Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2025 Discussion

Something interesting in a recent Theme Park Insanity Pleasure Beach Vlog there were 2 members of staff sweeping the floor of the River Caves area which could be something either the area is being prepped for repaint or about to have water back in

Don’t think this means anything at all. I saw staff brushing water away in the River Caves entrance last season too.

I think it only opened very briefly at the start of last season, so by the end of this one, it’ll have been closed for virtually 2 whole seasons. I miss it.

This and single train ops on Dipper have made this season disappointing
 
Well it's movement around the ride

I think refurbished Launch Pad has made that area of the park feel more alive again then it was a few years ago, Aviktas will bring new life into that walkway next to River Caves. The park has improved since last year particularly opening day but still has much room for improvement
 
I can't remember where I read it, I know "unsourced rumours" and all that, pretty sure one of the events there (not sure if it was a BPB Fan Club or a YEG one, I didn't attend either) included as a surprise bonus from the park a quick look inside River Caves and confirmed that work was taking place in there. But no photos or videos allowed so... no evidence.
I would expect it to re-open in 2026 partway through the season along with Aviktas.
 
Big Dipper shut in September for essential CBA !!

The park is an absolute shambles at the moment.

Going back to river caves , I really hope it reopens in 2026 but the park have not yet indicated that it will, which is not a good sign.

Knowing they can probably get away with another 12 months saving on staffing costs while they divert attention to Aviktas, plus how the park is currently being run, it would be a huge (but pleasant) surprise to me if river caves opens during the 2026 season.

I am still sticking with my prediction of Aviktas in 2026 and River Caves in 2027. But I really hope I am wrong.
 
Cheers BPB, absolute legends.... I've booked for the 27th Septermber (Twilight Thrills) and found out now that other people have just booked that there will be no Big Dipper.

Aint been since 2019 so was looking forward to it..... just means the other coasters are gonna take the hit with bigger queues.

Does anyone know if there is anything wrong or is thr CBA mentioned above.

Season Pass for £125 was tempting a friend of mine, but I mentioned that the dates haven't been released and things can change with opening hours daily. Think this has swayed his mind as his reply when I told him Dipper was closed was "That's not on" *can't put the proper reply now forum rules have changed but you get the drift.

I just feel a bit miffed that they push events and then pull rides. If they are genuinely down then yes I get it but CBA.


Sorry ranty post over
