As much as i love the Big One and it's a big part of my childhood and I'll always hold a special spot for it I can't help but think what kind of B&M they could have built with all that room
@@iitzfizz Not all of them do (looking at you, Dragon Khan) but Nemesis totally holds up, still one of the best. The fact that is is a bit more blunt and less refined than newer B&Ms (compare and contrast Black Mamba) gives it an edge that others lack.
When you put the big one below revolution I was initially shocked but then when I thought about it I completely agree, the big one is a brilliant ride and obviously a classic to the pleasure beach but I think after the first drop it’s sort of just a long dragged out ride, whereas revolution is really the only ride I genuinely get nervous to go on and the wait to go backward is so intense!
Infusion is an awful ride, but I love the off ride look. I would gaze at it in awe as a child, wondering what it is like to be flipped upside down. When I finally rode it, I wish I hadn’t. Not even worth the credit
@@Milani-qe7jp fantasy island is an odd one because they’re two great coasters but it’s more of a fairground than an amusement park! It’s built around/over a fully functioning market!
Went pleasure beach to ride my first ever rollercoasters last week. Went straight on the big one- what a ride! Went on infusion as well. My mate told me to put my head right back just like you said and I’m very glad I did. Not a great one. Very excited to go to Alton towers hopefully next year, but loved blackpool. Live in Preston, so it’s very nearby.
Another great video as always Shawn, you're a legend. I've never been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach before so I'm definitely going to visit this year for the first time. :)
Haven’t done any of them yet but I’m certainly looking forward to getting out there hopefully this year to ride them classic woodies. They may be getting rough now like everyone says but they’re classics and the park wouldn’t be the same without them
I'm in Blackpool this week, and have done all the coasters, so here is my 2022 rank. 1. Icon - Hands down the best coaster I've ever been on, so smooth while keeping the speed and intensity. Love the launch, love the inversions, love the two parts to it, just love everything about it. Miles ahead of everyrthing else in the park 2. The Big Dipper - An absolute classic. I was on this yesterday and actually clapped at the end of it, such a fun ride, and given its so old, quite the achievement 3. Grand National - The first coaster I ever rode back in the 80s. A little rough in places, but the racing dynamic is still great, and the dips are fantastic. Great speed too. 4. Infusion - Gets a lot of bad press, but I love it. It's a little short, it's a little bumpy, but overall the most intense ride in the park. Had it been as smooth a Icon, would be challenging it for the top spot. 5. Revolutuon - Another classic, too short, but that backwards section still gives me the fear! 6. Nickelodeon Streak - AKA the Roller Coaster, a good old fashioned ride, nice. 7, Avalanche - A dull coaster really, nice and fast, but not much to it. 8. Steeplechase - Decent, classic ride. Not fast enough for me, but still ok. 9. Blur Flyer - Simple, short, for kids really, but still quite fun. 10. The Big One - This used to be my favourite ride, but other than the first drop which is still great, the rest of the ride is the most painful experience I've ever had on a coaster. I'm going back to the Pleasure Beach tomorrow and this is the only coaster I'm not going back on. Iconic, can see it for miles, but awful other than the first drop.
1. icon 2. big one 3. big dipper 4. revolution 5. avalanche 6. nickelodean streak 7. steeplechase 8.grand national 9. blue streak (have not ridden but infusion sucks) 10.infusion
Shame that Infusion couldn't challenge nemesis. Not that I'm complaining though, Nemesis is my favourite coaster in the UK, and I don't want that to change, such a brilliant ride. 👍
Great video as usual! haven’t been on icon or avalanche yet but my top 8 is: 8: Infusion (too rough) 7: Blue Flyer (one of my first coasters) 6: Steeplechase 5: Big One (I find it rough and a bit of a monorail) 4: Nickelodeon Streak 3: Revolution (my first coaster with an inversion) 2: Grand National (last time I rode it wasn’t too rough) 1: Big Dipper Love the Big Dipper so much because I love my history and it’s the 9th oldest coaster in the world!!! Is Leap the Dips in the USA on your bucket list? because it definitely is on mine!
