That steeple ride with the horses you sit on me and my mam went on this years ago we could not stop laughing it was memories like this that I will treasure brilliant day sadly I can’t go on the rides now as am disabled but it’s nice seeing someone else enjoying them like we once did 😊
I have the same memories going on this with my dad when I think I was probably too small as I really felt like I was falling off and my dad was trying to hold me on for dear life!! Terrifying at the time but a lovely memory fifty years on 😊x.
What is really obvious from this is just how good the grand national is. I love it so much. Along with the wild mouse and the fun house they were the greats.
@HaroonTwo it's an interesting perspective though. I think it looks exciting, but maybe I am remembering riding it while I watch and that creates the excitement
Good to see some old rides remain, haven’t been here for over 20 years. One of my scariest moments was on the big one when I was ‘clearly’ too small and near the back of the ride, it nearly killed me, had to sit on the floor holding on for my life, never forget that moment, I literally did survive that ride.
@@AdcrofromTikTok There was a small fixed bar which did not adjust or come down to lock you in, not sure if that applies today but a small handle bar was all i had (on the floor)
Those are the most rickety sounding wooden coasters I have ever seen - would love to have the chance to ride them but doubt I will ever make it across the pond. Such a traditional beachside amusement park !
Old woodies have character . You do or did have these rides in USA . Most of them have been left to rot or knocked down 🙁 big dipper just celebrated its 100th anniversary . Big dipper , grand National and blue flyer have preservation status .
Natural front, backwards drop on Revolution, is still one of my favourite elements in the UK. surprise ejector like you're being pulled down into hell, followed by crushing positives
i think that ones so intense for a single loop, we went on back first and was like omg that was so intense maybe front of it next but we FORGOT that when going backwards, the front becomes the back which made the forces about 10 times worse 😭😭😭 i still love it though, its never as intense as i remember it the first and 2nd time now that im expecting it
Oh wow, the big dipper looks much better in regards to bumpiness than it did a year or two ago. Back then it was the concussion-o-matic (yes that’s a pun for Wallace and Gromit’s thrill-o-matic), but now it looks smooth as butter. I haven’t been on in ages so someone will have to tell me if it feels better too
Omg I love this. Takes me back to being really young again. We used to go to Blackpool for 3 nights every October to see the lights and always had a couple of Pleasure Beach visits. We stayed in the big hotel right outside the park - can’t remember its name? I loved the log flume & fun house. The Grand National was the 1st roller coaster I ever went on and was terrified. I remember the mouse one too with the coloured mice cars. And outside the trams done up like trains or boats covered in lights. Such happy times thank you for reminding me of them ❤️
I rode the Big One yesterday (March 24th 2024) and it was horrific. Not been on it in a long time and I am sad to say that I will never ride it again in the state it is in. I was actually frightened for my families safety it was so rough. Sad. I used to love it.
That’s great. I loved coasters from a young age too. My point is that it’s nothing like it was years ago when it was nearly as smooth as Icon. The difference is stark. Maybe something to do with the foundations being in sand in addition to weathering?I still love the Grand National and it’s rough. I’m 60 and hope I can ride coasters for a good while yet, I will sadly be giving the Big One a miss though.
Glad it's not just me that noticed especially the return leg to the stations with those smaller hills and drops. Barely seemed to have enough momentum to get over the crest of the little hills
hiya, just saw a comment from the official channel saying it was done during a pre-season run! thats why its so slow, hope that helps if you didnt see the comment!
Infusion looks really cool but in reality it’s hits your head from left to right and hurts your ears also, you will feel really dizzy 😅 but it’s worth a try but in my opinion it is worse than icon.
I never trusted thar Steeplechase, all the exposed mechanisms, feels like you could have a foot ripped off at any second, but Revolution, regardless how many times you ride it, there's always a splash of apprehension just before it sends you backwards, like it never becomes comfortable. Brilliant.
Never went on it. It always looked unsafe to me as if you would get thrown off. I regretted going on those big rockets in the 60s even though I was with my dad. No restraint at all and it felt like you were going to fall out. I was terrified.
@yourexperienceguide That's probably why I never see it. I'll make sure I spot it when I'm they're after the kids hols. I'd absolutely love to know what happened to gulliver.
I went with school and it was a few minutes before we were told to go to the buses my friends went but i wanted to get one more ride in so i went on revolution no one one was there so i had to go alone it was so fun
Hi ! would it be possible to use your video for my vlog? I don't have permission to film on coasters. I will mention you in the video and in the description with the video link! THANKS !
@@brokengirl248Yeah, Infusion used to be located at Pleasureland Southport (Pleasure Beach's old sister park) and was Originally named Traumatizer and sponsored by Tizer
Nice pov's, wish other coaster and theme park channels could do this, would help parks when you and other channels help promote via vlogs & clips. Was this filmed on visit the other day or last year? How did you get permission to film on rides, as not usually supposed to film onride. Very strict with it? Very good footage, can see honestly Avalanche being removed along with Grand Prix in future to make room for a new coaster addition, suspect pleasure beach will try & take back height record from Thorpe Park Resort? With an even taller coaster aswell speed? RMC with loads of theming would be an epic addition there, put it on the map 100%. If not? Could be another Mack coaster? Or maybe could be a Vekoma Flying Coaster as they haven't yet got one of those in park. Might be that? I'm not sure? Should really give people final moments on rides before they close, that was out of order from the park with Grand Prix. If Avalanche is next? Which it could be? Think people should get final opportunity to ride & experience that, guess will have to wait and see? But nice collection of videos, enjoyed and look forward to seeing more vlogs in future. Cheers. 😀👍
It’s noted in the description when the POVs were filmed, and they were all filmed with permission. It’s right that parks don’t allow everyone to do it, not everyone has the appropriate equipment and insurance to do it safely.
@@yourexperienceguide, Oh ok, I didn't check out the description, watched the video straight after clicking on it. Enjoyed, love them. Cheers for uploading. :)
When it first opened it was THE ride to go on, they queued and queued. Up to that point it was just wooden coasters. Seems tame now but exciting back in the day, like the Corkscrew at Alton Towers
Took my grandson to see the lights Saturday before he goes back to school couldn’t believe the pleasure beach was closed wasn’t too disappointed though just looking through the gates it wasn’t as I remember it what a dump last time I’ll be going back there in a rush to think people have to pay to go in these days I’d want them to pay me 💩
As you know I'm always a very polite supporter of Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Unfortunately Infusion has progressively become the worst coaster in the park imo. Yes it looks great off ride especially with the over water setting but rides just so poorly after the initial drop. I don't know whether it could be fully & successfully retracked to bring it back to Traumatiser standard (As I call it 🙃) or whether say Mack should just build a great coaster in its place ?
@@stevehadfield5963 Definitely preferred Wild Mouse over Infusion. Unfortunately according to the various discussions on this, despite spending large amounts of money on modifications & improvements they could no longer get insurance on it, especially after an incident.

