I’d happily scrap Alice / River Caves / Steeplechase on top of your listed ones. Such a big footprint on steeplechase, low throughput, absolute headbanger too imo. Really is a shame they can’t RMC the woodies. I’d love to see a the dueling Grand National get that. Pretty sure they’d be able to market it as a first.
Yeah whilst I appreciate the heritage I think the grade 2 listing is very restrictive :(
@@coaster_dad the quintessential question though…. Where would the queue line go when grand national got redone? Pre show in impossible 😂
@@romanmarshall1412 😂
I miss bling and spin doctor. I believe spin doctor was pulling the bridge apart or something, as there were one on each side. I’ve no idea why they got rid of bling. It was so much better than that raf ride that’s replaced it. Don’t suppose you know why bling was removed? Apologies if you cover it later on as I’m commenting early in the video.
Yeah I'm not sure, but whist I didn't go on Bling I'm not a fan of the replacement
Went on valhalla on Saturday just gone with my family and it broke down 4 times on the ramp bit going up was in there for like 25 minutes or so as we ended up getting off I said to the woman can we have another go because that's a bit of a let down because of what happened she said no with an attitude but because I was wet I just couldn't be bothered so went to get dried off and luckly enough two girls who were on the same ride came up to me and said if you go to the guest office and say what's happened they will give you a pass to skip the cue. Long story short we all jumped the que for icon not bad after all 😂😂 also I remember valhalla going backwards on a drop but this time it just turned around and less fire that I remembered.
Yeah they scrapped the backwards drop with the reimagining 😔
I used to adore fright nights in the late 2000's early 2010s. I did saw and cabin in the woods 'brave it alone' in 2015 & 2016. It was a different time back then!
The biggest problem with this list is also the parks biggest issue: historical relevance. Yes there are a lot of older rides that people like in a nostalgic manner, but are they actually any good? Alice in Wonderland is awful, as is the ghost train, even the steeple chase is only there because it has to be there. If they got rid of those three alone they would have so much room to add some newer rides that would appeal to more people. I can see them doing so in the future as well, while still charging stupid amounts for last chance rides.
It’s a tricky balance for the park what to keep, what to scrap. They are not short on space though so they don’t need to clear any more until they start filling in
@@coaster_dad I'd be interested to know how much money they spend to upkeep those rides though ... I can't see the throughput for them really justifying anything, especially for Steeplechase ... that can't be cheap to maintain year on year and barely seats anyone. It's almost certainly got to a point now where they have to throw bad money after good though, can't give up on a ride if you've just spent tonnes on updating it. Can you imagine how much money has been sunk into infusion over the past decade and it's still that rough?
@Abeus fair comment and they will go eventually as you say. I guess the park is weighing up the cost of repairs vs removal / replacement. Other than 3 of the woodies I don’t think any others are protected so they should be able to do what they want. And it does appear they are very frugal so I’m sure when it’s not financially viable they’ll remove them.
I really love your videos, it’s different to a lot of other coaster channels. I really enjoy your opinions and hope your channel grows and grows so we get more content from you. Top man.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoy 😀
I was at the park when the 2 Pepsi max trains collided, me and my cousin aged 10&9 had just literally got off the Pepsi max and was running down the slope to go back around and go back on when it happened. Crazy to think if we’d been a couple of seconds longer that could of been us and we were sat right at the back. 😮😮😮 @jamielingard
We went every August for like 9 years. I was 6 the first time I went with my grandparents. We’d been on the Pepsi max loads of times and it broke down half way up the hill.
Yikes that was close!
What editing software do you use?
Final Cut Pro
One thing I’ve noticed you repeat in your videos is about how unique the rides (steeple chase, grand national, avalanche etc) are and that’s what makes pleasure beach stand out… unfortunately these rides more so the grand national aren’t kept as well as they could be in regards to smoothness and if the “iconic” rides aren’t looked after the way they could be what hope is there for rides like infusion? Despite the big one, I agree with what you think should stay, be scrapped etc but if PB focused on customer/ride TLC I think it’d be a completely different video!
Yeah it is worrying that these are in the state they are which is kinda odd because I've always thought BP has an excellent engineering team and is super busy in the winter season. Maybe they're under staffed and under budgeted?
@@coaster_dadIf that’s the case then it’s a catch 22 because if they’re lacking moneys then they definitely shouldn’t be looking at new hotels and rides… more so they need to focus on quality rather than quality because that’s what’s going to bring guests back to the park! If there are a handful of decent rides that don’t require a chiropractor then it’s not going to be worth visiting… especially nowadays when there is so much competition!
Ive been a massive W&G fan since a kid and collect all sorts.. overjoyed to see this at BP 😊
It’s a cracking ride 😉
Alice.... charlie and choc factory music... really triggers me that its the wrong music! 😕
It is odd. I’m sure there’s a reason but damned if I know what it is 🤷♂️
Ref Grand National you are "on the fence". Nice pun that you didn't even notice
lol. For once unintentional 😂
honestly, the big one is so iconic that you kinda have to keep it but if it was scrapped I wouldn't be upset, it's pretty rattly and if the big one disappeared imagine what they could build in its space!
