Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion

In my young teens, I always thought that they collectively looked like a pop band. Perhaps inspired by (a few of) Steps opening Stormforce 10 the year before? The two lads in the middle look like turn-of-the-millenium Canal Street clubbers.

Never mind the photo, when is the bleeding ride reopening?

Once Mandy has finished sticking it back together with Sellotape, that's when!Never mind the photo, when is the bleeding ride reopening?
I love watching the Epic Universe updates on Youtube, in less than a year they have built multiple infrastructure projects and rides - Valhalla has taken 3 years and it's still not got an opening date lol - that's all I think about when I am watching the Epic updates - they've built nearly a whole town in a year and BPB have spent nearly 3 times as long to update an existing ride - sure Valhalla will be EPIC though!

It's probably just Pleasure Beach's marketing team trying to communicate with their engineers to find out when it's opening.
The music in the background is subliminal coding. Play it backwards at 0.33x speed and it's a cry for help.

So the latest accounts for Blackpool Pleasure Beach are in.
This is for the year up to March 2022, so mainly the 2021 season.
This was the year of the staycation so had my fingers crossed the park could actually turn a profit.
And..................................
It's great news for the park...
Operating profit of £9,505,000 for the year ending March 2022, and an overall profit of £6,460,000

It is their best year from the records available, going back to 1987.
Shiny new coaster anyone

Interesting that they indicate attendence was still down on pre-pandemic levels - I'd never seen Blackpool and the Pleasure Beach busier in June, but I suppose that has to be balanced against the enforced closure up to April/May.
They attribute the profit instead to the reduced VAT which was chargeable.

If they can get Valhalla open and functional consistently they could have a very solid year. I do think the park needs a couple of new attractions in the next 2-3 seasons given all the investment at other parks. A new coaster and a new major flat ride would be great.

Just been looking at opening times and prices for 2023 and it looks as though all Fridays are cheaper than any other day , even in school holidays. If you click on any Friday in 2023 on the booking page, it is £31 for adults. (compared to £39 on a Saturday, and £35 or £33 on other days).
They have a very bizarre pricing structure.

And there is that ice show to pay for.
Edit...and Fridays are traditionally quiet, the old fashioned weekly stayers are skint, and for three nighters it is usually swap over day.
that's why the donkeys have that day off.

Valhalla being closed is probably why they recorded record profits tbf. Can't be cheap to run it.If they can get Valhalla open and functional consistently they could have a very solid year.
