Disappointing.

Besides the train driver it only had two actors inside, which meant the final third of the ride never had anything going on.

Nowhere near as good as some of the reviews made it out to be IMO.

As stated. It was missing a character, most of the reviews are based on a 3 character operation. As in the Mother Character (Train driver & the most important character of the train ;) ) and the remaining Three Daughters. There was a shortage of staff that day. Trust me, I booked the day off ;)

I'm not sure what there is to say that hasn't already been said. Something about Blackpool just seems to lend itself well to silliness and antics, and makes for a hilarious day. One the down side, somehow that never seems to come across very well on camera. I quickly got fed up with trying to take pictures, and just enjoyed the day for what it was: **** hilarious!

(Ninja) Chris H was busy freaking people out with his surreal humour and arguing with Stone Cold over whether beer or cider was better. Mysterious Sue was dumped in the dancing fountains twice. People were caught off guard by the evil new trim on Roller Coaster. Valhalla was awesome as always. Big Dipper was running amazingly well. Maddie managed to stop Avalanche with her fake cigarette. I'm sure there were other epic moments over the course of the day that I've forgotten.

The few photos I did take are available at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 6e7&type=1. Enjoy.

Wasn't sure where to put this so here will do. :p
It turns out Bling isn't scheduled for removal, Amanda Thompson said it was just a mistake on the map.

Or, it was all set to leave, so they removed it from the map only for the deal to fall through after the maps had been printed.

^Awesome video. Wish I could have made it as it looks great fun and I haven't been to Blackpool in years.
 
Haha yay for the video! It really was a great day, despite the rain as rain has a tendency to put me in an absolutely God awful mood. Richard and his water fountains ugh.. I wanted to kill him when he hurled water out of a water bottle at me and when he tried to get me soaked with the Spongebob ride, but nothing compared to poor Sue!

That was an awesome video, I think you captured the day really well and I missed the fountain dance so I'm glad you managed to film it :p

The Blues Brothers have really let themselves go lately

IMAG4847.jpg

Big Dipper was crazy that day. It nearly threw me out at one point

IMAG4843.jpg

Big One broke down and some maintenance guys began to feel the wheels of each car. It all looked highly technical! :?

IMAG4849.jpg

We did Carnesky's Ghost Train, which was odd and not very scary

The bad weather then set in, so no more photos that day. Sunday morning we traveled to Greenwood...
