Not sure but I think that Mandy has banned the asking of questions along with packed lunches.

Surely (hopefully) related to a new ride. If GP will be given any kind of send off with final rides, I’d like to think they’d at least announce it in good time so people can make plans. Not holding my breath though
Edit: Whoops, just noticed the ‘final time’ bit. Surely Grand Prix related then. Whilst it’s not a patch on the old petrol car ‘Turnpike’, and the throughput is crap, I’d be sad to see it go. The track spiral is ace. It had better be something good if it gets replaced, just like how the Wild Mouse was replaced by, er, a bar that’s hardly ever open
What are we betting then? £15 evening with a drink, a cake, speech and possibly a walkaround?
also whilst I remember, thanks to whoever did this!

Will there be a saxophonist playing Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain?

Let me get this straight. They're possibly holding a last ride event for the Grand Prix? Where the hell was that for the Wild Mouse?

The fact that they're giving this ride a send off and didn't give one to the Mouse is honestly a joke.

Someone had already applied for wild mouse listed status well before it was demolished and it was declined on the grounds that it had been modified .
So I don't think the park had to worry about wild mouse being listed either. They were probably more worried about protests and people handcuffing themselves to the ride.
Can't see anyone chaining themselves to Grand Prix.

Or topping themselves, if I remember correctly.
As predicted a final ride on Grand Prix and other stuff for £50

£50 to ride Grand Prix again before it closes. Absolute joke, what a disgrace. Just open it for a few more weeks to let people ride it for what they’ve already paid. Sorry, but I call BS on this. The park should be ashamed of this. It looks like the rest of the park will be shut. £50 for a ride, some live entertainment and a certificate. Utter nonsense.

It’s Blackpool so I don’t mind this. In fact, they should get some drag (pun intended) queens for the grid girls. Camp it up to the max!

You have put me right off the grid girls idea now

Come on mate, this will qualify as important socialisation for a lot of the crowd attending this event.
