Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018
Yeah, no denying it was a basic upload of what has happened since the last update video we did really. I don't think there's anything to get overly excited about yet because the ride hasn't even been confirmed yet, it's just a case of BPB fans getting a bit excitable when anything new is likely to happen, afterall since Valhalla there hasn't been much for us to get excited about![/quote]
What about that second hand Vekoma SLC that everyone forgot about in 2007?

^I think the 'Second hand Vekoma SLC' part answers your question. Nobody likes SLCs, especially second-hand ones.

I'm sure once actual construction begins then you will have plenty on interesting content and those videos should definitely be posted on here, but a few seconds of new markings and footage of a skip with an incredibly screechy train as background noise is not interesting, sorry.
Anyway, as exciting as this project is, I think I'll refrain from posting in here again until we have deliveries, groundwork or park comments.
First of all, I'll always appreciate people who are able to go to the park and spend time filming updates for others, it takes time out of the day from riding things, so thanks.Scott88 said:

What are the odds of these plans being dumped for a second hand kanonen!! Let's hope not

Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018
Let's see... that would imply the following:
- All design work for the new coaster would have been for naught
- BPB cancelling the contract with Mack
- Amanda (or whomever) changing the plans for the 2018 addition less than a year-and-a-half before it's due to open
- A new site having to be prepared at BPB, to accomodate a coaster with Kanonen's very specific size and footprint
Perhaps some park's as-of-now-unannounced 2020 plans are being changed in favour of Kanonen. Perhaps Liseberg signed a letter of agreement to sell Kanonen a year or two ago, while B&M (or whomever) were surveying the site. But it is almost completely certain that BPB would never start design works with one company, then cancel at the last moment to build something completely different. Coasters are usually sold or commissioned years before they're actually built. For relocations, the coaster is often sold long before its removal is even made public.
TL;DR - The odds are virtually non-existent.

As I understand it the park was majorly in the red during that period hence over a decade without any real investment.

Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018
Well thank you for putting my mind at rest! This is the first ever coaster I plan on following the construction on!
Given Bpb's relationship with liseberg as well as the parks fondness for going for the cheaper option I kind of put 2&2 together and made 9

In the meantime, lets be one of those goons who sees a crumb of information and makes a loaf of bread from it. So let's over analyse her tweet because she must have left a clue!

Yes, definitely a Mack mega coaster! Can't believe she gave the game away.
