Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2026 Discussion

And I think that's an issue. Marketing "worlds tallest" any idiot can do. Marketing a ride that doesn't have a record attached requires more creativity and more creativity = more money.

I agree with this

John Burton had a picture of himself proudly standing in front of Hyperia on his LinkedIn page, but - with respect - it was a ride that essentially sold itself, and would have perhaps been just as successful if it had been called "236" or something equally generic (similar to the relatively unimaginative "Big One" name at Blackpool)

[The one piece of actual theming - the golden goddess dancers - didn't last long, and were gone soon afterwards]

Toxicator was actually a much better display of imagination, in my opinion, as it was decorating something that was essentially just an old fairground ride (although it borrowed heavily from the nearby Nemesis ride)