I was so excited to get on infusion for the first time and I came off of it with a really bad head ache and my ears were hurting I was so disappointed. I agree with icon being first it’s my second fav coaster in the uk behind the smiler. Great video Shawn
I couldn't agree more about Icon and Infusion. I went to a Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the first time recently and absolutely hated Infusion and absolutely loved Icon. Icon is one of the best rollercoasters in the country, in my opinion.
Shawn, I’d be really intrigued to know; as well as park rankings, have you ever considered doing rankings of different ride types? For example, your ranking of the RMCs, or your ranking of the B&M hyper coasters? I’d imagine that you’ve probably done quite a significant proportion of most of the major ride types now, so I’d be really intrigued to hear your opinion on some of them!
My list is a slightly odd one, it goes like this: 1.) Icon 2.) Big One 3.) Infusion (probably the most controversial take on this list) 4.) Revolution 5.) Nick Streak 6.) Avalanche 7.) Big Dipper 8.) Grand National 9.) Blue Flyer 10.) Steeplechase
Love Blackpool pleasure beach and Thorpe park those 2 are my favourite theme parks in the UK can't wait to go back to these theme parks again to have a thrilling time of my life
1 icon: Love how cool The intensity is 2: Revolution I agree that when it goes upside down both ways it cool but colour lost it touch 3 Big one: again bravo Record breaker it dives cool Good views lovely however can be bit unreliable 4 infusion This rollercoaster going over water makes this stand out for me 5 Big dipper Soo Realistic like sometimes on it thought I hit my head so I ducked
Firstly I'd like to say i'm really enjoying your output of late Shawn. I would place Nick Streak higher than the Grand National. I used to love the National back in the day but in recent years it's become uncomfortably rough whereas the Streak is still kind of smooth for an old woodie IMO.
i’m going to blackpool on the 30th of october for the late night riding and i’m only 11 and i’ve been on icon and it’s my favourite ride there , i’m going to go on the big one i’m terrified but i’m excited to compare the experiences from icon to the big one
Isn’t revolution very smooth for being 42 years old and being built by arrow dynamics And could you please rank flamingo land rides next and poltons park
I went on the Big One not long after it opened! It was the 1st really big coaster I ever went on I think, and nearly gave myself a heart-attack 😂. I love coasters now, so it didn't put me off lol. My friends dad worked on Revolution. He invited me over to the ride one morning (for a freebie 😉). I got on the front row, and he kept my harness locked and didn't let me off, so I don't know how many times I rode that thing in a row! 🤣🤣 So dizzy when I got off 😂
my ranking 10: blue flyer 9: infusion (honestly traumatised because the backs of my earring stabbed my head) 8: avalanche 7: nickelodeon streak 6: steeplechase 5: big dipper 4: grand national 3: revolution 2: the big one 1: icon
From looks revolution in blackpool probably has backwards ejector like diamond back at frontier city, another arrow shuttle loop here in the US. Amazing vid.
My list it 1. Icon 2. Grand National 3. The Big One/Pepsi Max 4. Revolution 5. Big Dipper 6. Steeple Chase 7. Nickelodeon streak 8. Infusion 9. Avalanche 10. Blue Flyer
my ranking for the rides there 1. the big one 2. icon 3. grand national 4. the big dipper 5. revolution 6. avalanche 7. nicolodeon streak 8. steeplechase 9. blue flyer 10. infusion
My list is blue flyer, infusion, grand national, Big Dipper which probably an unpopular opinion, steeplechase, Nickelodeon streak, revolution, avalanche, big one, icon
Icon the best but when I went on revolution when we got in the station after the ride the man said stay in your seat if u wanna go again so everyone did it was so funny 😂
1. Icon 2. Big One 3. Big Dipper 4. Revolution 5. Infusion 6. Nickelodeon Streak 7. Avalanche 8. Grand National - So painful, maybe its where I sat but I haven't dared ride a second time. Haven't ridden Steeplechase or Blue Flyer
I haven't ridden Blue Flyer 9. Revolution - The least-interesting roller coaster at the park in my opinion, but still good. I can't actually remember the last time I went on this, but not for a few years. 8. Avalanche - Short but very good fun indeed. 7. Steeplechase - One of the best family coasters out there. 6. Nickelodeon Streak - A very, very enjoyable wooden coaster and wonderfully smooth, just not quite as memorable as the other two big wooden coasters here. 5. Big Dipper - An absolute classic that's only grown on me with repeat rides. 4. Infusion - I've had my rough rides on this, but for the most part I find it to be a very thrilling and enjoyable coaster that gives a great front-seat ride. 3. and 2. - Big One and Grand National - These two are interchangeable; they're both just absolutely great. Yes, the lack of airtime on The Big One (after the first drop) is disappointing, but it's still a fast, exhilarating ride. 1. Icon - Now one of the finest coasters in the UK. The launches are a little weak but other than that, bravo. A great number one coaster for, aside from Thorpe Park, the best UK theme park IMO.
