The 'launch' back to the station from the switch is genuinely more intense than Icon.
So is having a sneeze on an office chair with wheels

Do we really need a new topic ? It makes it a pain to find things ...
Regardless, here are a couple of photos from earlier.
There is some work being done on the Eastern perimeter wall, near the exit to the maze.


The Big One track work is largely unchanged. Here you can see the whole section that has been removed - 'the gap', as it were.

Here you can (just) make out that there is a 50ft or so section of existing track between the yet to be installed bit and what they did last off season. The newer stuff starts at the last support you can see in the shot on the right, before it climbs to Star Hill.

Back towards the turnaround, there is a single scaffolding tower to some existing track, not sure what's going on there.

The Grand National is ... still there.

The topic that came beforehand was labelled specifically as 2022 so I thought that a new one for this year should be made.Do we really need a new topic ? It makes it a pain to find things ...

The sad thing is that I can almost see this happening.I think when project exodus is open Amanda is gonna get out her sand castle bucket and spade and start digging some sand making the sea level go down by a couple feet.
The big one will once again take the crown.

UK's longest monorail, yes.Big One is now the UK's longest, so they could hang off that if they were savvy enough...

It’s actually Europe’s longest, as a matter of fact! So its length is now arguably a more impressive accolade than its height!Big One is now the UK's longest, so they could hang off that if they were savvy enough...
It has previously taken Blackpool a while to acknowledge the Big One losing records, though. They still referred to it as “the world’s tallest roller coaster” in the 1998 documentary even though Fujiyama opened 2 years prior, and I seem to remember hearing that it took them a while to acknowledge Silver Star usurping The Big One as Europe’s tallest roller coaster.

Apologies if this isn’t the best thread to put this but Pleasure Beach Experience have announced that they are rebranding and their channel will now be known as Your Experience Guide.
Yeah, it’s not quite the kind of name I thought they might have gone for.

I don't mind Scott & Co. at PBE (YEG) I guess you get to a point that with every man and his dog now having a YouTube channel, there aren't many new names left to chose from.Apologies if this isn’t the best thread to put this but Pleasure Beach Experience have announced that they are rebranding and their channel will now be known as Your Experience Guide.
