what an absolutely amazing video, just saved me £15 pound!
£15 for one go?! I'm sure it's fun, but why on Earth would I bother with that when I can just ride normally (as many times as I like) for £0
How do you get in the park for free?
@@daviduns2196 Well I don't get in the park for £15 either, so 'on top of park admission' was implied.
Agreed
@@stacked7476 Spinball Whizzer spins! no up charge for that
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The price of ENSO certainly isn’t cheap, however it’s a completely optional experience that doesn’t change the original ride. It’ll be interesting to see how popular ENSO is and if the price will be adjusted in the near future!
For £15, it doesn’t look like it spins nearly enough
Not everyone will want to be spinning loads, this serves more as a way to point you in different directions throughout the ride. Though £15 is definitely a lot, especially if you did go on and happen to be facing forward half the time.
Without some kind of upcharge that will deter a lot of people. The queues to get on it are going to be hellishly long.
@@Mitjitsu So you don't think they are ripping people off. Pay 25 and get to the front of the queue. That's a blatant con and extremely greedy. People should boycott it so the pleasure beach doesn't make anything from it. They could have made it free and just let you book a time to ride just like the fast pass option. Oh wait then they don't get 25 pounds per person. DOH
@@LancashireBob Parks cost money to run and need constant investment to keep people visiting. There's a reason food and drink tends to be pricey compared to most other places.
@@Mitjitsu Okay I agree with you that parks are pricey to run and also that during the pandemic they lost revenue. But. The pleasure beach was always seen as a value for money day out. You could walk in for free spend some money in the souvenir shops or win a cuddly toy etc. Now it's 10 pounds or maybe more just to look inside. The ticket prices on the gate are way over the top that's why you can find discounts all over the Internet. To add two seats to an existing ride and upcharge 15 or 25 pounds per person is immoral. If you have a couple of teenagers who want to go on just for one ride that may or may not spin around. Then the cost will be virtually 100 pounds just for the two kids. People are facing hardship more than any other time in years. And Shawn used to be an honest reviewer. Now because his channel has grown and he gets invited for free he just waxes lyrical about everything. You must know his subscribers are predominantly young and impressionable and probably have little knowledge of money and how hard it is to survive. So while you justify the huge cost of entry and the eating establishments in there. That doesn't mean that things are value for money
Charlotte's reaction on her own was amazing so funny
Totally Agree! 🤣
She loved it and span so much on her own!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide looked great can not wait to try it myself
I’m sorry but that looks terrible, especially for £15
It’s definitely better on your own instead of as a two. I’d still take the standard experience over the spinning though!
It’s doesn’t even spin at all. What a money making scam id rather go on spinball whizzer at least you spin more on that.
It’s definitely better riding this on your own as it makes the experience much better!
Looks like it spins faster when there's only one rider... Might give it a go
@@danielledewitt1 Absolutely the biggest waste of money.
Definitely better on your own!
If you ride on your own, and also pull your hands and legs in as tight as you can, you will spin like crazy!. 😉
@@danielledewitt1 why u so negative about everything 😂
@@danielledewitt1 I’ve actually done this on steel taipan and it works, so it’s extremely likely
The ride looks fun but not sure if £15 could be justified, especially in this difficult time where life has become expensive!
Entrance for adults is £42 and children £28 …. You cant even walk around for free now
@@carmelcollins2194 most parks do that i believe
Looks good and great that you get a different experience each time but don't agree on paying £15 extra on top of the park price each time you want to ride
Yay another up charge experience in a theme park. I don't mind if they do this for special shows like Halloween mazes and stuff but paying extra to get all the fun out of the rides. What's going to be next?
The upcharge is just too steep for me. I get that it's needed for the low capacity but such a shame that loads of people won't be able to experience it.
The concentration of coasters at The Pleasure Beach always makes me smile.
It's like they're playing roller coaster Tycoon.
Chris Sayer heavily based RCT om Blackpool pleasure beach, several of the attractions that seem normal when you play the games are based on or are only at blackpool, such as the steeplechase.
