As usual another funny and informative and thought provoking,thanks to you Scott, Mike and Jimmy for letting me tag along,always brings a smile when thinking about the River Caves ride that day ,look forward to seeing again and looking forward to another enjoyable vlog🙂
I was at Pleasure beach on a Monday and it was packed, kids from school trips spending 30 quid each on Speedy Passes, all the queues were spilling out on to the pathways, still got on 11 rides! That is unheard of at some of the Merlin parks. Also Big One was running 3 trains even though they only opened it for the last 40 mins, a lot of parks wouldn't even bother opening it. Loved every single ride I went on and for them reasons it is now my favorite UK Theme Park. Pleasure Beach is seriously underrated and I really hope they have a good rest of their summer!
I went couple weeks ago on a hot Saturday and got on everything I wanted and some rerides! I had a go on Enso seat was an experience and a half, but don’t think I would pay that much when I get to the park again! I didn’t see anyone on the Enso seats when ever I seen it going! Do I think they need to sort something out with it.
Hello again Scott and Mike I forgot to say pleasure Beach should think about doing what alton towers do show your tickets at the entrance then just go to any ride with no scanning if they don't do wristbands again Thanks
Same as mike was saying as a season pass holder not fussed about lap after lap on the rides as i know will be back soon enough to ride again.definitely a worry seeing it so quiet most sundays we are there.great gesture about honouring the tickets for the sunday after..towers should maybe take a leaf out of bpb book on looking after customers like that..wont go into details on here but our last days visit there last week left a sour taste in our mouth...your vlogs are the best on youtube guys as always.always genuine and definitely funny
The nick streak has parts you can see when on the ice blast 2 seats facing vallhalla look abit to the right of lokis apres ski and behind and you can see the parts
I remember how busy it was in the 90’s. Great memories. A small change they could implement- adopt the Merlin pass way of paying per month. You could attract families who can’t afford £800 outlay at once, by spreading payments over the year. Throw in a few perks and I’d sign my three up!
Today we took my parents to Blackpool Zoo and with our Season Passes they got in for half price. It would be great to see Pleasure Beach do something similar with their Season Passes, that would be a good start.
Rev never has a queue whenever I go! I agree with Mike, those stairs are a killer 😮💨 Had no idea you paid to go on Enzo! 😮 Love to see you both back at PB ❤
It was really busy at end of June 26th there was 3 Scottish schools so it was packed. Icon que was right up to the icon shop and only one train was on I only just got on Valhalla, Nickelodeon streek was the same. The big one was off due to high winds
I agree with you both guys, wouldn't pay £15 for a seat on a rollercoaster. In terms of the "free" entry thing, I think they should bring a cheaper afternoon ticket price structure in the future but definitely steer away from free entry.
Enjoyed the vlog lads, we have been to Blackpool on a couple of occasions this year. The South Pier was absolutely heaving with people, yet the Pleasure Beach was quiet. Think they must consider non rider entry so the whole family can spend the day together
What is the first ride you are on please? Also, what is the fot like on W & G ride? Any chance of a plus size fitting next to a child on W&G or ghost ride?
The first ride is the pleasure beach express!! Its quite nice as a tour around the pleasure beach but it opens at 12 so you would have to wait if you were starting with it
great video (again) We, as a family are planing a visit between july and september. Could you possibly tell us what rides will be open (r more importantly, what ride will NOT) during this time? We are an old school pleasure beach family, so the old school coaster rides and dark/pretzel rides are most important to us. Any info you can help with will be GREATLY appreciated many thanks in advance EDIT: obviously weather cannot be predicted/factored into ur answer
Hello Scott and Mike Pleasure beach should bring back wristbands as mobile and card scans don't really work They say no filming on rides but you have to scan your phone To get on the rides If cards get wet then they don't scan then it's back to customer services to issue another one So Pleasure Beach should bring back wristbands then you can't loose it So I think that next season Pleasure Beach should definitely bring back wristbands Scott Thanks for your latest Pleasure Beach video
Agreed. I don’t like having to mess around with my phone on every ride to find the e-ticket. Wristbands are just quick and easy. Either bring back wristbands or remove the ticket scanners
AS A RIDE OPERATOR, I WOULD GET RID OF ALL TICKETS, YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH SECURITY TO GET ON THE PARK, SO YOU HAVE PAID, WRISTBANDS SEEM TO WEAR OUT EASY FOR SCANNING PURPOSES.
As a consultant, my last visit was filled with missed opportunities and poor service. I think they have missed a whole lot of tricks. Would be happy to go in to more detail.
Hi Guys great vlog , its sad to see Blackpool pleasure beach so quiet , i can remember when the Pleasure beach would get 6 million visitors a year , i wonder how many it got last year ? They need to go back to non rider pass , i would say £10 would be fair and get rid of digital pass , its a pain in the ass , things need to change or BP will lose money and end up like Pleasureland Southport.
A BIG POINT ABOUT TURNING UP ON THE DAY IT IS £50 AND £40 FOR KIDS SO UNLESS IT IS BRILLIANT WEATHER WHY WOULD YOU SUDDENLY GO? IT IS LIKE LAST WEEK I WAS WORKING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ONE DAY WAS LOVELY ONE WAS RAINING ALL DAY I FEEL SORRY FOR THE ONES WHO HAVE SCHOOL TRIPS FROM SCOTLAND THEN IT IS BAD WEATHER AND LOADS OF RIDES ARE NOT ON.