For me: 10: Steeple Chase 9: Blue Flyer 8: Revolution - too intense and i don't like the layout 7: Avalanche 6: Infusion 5: Grand National 4: Nickelodeon Streak 3: Big Dipper 2: The big one 1: Icon - my top coaster in the UK!!!
I rode infusion as one of my first ever coasters (my third i think) and it was so intense that it made me scared of coasters for a long time. One time i came back and got thr courage to ride ICON and ever since I would just ride anything. About 2 weeks ago i even did infusion again, and I can say that it felt nowhere near as intense or scary as it used to. It must have been because it was one of my first coasters so it felt more intense.
Great list! I don't ride - well River Caves every nown again... but my partner is a fanatic. So I sit in the Coasters Bar with my 10% off diamond card and you can see six of the coasters. Avalanche looks scruffy. I don't understand why they don't keep it dazzling white and then there's that queue. Dipper is the only coaster that makes every car scream. Heritage or not that is IMHO the coaster that hooks people. Revolution is brilliant and unique too. Apparently Infusion is great but my partner is 6 foot 4 so the head smashing business doesn't apply. Grand National is proper knackered at the moment... it is rough. Icon is Iconic. I think Amanda wanted the four elements in the park: Valhalla as water, Big One as air, Ghost Train as earth and Icon as Fire as the dragon plays in the park. So 1: Icon 2: Big Dipper 3: Revolution 4: Ghost Train... It is an old version of Space Mountain and I do consider it a coaster 5: Big One - the queue line is daft and there is far too much 'av it culture...hmm around the ride. Also it isn't sponsored anymore, there is no theming and it is just big not record breaking anymore - best place to see it is from the BVLD hotel garden which isn't even in the park. Sorry for such a long comment but I am passionate about the place. Loved the vlog!
For me - 1. Icon 2. The Big One 3. Revolution 4. Grand National 5. Big Dipper 6. Nickelodeon Streak 7. Avalanche 8. Blue Flyer 9. Infusion 10. Steeplechase I'm all for history but I found Steeplechase too painful to enjoy, though I admit that was the day after Hero ruined my thighs...
Hello Shawn the grand national at Blackpool was absolutely awful and really rough and jolty but I know that you may enjoy it but for me no because I have experienced the wicker man coaster at alton towers and i was by far the best wooden coaster i have ever ridden on in my life.
Mostly agree with this. Id have Nickelodeon Streak a bit higher. Icon is so much better than i thought. Its deceiving off-ride. Looks slow but feels totally different and immersive on ride
Have you heard anything about the new coaster at flamingoland being broke ? Supposedly someone said on a group the electrics are fooked and it won't be opening and it will be getting announced soon. I bloody hope its someone lying
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I'm hoping it will open soon. I did get a Facebook message from them saying its all top secret but keep your eyes peeled for news coming soon the the website.
