There is a new promo image for Valhalla in the Visit Blackpool 2023 guide.

In the politest way possible, I don't know what to make of this.

It looks like a really budget Viking Porno...

Saucy new ice show confirmed.

Thanks, I hate it.

"Pleasure" Beach does sound like a budget porno studio I suppose.

I've never bothered with the shows at BPB. Can't see that changing any time soon either.

It's pretty awful. Not sure why they felt the need to produce this when they already have some nice graphics for Valhalla 2021, I mean 2022, I mean 2023 - like the nice boat design they have printed on the side of a van.

The Chinese park with the B&M hyper.

Valhalla’s construction walls are down, folks! This is not a drill… Valhalla’s construction walls are down:

Surely a 2023 opening, and quite possibly an early 2023 opening at that, is highly likely with this now being the case?

Hope so, I'm planning to visit the park for the first time in May when I'm up that way for Eurovision in Liverpool. Would be awkward if it wasn't ready by then - imagine taking so long that the equivalent of hell freezing over happens before you're finished!

Bit late for that.

 

[Georgie-M]

Ain't that brilliant, first the UK is hosting Eurovision, then Mission Ferrari has an opening date, and now hell has literally frozen over? All of that and we *still* don't know when this thing is reopening. I bet we'll have flying pigs soon too...

 

[Coastercal]

Anyone seen the video released today with the riders on big one wearing Valhalla merch? Gotta be a sign an announcement is due?

The CEO has no idea so there is no clue to when its opening..

 

[Lofty]

Never change, Amanda. Never change.

 

[Robbie]

I honestly didn't think anything could take longer than that new junction on the M55 so well done BPB.

 

[Joelpagett]

The way Amanda writes on Twitter reminds me of my aunt when she writes about cakes or something - endearing but really not a professional approach. The marketing team at BPB must sit there sweating when they see a notification pop up with her handle

 

[CSLKennyNI]

She'll be furious when she finds out who is in charge

The time has finally come… Valhalla is reopening for technical rehearsals from 7th April 2023:

It’s great to have an opening date for the ride!