After trying it out for myself, I can genuinely say, without a shadow of a doubt, that riding ENSO was the best £15 I've ever spent! I was on my own and the car spun like an absolute top! It ranks as my favorite coaster experience in the UK hands down!
HOWEVER... I do wholeheartedly agree that £15 is definitely pricey, and it would benefit the park infinitely more if they added an extra ENSO train and lowered the standard price down to £10. That might just make it enticing enough to convince more people to try it out for the first time, or make it so that riding it more than once per visit doesn't require taking out a mortgage.
Regardless, I'm still flabbergasted at how good my ride on it was, and would still recommend it, even if just for one ride.

Great to hear!
So happy to see you get your first ride on Enzo and fairplay to PB for allowing you to film on ride. Looks incredible, can't wait to get on it this summer.....definitely all about the weight distribution.
It was great to be able to experience it
I'm always impressed by your ability to keep re-riding things one after another - not sure if it's me getting older but I can't keep going on coaster after coaster like I used to - I think 4 rides on this and it would be a real vomit comet!
I know what you mean Ed. I avoid infusion altogether now as i don’t feel good after it.
My body is just that used to it now!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide there must be one ride that makes you feel sick or a ride that you don't particularly like doing but you do it for your channel.
I had 2 rides on Icon after a Burger King and I swear I was green in the face afterwards!
I remember watching Shaun ride Nemesis 50+ times in a row in a video back in the day... about 10 years ago I had my own experiment to see how much I could ride Nemesis back-to-back and after 7 rides in 35 minutes I needed to lie down for a bit!
Is the £15 charge to stop it from having big queues and for the majority to only want to sit in those seats? I really hate upcharging in parks and from the POV's it really doesn't seem worth the money overall. Maybe once to say you've done it.
It’s definitely better on your own instead of as a two!
I cannot wait to finally ride this! My favourite coaster in the UK just got even better!
Shawn and Charlotte riding alone spinning was some of the best theme park footage I've ever seen lol 🤣
Well done guys
Interesting comparing it to Steel Taipan's. I found ST to be very intense! Enzo looks a lot milder, but still fun!
Having also ridden Steel Taipan, it definitely spins far better/more than this, whether it be two riders or one. This still looks mad fun though.
Yea, steel taipan is so good! As soon as you reverse into that spike, I would flat out spin lol! Looking at this, the car wants to spin but it looses momentum due to the left and right corners.
I’m loving the on-ride POV’s 😍😍😍
Seems like the vibrations on that back spin seat are high. I’m not a fan of selling essentially add-on content to existing rides.
It’s always great to be able to share POV’s when we’re aloud to!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I love when you get to!
That is one very tight seat. I see an issue when it spins as it’s a very slow spin and usually spins are a bit faster. The seat needs a slight loosening to get the spin better at least to do a nice turn during the twists.
I’ll be honest, if I paid £15 or even £25 for the ride you had the second time, I’d be raging. Really doesn’t seem worth it imo, seems too much of a risk. Also, the chances of being on your own and getting that better ride in bau conditions is slim to none
That sort of up-charge pretty much makes it a one-and-done for most anyway. Hard to justify spending so much in addition to the park for multiple rides even if it were the best ride ever made.
Yeah it barely span at all.
Absolute rip off......but then that's pleasure beach's buisness model anyway
@@kratcliffe5680 Shawn is turning into a snob. No mention of the cost because he rode for free. They are both selling out in my opinion. A couple of years ago he would have spoke his mind about the pleasure beach. Now it's like he's being paid off by them
@@LancashireBob It's easy to provide nothing but positivity when your riding free. But then, if he goes on to slate it and say its not worth the money, pleasure beach aren't likely to invite them back again to preview and ride future attractions for free...
Bit of a rock and hard place for them
Do you get a refund if it doesn’t spin ☹️
Do you get a refund if it does spin ?
joking aside, always worthwhile checking this young couple's posts
.........even if i struggle just looking at the rides most of the time !