Very true. If it went the skyline would change massively. And it’s a tricky one to remove and replace given it spans the site. You can’t just demolish that in the closed season 😉
@@coaster_dad yeah that's true, another issue is that if you remove it the only option is to use the space that is missing but the big one goes through the whole site as you said. maybe a retrack/refurbishment would do some good for the park
@@coastercommotion they’ve replaced some sections and personally I can’t feel any difference. Sure they’re nice and shiny but that’s it 🤷♂️
Only ever went on Valhalla once, only went on it Cos it was one of those days when all it did was rain, must have said to my daughter about 5 times that we should leave as it was P'ing down, but as a Dad I could clearly see on her face the rain didn't mean anything to her, she was in the pleasure beach and didn't want to leave. We got in the boat and were sitting right at the back, the boat started going Up a hill and all the water ended up also right at the back, experience tells you when your ''feet are submerged'' in cold water. Also remember that same day going on the Big1 - the rain was actually pretty sore on the face on certain sections. Even when we left the park we still had a long cycle back to Gynn Square, in the rain. Being from Glasgow does prepare you in life for those days, Scottish summers just mean the rain is a little warmer 😉 Thanks again fella.
Ha ha nice one. I’ve done the big one in the rain. It’s like hail stones on your face 🙈
I wish they kept the Log Flume i hate Infusion, regarding the ones you would scrap what would you replace them with ? With Impossible i think they could turn it into a Haunted House ride attraction.
Mmm good question. I think impossible is in an area that primed for redevelopment. That whole are is being emptied out. So I think something big would go there. Infusion is bring back a log flume. Ice blast I’d put the gyro. Skyforce I’m not sure 🤔
@@coaster_dad yes bring back a log Flume , do you remember The Tom Sawyer raft ride under the log flume ? The area with Impossible and the empty space facing it definitely needs new rides there , it feels too empty . Amanda Thompson should have a Christmas market there with stalls, hot food etc do this to fill the empty spaces until they get rides .
What ever the weather we session Valhalla, one visit even one of the ride op ladies said “come on are you 2 not fucking bored yet?” we were not, we were waiting for a decent photo op at the front, she said “all you had to do was ask” wicked lady and a wicked day 😂 get yourself a session on icon to blow dry afterwards 👍😭
😂😂😂 love it
Top tip for valhalla. At the entrance is a kiosk selling rain capes, at end of the ride is an exit. , a park path bin can be found near the exit. In around and on top off that park path bin. Are complementary rain capes freshly washed by a giant multi million pound rain cape washing machine. Called Valhalla. Obviously bring fresh socks... Lol. Valhalla is Unmissable still.
Ha ha. Love it 😂
I'd definitely scrap steeplechase. It's uncomfortable, rough, unreliable, low throughput, and not thrilling. And it's got a giant footprint (although it does share it with some other rides) so they could probably put a large attraction in its place, or maybe a couple of them.
They sure could 😀
Great vlog as always, you are very professional which is what you need to make it in this area. I will push back on the maze though, unlimited footfall, keep it as a crowd eater
Fair comment although if it’s empty it’s not eating a crowd so they need to encourage people to go in. And thank you for the comment, much appreciated 😀
You should do one for Towers! I'm going Thorpe next month can't wait to try Hyperia and also swarm since swarm wasn't there last time I went
I’m in the process of booking flights for Thorpe 😀
Spare set of clothes is a must after Valhalla, quick change in toilets before driving home😄
Yeah but I always forget 😂
Gold Mine was a fantastic dark ride, Wallace & Gromit is a terrible re-theme. Big One can go for me as well, it's not aged well and after the drop it's boring as hell.
Big one to go 🤣 are you mad it's iconic, bring back Mick Hutnell and put him on it 😂
@@davidGPS95 build something even more iconic in its place. It's a rough, infamous, unreliable snooze-fest.
Great video. Blackpool isn't really my kind of park, very much a fan of theme parks.But their good rides are brilliant, especially enso, so always worth a visit. If there is one ride they should definitely scrap it us infusion. Other rides in the park are equally rough but at least they have character. Imagine replacing it with a single rail coaster in that spot, interacting with the water and other coasters. Magic
Yup, I'd love that!
I agreed with pretty much everything except Revolution & Avalanche. The Revolution is one of my all-time faves as much for nostalgia & I'd be sorry to see Avalanche go tbh. Icon is still the UK's best coaster imo, I feel Hyperia was over hyped, I wasn't blown away like when I first rode Icon but I've also been on Icon loads while only managed one shot of Hyperia so more rides might change my opinion
I am curious how I rate Hyperia when I get on it. Whilst it’s been mostly positive reviews I’ve seen and heard there definitely are some like yourself who were not as impressed.
I think Revolution looked much better as iron bru because the grey it had now it just a bit plain
Agreed!
Grand national is an awesome ride but making a rollercoaster a grade 2 listed building is probably the single worst decision ever made. When it's past it's usable life repairing it is only going to cost more and at what point does it become a different ride when all of it has been replaced for health and safety at a minimum. how does the grade 2 listed status stand then? it makes no sense to me.
