Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2026 Discussion

2 trains on Dipper please. Should be top priority.

Or 3 trains on Avalanche or 4 on Nash

 

[rob666]

Two on Rev...

The old ones are the best.

Definitely. If other parks can do it...

If Wicksteed Park can run 3 trains on Dinosaur Valley Pleasure Beach can run 3 on Avalanche

 

[rob666]

Or, er...no they won't.

Not that much difference between two and three anyway, just stacking in the rain going into the station.

Yeah I was more talking about walk up price, for a family of 4 it is like £200 (or £140 if the parents buy the walk arround pass) (although for a holiday even with prebooking, at £35 it would total £140, potrentially a bit too much for an impulse spend)

Although £35 is a lot for an impulse spend, it still seems fair for a whole day of rides.

 

[rob666]

A whole day of rides, on whatever is actually open.

If it’s to truly be a viable impulse spend then you need pay per ride as an option.

I wonder if a refundable deposit for non riders would work, in terms of minimising antisocial behaviour but creating a bustling atmosphere with potential for onsite spend.

Just make it a tenner for non-riders and chuck in the train as a freebie.

I bet they won't make non-rider access more reasonable though because they'll be wary of people buying non-rider tickets and sharing a single rider ticket around to get on rides.

It has a photo link though...at the ride scanners!

Scares the hell out of me...this old man staring at me!

Do the staff pay any notice to it though?

It shows your first and last name as well, doesn't it? Not exactly discreet either, as it's visible to guests who are waiting to go through the turnstile.

 

[rob666]

Not quite the Beach, but very close by...

I knew something was wrong, I could just feel it in my bones...

The Velvet has been closed all week, nearly went yesterday, glad we didn't bother.

Refit apparently, back open tomorrow afternoon.

I wonder what the ride experience of Velvet Coaster would have been like.

Usually just means they’ve hoovered the carpet.

What's the chances of Aviktas being open on the 27th of march, or is it more likely opening in April?

Try May (maybe)

 

[Hid]

Where will the queue line go for Aviktas and Entrance I hope they learn from mistakes in not making queue lines too short Pleasure Beach often has the problem of lines overspilling the queues

Realistically what attractions have a meaningful impact on attendance? Big coasters and IP I would say.

It's Pleasure Beach - PMBO is the only thing that people outside of Blackpool know about and they won't market anything further.

The owner knows best.
