I have changed my tune because it's now a constant bombardment of posts that make no sense and appear to have no thought behind them whatsoever?

Ground testing is ongoing around the Go-Karts area.

The area behind the Turtle Chase site has been completed excavated, leaving the walls of the Pleasure Beach Express tunnel exposed.

Will this be ducking through Big One's and any of the woodie's support structures? Because that would be amazing...

Yes. The layout features a lot of moments where it crosses over and passes through existing attractions. An early part of the ride features major ejector airtime immediately followed by potentially one of the best head choppers of all time.

I'm not sure if Matt has spotted these already, so apologies if that's the case, but are we seeing the first signs of where the ride exit shop is going to be?

By the game stalls next to where Turtle Chase used to be, there is clear markings for 'exit shop' in several places and other markers nearby which I don't remember seeing on my visit before yesterday.

Out-scooped me Scott, well done! ;)

This is going to be one interesting off-season...!

The placement of the exit shop marker makes it seem unlikely that the ride will use the Grand Prix space and station. Why would the exit be so far away from the entrance, which isn't at a dead end or out the way like the Infusion station?

More photos (I forgot these earlier); ride station, launch sub stations and transfer track/maintenance shed?

Actually I do think about my posts, if you think I'm going anywhere anytime soon, I think you're wrong. I'm staying right here whether you like it or not :)

Nobody is bothered that your staying, it's actually good that the site has another member who is willing to post a lot. What people have a problem with is the lack of thought behind most of your posts and the strange statements you seem to make now and again.

Don't see this a personal attack because it really isn't.

^ At the top of the page under the banner there's a 'View Your Posts' button, click that and you're all set!

To people that have seen the plans (I haven't, sadly), did it give an indication of what colour the coaster will be? Will be interesting to see how it blends/clashes with the other rides around it.

To find plans - go on Google, type in Blackpool Pleasure Beach Project 2018, go on images, and it is one of the first ones you see ;)

A white line drawn onto a Google Maps screenshot isn't "plans", honey.

^ I was going to say, you're proper on the ball with this one, Temleh!

I know progress isn't very advanced at this stage of the game, but it is quite refreshing to be seeing this kind of prep done at BPB. Honestly didn't see a coaster coming to this park any time soon. Can't wait till sheet gets real!

Isn't Alexander one of the jugglers from Eclipse?