Excellent vlog lads. Always very interesting your opinions on the pleasure beach. Quite frightening how quiet it looked. I currently work for a showman family at weekends and sadly we have been very quiet 🤷🏻♂️. Are people who do have spare cash choosing to spend it differently and not on trips out to Amusement parks & Funfairs. 🤷🏻♂️
It could be that amusement parks are not getting the attention now abroad travel doesn’t have all the testing to go with it. A lot of airlines made their vouchers valid up to 2023/4.
I also work for my local council on worden park in Leyland. Weekends & half terms it’s hammered. All day parking is free. Families bring a picnic with and throw the kids on the playground. Day of entertainment for next to no money.
Good to see you & Mike at BPB there Scott giving your thoughts about it , but funny enough Slothy Vlogs was there last week and just upload a vlog too Scott - nice 1 👍
Having been there last week. My main complaint is the short opening hours for many of the rides. Also, the ride experience on Grand National is unacceptably bad. They need to close it for a season so it can be re-tracked. Also, got screwed over again by not having The Big One open due to high winds.
@@yourexperienceguide It's the same thing when it comes to ticket prices. Sure, the regulars and people who live a stones throw away from the park are going to me more impacted by high prices, but from a selfish perspective I'd rather parks charge through the nose for admission, because it would deter the likes of you from coming more often. Allowing me to get more rides in.
Enjoying your content a lot this season with a lot of decent points made and very balanced opinions. Seen a lot of comments about how quiet the park has been this season, I do wonder/hope they turn a profit because of they don’t it won’t be sustainable and we all know what that means……
I am heading there this coming Sun ( 9th ) for a solo day out. ( Wife not interested ) Was thinking about getting the vip speedy pass but not sure if I will need it. Its my first time at the P beach in years so want to hit all the coasters as many times as posable.
IF YOU GET ONE THERE IS NO SPEEDY PASS ON AVALANCHE, AND ICON SPEDDY PASS ENTRANCE IS OTHER END OF PARK TO ICON IN NORTH, NEAR GRAND PRIX THEN YOU WALK BACK ALONG SIDE ICON.
@@grant666uk THATS OK I WORK THERE AND THAT IS TWO OF THE MOST ASKED QUESTIONS, WHERE IS SPEEDY PASS ON AVALANCHE? AND HOW DO I GET TO ICON SPEEDY PASS UNFORTUNATELY OUR OWNER DOESN'T LIKE SIGNS SO WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME NEAR MY RIDE, THERE ISN'T ANY, JUST A MAP NEAR THE TRAIN.
A IMPORTANT MESSAGE ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY 10TH/11TH AND 17TH/18TH IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE KIDS ONLY WHERE WE GET ABOUT 9,000/10,000 KIDS A DAY, BUT ON THE BOOKING WEBSITE IT IS STILL LETTING PEOPLE BOOK ON ONE OF THOSE PARINGS.
@@yourexperienceguide I was down yesterday and it was soul destroying seeing Enso go round empty 95% of the time while the que was well past the gift shop for half the day! I had to purchase Speedy pass for the family for the first time ever at a theme park as no way was i waiting hours to get on Icon or any ride that is. Place was rammed and Enso was empty! Maybe its time for it to go?
@@yourexperienceguide yeah that's the only thing that is stopping me from getting to Blackpool the other thing even though you said in the video is the advertising, it maybe be on Facebook but when I turn my tv on I will see even just 5 times a year an alton towers/ Thorpe park ad Blackpool really need to be getting up there on the advert
I will give you a solution.. Open 12 until 10pm. 30 quid adults 15 quid kids. Fireworks every Friday and Saturday throughout the school holidays. Place would be buzzing again.
@@yourexperienceguide You are speaking to an accountant Scott. Lol... The footfall would be there. Make money on food and drink. It needs something. Like you I love the place and it needs change drastically.
If it continues as it is I recon 6 years tops and the place will be closed.. People haven't got 500 quid for a day out in Blackpool with the kids. So budget prices is the only solution.
The same argument with Enzo could be used for the entrance price. Surely more people paying say £25 is better than less paying more than £30. Maybe? 🤷♂️
@@yourexperienceguide Definitely, there's more to do in Blackpool for £40 or even less. Things are tight and I know they have to try and make money back, but like your video shows the place is dead. We will see I suppose 👍🏻
The pleasure beach needs some new rides everybody loves the pleasure beach but it’s nowhere near the level of Alton towers or Thorpe park it needs a new coaster big ones old now infusion is falling apart there’s only really icon what’s worth going on
If was free entry or £5.00 wood not be too bad you say that they don't have the money to build new rides but if B.P.B let people back in free or maybe £5.00 people wood spend more on merchandise food drinks which wood make more money and look bizzer
WHEN ALL THESE KIDS COME HERE WILL THEY ALL HAVE BANK CARDS TO PAY THE £5 EACH IT IS CASHLESS REMEMBER ( WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE) KIDS GET SPENDING MONEY TO FIND IT CASHLESS.
As usual another funny and informative and thought provoking,thanks to you Scott, Mike and Jimmy for letting me tag along,always brings a smile when thinking about the River Caves ride that day ,look forward to seeing again and looking forward to another enjoyable vlog🙂
River Caves was a joke but a highlight at the same time 😂
Can't wait to get here in the summer with the family for the first time. Speedy passes booked, can't wait to try icon and the big one!
Have a great day
Absolutely amazing vlog as always! Super enjoyable, thanks for continuing to make really good videos!!