What a fantastic video Iv been waiting for this you truly caught exactly what we all wanted to see , keep up the amazing work TPWW thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!
Oooooh been looking forward to this!
Great Ride and Review Shawn! I gotta say I like the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd footage of the entire ride! ENSO is so much fun! And it has a great spinning seat by the way!
A shame it doesn’t spin much at all - definitely not worth the upcharge in my opinion. Shocking how there’s even an upcharge in the first place 😂 if it span like spinball/fury than fair enough but to me it just tilts side to side
When they were both on there it turned around once. 😬
Loved the video and love both your enthusiasm and great TH-cam channel 😀Looks so exciting. I should be up in Blackpool with my family this Easter so will definitely be going for a spin on that back seat. I be happy to pay £15 for that Ensō experience. I hope Blackpool Pleasure Beach promote it on their TV advert, as more people need to hear about it, and your great video of you both riding it should be shared all over. Hopefully by the end of the year, it will get a Million views which it truly deserves x
Thanks for watching!
Charlottes ride on her own has made my day, after watching yours in almost silence I felt reassured by Charlotte because I tend to scream a lot 😂
Excellent reporting on this attraction. Looks fun!
Favorite part was when Charlotte calmly switched gears and said "lovely view of the train" lol. Great video TPW!
Thank you! She loved it!
"wheee! AAAAAAAH!"
WOW 🤩 - I went on as a single rider and span 360 degrees 3 times!! It’s great but is very expensive- would love to see a Mack xtreme spinner at towers or Thorpe!!
BTW thanks for the videos it helped going to Blackpool for the first time a lot 👍
Great video as always Shawn and Charlotte, I'd say from what I saw in this video. You get more spinning on your own rather than with someone, so it'd probably be better to ride ENSO on your own to get the full spinning experience.
I think it's fair to say that most will try this once and never do it again.
Imagine this being on other coasters like Nemisis or Smiler at Alton Towers for example!
Imagine if project exodus has a spinning car on the back 🥶🥶🥶
Upcharge of 15 quid for that or even 25 quid is a disgrace!! robbing t*ats !!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The price of ENSO certainly isn’t cheap, however it’s a completely optional experience that doesn’t change the original ride. It’ll be interesting to see how popular ENSO is and if the price will be adjusted in the near future!
Now that looks like like fun can't wait to ride her this year it's look like fun
I mean, fair play to Mack for engineering something so perfectly balanced but they really need to add weight somewhere to offset the balance a bit. Looks far too tame with two riders. Better single riders as the balance is off but it barely moves with two riders.
Suppose, end of the day, it wasn't designed as a spinning coaster so the laterals needed to make the cars spin are kept to a minimum.
Would like to give it a go at least once but doesn't look like it really adds much.
One awesome vlog Shawn and Charlotte. Don’t think Enso is for me especially with an upcharge of £15 and £25, that’s crazy, but for those looking for extra thrills on what already is a great ride, then yes this is the ultimate rollercoaster experience. Loved both of your enthusiasm for this ride👍
@@stacked7476 yes it’s crazy pricey
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I'm with David here do the maths folks. Shaun will know better but say it's a 2 min 30sec experience. I know there are loading times and down time to factor in but they're variables. At 25 pounds a seat and at 2.30secs a cycle, say that's 26 cycles an hour for one seat that's 650 pounds and hour, double that 1300 pounds X hours the park is open, for arguments sake let's say 8hours. 10,400 pounds a day, even if the carriage costs 60,000 its paid for itself within a week. Again I have no clue what a spinning Mack carriage costs so Shaun would be better to do the maths, and I know there is a 15 pound option, but like the author of this post I think sadly I won't be spinning on Icon anytime soon.. I am 47 years of age been going to BPB since I was about 5 years old, I have taken my own children on numerous occasions and had lots of fun there, but if my kids were still that young, for a family of 4 at this time I wouldn't have an extra 100 pounds for 2 and a half minutes of fun, and if I had we certainly wouldn't be able to re ride at those prices.
