broomy Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Great news for blackpool, explains why this year they only spent 3.5 million So do we think it's safe to say rollercoaster, frog hopper, log flume, magic mountain and zipper dipper will be the 5 re-themed rides?

Fallen Heretic Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I though Magic Mountain would become the Dora dark ride, but its not listed as a re-themed ride. Is that last map anywhere near accurate? It shows Dora in a completely different area and the Bus tour thing being where Magic Mountain is. Looks like this wont play out like I originaly thought. It almost Implies that Dora will be a boat ride as well. It does say 'sail around the world'. Wild speculation abound! I love dark rides, so Im looking forward to see what they do with it. And I say again that I love RollerCoaster having a future. Its the most re-ridable coaster in the park IMO as well as being fun. EDIT: because i didnt look at that last map properly before I posted.

LoopLover Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 It's good that the park is being refreshed! I am so excited about getting a Hug from Spongebob instead of Mr Beaver! This will make kiddies happier in the park also, so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoopLover Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The Avatar Airbender looks great! I wonder if it will be on the thrill rides list. These are such fun rides, I love the one at Flamingoland. Is this version smaller because it's in the kids area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoopLover Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Great! The best thing about these Disko rides are the restraints, they make you feel like you are flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 ^Interesting...I really don't care for Disk'o restraints. (Assuming they're the same on all installations.) They hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopLover Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 ^ I can definitely see what you mean! They do hurt quite a bit, more afterwards, but the sensation is heightened by your body position. It's similar on Velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn54 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) From The Pleasure Beach website The Promo Image WILL YOU FIND LOVE ON A ROLLERCOASTER? The wedding of the century is only a few weeks away and to celebrate this, Pleasure Beach, Blackpool is about to launch 2 new trains on the world famous Pepsi Max Big One bearing the names William and Kate alongside brand new Union Jack livery. In addition we are looking for 15 Williams and 15 Kates to be the first to try out the new trains and potentially find love at the same time by speed dating whilst riding the rollercoaster! If you are a William or a Kate and would like to join us at Pleasure Beach at 10am on Wednesday 9th February, to take part in this exciting event, contact us via our Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/pleasurebeachresort and complete the entry form. The 2 new Union Jack trains, which are to be christened William and Kate, were inspired by Prince William’s visit to Blackpool in November last year. During his visit he enjoyed such thrilling rides as the Ice Blast and Infusion. Amanda Thompson, Managing Director of Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, comments, “We were delighted to be able to welcome Prince William and his friends to Pleasure Beach last year. We decided to commemorate his visit by naming the new trains after him and his wife to be, Kate Middleton. The Royal couple will be more than welcome to come and try out the trains for themselves” Pleasure Beach, Blackpool will open its gates for the first time in 2011 on Saturday February 12th 10.00am for the first, fantastic WOW Weekend. WOW Weekends kick off on 12th & 13th February and run up to the weekend of 2nd and 3rd April. On these special days, visitors can save £10 off a wristband if booked online in advance. Adult wristbands are £32 on the gate and an amazing £22 if booked online. Junior and senior wristbands are £27 on the gate and £17 if booked online.

SharkTums Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 ^Are they 'new' or just rehabbed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 ^Now the question is, are these really new trains, or just newly wrapped trains? They look exactly the same, minus the new decal/wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn54 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 ^Are they 'new' or just rehabbed? They are two new trains as the old ones were not in the best state. They are only getting two which rules out any chances of 3 train operation now. They are/have been built in house due to the last time they bought trains from another company. Also the pay booths from the ride have been removed and the ride has been repainted. Hope that clears a few things up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
