Icon most certainly is not rough. It has the "Mack Rattle" associated with coasters like Helix and Blue Fire but it honestly isn't rough. I have ridden Icon around 50 times now in every single seat including numerous rides at the back and it is insanely re-rideable. The Intamin trains on Taron...

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach Hi Martyn B It was "announced" for a 2012 opening but then for some reason the whole project just went dead. On PBE we were a little sceptical that it would even happen as Pleasure Beach stayed quiet about the whole thing. I'm just letting you...

Thanks to the members on PBE who visited the special behind the scenes tour yesterday we now have a confirmation on the new Wallace & Gromit attraction at the Pleasure Beach and we even have details on what the ride will be and how it will work. David Cam has announced that opening Easter 2013...

Just an update- Infusion WILL be part of Speedy-Q the access area will be the exit.

The Grand National is the best woodie in the world imo. Truly crazy though I am yet to ride the Beast at King's Island so my opinion might change.

Schwarzkopf seem to have a lot of travelling coasters. The quality in some of their designs is great and they have some of the most intense non-B&M and non-Intamin coasters out there. Having said that some of their coasters are a bit shoddy. They are hit and miss imo.

The land that occupied it is currently being discussed. A new ride for 2012 :)

According to pleasurebeachexperience.com Bling at Pleasure Beach has been sold to Pleasureland.

2010! Whoop!

They will have to do what they are told on this issue. If the system has to change then it will have to change. Like people have said it doesn't matter about loading and dispatch times what's more important is that the system is safe.

Silly woman. She made the whole situation worse! It must be scary trapped that far up on a booster when the car is tilted like that. Aren't these rides motion controlled whereby they are only able to be operated if the restraint is secure? Dear me some people have no common sense.

I was on that 2 weeks ago. Lucky escape methinks. Funny because my friend stated 'I don't like the look of that it doesn't look safe.'

In the UK the best are: Alton Towers- Always enjoyed the food there and the places to eat are nice as well. BPB: The Italian Job all you can eat buffet is lush and Thor's Fish and Chip Place is also very nice. Always like eating here. The Worst: Legoland: A sandwich and a drink was...

My Pleasure Beach group on Facebook (which is the biggest I might add) is flooded with people complaining about the Rollercoaster not being open. It is unlikely it will be open again this year as it was only open as an alternative to the Nash being closed at the start of the year and of...

There was some sort of glitch in the computerized operating system which prevented the second train from fully stopping and also the mid course breaks were not working properly. The second train hit the first train from behind at a few miles an hour. As far as I know the train was intact?

Part of being a coaster enthusiast is chasing the biggest and best coasters you can find. The fear element is included in that package as well as the whole credit thing. I'd say just jump in at the deep end and go on the coaster that intimidates you the most as was the case with me and Griffon...

I understand what you are saying Furie but I have followed Blackpool pretty closely over the last couple of years (when the figures started dropping dramatically) and it has deffinatley been the busiest since Infusion opened at least. At the end of the day the queue for the Big One stretched up...

Well last weekend, particularly on Saturday I'd say there was a vast amount of people in the Pleasure Beach. Probably around the 10-15,000 mark. I was doubtful as to whether the gate charge would vastly drop numbers and judging from the last few days I would say I am right. If I have to queue...

Avalanche, Bling and Steeplechase are three of the biggest queue pullers in the whole park. Avalanche in particular sometimes gets exceptionally large queues which on a peak day rivals that of PMBO. I do think that the South end of the park looks a bit bare. I don't know why, but walking up...
