It seems a recent interview with Amanda Thompson has caused a fair amount of feathers to be ruffled. 'Director of English amusement park not happy with critical season ticket holders The director and owner of the English amusement park Blackpool Pleasure Beach is lashing out at complaining...

Icon. I just don't get the fuss. Its good, in the same way the Avalanche is good, but its hardly a top level thrill machine. Best coaster in the country? It isn't even the best coaster to invade the southern most point of BPB! Give me any of the woodies, the Big One and as my name suggests...

Dragon Khan simply can't be allowed to die, its far too good for that, this would be a brilliant result.

Paultons to be honest. They seem to genuinely give a dam, you don't feel fleeced after a visit and while they lack a true major coaster, its the only park that is consistently improving.

Revolution or Nick Streak, both really in their own right

They actually did that a few years ago as part of Vampire Beach and I enjoyed it, so I was baffled when it was dropped.

I believe it is 'open' from 7pm until 10, however it has been known for things to close earlier as is standard for this park. Your money gets you ONE go on the following; Icon in the dark Dodgems Ghost Train with actors and different audio River Caves with actors and different audio...

Corkscrew from Alton for me.

An almost empty park will give a great experience if a ride count is what you are after. However, the October half term is traditionally a time to enjoy rides in the dark for a good few hours as per the other major parks in the country, and that runs alongside a Halloween event and the...

And so it continues, one 9pm close during the illuminations, the rest of time its 5 or 6pm close, meanwhile Alton is attracting 2+ hour waits on signature rides for a variety of reasons, but the fact remains that the hardware at BPB deserves more than the 10-15 minutes wait time its currently...

If that's refurbishment then there is home for Dueling Dragons reappearing. Sorry but its a goner.

One can only hope that they have something lined up to replace them, particularly now Enterprise is gone too. X-Sector may well be in the same position as Dark Forest, 2 coasters and bugger all else.

Loved Rock n Roller and Everest, but I'd have to go with Stuntfall as a personal favourite, such a solid, intense ride that exceed expectations massively.

Montu for me, by some distance, however its worth noting that Kumba was closed on my one and only visit, and I do generally enjoy the old school B&M's, Dragon Khan being a ride a rank particularly highly, and I enjoyed Kraken so that may challenge it when I return.

I have to admit I absolutely adore all 3, but my vote has to go to the National. Its the better of the 3 by some distance, and it was my first coaster besides the Little Dipper what got my hooked on coasters. The RollerCoaster, I never really rated as a child, I always found it tame, however as...

I'm sure this has been done before, but with many complaining the National is un-rideable these days and others suggesting the Streak is dull, neither of which I agree with i thought it may he interesting to see the results of this.

In no particular order Steel: Mako Oblivion Shambhala Big One Baco (yes, that drop thats about one foot big after the launch is insane) Wood: Grand National

Double...Grand National

Honestly, I have to say its Rio Bravo at Parque Warner.

See WTF BPB topic. In my opinion, they have the best coaster line up in the UK, but the way the park is operating these days is a mixture of depressing and dam right concerning. To say they aren't living up to their potential is the understatement of the millennium, and the longer it goes on...
