Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach
Oh, so it's different to what I was told back in October. The layout looked different on the plans compared to the exisiting layout. The 2013 opening bit was correct though.

As Lancashire-based characters they're ideal for Blackpool - but should have been put in 10 or 15 years ago!
There's no new productions in the pipeline, although the last short film got 20m viewers on TV in 2008 and their educational series (World of Invention) got around 6m every week two years later. The characters are perennially popular, and the spinoff series (Shaun The Sheep and TimmyTime) are still going strong.XYZ said:

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach
Bit annoyed they're keeping the same track system. It's far too noisy. It works for the Gold Mine, but a brand new ride? I think it's far too old fashoined, so hopefully that gets sorted out because it should be silent really.
I think that W & G is a great brand to get. It's on every Christmas and appeals to every generation. I'm 21 and can relate as I watched it when I was a kid, and the kids today know the characters too so I think it's a great idea.
Of course it won't be as popular as Nickleoodeon Land, because it's one brand and one ride, but it's great to see the aftermath of that Nick investment. An Irn Bru retheme, this and Valhalla refurb is more than what we could've hoped for a few years back.

I went on the goldmine alot as a child, but it just didn't bother me if I didn't go on it. I hope they do this well, because it could become an enoying ride. And who doesn't love Wallace and Gromit.
