Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

[John_P]

The Saturdays always seem much busier than the Sundays as well. Just hope the weather is favourable, was hard going at the weekend in Phantasialand when it was -5 degrees.

And one last point...if it is mild and sunny...HEAVING!

I think I've been talked out of it!!!

Cheers for replays though

 

[Coaster]

I've generally had good visits in February, as long as you don't expect all the rides to be on capacity (and there can sometimes be a few closures) it's generally fun.

Giving it a miss this year I think, mind.

 

[rob666]

Don't believe you Jamie!
We will have mischief if I spot you in the Icon queue before Easter.
Promise.

 

[Katy]

I'd hope, giving that they only strip down one Icon train per year, that it'd be on 2 trains at least from the start

 

[rob666]

I'm sure it will be on 2.
How many of the others will be though?
Bet Revolution will be on one.

Grand National will be on 2... as will the Ghost Train

Can you imagine how long a normal Ghost train queue would take with only 2 cars on track!!

Gosh, imagine the queue for the Ghost Train if it really was on two cars.

 

[Dipper_Dave]

Yes, with every other car being loaded with a speedy passer

 

[John]

Every year Ghost Train seems to run fewer cars so by about 2029 it probably will be on about 2.

I think they may have finally caught onto the trend.

Only took them about 2 decades

It's going to be more like Fright Afternoons though !!! Unless they change the closing times.

And it stops a week before Halloween?

 

[siralgenon]

Could this be a show though and not an actual event?

Good call. Must be.

Unless they’re cutting the season short?

Edit: never mind, I’ve just seen they’re open till 3rd November on their website

Edit #2: if this is a full Halloween event, it could be that they are trying not to compete with other events like Alton Towers Scarefest by holding it slightly earlier.

Lancashire School Holidays are Monday 21 October - Friday 25 October 2019. Strange that its not including the Saturday night though

I don't know what is scarier, the image or Amanda's spelling.

I don’t come on here very often but thought I would make a suggestion based on a coaster I rode recently.
Went to Funspot in Kissimmee, Orlando this week to ride Mine Blower and wow, this coaster would be perfect for PB and I think it could fit on the Bowl-a-Drome site.
As far as I know this would be the only inverting woody in Europe, certainly the U.K. and according to a ride op I spoke to the cost was $6m (around £4.5m)
Wonder if any of you have ridden it and think it would make a great fit?
