A very good and informative vlog, it must be said. I know it was the first one back, but felt like the opinions of you guys was really valued. From the operations to the merch, good insight all round.👍
Thanks Danny! We’re keen to improve significantly on the vlogs of 2020/2021.
It was lovely to be back and check out what's changed. The streak was flying around and was brilliant I agree, best ride on there in a while.
It was excellent yesterday 😁
Was a great weekend, always love seeing the Log flume section each year.
Thanks Matt ☺️
I too am extremely curious as to how Enso will be implemented. I hope they get it right and it’s not too expensive. Also one of the highlights was seeing Avalanche painted! I know it’s not a priority for the park but they do leave rides for years without a lick of paint. Looks great! Amazing vlog, looking like it’ll be a good season, just need to get the new additions open now! Cannot wait!
Thanks Zak, Icon is definitely a curious situation
@@yourexperienceguide indeed
When I was in the Icon station I noticed how much space there is between the speedy pass barrier and the platform edge, assuming they don't need that much space by the track for maintenance etc then if they shifted the barrier to line up with the air gates there's room to fit 2 lanes down there, 1 ENSO and 1 speedy/easy pass.
As you say, an excellent but freezing cold opening day, glad to be back!
Definitely need to check this out next time I’m in there
I definitely prefer vlogs like this more than the format of tpww.I like the fact that it’s a bunch of people walking around and having a fun day out. I hope to see more vlogs at other parks like this from you and your friends as the season starts to progress. A++
I agree it always better to be with ur friends ad they no u best his vids are great
Thank you for watching and giving feedback ☺️
unfortunately i couldn’t make it to opening day but i will be going to the first 10pm close of the season in april and i’m so exited, but this was a great vlog as usual 🙂
Thank you, hope you have a great visit
@@yourexperienceguide thank you 😊
So good to see you guys back on opening day! Keep up the good work x
Thank you 😊
Many thanks for all the videos and it's great to see you all back, keep up the good work scott and the all the gang.
Thanks Stephen
Looks amazing as always
It was a good day
Its not open until Team PBE say so! Great vlog, looking forward to this years great content! The Pleasure Beach is looking very well
Thanks Russell 😁
Enjoyed watching and had a great weekend at BPB. Operations were great and was good to see everyone.
Glad you had a good weekend 🎢
Great vlog and great to.see you guys back couldn't make the opening looking forward to the 2 events I've booked onto
Thank you, hope you can get to BPB soon
Fantastic vlog!! It’s great to see you all back on this video :)
Now I want to go back soon probably till the big one reopens
Thank you 😊
Great vlog as ever Scott ... As you say it was great to be back on park yesterday and here's to the season ahead! 🎢
Thanks Aaron
What do you think of tpww? Did u bump into them on opening day?
I prefer not to speak about TPW, have you asked them if they saw us? 👀
@@yourexperienceguide no, just a question that's all, I live in Bedfordshire do apologise
@@johnathonnoakes8013 Nobody asks them if they saw PBE 😆
@@yourexperienceguide no, why lol
Great work to get this out so quick mate, it’ll be my pre Super Bowl viewing this evening 😀
Hope you enjoy it Chris
I was able and very lucky too go around the pleasure Beach on the day before opening day to see all the different rides getting test operations as well as, the history of Blackpool it was, really good
Was it a history tour?
@@yourexperienceguide no it was an engineering tour but they started off introducing the history of the place
@@mechanical-adventrues Interesting, how was that arranged? Haven’t seen anything on BPB’s site about those
@@yourexperienceguide I'm not too sure the collage arranged it for us to go
@@mechanical-adventrues Ah ok that makes sense
Enjoyed the vlog PBE and was great to meet you Scott, Mark and Mike in Velvet Coaster. The River Ride Takeover was awesome too, lots of people, a great atmosphere and 2 of us even ended up accidentally in shot at 14:57 🙂
Great to meet you, hope you had a great weekend 😁
Top vlog, thumbs up button hit. Blimey, £80 for a big one wheel.... I'd want an entire carriage for that amount.! I'm assuming they reduced them during the year ?
Hey John, thanks, they remained at that price throughout the year :/
Great Vlog Scott
Thank you 😊
@@yourexperienceguide you’re welcome
Thank you for this update. Lovely seeing the park operational. I'll be going on the 26th March 2022. What do you think of the likelihood that Valhalla and Grand national being open by then?
I don’t think either will be open by then but I think Big One will be operational by then.
Welcome back blackpool PBE 2022 season glad to be back . Velvet coaster night before lol fun and entertainment
Thanks for watching 😉
Brilliant! Wish I could have been there but thank you for sharing your day with us xx
Thank you 😊
Good one everyone! Can’t say I’m too gutted to have missed opening day , a bit cold and wet for me 🥶. Great atmosphere as ever .
