Wonder if that will mean a later opening date in 2021 ?
2 months isn't a particularly long closed season if they were to open by the middle of Feb as they usually do.

Considering they are open on weekends only throughout November / December / February (usually), this wouldn't pose any difficulty from a maintenance perspective, I wouldn't have thought.
Although the question of whether there would be any demand as soon as February having remained open through to December is perhaps another thing.

I would have thought they'd extend the winter maintenance to compensate and look at opening in March?
@djtruefitt, how will you cope without a cheap weekend full of Pop World and cold weather in the middle of February?

One of his reporters went to ride the Ultimate after it hit the deer as well. I didn't remember that one. Not much actual discussion but kind of surreal to hear the Ultimate through the radio. There was someone on saying they owned a funfair in Exeter and they hadn't had any information from the government.

I seem to recall it was going to be a Zamperla Flying Tigers, I think...? Drunk a lot since then.

I think Nickelodeon land needs a update for next year. My daughter watches Nick Toons and the only show that’s featured as a ride still on is SpongeBob. It’s really all about the loud house and the teenage mutant ninja turtles. I had to go on you tube to show her fairy odd parents and Rugrats.

South Pier related rather than BPB, this is absolutely shocking;

The Pleasure beach and Blackpool really need the social distancing rule reduced to 1m so hotels and maybe Guest houses can reopen safety with the pubs and restaurants.

Has anyone attempted to make a booking? I booked for opening weekend and it has all gone through, I’ve had the confirmation email but not received the E-Ticket (QR code) which the park mentioned on their website. Do these get sent at a later date?

She didn’t look to be enjoying that!
Also, 88km/h is faster than I thought Icon was; I thought it was only 85? Rather mind-blowing to think that it apparently accelerates at the same rate as a Formula 1 car, as I must admit that as much as I adore Icon, the launches, while I don’t personally find them as slow as many make out, aren’t the most punchy I’ve ever done!
