Ched Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have just popped round to the Pleasure Beach and spoke to one of Contractors and he says that the Press are due on Tuesday 1st May and the ride 'should' be open to the public on the 2nd May (Wednesday). They are currently finishing off the walkways and testing the water jets, and are filling up the water below Infusion. I for one will be there first thing on Wednesday Morning. Hope it is open. I have been looking forward to riding this since I had my last ride on the log fume the day it closed. Well at the time I didnt realise the 'new' ride was coming from Southport, but it still looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragon Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 they have water jets? Do they actually get you wet while riding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ched Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 They have 2 sets of jets. One set is at the bottom of the first drop shooting up from the lake, the second set sort of squirt up and out in the middle of a horizontal loop. I dont think you will get wet but it looks close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Horizontal loop? Water jets? What is this "infusion" you speak of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ched Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Its a Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster that was in Southport-UK and has been moved, painted, new cars and a new theme to Pleasure Beach Blackpool. It is due to open very soon, it is entirely over water and has water jets shooting up after the first drop and other jets fire up and in on a horizontal turn (sorry not really a loop). I dont think you will get wet but if its a bit windy you might. This site looks a bit naff at the moment but it seems to be a Pleasure Beach site. www.rideinfusion.com I live round the corner so I will keep trying to get on it and give an update as soon as I know its open.

Swimace Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 ^Wow, they hyped it up like it was one of the world's greatest rides or something, that woman was terrified! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Ha, that's hilarious. I'm impressed though. The pov looks like it's pretty smooth. The reporter's head didn't move too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 OK, I'm not sure which thing I should laugh harder at... "The tallest and fastest in the UK..." "OoOoOoOo I DON'T LIKE IT!!!" or... "I'm more of a horse carousel type of girl." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Perhaps they meant its the tallest and fastest suspended ride over water in England? Idiots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manchester Man Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I Wasnt that impressed with Infusion, been on it a few times. BPB has also hyped it beyond all belief (which is nothing new for them, PMBO is still referred to as "tallest & fastest in Europe"). It also Looks like the £8 million that they spent on it includes £5 million it cost new in 1999. They should have kept the Log Flume that was one of the best rides in the park.