10) Steeplechase. Awful ride and not sure how its allowed to remain open. How they haven't had people falling off it to their deaths every week is a mystery. Anyone with weak upper body muscles should not ride this... I think you could easily fall off. 9) Infusion. Agree with you.. its horribly rough and I won't ride it again. 8) Avalanche. This rattles your brains out too, and because you sit pretty much on the floor of the trains it feels like the trains are going to rattle themselves apart. Gives me a headache. 7) Blue Flyer. Nostalgic fun. I remember riding this as a 7 or 8 year old boy about 4 times in a row with my dear old Pops handing out a new ticket so i didn't have to get off. Fond memories. 6) Nik Streak. Enjoyable fun. 5) Big Dipper. Even better fun. 4) Revolution. Yep, underrated. I remember when it opened and I was too young to ride, but the rest of my family went on it. It packs a surprising punch and the push is great. 3) Big One. Its a good ride, but it drags on a bit towards the end... and even the first drop chickens out a bit. The first drop would be so much better if it did a sharp right turn on the top on a level before dropping straight down at a steeper angle. 2) Grand national. Its not so long ago I though this was the best ride in the country. Shure its a bit rough like some of the other rides, but damn its fun when the trains lilterally jump off the track. I've learned to ride the Grand National by sitting just off the seat with your legs providing some suspension. If you aren't expecting it, your back will take a hit. 1) Ikon. Easily the best ride at the park. However let's not forget about the best Ghost Train in the country.
i first went to this park when i was 6 10 yrs ago, and went again for the opening week of ICON, and ive got to say this park is underrated and deserves more attention throughout the world. Hopefully we get some new attractions throughout the next decade to boost this park to its full potential.
This park is really good for pacing so many rides in such a small area. Black pool pleasure beach says, who needs to expand when you can find a way to work with what you got. This park is like the UK Gröna Lund.
It’s really hard to believe that the big one and nemesis were built in the same year. Totally different eras of roller coasters.
Shockwave (Intamin standup) was also built in 1994!
I just commented this on another video.
Nemesis still feels modern to this day, B&Ms age much better imo, like fine wine
As much as i love the Big One and it's a big part of my childhood and I'll always hold a special spot for it I can't help but think what kind of B&M they could have built with all that room
@@iitzfizz Not all of them do (looking at you, Dragon Khan) but Nemesis totally holds up, still one of the best. The fact that is is a bit more blunt and less refined than newer B&Ms (compare and contrast Black Mamba) gives it an edge that others lack.

Agreed: nothing much really happens after that first drop. If there was a loop at some part of it it'd be a different story!
I have to disagree you just go forward and backward on revolution the big one is far superior at least for me
Infusion is an awful ride, but I love the off ride look. I would gaze at it in awe as a child, wondering what it is like to be flipped upside down. When I finally rode it, I wish I hadn’t. Not even worth the credit
Probably the most underrated line up in the uk
It’s such a fantastic amusement park!
Amazing I can’t wait to do icon I’m soo exited to go on it for the first time
Yes.
Fantasy Island also looks quite good with Oddysey and Millenium
@@Milani-qe7jp fantasy island is an odd one because they’re two great coasters but it’s more of a fairground than an amusement park! It’s built around/over a fully functioning market!

Infusion is so underrated I went on it when I was 8 and I loved it
Isn’t revolution very smooth for being 42 years old and being built by arrow dynamics
And could you please rank flamingo land rides next and poltons park
Blue flyer number 1
I went on the Big One not long after it opened! It was the 1st really big coaster I ever went on I think, and nearly gave myself a heart-attack 😂. I love coasters now, so it didn't put me off lol.
My friends dad worked on Revolution. He invited me over to the ride one morning (for a freebie 😉). I got on the front row, and he kept my harness locked and didn't let me off, so I don't know how many times I rode that thing in a row! 🤣🤣 So dizzy when I got off 😂

Is revolution a good coaster for someone who has never been upside down before?
I’d go for icon!
when I was about 12 years old, I went on air or nemesis at Alton towers
infusion is one of my favourites!
I haven't ridden Blue Flyer
9. Revolution - The least-interesting roller coaster at the park in my opinion, but still good. I can't actually remember the last time I went on this, but not for a few years.
8. Avalanche - Short but very good fun indeed.
7. Steeplechase - One of the best family coasters out there.
6. Nickelodeon Streak - A very, very enjoyable wooden coaster and wonderfully smooth, just not quite as memorable as the other two big wooden coasters here.
5. Big Dipper - An absolute classic that's only grown on me with repeat rides.
4. Infusion - I've had my rough rides on this, but for the most part I find it to be a very thrilling and enjoyable coaster that gives a great front-seat ride.
3. and 2. - Big One and Grand National - These two are interchangeable; they're both just absolutely great. Yes, the lack of airtime on The Big One (after the first drop) is disappointing, but it's still a fast, exhilarating ride.