@@markbrown4013 nicely stated Mark my sentiments 👍
@@stevenmaloney3787 yes very true Nemesis is still my favourite though
This looks good guys will obviously give it a try! Brilliant stuff 👍
£15 for one ride😱, God they think we’re made of money, halve the price and maybe everyone will consider it
It’s certainly very expensive
for curious people, mack rides are all free spinning, the diference between this/extreme spinner and the classic spinners are that this kind of rides have a rotation limit, meaning you can't spin faster than a certain point so it doesn't make you super sick and allow even more sensitive people to ride
Loads of great POVs there to give us a feel for this experience. I still think it’s too expensive, on top of the £40 park admission, especially if you are a family wanting to try this. Disappointed that it’s only really great if you’re a single rider as, with two seats on one of three trains, most people will never get to try it that way, especially if visiting at busy times. Does look fun, but I think I’d rather ride a spinning coaster in a park where it’s part of the admission and not an up charge. Will still ride ICON as that is a brilliant ride.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
A lack of discussion over the price vs. ride in this vlog, I am afraid - I appreciate that the park invited you, so you have a duty to be somewhat positive - but some of the rides you had, if I paid £15 - I would be frustrated. It's no risk though, as I won't be anyway.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! As we mentioned in the vlog, we found that it spins much more on your own!
To properly find out what it was like you had to do 4 rides which will cost between £60 - £100. For a theme park anywhere in the world to charge this on top of entrance fee is mental but for a theme park located in officially the poorest place in the UK is utterly insane. I think the theme park is overpriced at the best of times. Won’t get a £1 off me for this. Should be park of the normal Que.
LONG LIVE TPW!
I'd have to agree. BPB has always been better value for money in comparison to Merlin prices but now they are really going from £25.00 to £44.00 some weekends.
For a lot of people (myself included) it may be that Alton Towers which is the same cost for weekend days is better value.
BPB really have forgotten their customer demographic and SURPRISE....it's not high middle class / upper class earners
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The price of ENSO certainly isn’t cheap, however it’s a completely optional experience that doesn’t change the original ride. It’ll be interesting to see how popular ENSO is and if the price will be adjusted in the near future!
@@04taylorj couldn’t agree more 👍🏻
No way they is an up charge! The pleasure beach already costs a fortune for a family visiting.
£15 is a crazy price for that
It’s very expensive unfortunately
Looks so fun, great video thanks guys !
If your riding with a friend then I'd say Spinball Whizzer looks more intense.
Having been on it the other day. The best way to ride it is a solo rider sitting in the left seat. You'll get much more spin that way. I understand why it's necessary to have an upcharge, but I think £15 is excessive.
I went on this last week. Hot tip try and ride yourself. I am around 18 stone and it span around alot and was the best rollercoaster experience of my life.
15 pound up charge is alot but still has to be experienced at least once!!
Was on Icon 5 times in a row no q!!
Imagine paying £15 to not spin
Definitely better on your own!
"Everyone who has been here today at this very exclusive preview has really enjoyed it"..... Of course they did, they didn't have to pay the £120 worth of rides that you guys got that us normies will have to pay.... This is why I never 100% trust the reviews of youtubers who get invited to things for free, there is a lot of expectation on behalf of the parks who invite them [and the youtubers themselves] to give a good reviews due to being given so many freebies..... I know a lot of them say, oh, we tell it how it is and a lot of the time I believe Shawn when he says that, but not all the time, haha. Glad it gave a good ride experience though I just wont be forking out for the upcharge until they reduce it to a more reasonable price.
To be fair, even with it being free for Shawn he said he prefers a normal ride at the front or back.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! As mentioned in the video, for me the standard ICON experience is far superior. This is a fun option and something different for those that want to experience it!
Looks awesome, cant wait to try it out and I LOVE the Thumbnail!!! One of your BEST!!
Thank you!
So you both had 4 goes each making that worth around £200?
Is it worth that Shawn? TPW are the worst for not saying opinions if they are invited somewhere...
Enso is a joke 🤣 the chest mount POV barely even moved
It’s certainly expensive, however as we said in the vlog, it’s definitely one to ride on your own instead of as a two!