The Big One hasn’t run on 3 trains with guests on it since 2001.

It’s a great experience but don’t often see many using it
Great vlog lads. Totally agree with the points you've made. It's sad to see the park this quiet. Hopefully it'll pick up soon once schools are out. 👍
Thank you!

I would support this
Season pass such good value
Printed off card to get discounts
That chicken is great
Passes are good value
Today we took my parents to Blackpool Zoo and with our Season Passes they got in for half price. It would be great to see Pleasure Beach do something similar with their Season Passes, that would be a good start.
It’s a shame all the Blackpool attractions don’t partner on offers in a time when everyone is struggling
Rev never has a queue whenever I go! I agree with Mike, those stairs are a killer 😮💨 Had no idea you paid to go on Enzo! 😮 Love to see you both back at PB ❤
Thank you, it was good to be back 🎢
Hello i went on sunday didnt see you but i went on enso for the first time it was well good i love it when it dose a roll back
Hope you had a good time
good vlog i went last thursday an had a great time vallhalla was the best ride of day for me !
Glad you had a good trip
Great PB July update
Thank you
Brilliant vlog
Thank you
Great energy on this vlog, guys! I’m finally getting my go on Valhalla a week Friday! 😅
Have a great day there 😄
Another great vlog guys .genuine group and never fail to deliver 🎉

It was really busy at end of June 26th there was 3 Scottish schools so it was packed. Icon que was right up to the icon shop and only one train was on I only just got on Valhalla, Nickelodeon streek was the same. The big one was off due to high winds
Sadly with low capacity and ride closures, it’ll always feel busier
Good blog guys👍
Thank you
I was there on that day and i saw you guys! I didnt go on many exciting rides because i cant handle them 😅😅
Hope you had a good day
@@yourexperienceguide yeah it was great!

Mad thing is they sometimes do it but don’t really shout about it
Do you have to pay for every ride or just pay entry to the park .
JUST ENTRANCE FEE
Pay one price since 2020
So last year big dipper felt like a car crash, just got off it and can't believe how well it rode , the team have done a brilliant job
They’ve done a great job 😀
Great vlog guys. There’s a cost of living crisis and people are having to make tough choices.
BPB should consider offering some cheaper deals to draw people in
Enjoyed the vlog lads, we have been to Blackpool on a couple of occasions this year. The South Pier was absolutely heaving with people, yet the Pleasure Beach was quiet. Think they must consider non rider entry so the whole family can spend the day together
We found it to be like this in May, Blackpool was rammed but BPB was very quiet
Thought Nash was really alright this week, no headache
also that may or may not be me behind Jimmy in Icon's queue 🤭
Hope you had a good day 😁
Great vlog chaps can’t believe Icon is 5 years old 😳🤯🤯🤯🧱👍🏼
Crazy isn’t it?
Great vlog. I'm a mess though. Had a great day
Only me that’s the mess

We did a plus size guide video here ➡️
th-cam.com/video/OdyRsnK2hBM/w-d-xo.html
Can u do a video on what it would take for pleasure beach to go back to free entry ?
Been giving it some thought
Did you not make a vlog when you were here FRIDAY I saw you go to the BIG ONE when I was training on GALLOPERS
No vlog on Friday, we popped in after a business meeting 🤐
great video (again)
We, as a family are planing a visit between july and september. Could you possibly tell us what rides will be open (r more importantly, what ride will NOT) during this time?
We are an old school pleasure beach family, so the old school coaster rides and dark/pretzel rides are most important to us.

