Photo TR: Blackpool Pleasure Beach & Knutsford Fair


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

 

I had a really busy day at work today and since I owed Lou a "dinner date" for some sexual favors I did during one of my past visits, I went around to pick her up this afternoon, but instead of a dinner date I tricked her into heading up to Blackpool for the last hour of operation.

 

I really wanted to see what Grand National was like with the new trains, but unfortunatley, it was closed.

 

We did manage to get on quite a bit in the short time we were there: Pepsi Max, Steeplechase, Revolution, Avalanche, Roller Coaster, Wild Mouse, Flying Machines, Derby Racer, Bling, etc.....

 

Also right by my hotel was a very small fair but it actually had a CREDIT!!!! Yay!!!!

 

Anyway, onto the photos.....

It might only be a Wacky Worm, but it counts!!!!

 

That's pretty much it. It was a very short visit to both places, but hey...I GOT A CREDIT!!!! YAY!!!!

bpb27.jpg.0da227c99759a52ac1288e9f93c4a0e0.jpg

Yay! We found a REAL credit!

"Hey Jeff....there was a credit here for you" (the coaster...NOT Lou!!!!)

After Blackpool we decided to head over to the Knutsford fair to see if the had a credit! (driving on the right hand side of the car is COOL!)

...they won the loo of the year award! Congratulations Lou! =)

These toilets had something special about them......

bpb23.jpg.b72938f095e6bd0754be9edec1852365.jpg

Yay! "Lou Boob Credit #2" on the Wild Mouse!

bpb24.jpg.520e0e212acc0074608cf4abdc67096d.jpg

It's impossible to describe how insane the Wild Mouse is. Especially if you cram two people in one car, and one of those people is Robb!!!

Yay for more arrow fun, 235 feet in the air!

bpb16.jpg.6dfebd5d70729d77ed6fc6b534458eb3.jpg

Blackpool was so dead today we did all the open coasters and some flat rides in an hour!

bpb12.jpg.20ba3bbb64af36bca1dc882fb27aed23.jpg

Wrong? Yup. Funny? HELL YES!!!!

This is not a "Joe Friendly Bumper Cars."

"Hi Elissa...hows it going?" =)

bpb9.jpg.98aa9b3db50ebf4553ec1ae69fcab7d1.jpg

Time for Elissa's favorite coaster!

bpb13.jpg.7e91a1bd1c2a9a98ae2e3815c50c08b5.jpg

Does that look like some happy Arror riding faces?

bpb10.jpg.8a7183a96b26425c6224e7fcda1aab70.jpg

Yay! Revolution was back open!

bpb30.jpg.8b0b72f3586afc0ad4fb802ed478142f.jpg

...and sure enough, that's a seat belt!

bpb2.jpg.0c4007a176c9bc1ab36ade22c07d35b1.jpg

trains still look the same....

bpb8.jpg.fbd4b752281adabb53a44b73cfa1a48e.jpg

We had heard about the seatbelts on Roller Coaster so we figured we'd go check that out.....

bpb5.jpg.0faf9fd551108d8d81c04f015acfc2d9.jpg

But hey! I did manage to get 1 "Lou Boob Credit" while on Avalanche! (her boobs count as two in case you are wondering!)

bpb26.jpg.751aff4e44d1d311bc3105c05497fa3d.jpg

...needless to say I was bummed. =(

bpb7.jpg.af9f38e25a179f8df3c6a7c625283d51.jpg

...but they had broken the ride and it was closed the rest of the day....

bpb18.jpg.5728f627b85bb9bad40cbe281dc1163b.jpg

The main reason for coming was to check out Grand National with the new PTC trains.....

We only had a short time at the Pleasure Beach...but it was enough!

Dude, I could careless about Robb's groping...

 

BUT YOU RODE STEEPLECHASE WITHOUT ME!!!

 

 

 

 

Seriously, glad you guys had fun! I know Robb was pretty miserable on this trip so it looks like this more than made up for it! I'm still shocked you conned Lou (of the year) into going to Blackpool...does this mean she's going to be even more obnoxious about going on the UK trip!??!

PS: It won't be Barry.

LOL I have my own "term" now

 

Blackpool looks sweet, some lucky bums get to go there ALL THE TIME it seems. Oh well, sucks their bumper cars aren't up to standard... but at least you got the 2 important credits

 

<<-- sad he's not in SoCal THIS Thursday since Elissa already has her eye on me...

I'm less shocked that Robb was groping Lou than I was to discover that he counts FAIR COASTERS as credits!?!

 

I don't even count fair coasters, and I count Steeplechase as three!

 

(Three tracks, three coaster. Why is that weird to so many people?)

Did Lou get the Robb boob credits, or ...??

 

I got one of them. I think there is a picture.

 

Robb's such a whore, the look on the Wacky Worm ride op's face was priceless.

 

I'm off to tend to my bruises. Ouch.

Hey Robb or Lou, was Spin Doctor open?

 

Over at Coasteforce.com in their forum theres some talk going on about this Rocket Coaster thats going to be around the Spin Doctor area and shoot out through the Big Dipper & Big One & over to the sea, about 314ft tall and lanches 0-117mph in less than 4 seconds. I thought they decided against the Even Bigger One. But then this is just talk

Well done on getting another credit Robb! And well done on getting Lou out of the house!

 

Shame the Nash wasn't open, I'd have thought it would be running regularly by now. Oh well, there's always time again in June.

Yeah, now I really feel rejected...I tried to get Hypoteneuse, the Jew, or the Diabetic up last night to do our own "boob photo TR" but no one came up.

 

Heck, I'm almost ready to go for the 14 year old fanboys at this point! (Good thing Robb's coming home tonight!)

Don't worry, I still only have one Robb-boob credit when I'm pretty sure you have both, and you're more than welcome to get the Lou (of the year) boob credits in June.

 

Please remind me in June to not ride the Mouse with Robb, I have a graze right across my torso from the damn belt (along with a bruise on my arm from where Robb punched me ).

 

We missed you Elissa!

OMG Robb!!! Look what happened a few hours after you got your credit at the Knutsford fair!

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/4979766.stm

 

Four teenagers were injured, one of them seriously, when part of a waltzer flew off and struck them at a fairground in Cheshire.

They were standing near the ride as it was being operated at the fair on Manchester Road, Knutsford.

 

One of the four suffered a serious leg injury in the accident on Friday night, which is now being investigated by the Health and Safety Executive.

 

Cheshire Police said the ride had been closed down.

 

A spokesman said all parties involved in the incident had given their full co-operation to the investigation.

 

The teenagers were hit by part of the ride's structure which became detached as it was in operation.
