A.J. 36 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Maybe the Big One had the same sort of re-tracking done to some of the sections of Steel Phantom/Phantom's Revenge? You know, having Morgan come in, etc etc... Link to post Share on other sites

COASTER FREAK 11 5 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) The first drop has been re-profiled a few times, and the track came from these re-profiles. Edited December 1, 2011 by COASTER FREAK 11 Link to post Share on other sites
larrygator 7 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) ^thanks Chris - I was going back through the thread and just saw that Robb had posted that the track was from the first drop about 3 pages ago. Don't know how I missed Robb's comment the first time. Edited December 1, 2011 by larrygator Link to post Share on other sites

Popcorn54 0 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 For those interested, it looks like the PMBO Track has been Removed! Photos from Pleasure Beach experience. Link to post Share on other sites
COASTER FREAK 11 5 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Are there normally silver tarps covering the track, or are they just there for construction? I haven't been on the ride since 2006, I don't remember. Link to post Share on other sites
Fallen Heretic 0 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think those tarps are what black-out the reverse drop section. There are coverings over various parts of the track (should I call it the trough?) to make it light-tight. Link to post Share on other sites
TPDave 0 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It would be a shame to see that track go. It was a very quirky little fanboy feature about the ride and the park that I liked a lot. Link to post Share on other sites

niiicolaaah 0 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I think it would be hilarious if they used the track to begin with to be cheap, and then the track was giving out and that's why they had to rehab the front. Link to post Share on other sites
gisco 1 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I think it would be hilarious if they used the track to begin with to be cheap, and then the track was giving out and that's why they had to rehab the front. They are probably paying more to refurbish this then they would have if they weren't so cheap the first time! Link to post Share on other sites

Anything 0 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I bet some of the more expensive elements are retired or changed - although I know Amanda likes a bit of flair and theatre so maybe not on the flipside. Link to post Share on other sites

RollerCoasterSmi 0 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Revolution is getting repainted... in grey! Pleasure Beach Blackpool recently announced their Revolution rollercoaster had undergone a facelift. The amusement park released photos of the retheme today on their Facebook page.Revolution opened in 1979 and was the UK's first inverting roller coaster. In 1990, the ride was sponsored by Scottish carbonated soft drink manufacturer A.G. Barr. The ride was subsequently renamed to "Irn-Bru Revolution" and painted in the orange and blue colours to relfect the company's premium product. The sponsorship ended in 2011. Pleasure Beach Blackpool dropped the sponsorship, removing the "Irn-Bru" tag and modernising the logo in the process. Revolution has been painted grey for the 2012 theme park season to reflect an industrial feel. A new paint job indicates the parks commitment to maintain historical, significant and thrilling rides in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkStitch626 0 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I like the idea of "Change" to reflect an industrial appeal. It would make just as much sense to re"sponsor" it to some kind of hardware or tool theme maybe? If it sticks to "Irn bru" I don't know much more on that though. Link to post Share on other sites
RollerCoasterSmi 0 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 ^ The Irn Bru sponsorship finished this year. Link to post Share on other sites
andyuk200523 0 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Looks like someone from PBB has been reading the Merlin rule book on themeing a Rollercoaster........ Seriously, can't we paint a ride in the UK with better colours than grey?! Link to post Share on other sites