In my opinion as the Macks and Thompson’s are so close maybe the whole Enzo thing is a bit of an experiment 🧐🧱👍🏼
It was very chilly! I have heard whispers it’s a joint venture which hasn’t cost BPB much at all, not sure how true that is 👀
@@yourexperienceguide Mmm that makes sense 🤨🧱👍🏼
It looks like you all had a great day Scott and a great night before lol I went to the pleasure beach with a hangover It was a different experience all the best for the upcoming season 🎢👍🎢👍
Thanks Colin 🎢
Great Vlog as always guys it was a great weekend good to be back even if we had to drive 6:30 hours for it so worth it 👌
Thank you! Hope it was a pleasant drive ☺️
Where did Mark get his coat from? It looks really good and im interested in seeing if i can get one!
BPB don’t sell those coats anymore unfortunately
Better vlog this year considering the ride closures. Never got chance to chat this year but did see you get evicted from second floor of spoons🤣🤣🤣. Top weekend.
Lol, wasn’t just us everyone got evicted 😂
Great Video Scott, it was so awesome finally getting to meet you all in person and chat yesterday, it made my day 😁, and it was also great to see Mike on the Log flume in person after watching him do it in your vlogs for many years👌.
I was talking to Mike and one of the other PBE enthusiasts whilst we were queuing for Icon(for my 2nd ride on it that day) Mike had to get off the ride though unfortunately, as I think the seatbelt wouldn't clip in for him, I said to the other enthusiast who was with us that it was such a shame Mike couldn't enjoy Icon with us.
I think £10 would be a fair price for Enso, and to also be included in speedy pass would make total sense too, I'd pay a tenner to experience it, but probably would be a once or twice a year thing for me.
When I went on the Ghost Train for my last ride of the day, I noticed that quite a lot has changed, there were some scenes that had been moved and new scenes added in their place.
I was very impressed with the operations yesterday, everything ran like clockwork, with no ride breakdowns, credit to the maintenance team at BPB, they've done an amazing job in such little time.
And I'm with you about being cold and wet but not caring, I had the best day, made even better by getting to meet you all and chat.
I'd love to get on some rides with you all sometime, that would be amazing 😁🎢
Once again, thanks so much to you all for the memories I made yesterday and the photos, I had so much fun and such a laugh.
Take care Pal ☺️
Chris
Hey Chris, thanks for your support and for commenting! I completely missed out on the Ghost Train, need to do it and give it an updated review in the next video sometime 😀
Great to see you all back.
Try being capsized out of a canoe, start of February in UK (Shropshire).
I am not a fan of water rides since this experience, unless hot weather of course.
You’ll never catch me in a canoe lol, thanks for watching ☺️
Oh my days the first 4 mins of this vid is absolutely brilliant!! Good to have yous back.
Why on earth have they changed Streak seat they were major comfy before.
Edit: not digging the new Icon hoodiesand i usually live the Icon stuff
Edit2: Log flume legends. Big Mike what a guy!
The change of seats on Streak was a surprise, not sure I like it yet. Definitely not a fan of the new ICON merch even on reflection I don’t like it.
im setting off at 12 30 to go to the pleasure beach and im so exited
Have a good time
Hello Scott just watching your opening day vlog now while heading home, our 1st couple of rides was Wallace and Gromit and then River Cave's which for me i usually do a coaster straight away i also did rugrats lost river twice that day
Hope you enjoyed opening weekend 👍🎢
@@yourexperienceguide absolutely can't wait to visit again during the year especially when big one and valhalla opens up fully
Excellent opening day sorry for the quick hello Scott and the team but it was a brilliant day the engineering team have done an amazing job over the winter closed season i wonder if they will finish repainting the rest of the Avalanche track framework and supports 😀
They’ve done a fantastic job
Happy New 2022 brilliant vlog
Thanks for watching and commenting
Brill to see you lot, didn’t enjoy that flume ride with Harry but I suppose it’s all in good fun hahaha
It was far too cold for it lol, but well done to all involved 😆
Please!!
Let us know the certain day will the Big one open again?!??
There is no certain date yet
They won't be able to announce it until the weather improves.
@@stephenduncan3605 I think it’ll depend on when the track is fitted more than the weather
It is nice to see you when we bumped into you on the first month of opening the Pleasure Beach it was me and my wife
Hope you had a great weekend 🎢
Would Mike rather start queuing now until Valhalla opens or have to watch man u every week with how they are playing now.
Man Utd * 😉
@@yourexperienceguide Hahaha glutton for punishment
Dont worry..they will get 3 points for mike in their next match.playing my lot leeds utd who were an absolute shambles at weekend🤷♂️...well after they play Brighton midweek that is
Nice Vlog guys, Nice to bump into you lot again. Keep up the good work. See you next time....
