LoopLover Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) On Tuesday I visited Blackpool Pleasure Beach with my school. We had a great day and were all shattered by the time we got home! It was a lovely day and all of the rides were open apart from the "Gold Mine" which I guess isn't opening again any time soon as it was closed when I visited two years ago. The reason that this is very much a mini report is that my friends wanted me to be sociable and not take pictures all day, I agreed! However, I did get on a few rides but was forced into holding bags a few times. The park is looking really good with the addition of Nickelodeon Land and it seemed a lot cleaner contrasting to my last visit. So enjoy the pictures that I took and feel free to comment and discuss ADMIN EDIT: I went ahead and added "Photo TR:" to the title of the thread. Thanks for sharing this with us! The park entrance...replacing the old entrance area under the ark....We were in a terrible rush to get in! The Infusion track in the morning sunlight with The Big One in the background....That is just shouting out ride me!! Lovely Vekoma twisting! Swoop! The Big One! Only got on once but it's always brill! Nothing's ever too high!...... The new Nick Land! This sign is on the side of the old Space Invader 2 building! "Blue Flyer" is the newly painted "Zipper Dipper" kiddie woodie! Didn't get a chance to ride. The kiddie Log Flume is now Rugrats themed! Had to ride it! Spongebob's Splash Bash sits close to where the "Tetley Tea Cups" were... The whole place is so much brighter and fresher now! Noted! New funky theming on the Log Flume! Rugrat style! Replacing the "Rollercoaster" is Nickelodeon Streak....So awesome and bright! And possibly the coolest shop EVER! So much Sponge! Robyn wouldn't leave without the guitar! New trains on Nick Streak! My favourite shot. A tribute to a great ride and tagada! And we closed the day with lots and lots of water!

mattnz Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The Nickelodeon Streak train looks awesome! It's good to see an old ride get refurbished/made-over. How does it ride now? Looks like a nice day in Blackpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopLover Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well it still rides Rough...Very rough! But the new trains are really comfortable and are very eye friendly. It looks like a new coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The SETGO Guys Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 The new area looks great! I'm not a Nick fan, (out of all of them I like some of the older Spongebob). How does ticketing work at the park? Great PTR! -Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 How does ticketing work at the park? Blackpool Pleasure Beach work on a wristband system. You have to buy either a wristband or a pleasure beach pass to enter the park. If you only buy a pleasure beach pass you will only be allowed to ride the train and use the chinese maze. They did for a while do a Nickelodeon Land only wristband but I am not sure if they do that anymore. -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopLover Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 The park used to have a free entrance policy where you basically got into the park for free but once inside everything was expensive! The Pleasure Beach used to charge different prices for different rides and I believe that a ride on "The Big One" cost around £4. The Pleasure Beach then had a deal where you could still enter free but either purchased an unlimited ride wristband or individual tokens once inside to get on rides. Now, The park charges everyone to get inside. You can either purchase an unlimited ride wristband which gives you entry to all rides and attractions including Nick Land or you can purchase a £5 ticket which allows you to ride the Pleasure Beach Express and walk around the park. Wristbands are around £22 online and closer to £30 at the gate! So purchase online for a great discount! The park also has the obvious "Season Pass" and sell tickets for surrounding attractions including "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" and the "Horror Crypt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
