Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2025 Discussion

I don't think the Beach have ever managed to make one ride the "BIG NEW RIDE" three times before.
Even the Space Invader was only the big new ride twice.

But, it is open and working.
Progress in small steps.
The Gyro Swing could claim that as that is a big ride and if you have ever done the likes of Loki or Tigeran it's gonna be an outstanding ride.

The Gyro Swing will claim to be the big new ride, but only for the first time.

Could I add that I absolutely love the Beach Top Trumps.
Finding an error took me a good half hour, but hell...the search was fun fun fun.

Fantastic afternoon yesterday dippy, company, sun, beer, kebabs and coasters, with no real queues at all...at that special time of year.
 
Has anyone dared to risk their BPB vlogging accreditation by saying “it’s not different” and be struck from future freebies 😂

I think they missed a trick by not fitting spin shot seats to at least a couple of sides.

Spot on this. There’s still significantly more airtime to be had from other similar rides - the most obvious close contender being only across the border in Yorkshire.

Engineered for maximum power? I don’t think so. Engineered for slightly more power than before, doesn’t quite have the same ring though.


One more, unrelated thing to pick up on, again. The registration of the charge against the Gyroswing does not directly translate to either a new loan, nor a paid off loan. We should stop conflating the two.