1. Icon - Now one of the finest coasters in the UK. The launches are a little weak but other than that, bravo. A great number one coaster for, aside from Thorpe Park, the best UK theme park IMO.
Thanks for sharing!
Agree with you on Infusion and Icon .Big one my no.2 at the park
When an RMC comes to the UK, it will most likely be a conversion of one of the Blackpool woodies
They're listed so they can't legally do that

Hi Shawn I’m going Blackpool pleasure beach in a couple of weeks do you recommend the water park and if you do how is it? Great vid by the way.
It’s a great water park!
Did you ever ride the Thunder looper at AT ? Revolution reminds me of it.
I didn’t unfortunately
Icon is also my favourite coaster at pleasure beach.

My list is close to yours all I have done is swap the big one with revolution
Thinking of going Fri 24th next week - what are the queues like? Thinking of getting a fast pass
It’ll be pretty quiet!
For me:
10: Steeple Chase
9: Blue Flyer
8: Revolution - too intense and i don't like the layout
7: Avalanche
6: Infusion
5: Grand National
4: Nickelodeon Streak
3: Big Dipper
2: The big one
1: Icon - my top coaster in the UK!!!
Great list!
I rode infusion as one of my first ever coasters (my third i think) and it was so intense that it made me scared of coasters for a long time. One time i came back and got thr courage to ride ICON and ever since I would just ride anything. About 2 weeks ago i even did infusion again, and I can say that it felt nowhere near as intense or scary as it used to. It must have been because it was one of my first coasters so it felt more intense.
Still rough tho 😅
Just want to go on icon again!!!!!!
I have never been but I'm going on this Sunday for 5 days
I was hoping there would be one of these for Blackpool pleasure beach, would love to visit one day 🤞🎢
Thanks for watching!

Can you go to hull fair in October only happens once a year
The ride at Knott's started out with horses, then was changed to soap box derby cars later.
Thanks for sharing, I never realised that!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Sorry, My Brother reminded me it was 2 person motorcycles not "horses" then the soap box derby cars on a 4 track system.
Iv booked here for my first visit in November I so can’t wait 🤗
The pleasure Beach is an amazing park I have been about 25 times as its my local
Great list! I don't ride - well River Caves every nown again... but my partner is a fanatic. So I sit in the Coasters Bar with my 10% off diamond card and you can see six of the coasters. Avalanche looks scruffy. I don't understand why they don't keep it dazzling white and then there's that queue. Dipper is the only coaster that makes every car scream. Heritage or not that is IMHO the coaster that hooks people. Revolution is brilliant and unique too. Apparently Infusion is great but my partner is 6 foot 4 so the head smashing business doesn't apply. Grand National is proper knackered at the moment... it is rough. Icon is Iconic. I think Amanda wanted the four elements in the park: Valhalla as water, Big One as air, Ghost Train as earth and Icon as Fire as the dragon plays in the park. So 1: Icon 2: Big Dipper 3: Revolution 4: Ghost Train... It is an old version of Space Mountain and I do consider it a coaster 5: Big One - the queue line is daft and there is far too much 'av it culture...hmm around the ride. Also it isn't sponsored anymore, there is no theming and it is just big not record breaking anymore - best place to see it is from the BVLD hotel garden which isn't even in the park. Sorry for such a long comment but I am passionate about the place. Loved the vlog!
Thanks for sharing!
For me -
1. Icon
2. The Big One
3. Revolution
4. Grand National
5. Big Dipper
6. Nickelodeon Streak
7. Avalanche
8. Blue Flyer
9. Infusion
10. Steeplechase
I'm all for history but I found Steeplechase too painful to enjoy, though I admit that was the day after Hero ruined my thighs...
I feel like Blackpool pleasure beach’s lineup isn’t talked about enough
It’s got such a great lineup!
Hello Shawn the grand national at Blackpool was absolutely awful and really rough and jolty but I know that you may enjoy it but for me no because I have experienced the wicker man coaster at alton towers and i was by far the best wooden coaster i have ever ridden on in my life.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Mostly agree with this. Id have Nickelodeon Streak a bit higher. Icon is so much better than i thought. Its deceiving off-ride. Looks slow but feels totally different and immersive on ride
Can we have more top 10’s
Personally I hate steeple chase because its quite uncomfortable on the hips. You get bashed about but all in all a good ride
So, I know this is Sean’s list. But how can anyone pick any coaster over the Big Dipper at BP I will not know?
