting, lots of gaps with nothing happening and particularly disjointed. It’s also pretty pricey.

The Wax figure store at Blackpool isn't as good as it seems.

I know its the wrong end of the park but surely all the Space Invader building isn't used up by the Pizza place? Invade just sounds like an odd choice of words to not be a clue (along with the word space too).
EDIT: Reading a review of last year (https://www.scaredirectory.co.uk/journey-to-hell-freak-nights-blackpool-pleasure-beach-review/ SPOILERS) it appears the route did indeed pass Space Invader so this would now 100% be my assumption.

Not a bad offer at all from Pleasure Beach actually. Certainly for those of us that are a little more “mature” looking…

Once a ..... - to be fair though it does seem like BPB have finally, at the end of the season, listened to the valid criticism of their pricing structures and are looking for innovative solutions to get people on park

Given how she's been treating her employees this year, isn't that just the staff room?

Just had a quick look at opening times for next year. Looks like they have been chopped again from what they originally published.
5pm closes on all days right up until July. (except 2 late night riding 9pm days and 6pm on Good Friday and Easter Sunday/Monday)
So most of the Easter holidays, May half term and weekends are all 5pm closes. And I am guessing Nickelodeon land will shut at 4pm
6pm on weekends from July, and generally 7pm from the end of July. With 3 more late night riding events before the end of the summer.

I've not visited since the before-times but from what I've seen they had a pretty successful 2020 in terms of guest numbers (presumably mainly because people couldn't get £20 flights to Spain). The only trouble was they did themselves no favours at the time with reports of multiple-hour waits for the likes of Icon, PMBO and even Nash. that's before you even begin to delve into all the chronically undercapacity family rides.
I can't imagine many of the non-regulars who gave the park a try that year will have returned in a hurry.