Hey Simon, thank you for watching and commenting
I’m sure they still do wristbands unless they’ve just changed it, I was there at the end of June with the school and we had the wristbands 🤔
@@chloet777 It’s e-tickets now not wristbands
Tell me when the quiet days are please Swear we come down from Scotland past few years we’ve picked the busiest days every time 🤦🏻♂️
Most days this season

@@Mitjitsu I’ve got a season pass, rising the price of entry isn’t impacting on how often I can visit so I’m not sure I get your point 😅
Hot take: Tear it down and rebuild it. Same layout and everything. I know I know never gonna happen but I feel like smoother carriages won't do much
I was at BPB a few weeks ago and the national was far from smooth.
It is nearly 100

How do you go about getting a paper ticket?
You can get one at guest services or in the shop by Wallace & Gromit
@@yourexperienceguide Thank you , I’m going tomorrow so I’ll be doing this as I hate the e tickets

Entry pass and unlimited rides worked really well

Should be a 15-20 quid upcharge on your full day ticket if you want to ride Enso all day.
Only concern would be everyone trying to use it, two seats isn’t a lot to cope with 100s going on

@@yourexperienceguide Enjoyed it. Hopefully big one open next time.
I Think Blackpool its just really hard to get to, that's the only problem for me. I will go here stead of alton to see what its like
Literally one of the easiest places in the UK to reach. It has 3 railway stations and is straight off the motorway.
@@yourexperienceguide the railway costs more money alone from my location that to get to Phantasialand 😭
@@Competent-rides I never said it was cheap lol

I will give you a solution.. Open 12 until 10pm. 30 quid adults 15 quid kids. Fireworks every Friday and Saturday throughout the school holidays. Place would be buzzing again.
Just a question of; would those prices cover their high running costs?

@@manchester1972 Accountant you say? Literally the kind of person I need to speak to 🤔
@@yourexperienceguide Anytime mate..
Free entry, please. I've not been since 2006ish and I'd quite like to ride Icon!
Worth getting an e ticket and riding everything?
Thanks guys, great vlog. I expect the fact we are in a recession impacts numbers
Thank you, and agreed
We not been since no free entry.
😮
As far as I'm concerned; both Rev & Icon/Enso both have one inversion.
Rev definitely just once
personally I think ENSO should be a case of you pay once and get to ride it free for the rest of the day
Think they’d end up with too many trying to do it then
I think its just pricing and faff with the ticket situation, people just want an easy day out.
Pricing is definitely a factor
Coincidentally I came here today
Good day?
@@yourexperienceguide Yeah, awesome
The same argument with Enzo could be used for the entrance price. Surely more people paying say £25 is better than less paying more than £30.
Maybe? 🤷♂️
I basically said that in our ‘free entry’ video a month or 2 ago, no point having the price so high that only a handful are prepared to pay it
Yeah, I understand that people need to cover their own costs but I do think the entry price without a walk round pass might be putting people off
@@yourexperienceguide Definitely, there's more to do in Blackpool for £40 or even less. Things are tight and I know they have to try and make money back, but like your video shows the place is dead. We will see I suppose 👍🏻
The pleasure beach needs some new rides everybody loves the pleasure beach but it’s nowhere near the level of Alton towers or Thorpe park it needs a new coaster big ones old now infusion is falling apart there’s only really icon what’s worth going on
BPB & Alton Towers both opened new coasters in the same year in 2018, so does Towers need new rides too?
BIG DIPPER TESTING IT WITH STAFF MEMBERS ONLY ON WEDNESDAY AFTER PB CLOSES FOR THE DAY.
Opens at the weekend I believe
Bro you called it nickelodeon street
Who’s bro? 🤷🏻♂️
If was free entry or £5.00 wood not be too bad you say that they don't have the money to build new rides but if B.P.B let people back in free or maybe £5.00 people wood spend more on merchandise food drinks which wood make more money and look bizzer
Thank you for watching
Merlin would buy it though it wouldn't become tesco