Personally i'd rather ride The Swarm backwards for free than pay £15/25 for Enso 🤣 just doesn't seem worth it.
I mean the backwards seats on swarm were removed years ago but yeah same
@@danielnewton6313 Yeah it's a shame they were, still thought it was an awesome experience though!
I miss the swarm backwards, they should bring it back
It’s definitely better on your own instead of as a two!
ENSO must translate to "slightly sideways, but mostly forwards still"
Extremely Naff Super Overpriced. ENSO
😂
It’s definitely better riding solo for this instead of as a two!
Nice vid Shawn and Charlotte, I enjoy watching you having a great time. You are probably familiar with a guy called Andy hine. I wonder if you could achieve what he did when he appeared on you bet many years ago. Is one thing riding them but can you identify them just by the sound the pull up makes?
I know Andy very well, he’s an awesome guy!
Certainly looks interesting not a fan that's a upcharge and it's rather pricey and it doesn't seem to do that much spinning
It’s definitely better on your own than as a two!
All very positive when you don't need to pay and park is closed. Let's see how it goes on a busy day. Something tells me going on your own won't be an option. Surely they would just pick another single rider to sit next to you.
It’ll be a shame if so, as the experience was much better on your own than as a two!
I wonder why they didn't use the 4 seater car instead. I feel like they weight distribution there could make it spin even more.
Looks like a fun experience but is it really 15 pounds per ride? That's a LOT of money. I get that it has a low capacity but that could have been handled with more/other cars instead.
At looks like fun 😄
Great to see ICON finally launched!! Now waiting for the main event …. *rubs hands* Valhalla!
If your going on it by yourself I was told and experienced it the best on the left as you spin more
Are you going to do Paultons park soon for farmyard flyer?
This week!
I wold like a reversed train on icon, so you can experience icon backwards
It would be great if the VIP option included lone riding ad it definitely looked a lot better when you were riding alone.
Great to see Pleasure Beach removing seats at the cost of the regular paying customers experience for an overpriced upcharge experience. Love to see it!
On a serious note though, the ride does look fun, its just a shame that it came at the expense of the average guests experience.
Sadly for me (And probably many others) at a time when the cost of living is extremely expensive, to spend either 15 or 25 pounds (×2 as riding coasters solo isn't as much fun) on top of admission just isn't an option. I know these kind of installations are expensive and the parks need to recoup their money, but without the up charge and with the service life of rollercoasters even with their up keep, in time BPB would have their money back plus a healthy profit. Looks like fun is just for the rich these days 😥. Sad times. This isn't a slur against Shawn or Charlotte as I've been watching this channel for years, and will continue to do so. But against the greed of the parks who want you to pay and pay again.
I heard someone say on Facebook once that the park was losing money before the entry free was even introduced. Also in my opinion I think the park has always been greedy. Back in the old pay per entry days you'd probably be spending a small fortune to do more than a couple of rides
I actually remember Master Knife that once upon a time you could buy a book of white knuckle tickets for about 12.50 and that pretty much got you on all the A rides (as they were once known) which seemed a very reasonable price as 16/17 year old in the early 90's. You Could also buy single tickets if there was anything else that you wanted to ride also at a decent price. That at the time seemed affordable. So the park wasn't always an expensive day out. I suppose it still isn't too bad except for 2 seats on an already brilliant coaster.
It’s certainly a very expensive experience. We can see them adjusting the pricing in the near future!
Brilliant. But now have to decide whether to eat or ride Enso. 15 and 25 pounds 😳
They so need to add more spinning seats to this. 😁 I love Storm chaser at Paultons so this must be amazing.
Just have to pray there's one rider only when you pay for it otherwise it does look a little tame
It’s definitely one to experience on your own!
Well, I think a trip to plopsaland de panne does make more sense for a ride on a xtreme spinning coaster by this price.
The Ride To Happiness is one another level!