Yeah I wonder if they applied for it or if it was decided by historic England? Can’t imagine it was the parks idea. It just limits them 🤷♂️
I think they'd be allowed to retrack it as long as they preserve the design. But there's all sorts of rules about working on listed buildings, so no doubt the listing would make it much more expensive, and I don't think they'd be able to change the layout of it.
I absolutely love Valhalla but never go on it, been on once since the refurb and would only go on once a year before unless it was insanely warm. Absolutely mental they didnt limit the wetness after the refurb. Rev has to stay its the only really intense coaster in the park. Enso if it was a fiver We could get an amazing coaster if they got rid of Big Dipper and Infusion, Dipper is far to rough now its a health hazard
Yup. Agreed
As for pleasure beach express remove the dinosaurs and install classic photos of the park on billboards.
Oooo I like that idea!
That would look awful , it's supposed to be relaxing, I would hate having my view obscured by billboards, All they need to do is paint and fix up the dinosaurs , skull and animals, plant more trees 🌴 Maybe have a pond with fish 🐠
These videos are fun 😊 I'd love infusion if it wasn't so damn painful! Hopefully they get new restraints 😂 grand national is also rough as hell but great 💙
It sure is!
Interesting vid. I'd be nervous to do my own as I seem to have no time for rides people loved 😂 namely things like Space Invader, Log Flume and these days Valhalla. I'd have loved them to have ripped that out and had an indoor coaster or something! Mostly agree with you though. Its interesting that there is a lot of doom and gloom lately...but if we got a Gyro Swing, a refurbed Ice Blast, a revamped Caves and then a new Coaster in 4 years or so and perhaps tweaks to the entry format, then I think things would feel so much more positive.
That’s my hope. I may be dreaming but I do hope we’re about to turn a corner 🤞
I do not go on any rides, but my husband and family go on all of them between them, I love watching and as i have been visiting Blackpool since i was a child, the pleasure beach holds fabulous memories for me, I personally hate it when they get rid of any rides, and my husband was furious when they took away the wild mouse (he says the best ride in the entire park) I do however wish they would still charge non riders a minimal amount, i understand its a talking point, but hey ho if i have to pay i will. Love BPB
Agreed. I’ve said in many videos lately the entry fee for a non rider is just daft. They need the old non rider option again.
Issue I had with last W&G was the amount of darkness throughout, almost like half of the scenes weren’t operating as the story just didn’t make sense. Not sure what happened but seemed really odd
That's disappointing. I mean there are dark spots between scenes, but I've not seen whole scenes out of operation. :(
Remove infusion or get new trains is the only thing id change to the current line up. Im dissapointed that after all the refurb hype with valhalla that the drainage issue on the boats wasnt fixed along with the water vortex which make me no longer ride.
yeah surprised they didn't get new boats, but I suspect they went over budget in other areas and had to make compromises.
@@coaster_dad yep its a damn shame!
Id put valhalla as my favourite ride at pleasure beach you get soaked but those drops are great and the theming is incredible
The theming is definitely great, there's a reason it keeps getting the golden ticket award
Personally I’d keep Infusion. I rode it for the first time last Thursday and I really enjoyed it! Yeah the in-line twists were a bit painful but the rest was fine. It definitely wasn’t the roughest coaster there. That defo goes to Big Dipper. I know it’ll never happen but I’d rather Big Dipper go before Infusion does. All Infusion really needs is the new Vekoma trains
New trains would make a massive difference for sure
Agree with everything you said especially infusion it would 100% be better with new trains or restraints, or just a complete new ride, but if i was in Amanda's position i would give infusion a chance. There are some smooth SLC's out there such as Kumali ect.
Yeah or a modern Vekoma suspended coaster. But I doubt anything is gonna happen to it.
Great video idea. I agree with it pretty much except Big One, it's so iconic that is has to be on the park at this point. They'll come a day when the park will do something like RMC it. Even if the RMC is just topper track over the current layout. The park cannot afford to do anything but keep that thing. The name, the place in the park its located and the history make it un-removable IMO.
Also I think RMC topper track would be amazing if they could figure out how to fit it. A smooth ride on the Big One would be mind blowing😃
Now that we agree on. I’ve only done one RMC (iron Gwazi) and doing my second next week but the track was unbelievably smooth!
R.e. steeplechase id like to see the cars change to something similar to what knotts did with theirs and have a soapbox racer style train and a retheme
Interesting idea!
@@coaster_dad would make it much more comfortable and hopefully a better through put
I must admit, I actually can't stand Wallace and Gromit so I've never been on the ride. I was a big fan of the Gold Mine and was quite disappointed when it changed.
😔 I’d say you’re missing out. But if you don’t like the theme you’re unlikely to enjoy it.
@@coaster_dad I've seen enough POVs to feel like I've been on it. But yeah, it's just not for me.
@@RidesandRambling I don't really like Wallace and Gromit I preferred the Gold Mine
