niiicolaaah Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 ^^Oh, yeah, I didn't even notice the donkeys. Subliminal donkey advertising!!
AznShortBoi8021 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I must be blind because I don't see any donkeys in that picture.
turlaach Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 LOL! The donkeys are unescapeable! Ice Blast.....again. The less-vertical part of the Big One
coasterdjuk Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Blackpool is THE park here in the UK, its so good- if any of you US-erz are hoping to come over, go in October, its SO quiet, still stays open for hours, but we go every year in October half term, and you literally queue no more than 5mins for Pepsi Max all day long. What a fab park!! There are roumers of the world's tallest and fastest rollercoaster there in about 4 years time. You'r right about the Old School feel, as most of the coasters are wooden, they are SO jumpy and clankety ( good use of language!!!) and throw you out of your seat- you cant beat it!!
Ed Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I must be blind because I don't see any donkeys in that picture. Â Look in the background... At Eeyore.
socalMAN123 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Awesome photos! Can't wait to see more. THAT STEEPLECHASE VIDEO WAS FREAKIN HILARIOUS! Brent "because Knott's sucks ass" Shenton
moinab Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I really should be studying and/or writing a paper, but I couldn't resist the temptation of a Robb and Elissa TR! Â Thanks for a thoroughly entertaining diversion. Â Maureen "8 weeks until graduation" O'Donnell
danandjackie Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Hey guys your nect door to us.... Â Click on video Dibb 05 on the neptune link for stream of the Hotel Rooms and views...
gmoney422 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I know this is a bit off topics, but Dan & Jackie, your videos are GREAT!!! I just checked them out, and WOW! Was just at WDW in Feb, and man, felt like I was right back there...! Â Great stuff!
danandjackie Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks.. Im keeping them updated now through the blog..
Dailey Enterprizes Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Haha, awesome video Robb. I guess Elissa needs to eat more McDonalds to win next time .
Hicko Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Excellent. I can never get enough of PTR's of Blackpool. Such a special place to me as I've been going there since I was a kid. Many happy memories. I shall be up there myself in early May when the weather should be warmer than it currently is lol. Â Anyway keep having fun and keep the pictures rolling in
kenshinmac Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Can we get a video of the Wild Mouse? I really want to see that baby at night... Especially with the "oh no duck" moment on the lift hill.
Hicko Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 lol yeah as the caption states in Rob's update you really do have to duck if you are over 6ft. I guess you have to ride it to believe it.
Ed Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 The Wild Mouse is probably one of the best rides at Blackpool. And you Do have to duck.. Â I've just had a rather interesting phone call from Tom. Â Expect: -Champagne -Pizza Hut Ice Cream -Bed Cracks -Elissa licking herself -Robb rubbing tom's thighs... Â I'm starting to wonder if meeting Elissa is a good idea...
Chrissie Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 ^ Random! - I look forward to the next installment! Â Great TR Guys! Glad to see your having fun in the UK and enjoying our lovely weather!
robbalvey Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Ok, everyone! Since we ended up with a MUCH bigger update we decided to make a proper photo update out of it instead of a Forum one.  We have also uploaded one more video (link on the update page) as well as a small video clip I'll post here.  So to see our complete Blackpool update from this weekend, click here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/miniuk2006/bpb1.htm  Enjoy!  --Robb snow.mpg It's snowing in Blackpool!!!!
robbalvey Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Can we get a video of the Wild Mouse? I really want to see that baby at night... Especially with the "oh no duck" moment on the lift hill. Sorry, I didn't take video on the Wild Mouse this time around. But it IS available on our Volume 2 DVD for just a small price!  http://www.themeparkreview.com/videos/volume2.htm  --Robb "I can't post ALL our POV's for free!" Alvey
cfc Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 ^^Holy cold front! Is it snow? Â Or . . . Â Is it sleet? Â Only Mr. Freeze knows for sure! Â Tune in tomorrow . . . Â Same Bat Time! Same Bat Channel!
AndyGiles Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Great update guys! I really love Steeplechase too. It's probably one of the most fun rides I've ever been on, especially when you're racing friends. Â I need to go on BPB's Wild Mouse again...I'm amazed that ride is still standing; so glad it is though! I found it just as scary as The Big One!!! Â Shame Grand National wasn't open, but I guess you'll get to go on it in June. Was there a sign saying when it was going to open? I'm thinking of heading up there this month.
Louise Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 "Since Lou wasn't here today....." Â ... I'll be there tomorrow!! Not that I'll be kissing anybody... Aww screw it, you know what I mean. Â I've just had a rather interesting phone call from Tom. Â Expect: -Champagne -Pizza Hut Ice Cream -Bed Cracks -Elissa licking herself -Robb rubbing tom's thighs... Â UPDATE DOES NOT DELIVER!! If I don't see Tom being abused by Robb tomorrow... There'll be trouble. Great pics as always, glad you guys had fun!
CoasterCrazy Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 The video was funny! Â I'm glad that it won't be that cold during our visit in June!
DerekRx Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 After seeing it snowing, I'm really jealous of you guys and annoyed at American parks for not being opened. It didn't look as insanely crowded at Blackpool as last week, but there was still people there and it was snowing!!! What exactly did that girl do to hold up the line for 30 minutes, was she making a British Porn?
Damien666 Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Yeah, I do want to know how that girl held up the Big One. Was she being rude or something?
