Blackpool Pleasure Beach removes Ice Blast - or not

[Matt N]

According to this Twitter status from Owen Holt, it would appear that Blackpool Pleasure Beach has removed Ice Blast, their S&S shot tower:

That was a surprising relevation! I wonder what it will be replaced with?

This is a very funny and very convincing photoshop. Hope it gets replaced with a gyro swing.

Proof it sadly still exists:

Yeah it's just a photoshop, it's still there. False alarm everyone.

My apologies, everyone… I wasn’t aware it was an edited picture.

It is a very convincing edited picture, to be fair!

Could a mod please lock this thread, if they wouldn’t mind?

Don't worry about it, Matt - we've all been suckered one time or another
I wouldn't be sad to see the back of that eyesore either.

Me neither, they've had their day...

And @Matt N don't worry, like Will said, we've all done similar in the past. To be fair, this seems like a case of 'confirmation bias,' the rumours were already floating around, so when you're presented with something that seems to back it up, it's human nature to immediately take it as confirmation.
