Intamin Gyro Swing coming to Blackpool Pleasure Beach?

Looks like this one is a good chunk bigger than Loke at Liseberg (89ft vs 139ft). Really enjoyed Loke so pleased with this. Not quite a new coaster level of excitement but i'll take it!

138ft sounds more like the gondola’s swing height as opposed to the structural height. Loke’s swing height is 137.8 feet when converted from meters and there’s a good chance this is an identical model.

I boldly speculate that they might theme it to a snake.

Good choice. They might even have been beaten to it by Thorpe if they hadn't got it. Not that we can't have two.

Cries in Maelstrom

Damn, thats a bit ****.

Wonder if they will also put it on a raised platform?

Maybe they measured it from sea level....

The colours in these graphics just kinda make it look like Swingi at Linnanmäki without the music notes

Looks slow



This should be a good addition to the park though, Loki is rather awesome

We don't actually know yet where this will be do we? I guess the obvious site will be the former Bling/Red Arrows site, the only drawback would be that it would be dwarfed by the Big One lifthill in that space. It would be more visually impressive further North, either on the Grand Prix site or maybe even the Wild Mouse and/or Trauma Towers site. There's also something going on at the Bowl-a-Drome I think, so that's another possibility.

This sounds like its going on the Bowl-a-Drome location/car park behind it.

Yes, it's going on the Bowl a Drome site.
