Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion ThreadP. 118 - Icon Front Seat POV and Rider Cam!Users viewing this topic: No registered users and 0 guests Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion Thread...so when will Knoebel’s have it transported to their park?
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion ThreadI don't care about them letting down the coaster community, I just care that they got rid of another killer ride who's footprint is such that there's no high capacity alternative staring them in the face. The reasons I liked Blackpool as much as I did 15 years ago are pretty much all gone now, so if its now just Morey's with bad teeth and less charm, why bother to make that trek again?
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion Thread
Knoebels would probably want someone to build a completley new wooden wild mouse ![]() That would be cool if that happened... Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion Thread
Even with the Mouse down for my visit, I still had a great time. Their collection of dark rides, wooden coasters, and Valhalla is top notch. And then they also have a hyper to boot. Maybe a free fly or Sky Rocket II could fit in that space? Top 5 Wood- Lightning Rod, Phoenix, Boulder Dash, Wildfire, Outlaw Run
Top 5 Steel- Steel Vengeance, Twisted Colossus, Expedition GeForce, Iron Rattler, Fury 325 ![]() Most Recent Trip Reports- Galaxyland Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion Thread^A free fly is to long to fit in the area, and they aren't getting a Sky Rocket II. They've just bought Icon. I am betting on a swinging pendulum-style flat ride in Wild Mouse's spot for 2020, as they seem to invest in a new attraction around every 2 years.
For past reference, 2011 was Nickelodeon Land, 2013 was Wallace and Gromit T.O.M, 2015 was Sky Force, 2018 will be Icon (3 year difference but it is a larger investment), so a new ride in 2020 would make sense. ATI Stands for Amusement Thrills International!

Fixed. ![]() (We used to have a pretty rickety scary old Wild Mouse. But that got taken down and replaced with the current West Coast Wheel. Not a great replacement, really.)
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion Thread
Is it probably a bad park now? Nah. Did it lose a bunch of stuff that I used to really like? Yeah. Did they actually bother to replace those things? Not always, and sometimes when they did it was with crap like the old TraumaTizer. I can't sit here and tell you about all the really awesome coasters they built and how at least I can get a bunch of credits because until Icon, they were getting new coasters at the same rate as Michigan's Adventure. Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion ThreadVery saddened to hear about the sudden removal of Wild Mouse. I understand the logic of why they decided to remove the ride, but it still bums me out and was hoping to get to BPB soon and ride it.

Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion Threadsighs! this is terrible! now england has been destroyed!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach (BPB) Discussion Thread
That's a bit over-dramatic. Even though this is a huge loss, BPB still has a myriad of classic dark rides/attractions. 1. Intimidator 305 2. Kumba 3. Twisted Timbers 4. Mako 5. Alpengeist
