Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

[Unicorns_are_lovely]

I was advised last Saturday by the staff in the info centre at the north entrance that all annual pass entry would be via the ice rink gate from last Monday onwards to avoid AP holders getting stuck behind large groups collecting wristbands ... not sure if that's 100% correct but as i always park at the south end it'll save me a little bit of walking and bring me in close to my first stop (always derby racer!)

 

[Unicorns_are_lovely]

BPB either need the storage or haven’t got around to moving the rest of the paraphernalia down there

I'm pretty sure it's clear of stuff now ... shame really as I was planning a heist of an old steeplechase horse

 

[Poopoohead]

Picked my wristbands up from the small entrance by the ice skating arena on Sunday fine with absolutely zero queue whilst the queue at the main entrance was huge

did they run out of vowels?

Unless I'm missing the point, Boulevard is often shortened to Blvd, just like Road is shortened to Rd, so it does make sense.

Seems like a very unfortunate round of Countdown to me...

It appears that The Big One has stalled following a power cut this afternoon! From what I can see, it looks like it was stopped at the MCBR, evacuated and then released from there (without sandbags for obvious reasons) to then valley before the tunnel.

 

[MattyH]

Give it a push.

 

[RoyJess]

Did that stall empty or was people evacuated? At least there were no collision as in previous years

 

[MattyH]

Evacuated from the MCBR and then sent empty and didn't make it.

 

[Coaster]

What the...?!

That’s Mandy giving us all the middle finger

I think it must be, it's terrible to be honest.

All it does is reinforce my views on BPB's arrogance towards the situation.

 

[Plastic Person]

Absolutely hilarious. Not only does the product look terrible, but if she is giving us the middle finger, then this is some next-level trolling business, and frankly, I think she should be applauded.

 

[Mikw]

If you're a fan of the Wild mouse buy one, and then slide down a set of very steep stairs while sitting on it, then smash into the front door at the bottom of the stairs.

Hey presto, you have recreated the ride!

Really? really? oh for god sake!

You are just looking for a reason to dig the knife in to Amanda aren't you
It was never going to come back so they might as well sell bits of it in the gift shop!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned LLDC Manchester's hilarious tweet regarding Icon yet......

Anyone know what the procedure is for returning a stalled train to the station? Do they have to take it of the track or somehow pull it back in? Always wondered this.

 

[John]

Depends where it stops. There's a winch on the final brakes (possibly MCBR too), but if it stops earlier in the layout they'd probably take the upstop wheels off and lift the cars off the track one at a time.

Can you post a link, please?

 

[DiogoJ42]

Unfortunately not, as I don't do Twitter. But someone showed it to me yesterday. Let's just say the official LLDC Manchester account described Icon as a rude word that normally comes out of your bottom.
