My sister spent the summer behind the till in BPB Canteen! It was seasonal, & she,s on the dole again with a good reference. Yes it shut at 8pm every night & was £50 each just to get in! (want more visitors, sort that bit out!) , but its strange that the lights go on till january, when you assume councils are skint & theres no real summer season anymore.
‘I’ve just streaked’ 😂😂. Great video mate and a nice wrap up to the end of the season 😁. Hopefully the ride availability will be better next year, and rides like river caves and ice blast will be back 😊🤞
The valhalla part had me 🤣🤣🤣 Joe stealing your camera 🤣🤣 Proves what I tell everyone though, you still get soaked even with a poncho on valhalla, but hey that's the fun of the ride.
1.29 We are in the background, my Son noticed you and also we saw you on the M55. Was a great day, we've had a few bad visits over the past few months, was nice to finally have a good day. Just uploaded our video of our day.
Would love a video with you and joe. Regardless, great video Chris. Blackpool hopefully increases ride count next year with river cases and also ice blast. Also hope new effects on ghost train.
Fab video--after not been for about 20 years or any roller coaster for that time got back into it this year in my 50's went to the pleasure beach 4 times had a great time everytime although the 4th time was the best which included Valhalla 2 times in a row with the fire effect working it was great the girl in front thought we were going to burn--Anyway was hoping to get there on saturday but i had my Gallbladder out 5 weeks ago so still not ready to have lap bars pushed down on my tummy or shaken around on the roller coasters(Caz's husband writing this Darren)
I thought that operations were first class yesterday. Apart from the Big One they kept the rides open later than 4pm in South Park too we went on Avalanche at 4.20pm and Icon was still open. Everything was kept running the staff were in good spirits and pushing the trains out quickly. The only issue for me was the number of food outlets closed I think they got caught out it was really busy and there were long lines for people to get something to eat or drink.
@@coaster_dad It was very risky on their signature ride but thankfully paid off. Really enjoyed the vlog we saw you in the park but didn't want to disturb you as you were filming. Looking forward to the new season and hopefully it will be with the River Caves and Ice Blast open.
firework show was better than expected! noticed myself behind you after avatar but couldn't say hi 😭 hope the 2025 season is better than this one atleast
Loved the video and your channel Chris! Do you ever do like group fan meet ups at parks? From a fellow Scot! Wish M&Ds wasnt rubbish as would have been a good location!
Hey, thank you! I don’t specifically do meet ups. It’s more just random meets at parks. Obviously there are key days like first and last day of the season, ride openings etc. and yeah something decent north of the border is desperately needed but I can’t see it happening any time soon 😔
The park is looking tired, I think that if she wants to start branding it as a resort then she really needs to invest the money into the park. Also think instead of another hotel she should continue with the air b and b style accommodation where the shop fronts are on the south side of the park.
Dropped my phone on Wallace and pleasure beach "couldn't get it/find it" It was on the corner noticeably on the track after first wee dip (I add this as a negative 😂
I think you've given a fair score there. Still loads of room for improvement though, and fingers crossed 🤞 2025 is going to put smiles back on our faces. I truly believe Pleasure Beach can bring back its hay day!!! 🎢🎡🎠
Visited last week with my kids and grandchildren half the rides shut no atmosphere sad to say I've been visiting for over 30 years but won't bother again
Yeah I’ve seen a few vlogs from the past couple of weeks and it looked terrible. I was kinda surprised yesterday was not like that. More people and most rides open!
If your year had no new investment in rides/attractions and several of your existing rides are now not operating then your park is in decline. Hopefully they will be able to reverse this trend for next year. Great video as always.
Yeah worst visit I've had this year. Icon, revolution, big dipper and obviously ice blast was shut (also big one but i understand the wind issues) if it wasnt for valhallah it would uave been a write off. And i know it keeps getting said but its just getting stale. They need a big new attraction at least to get me back. I really want to love the place as much as i did but its hard at the moment
Would be interesting. I’ve heard a few people say that current safety regulations in the UK won’t allow RMC restraints so it would either need some regs to be changed or some custom restraints.
@coaster_dad I never knew this coaster dad mibbie that's why we've not seen an rmc as of yet in the UK 🤔 but in saying that is not the same restraints as a mack ride 🤔
I saw him from a distance but didn’t actually bump in to him. In fact at the start of our vlogs you can see him behind me in mine and me in front of him in his 😂
Sadly, this for me has been the weakest season from the park in a long time. I really hope that I will be saying the exact opposite at the end of the 2025 season, I really do want the park to succeed.
40% of the rollercoasters at Pleasure Beach are from the 1920s or the 1930s. The park is beyond desperate for investment. I get the nostalgia, but they need to flatten most of the rides and join this century. On a positive note, Icon is great.
Yeah they acknowledged that this year that heritage got them to where they are but they need to modernise. So hopefully things will change in the coming years 🤞
They’ve got to bring back pay per ride this park has been terrible since as those ticketing prices suck! Pay per ride really benefited this park but now the new ownership and everything sucks in my own opinion
They can't allow people to enter and walk around. They're under police orders, because drunken football fans would often show up and be a nuisance. Which was especially off putting to families with young children.
So lovely to see you having fun with your girls! ❤
Thank you. Were a crazy bunch 😂
Even we looked bored on the train behind you 😂. See what I mean about the dinosaurs etc. needs some TLC
Yup 😂
Love the friendship between you and TPI. Two great channels
Thank you. He’s always up for a laugh 😉
3:30 - Get a physical printout made in the Wallace and Gromit shop. Much easier to scan than using your phone.
Yeah you can. The new scanner seem to make a huge difference.