Couldn't agree more 👍
Am I missing something? The Grand National looked like one of the most boring ones...

@HaroonTwo it's an interesting perspective though. I think it looks exciting, but maybe I am remembering riding it while I watch and that creates the excitement

Great rides, my favourite was always the Grand National. Last time I was on it was 50 years ago.
😮
It’s that old
Oldest coaster I’ve encountered is 60 years old, coasters can live for much longer given the correct treatment.
Damn unc
Just had my final ride on The Big One today before Hyperia opens and truly dethrones it. It sure had a great 30-year run.
Hyperia not off to a great start.
Natural front, backwards drop on Revolution, is still one of my favourite elements in the UK.

Great 11 coaster POV's Scott we didn't bother going to opening weekend this time but definitely going to Alton Towers on the 16th instead

How do you get front seats on every roller coaster 🎢
Some have special queues for it
Good to see you on ride coaster pov's there Scott 👍
Thanks Chris 🎢
What’s the tip for getting on the spinning seats? When I went they only had 2 trains running and neither had the seat on. Certain days / times?
It’s usually on frequently. You can book on the app
Really good, could you do a pov on big dipper with the new repaint?
Very unlikely, BPB cut our access for on-ride filming in late 2021.
That's a shame 😞
@@alicetarpeyAgreed, they have their reasons which are daft but we’ll leave it there 😅
Great video Scott,and nothing broke down 😉😂

What ride used to go through a restaurant at pleasure beach ???
Goldmine & River Caves
When I went on infusion there was no line and it was so nice to be on quick
brill video. thanks.
Thank you 🙏
Nickelodeon Streak is such a nice classic coaster. The hills feel steeper than on this video though! 😅
setting off to go in about an hour, hopefully will get some walk ons as it’s a school day
The Big One would easily black me out from G-Force. That last one reminded of the Mecha-Bowser roller coaster boss battle from Super Mario Sunshine!!
Fantastic POV's ❤ I can't wait to get back there this season. Are you holding any events at the Pleasure Beach this year?
Not this year, and thank you 🙏
I remember the Grand National from the 70's as a kid. Scared the shit outta me
Thank you for watching and commenting 😎🎢
That spinning seat looks class😂😂😂
When on this so brilliant worth to try x
Loved your reaction on ensō
6:04 I hated Revolution, first time I ever went on it my cousin said I’d gone green! Avalanche was probably my favourite. -Hayley
I'm in black pool at the plesasure beach going on the big wone now
Yesterday (29th march), the big one was stuck at the top for hours, and people had to walk down 420 steps to get to the bottom
The Big dipper looked slow on the return 😬. Great video. Cheers.
It was filmed during pre season testing so sadly wasn’t fully run in
Even though i reckon shambala will be my new number 1 by summer, icon will always be a special ride to me.
Brill 😄
I can’t wait to go to blackpool

@@airlane66It's not as bad in a non wheel seat
I agree with you. It's so bad nothing exciting about this ride. No airtime. Just a rough ride
I'd be more scared of the dipper! It looks like its falling apart!
Don't think I've ever seen Big Dipper running that slow lol
Glad it's not just me that noticed especially the return leg to the stations with those smaller hills and drops. Barely seemed to have enough momentum to get over the crest of the little hills
Shocking either needs to go or needs a big overhaul
Maybe it was a test run ? Usually great amount of air time on the back run
hiya, just saw a comment from the official channel saying it was done during a pre-season run! thats why its so slow, hope that helps if you didnt see the comment!
love how silent they were on every ride then went on the back of icon and couldn’t stop laughing 😭
*2:29** The Big One (Pepsi Max)* is definitely my favorite one in this video
You mean the big monorail?, the coaster that does nothing with its layout.
So its his opinion @@IndevAlex
Did anyone see the tower in the distance at 3:12

Fr! When I went on infusion I could barley keep my head straight
Isit me or is the big dipper alot slower than it used to be?
The POV on the Dipper was filmed during pre season testing, so slower than usual day to day operations.

Is thia the indiana park?
No it’s in Blackpool in England 🏴
Do you guys know what happened to the totanpole (spelling?) And the man who held up the monorail at BPB? X
Totem pole is still there but it’s now red and by ICON, not sure about Gulliver sadly
