TPDave Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yeah i don't think it'll be replaced. Theres not much that they could put there and another booster would be pointless (why would they put a new booster there? I'm so stupid :S). The capacity was rubbish and as Ed said, the queue wasn't the safest thing on a busy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster-inc Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 i know what rides could be good for that area but very unlikly unfortunatly... get either a Twisted Impulse Coaster or a boomerang that has the cobra going ofer the bridge... i know the queues were horendous on busy days, but if a hoger capacity rides was placed and a deffo extenstion to the queue line up top...... also and update... loads has happened since the last, got tonnes of concret up and more of those posts, im not sure whats happening with big dippers curve... big one has now been closed ready for the dismantle of the supports, also spin doctors armless and roller caosters getting a bit of work done as well...

Nemesis Inferno Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Looked at the article, and noticed this Infusion will add to the amusement park's other whiteknuckle rides including the Iron Brew Revolution, opened in 1979, the Pepsi Max Big One, unveiled in 1994, the Ice Blast, opened in 1998, and the Valhalla from 2000. What's the Iron Brew? And finally, little similarity to Traumatizer, more like it's so similar, it's like looking into a blue mirror ...

coaster-inc Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 iron brew = the sponsorship of the revolution coaster little simularity to traumatizer = IT IS TRAUMATIZER!!! its just been moved, re-painted, re-named and re-themed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Inferno Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 ^That's incorrect, the sponser of the BPB Revolution is IRN-BRU, not 'Iron Brew'... Secondly, I think I realise that, considering I put looking into a blue mirror... Jokes eh?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallen Heretic Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 LOL. OK, this is going to be one of the most anal posts Ive ever made, but here goes... Really, its branded Irn_bru, which used to be Iron Brew, but really, its sponsored by A. G. Barr, who make Irn-Bru. OK, so do i get punched now? lol. They have been looking for someone to buy Spin Doctor for a while, i reckon. I also heard rumor that they were having problems with the sea salt blowing in and attacking it. I rode it once. Seemed better than other boosters as its so close to the bridge which gave it great visual. It did take an age to load up though. I wont be sorry to see it go.

Ed Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Spin Doctor is moving to one of the Piers. So the sea air rumour is just bullpoo. Blackpool have become very lazy with their rides lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster-inc Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 RIGHT, i have got the biggest update to date today, and wow, so cool... we have got some more muddy floor work with loads more concrete posts, lodes of reinforcement rods and stuff, more mud, some holes... BIG ONES BEEN TAKEN APART DUE TO NOT FITTING!?!? AND WHAT YOUVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR WE HAVE BLUE TRACK and yeah is the sparkling lake they were on about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 At last PMBO is to be taken down Nice paint job, shame about the ride though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Theyre changing it (PMB1) again , theyre proberbly going to place it on the other side of the big hill which will be cool, means we might have a head chopper on the first drop There making a lot of fuss for this ride arn't they, would of been cheaper and better just to build a new ride! I doubt Spin Doctor will be replaced by anything. Thats a shame, they've lost yet another spin ride, they only have a few left now (Trama towers and bling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Spin Doctor didn't exactly spin though... It was terrible compared to most fairground Boosters. Also PMBO is not being moved..... Lord give me strength. The supports are being modified so Infusion can be put in. It was always planned this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xme3 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 that trak is SOOOOOO blue, I have a headache just from the color. But it is nice to start seeing some things take shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bk1870 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 WHOA! When did this happen? And an SLC will fit in the area where the log flum used to be? Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised hence it being Blackpool. That place looks crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adc9787 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 It amazes me how crowded with rides this park is... yet can someone explain to me how they can plan a ride and have problems with it fitting... I thought they took EXTREMELY detailed measurements. Also, how would they change PMBO... and for that matter, can someone tell me what exactly was done and why to on the first reprofile. (Just a little curious) -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan King Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Damnit. I was hoping to see the SLC be the same color as PMBO...*sigh* oh well. I thought it wouldve been cool to have it look like all one interconnected coaster... -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster-inc Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 its the pleasure beach, that's all that needs to be said due to their stupidity, i mean would YOU really want to alter 3 RIDES!?!? (big dipper, train, PMBO) just to get another to fit....? big ones just having a support change, cant see anything happening to the track layout, and the first change was of the drop and turn around, just to make it a smoother flowing drop and a faster turn i think, might be wrong...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 ^ Exactly right. The first drop was very sharp when it opened and the turn around used to be too slow. Blackpool have always known since planning Infusion they would need to move the railway, and modify the Big Ones supports. Why does everyone assume all this is last-minute work? =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adc9787 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Thank you for all your answers... and I also didn;t know that they had all the support changes planned out. That makes everything seem right. I believe that the ride will look really cool right next to PMBO. -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 It hasn't been confirmed that Spin Doctor is going, and if you look on the parks website, they've updates their "thrill rides" with Infusion, and Spin Doctor is still on the list.........

DATman Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 ^^We really appreciate that you've joined the boards! Just make sure you check out our rules posted at the top of each forum section. Especially the two that seem to be the most trouble for peole on the internet: 3. SPELL CHECK YOUR POSTS!!!! There is a completely FREE spell checker available with the Google toolbar. A typo here and there is completely acceptable. We all are guilty of this. But when someone can't READ your post due to bad spelling, grammar, lack of capitalization, all caps (in posts OR thread titles) etc, that's a problem. If you aren't a good speller (and I totally admit I would be lost without my spellchecker) download it now: http://toolbar.google.com/ 4. Do NOT use "text message shorthand" - Use the proper English and complete spelling of words. Do not shorten "you" to "u", etc. You're not messaging on a cell phone, you're typing on a computer. You have a full sized keyboard in front of you - USE IT! (The most common uses like LOL, WTF, are ok....but none of this "l33tOMG111" whatever speak!)

eddiemufc Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 oh right sorry il remember that for next time but how come there are only 5 loops and twists in infusion then instead of 8?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
