Avyakta means devoid of foem or unmanifested, could this be a misspelling

Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2025 Discussion
Maybe it's a mis-spelling of a mythological bottomless pit of fire where they should throw the marketing dept.
At least Hyperia has "hyper" in it - meaning excited; as well as most of "hyperthermia" which is what riders experience in the summer when it valleys and are stuck there for hours.

Indeed, foem is a misspelling.
People register random trademarks all the time.
This one is very random, I cannot see this being the name.

It's not a weekend, it's Thursday and Friday this week.
I'd say this is more likely an event for nostalgia to celebrate the 75th anniversary than any test for pay per ride - the pricing is designed to show that pay one price works best.
I think this is loosely relevant for Blackpool Pleasure Beach/Pleasure Beach Resort and there is already discussion on the Drayton Manor thread about this.
In my opinion, I don't think Pleasure Beach should have pay per ride back or free entry. I think the best solution is concessionary pricing where rides are available but cheaper to acknowledge that they may not ride as many rides as an adult ticket.
Although they do have the Nickelodeon Land only tickets and the non-rider season pass so they might be testing the waters for a expanded range of ticketing options including a possible non-rider option or pay-per-ride.

PPR feels like a bit of a marketing stunt more than anything else. For it to be a viable business model you need plenty of high capacity rides to keep the money rolling in. Making just a couple of grand per hour from Wave and Stormforce isn't going to cut it long-term.

Nothing to do with their anniversary. It's a response to their crap April Fools joke about free entry that backfired massively.
Do they though?
A single email offering them, once, and never repeated as far as I am aware.
You go and buy one on the website... no mention, anywhere at all, of an entry pass.

That is true, I believe that may have been a limited time promo or had limited numbers to be honest as I can't see any on sale at the moment.
It does seem to be silly to have it on sale for a short amount of time.

I thought it was an excellent interview.
Some points:
1. Amanda clearly has a deep passion for the industry and I loved to see that.
2. In the comments about negativity around the closed rides. Disappointed that she sort of said that everyone was negative about it as not everyone was. I was fine by the specific rides they closed and the reasons for closing them. I think one aspect that causes an issue is the words "closing rides" is waaaay more negative than the reality. Especially in this case. The rides that were closed were low throughout, low ridership, aging and it made sense to close them.
3. I loved to hear that Amanda is carefully weighing things up between keeping older rides and refreshing the park with new rides. Things do need to move on and new rides come in. I guess over time so of these new rides will be looked back on with as much love as the classics are right now.
4. The new communication strategy from the park is night and day difference and I for one am loving it. Please keep it up Pleasure Beach!
5. Very pleased that Amanda is not a Virtual Reality fan!

What about those who are too short for Big One and are waiting around for something to do?
Much like how Towers seems to think anyone below 1m doesn't exist or is too busy in CBeebies Land.
Plenty of reason to have filler rides. And if you're going to remove them then have something in place to replace them.

Well thankfully the park has 17 rides and attractions that you can ride if you're below 1m (3,2ft) 7 of those not even being in Nick Land
Those being:
"There is no magic money tree"
Honestly none of the rides really effecy my visits except SkyForce which I hardly rode anyway as could never get it to spinShe made a good point about people complaining about the smaller rides closing

Likewise, sky force closing wasn't a shock but a bit unexpected, but just like the other rides that also closed they hardly ever had a queue. I'll never understand how so many people could be upset over these rides closing (except sky force) when theses rides had such low ridership and low ridership means one thing and one thing only, people don't want these rides.
Doesn't make business sense to continue to operate rides that guests don't want to ride

Why is the argument always "well go to the other side of the park and do stuff instead"?
Even then missed out on the Hedge Maze which is the closest attraction without a min height restriction. Some of those rides listed also are between 0.9-1.0m min height so can't do them anyway. And much like Towers, a 2 year old on a Ghost Train is a silly idea.
Certainly won't be any money if I don't see the point in taking my kid/family to the park. End of the day she shouldn't be surprised when announcing ride closures that people are annoyed when you're lessening the product. Exactly same thing happened with Towers closing Blade. And it's deserved criticism that dear Amanda struggles to take.
