Yep, surely where some Vampire themed nonsense will end up. A coffin or tombstone or some such rubbish

Wouldn’t it be funny if BPB had two Big Dippers.

RMC Nash perhaps...?

Apparently it's not possible to RMC any of the Pleasure Beach is Woodies because they don't have proper foundations in order to convert.
It would need to be a complete replacement rather than a conversion.
As far as I'm concerned RMC can stay as far away from Pleasure Beach as possible!

Ah right OK. Thanks @Spin-Ride-Lover!
I personally reckon that a ground-up RMC woodie or a single rail coaster could be good at BPB, but I certainly wouldn't want any of the vintage woodies converted, personally!

Well they're on the other side of the world, so I think you're safe.

You would't be saying that if It had millennium flyer trains, If it was't for the stupidly heavy PTC trains it would be back to it's former glory!

Well after you were the 1st to break the news of the mouse's demise (several months before it actually went), I have no reason to doubt you Roberto.

Excellent. One can easily recreate the ride experience of the Nash at the present with a sledgehammer and a willing volunteer "assuming the position." The space could be so much better utilised, let's hope as @Matt N says as with Twisted Colossus there's a mysterious fire and it just has to be bulldozed.
As it is listed, if there was a "mysterious fire", the ride would have to be rebuilt...using traditional methods.
There are big penalties for arson, even where you own the land and structures on it...and further big financial penalties for deliberate damage to a listed structure.
Rough as it is, it ain't going nowhere soon.
Dippy is the seat expert here, you can get a reasonably decent ride if you sit in the front half on a non wheel seat.
You shouldn't have to admittedly,but it does make a big difference.

2nd row on the Nash is smooth! Just avoid the back row .... although based on the news this week maybe it can be actively marketed at kidney stone sufferers?