Ha ha. I mean little did I know when Joe nicked mu camera that I would be getting dressed so I almost did streak 😂
@ That’s true mate 😂, you almost foreseen the future 😂🫣👍
The valhalla part had me 🤣🤣🤣 Joe stealing your camera 🤣🤣
Proves what I tell everyone though, you still get soaked even with a poncho on valhalla, but hey that's the fun of the ride.
Ha ha yeah I wanna blame Joe but it didn’t take much convincing to be fair 😂
@edmundandlucy might get wet but it's some darkride tbf 😊
Loved this. I haven't visited this season. Weather and days off haven't matched but I've lived vivacious through you and the parks this year x
Hopefully you get to visit next year 😀
1.29 We are in the background, my Son noticed you and also we saw you on the M55. Was a great day, we've had a few bad visits over the past few months, was nice to finally have a good day. Just uploaded our video of our day.
We're glad to see you and yours have a good final day for the season Chris 😊
Cheers mate. Hope you’re both well
It's fun coming along virtually with you for the closing day of Pleasure Beach Resort for the end of the season, love your content buddy.
Cheers mate. Hope you’re well 😀
Sunday afternoon viewing can't beat it ❤
Thank you. Hope you enjoyed 😀
Chris you can blame me for the Valhalla ride. I dragged Joe, and Joe dragged you 🤣
Ha ha. Was a good laugh 😂
Great video thanks again Chris and nice to see Joe 👍
Thank you. 😀
i was there lookin for you but didn't see you aha , good day though , glad you had good time
Ah damn. Hopefully bump in to you next season 😀
@@coaster_dadyh on a gyro swing hopefully
Would love a video with you and joe. Regardless, great video Chris.
Blackpool hopefully increases ride count next year with river cases and also ice blast. Also hope new effects on ghost train.
Don’t worry Joe and I are planning to team up next year 😉
@coaster_dad that's awesome. Can you do a London cluster vlog one day. Would recommend the bridge experience. Permanent scare maze!
Emergency Feed!😂😂😂

Went on the Dora ride yesterday. Had kids looking at me all because i was singing along to the music😂
😂
8:10 BPB does NOT need another family coaster
Yeah I’d rather it was something else. But we’ll see
@TashedBrit wild moose by rmc family ride would be the beeknees to be honest 😉 ps if u no u no
I thought that operations were first class yesterday. Apart from the Big One they kept the rides open later than 4pm in South Park too we went on Avalanche at 4.20pm and Icon was still open.

Aye staff were great yesterday. Big one was mainly down to the single train. Think it was a bit daft putting two in maintenance so early 🙈
@@coaster_dad It was very risky on their signature ride but thankfully paid off. Really enjoyed the vlog we saw you in the park but didn't want to disturb you as you were filming. Looking forward to the new season and hopefully it will be with the River Caves and Ice Blast open.
Yeah I did think it would have made sense to only remove one train so it could still run on two! If you see me again don’t worry about interrupting 😀
firework show was better than expected! noticed myself behind you after avatar but couldn't say hi 😭 hope the 2025 season is better than this one atleast
Agreed. Hopefully bump into you next season 😀
The park needs to get an investor on board to get the whole park back to its glory days.
It’s definitely gonna take a chunk of cash that’s for sure
Loved the video and your channel Chris! Do you ever do like group fan meet ups at parks? From a fellow Scot! Wish M&Ds wasnt rubbish as would have been a good location!

@coaster_dad Ah cool no problem mate! Will keep an eye out for you when I visit parks and who knows might bump into you!
@coaster_dad Pardon my ignorance as well but what ever happened of the Flamingo Land in Scotland they were planning on?
@ massively rejected by locals. So as far as I’m aware it’s completely scrapped. Unless they come back with an alternative plan
Be nice see a dark ride back in old space invaders place
Aye it would
10:45 is the reason I’ll never get the train cred, it’s boring, even Chris is falling asleep on it and he actively likes it 😭
😂
The park is looking tired, I think that if she wants to start branding it as a resort then she really needs to invest the money into the park.

I want to go to bpb soon i hope i can next year 🙏

Just brought an annual pass in the christmas sale and saw walk the woodie is back next year between may and June didnt know if you had saw it yet.
Oooooo. Thanks for the heads up
when i was there icon was closed both days
😔
So nice to finally meet you on Alice yesterday
Thank you 🙏
Black Friday platinum pass is reduced to £125 until 3rd December
Yeah someone told me the code 🙂

There’s a lot riding on their next few moves so I’ve got my fingers crossed they do reverse the trend 🤞

Yeah understandable.
I Think Blackpool Has A Good Future If they Remove infusion. What Is The Best Ride At Blackpool
Am calling it now wild moose to Blackpool to replace wild mouse first rmc or first wild moose 🤔
Would be interesting. I’ve heard a few people say that current safety regulations in the UK won’t allow RMC restraints so it would either need some regs to be changed or some custom restraints.

@Tripster_2011 nah RMC are very weird, they have annoying leg restraints etc. Hopefully we get one soon though, the UK needs one.
@@coaster_dad oh aye ad be the first to book a family holiday for the " family " 😂 as in the coaster don't think a hate ma family mate just a joke 🤣
did you by chance bump into sean? - i can see a he's posted a last day vlog as well
I saw him from a distance but didn’t actually bump in to him. In fact at the start of our vlogs you can see him behind me in mine and me in front of him in his 😂
Better 2025 Season Hopefully
Agreed!

Absolute rubbish, only thing you got right is about icon.
What is the first day where icon is open in 2025?

The code (BF125) was only sent to those on the mailing list from what I could see.