Thankyou Blackpool pleasurebeach for allowing shawn and Charlotte to film all the rides and when Charlotte did the first run on her own I was in tears laughing 🤣,is it only the back row that spins?👍
It’s just the back row on one train!
Alton towers have missed out on SW9, love your content keep up the great work 👍
ICON is a great ride but I personally wouldn't pay £15 for the ride itself let alone as an extra payment, that's an upcharge I would expect at a festival not from the best Pleasure Beach/Theme Park in the UK. A fiver might persuade me but when you pay a one off entrance fee for the rides in a park, all rides should be included. Great video though Shawn. Charlotte definitely enjoyed the experience. Keep up the great vids!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
It doesn't seem to spin that much. I'm guessing the park tightened the hinges as they're worried about people getting whiplash. Like what happened with the Green Lantern at Six Flags.
Looks amazing!🤩🤩🤩
First
I was smiling away and loving Charlotte's giggles and screams. You were just embracing every moment...you've both sold it to me to spend the £15 👍
We had such a good laugh!
Love u guys.. but not in a creepy way.. just love the videos and information. Cute couple too 😍
They have this same spinning seat at dreamworld on the GC. The seat will spin more if you sit on the right and your on your own. If you want to spin more.
Hello
Hi
Haven't been on your chanel in a good while due to the death of my husband last year.Your chanel actually got us re riding coasters in our 20s I thank you for that Shawn.Icon was our favourite ride in the UK.My thoughts on enso ain't that great to be fair.I think the 15 pound upcharge on top of entry price is rather steep.To be honest I don't think icon needed this.For me its took away from the ride.Isit 15 pound extra per ride or 15 pound to ride as many times as you can?It's all money making ain't it lol
Sorry to hear that. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I got to go on a spinning seat, it was on my home parks coaster, Steel Taipan. Very fun
I like spinning seats, it's an extra thing to add, but I think it's a bit of a gimmick, like brave it backwoods. It might be taken away after a few years.
Doesn't appeal to me at all. The excitement of a coaster is the anticipation of seeing what's coming next. Must be getting old. Each to their own
As a German enthusiast I don't think I'd spent 15 Pounds on this when I make it to BPB in the future, that is just like way too high of a price for a little bit of spinning.
I think it would of been better with fixed seats facing backwards
Absolutely no chance I would pay £15 for this, shocking price tag. £5-6 I would accept but definitely not £15 that’s a joke
It’s certainly an expensive experience
not even 1 full 360° revolution for £15? what a crock of 5h17
Definitely better on your own than as a two!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide realistically how many times will they load the train with 1 person 🤔
It's a nice addition to the ride but I dont see it lasting very long because 15 pound a go is a way too steep and I certainly wouldn't do it more than once at its current price point. It just doesn't seem to do enough to justify the price. For something as unpredictable as a free spin ride you shouldn't be charged that much cause you could barely spin and it would feel like a complete ripoff. Nice to see them trying something different I just have some thoughts about the price.
It's good but not worth 15 quid, a fiver yes, but again ridiculously overpriced, but that's always been pleasure beach's way unfortunately
It’s definitely way to expensive
I’ll be amazed if this seat is there for more than a year, I can’t see people paying £15 on top of the park entry price, and considering it looks as though it only really spins if there’s a single rider on it the experience for pairs won’t be that good and the word of mouth will likely result in people not bothering
I can see them lowering the price for it
I never knew they had another ride
this is the best vlog ever
Thank you!
That looks absolutely awful, I certainly won't be trying that and to pay an extra £15! no way. I'm glad you both enjoyed it and thank you for sharing it with us. is Valhalla due to be open in June do you know? x
All we know is summer 2022 so far!
I can understand an up charge but that is WAY too much.
Hmm not sure I’ll maybe try it once but doesn’t look like it spins too much. Personally my favourite is a front row ride on Icon but I don’t think that price is worth with the amount of spinning you don’t get! Loved seeing you and charlottes on ride reactions though 😂
I still absolutely love a front row ride on ICON, however ENSO is a great addition for something very different!
Not really sure "Dare to Rotate" is very marketable lol