Thank you hope you had a great weekend
great video guys just got home from a great weekend really enjoyed managed a ride count of 47 over the 2 days so was well happy with that . oh and as much as i agree with you on the wheel price i don't think the price will be coming down any time soon as of 5 o'clock tonight all wheels were gone !!!
The prices definitely won’t come down, still think they’re overpriced. Glad you had a great weekend ☺️
Awesome vlog, Scott! Great to see the gang back together! Are we going to see cooking by Mark in the future? 🤣🤣
A spin off series lol
Great vlog guys, it was a brilliant opening day!
Thank you and agreed
Hahha , I clicked on this video and literally got an advert about Blackpool pleasure beach lol
😆
What s great opening weekend we are back in the park today Sunday might see you then
We’ll be about, have a good day 🎢
27:35 I didn't get on as many rides on Sunday
I think we did more on Sunday than we did on Saturday
Amazing video!
Thank you
The “new" big one range isn’t new at all. Maybe in the park, but I’ve had the exact same image as a picture in my house for years and it actually says Blackpool on it, not the big one. I’d guess that the park has bought that image and have just made their own merch from it which surprised me. Great vlog, and the flume takeover was great as ever 💦 👏
It’s new merch at the Pleasure Beach. Glad you enjoyed the video 🎢
Great work Scott, enjoyed the vlog a lot. Totally agree on the big one wheel prices-shocking! Did they have any of the track for sale and if so how much was it?
Some of the smaller track sections were available at £150
Brill vlog, wish I was there first day, nice to see you back together, haha Mike's brave
Thank you 😊
When big one reopened?
As soon as it’s been refitted and tested, be weeks yet
Looked like a great day cheers Scott 👍
It was excellent thank you
17:30 that’ll be me in the ridiculous orange :)
Well spotted lol
is ice blast not on and do you know what they have done to the valhalla
Didn’t go on Ice Blast but it was open, Valhalla is being refurbished
What’s going on with the grand national currently ?
All detailed here; th-cam.com/video/Ti-5zUoIz_c/w-d-xo.html
Vlogs are back 🕺 (not that we've had to wait that longer anyway ha)
£80 for a Big One wheel is obscene. 100% they will be coming down in price soon.
£6.22 for that BK meal was atrocious 😱 the trouble is with a double cheese burger meal and a few farty chips, it doesn't even fill you up.
Here is to the next vlog 🍺
I’m shocked and surprised to say they did end up shifting them, interested to see how they’d do at those prices on a non-enthusiast weekend though. The BK meal was grim.
@@yourexperienceguide 😲😲😲 wow! That has surprised me. Too many enthusiasts with more money than sense!
I wouldn't bother until I can pay cash once again.
@@keno051 Haha probably! They’d not sell them as easily on a non-enthusiast weekend in my opinion
Is the Big one closed or opened? Will be there February the 20th
Closed, we’ve covered it on this channel a lot lately
I really respect the honesty, £80 is a complete rip off for something that easily could be in a skip. 30-50 is ok, bare in mind it’s rubbish to them
Honesty is always the best way, others may spend that money but I can’t justify it sadly
Just met you today (Sunday) watch all the videos
Thanks for your support
Still disappointed with the catering and the fact they still don't accept cash on the park. I decided to go to McDonald's instead where I could pay cash.
I can understand why they don’t, if one them gets handed a note which has been in contact with covid then it’s going to spread fairly quickly through that team and anyone they serve.
Looks like Icon isn’t Enso yet
Opens in Spring
Enjoy day 2 if your going folks…see you all next time
Not coming in for the Log Flume mate? 😆
@@yourexperienceguide it’s all yours mate 😂🥶…see you soon
SUPERMANNNNN
👍
Just spotted myself in this vid
We hope you had fun 👍
Spinning seats... Big mistake
I’m not sure it’s a mistake but I’m not sure it was needed either
@@yourexperienceguide I agree, it's diluting the original concept of the ride, kind of like saying the ride wasn't good enough to start with... These things rarely work out.
@@farangtravels3956 It’s definitely a strange move which I don’t think is entirely BPB’s decision
@@yourexperienceguide agreed, this will definitely turn away a ride on the back seat from me, I really enjoy it it’s so unique at the back seat and them changing that uniqueness ruins the whole concept, as you go up the big hill it feels like your about to leave the seat but that’s part of the experience, and as you said on a rainy day and I don’t think this would appeal to many people, I just hope they keep one train with the normal back seats, and one train with enzo and they queue separately great video as always!
@@yourexperienceguide Offers the opportunity of a different ride experience at the park to encourage repeat visitors
Also additional revenue for the park towards more costly maintenance & refurbishment of the historic rides
