Had a fantastic visit today!!!
Positives: first time I've ridden Infusion front row! Absolutely loved it, I can understand why some people don't like it! But I did really enjoy it.
-Valhalla's effects weren't too bad, just wish they would sort out the ice room.
-Staff were really friendly.
-River caves is looking great with the mist working.

Negatives: there were two incidents of sick on Icon today! Gross!
 
On a random BPB-related note, I just discovered the context behind John and his new machine. If you don't know what I'm on about, here's a video for you to enjoy:

P.S. There is occasional bad language in the video above.

And this is why we love Amanda ❤️

So notorious are those clips that she actually parodied herself in the 2015(?) EAS promo film. Can never seem to track it down these days though :(

Sitting on FY4 yesterday stuffing my face with a gourmet burger, missing the sound of rodents hurtling round the bend, I started to imagine a Tatsu style flying coaster going over Alice, former Mouse site, Bowl a Drome, etc. I do wonder why we haven't had a flyer in this country since Galacticair. Tatsu looks insane, that pretzel loop is just crazy. I guess a coaster like that takes up some room, but BPB are the experts at making rides fit. The pointless stalls & machines opposite where the Mouse lift hill was, leading right up to Ghost Train, can go too !
 
Well, in theory, Blackpool can just keep building above existing rides for as long as they can find ground space for footers. But Squeezing in a B&M of any kind would probably be a bit much to ask! :p

But here's a thought: What about a nice, compact, flying wild mouse?
.... No, scrap that idea, it already exists in the form of one of the most evil contraptions ever created by man.
 
Maybe they could ask Vekoma to build something like F.L.Y, but with a lift hill? Vekoma's track doesn't look quite as bulky as B&M's, so I can see it fitting into BPB better with regards to space.
 
I'd still rather drive a bulldozer from FY4 to the Black Hole building, build a dark ride along the lines of the Mummy under the Big One, retheme the River Caves as a journey alone the Nile, and then is rip the arcade out on the overpass, bring down the dome, fit it out for a large scale food court with a pyramid roof which would have 2-3 levels around the outside to sit outside on all sides offering amazing views in all directions, and it would be floodlit by night.
 
Lots of Scottish schools finished on Wednesday, brilliant chat with one of the Tartan army in Mme Crevettes on Thursday afternoon, more Funhouse memories of a bruised childhood!
There goes the off peak fun.
