Hey,
It's a bit late I know, but I thought I'd share a small review from Club PBE's opening day event at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The day was mainly to celebrate the re-opening of the Pleasure Beach, and it was a good day, even if the weather was dreadful and some of the coasters were having off days either with breakdowns or not running as they can thanks to the wind.
We started off the day with breakfast at the Grill, followed by first rides of 2013 on PMBO, followed by a walk through BPB's Education Academy on Ocean Boulevard. The Education Academy is full of old Pleasure Beach merchandise, models and plans, which would be of interest to any coaster enthusiast.
We were allowed to sit in the old velvet coaster carriage;
Goldmine model;
The Bigger One :roll:
Back into the Pleasure Beach and we nearly took over the bridge;
PBE loves Gangnam Style (see video link further down)
Some people enjoying kiddy rides way too much.
Big Dipper ERT to finish the day;
Got a great shot of Dipper from here;
Final train of the day, no enthusiasm!
Here's my video link from the day; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc7ra7GmCGg
Be warned, it includes lots of dodgy dancing!
Scott.