Can’t believe grand national is so high
I went to pleasure beach and rode the grand national. My back hurts now
I like Infusion 😂
Grand National #1
Have you heard anything about the new coaster at flamingoland being broke ? Supposedly someone said on a group the electrics are fooked and it won't be opening and it will be getting announced soon. I bloody hope its someone lying
Hopefully that’s not the case and it’ll open soon!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I'm hoping it will open soon. I did get a Facebook message from them saying its all top secret but keep your eyes peeled for news coming soon the the website.
I will be going to Alton Towers
Shawn have you seen what Blackpool put on a about Robbie William want to buy Blackpool pleasure beach
Just some fake news luckily!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Blackpool pleasure beach share it on there Facebook and I think it fake news to shawn
Can you rank costars at energy landya
I can’t spell
Ha blue flyer higher then infusion 😂😂
1 zipper dipper
I know I’ll be attacked for this but I think the grand national should be rmc’d
Personally Revolution gave me a bit of a headache, I’d rate Big One over that and then Icon in first
10) Steeplechase. Awful ride and not sure how its allowed to remain open. How they haven't had people falling off it to their deaths every week is a mystery. Anyone with weak upper body muscles should not ride this... I think you could easily fall off.
9) Infusion. Agree with you.. its horribly rough and I won't ride it again.
8) Avalanche. This rattles your brains out too, and because you sit pretty much on the floor of the trains it feels like the trains are going to rattle themselves apart. Gives me a headache.
7) Blue Flyer. Nostalgic fun. I remember riding this as a 7 or 8 year old boy about 4 times in a row with my dear old Pops handing out a new ticket so i didn't have to get off. Fond memories.
6) Nik Streak. Enjoyable fun.
5) Big Dipper. Even better fun.
4) Revolution. Yep, underrated. I remember when it opened and I was too young to ride, but the rest of my family went on it. It packs a surprising punch and the push is great.
3) Big One. Its a good ride, but it drags on a bit towards the end... and even the first drop chickens out a bit. The first drop would be so much better if it did a sharp right turn on the top on a level before dropping straight down at a steeper angle.
2) Grand national. Its not so long ago I though this was the best ride in the country. Shure its a bit rough like some of the other rides, but damn its fun when the trains lilterally jump off the track.
I've learned to ride the Grand National by sitting just off the seat with your legs providing some suspension. If you aren't expecting it, your back will take a hit.
1) Ikon. Easily the best ride at the park.
However let's not forget about the best Ghost Train in the country.
Yeah but where would Wild Mouse have ranked??
Best woodie at the park!
1 infusion (front seat) 2. Big Dipper, 3 Icon, 4 Big One( back seat) 5 Avalanche, 6 revolution ......... IMO
i first went to this park when i was 6 10 yrs ago, and went again for the opening week of ICON, and ive got to say this park is underrated and deserves more attention throughout the world. Hopefully we get some new attractions throughout the next decade to boost this park to its full potential.
1. Icon
2. Infusion
3. Big One
4. Avalanche
5. Revolution
6. Grand National
7. Nickelodeon Streak
8. Big Dipper
9. Blue Flyer
10. Steeplechase
When you rank a kiddie coaster over an SLC
Probably a nostalgic ride for him and it was probably my first coaster so I agree with him it's a great starter, but I'm not sure it beats Infusion
This park is really good for pacing so many rides in such a small area. Black pool pleasure beach says, who needs to expand when you can find a way to work with what you got. This park is like the UK Gröna Lund.
Grand National number one for me, the track layout and the racing theme is just so... erm, iconic.
Grand national supremacy!!!
So lucky to have Blackpool pleasure beach on my doorstep!
It’s such a fantastic park. We can’t wait to return!
that first drop on Big One looks straight up illegal on the back row xD
It's brutal and honestly, it sucks
The big one is definitely best on the back but most people don’t know that and take ages to queue up for the front
