Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion

I wonder if they have brought any new machines for the ice show this year. Seeing as it is Mandy's vanity project, you bet on some new machinery.
What are the chances the gas pipes from Valhalla have been re routed into a new hotter ice show.

Yep, 2000 was probably the peak. Certainly in terms of ride offering.Sorry, it has been far longer than that...personally I would say since the millennium.
It has been a steady decline ever since .
The question is , how low can it go ?

Well flat rides have been slowly disappearing and not getting replaced but it never gets mentioned as they still have few. As I've said before for such a compact park its strange there are so many pockets of dead or underused space in the park. It needs a major cash injection.Yep, 2000 was probably the peak. Certainly in terms of ride offering.

I imagine they're already playing a game of limbo on there balance sheet. They should start being really careful with money, but this place never ceased to amaze me with there knowledge of running a business.The question is , how low can it go ?

Was lacking motivation at work yesterday so decided to have an early finish. Had a wander up the Parlick / Fair Snape hills in 'the trough' as we call it. Incredible that to think even when you're the best part of 20 miles away, one of a handful of manmade structures that you can make out from the top is the PMBO.
Furthermore, spotted this in the Preston Reddit a while back, don't think I posted it. Awesome.
I've never really cared for the ride, but it's an absolute icon, unlike, er, Icon.

First bizarre tweet of the year from Amanda....
Refering to Valhalla.... "Well the merchandise has changed and it will probably have to change again now"
What could that mean ?

Dates leading to either a original 2020, 21 or 22 opening that was labeled on the merchandise?
Honestly can't think of any ride refurb that tool this long. This has been going on for so long that when they started, the Dead Sea was only just feeling sick.
For the sake of the business or viewers sanity?Someone take that account off her. Immediately.

That’s a very interesting Tweet.
Valhalla now delayed until 2024? Valhalla to be rethemed to Hot Ice: The Ride? Pleasure Beach to give up entirely on Valhalla and knock it down in the off season?
Could be anything with this park.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case tbh.Maybe they're having to remove the Shutterstock logo from the merch.

At this point, just release hoodies etc with 202 on the front, then allow people to upgrade annually to a new 3, 4, 5 or 6 patch to velcro on the end. Nice and sustainable!
When you get to 9 you don't even need to make new merch!
