I HATE VALHALLA - Blackpool Pleasure Beach Summer Vlog 2024
It makes me very sad for Slammer to be scrapped
To not even mention the grand national… be my number 1 to go? Easily the most uncomfortable ride at Pleasure Beach!
i appreciate your opinion and think you do brill work, however in terms of Blackpool i disagree and think that infusion is the ride that needs replacing as I have gone on both steeplecase and infusion the same amount of times and infusion the most uncomfortable ride and the worst coaster in the uk ( yes including hero) and think could replace infusion with a coaster that is unique to the uk. Also personally think flamingo land's reputation is the fact that their operation's is extremely slow as even on a quiet day ques are close to 1 hour
I agree that Infusion is more uncomfortable than Steeplechase. However, it is popular with guests therefore from Pleasure Beach's standpoint, removing it would be risky, especially considering the fact they are already in financial hardship. You're certainly not wrong in saying that Flamingo Land's operations are poor 😂 but personally, I still love the place because it has quite a unique ride line-up!
I appreciate your opinion and video, thanks. I love Colossus and it is better than Sik, that said the restraints are awful. Replace the trains with a lapbar system and a faster lift hill and its a winner. Totally agree with getting rid of Rita and Thirteen. Cheers mate.
@@hersnab Glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah, they definitely need to sort Colossus's trains out at the very least!
poggers video man
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That's planet coster
well... you gotta rant about the truth .... im ranting about... mussells in a tub... each one cut in two so it looks like there is more mussells in the tub............ yes...... now... what a sly one/trick that is ......
i wonder if amanda thompson has a twin.....?????........
hello..ben.....is that your twin brother who knocked on the door....???🤵🤵
The app sounds like a really good idea. Hope 2025 brings lots of good things your way. 👍
I'm glad that you're excited! 2025 sure is going to be a big year for the channel!
Hey you can you describe your mental health and disability. I think lots don't understand what you personally are going through but we all care xx I understand you don't want this to be a thing but be epic if you would share x You are wonderful ❤ You are definitely not an outcast ❤
Thank you for your kind words! There's nothing major going on behind the scenes besides what I have described in this video (and others I have done on the channel in the past), so no need for anyone to be overly concerned in any way. My aim with this video was to explain how my mindset towards content creation has chantged over the past year and as described, there were a few personal events and circumstances that contributed to this. However, I am glad to say that I am currently happier than ever with the direction of the channel. But once again, thank you for your words of support; comments like this really do mean a lot! :)
hello..mr thrillnet... i think your spot on about ...the river caves.....and yes.... it would be good to have a dog friendly hotel...... i can then take my dog ....rex...there.... every time rex has a fever i always give him mustard...mustard is great for hot dogs.......🐶🐶🐕🐕🦮🦮🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺
not britains best park thorpe park and alton on top
I disagree but each to their own of course. :)
Everyone is so negative and loves to complain. We all know that cebeebies land needs more capacity and another standout attraction especially as the world of David walliams has been a flop. With the recent success of bluey at the park and its general popularity worldwide it makes huge sense to put in a bluey themed ride. With a signature ip like that it makes sense to have it a signature ride in that area - being a coaster. It will also probably be bigger than octonauts and serve as a transition between that and runaway mine train - which at the moment is quite a big jump. Finally a small junior coaster like that is quite a cheap addition and won’t necessarily push project horizon back. There has in the last couple weeks been some more paperwork that has been approved/finalised, and they have to start construction latest by 2026 anyway because the planning permission will expire. It should most likely open in 2027 or latest 2028. I think it will greatly improve the park to have rides such as the sky ride being back, project ocean, a potential galactica retheme, plus the new junior coaster, will put the park in a much better position before project horizon opens - especially if they manage to sort out operations and ride availability. They can sort out flat rides after horizon it’s not a big deal which will help a lot with the family market
First 10 seconds made me crashout, scream run around my room for 3 minutes. Rest of the video saved my brain
Tokaydo Express was a great ride, especially in the back seat. It packed a punch. I was sad to see it go.
It's a shame I never got to ride it. It closed around 5 years before I was born lol.
I think it’s common for businesses to apply for loans even with enough money as it doesn’t reduce their cash flow which pleasure beach needs very much at the moment.
0:01 already an amazing video
I'm glad it hooked you from the start; that was my goal. 😂
I personally think that once this rollercoaster opens on the Grand Prix site. Amanda will then retire as MD, in other words I think it will be our last project, and then someone else in the family will take over afterwards.
Yeah, I had heard that Adam who worked on Valhalla has plans/ wants to reimagined river Caves. I certainly hope that’s what happens as it’s probably the dark ride that needs the most loving care now.
river caves one of my favourite rides at PB
I completely agree. With Ghost Train and Alice in Wonderland currently receiving major overhauls, Wallace and Gromit potentially receiving a new scene themed to the film that just released and Valhalla having received its recent full reimagining, River Caves is seeming quite neglected.
The way I see it, launchpad is basically securing the future of an existing ride which I’m all for, the last thing this park needs is any more removals! I just hope they secure the future of all the historical heritage ones before they invest in anything major New IMO.
The Tokyo express went down fine, it was just that one stupid woman making a claim over nothing! If she was that nervous, she shouldn’t have been going on the bloody thing in the first place.
It’s worth pointing out that wild mouse only went because they could no longer get insurance for it after an incident involving a very stupid woman and her child in 2017.
I honestly would love to see either an intamin or vekoma launched family coaster they are both rlly good models. Edit: Family coasters can be rlly fun rides even for thrillseekers
Both are great models. However, if one was to be built at BPB, it would need have an obvious marketing point as they already have a launched coaster in Icon.
Merry Christmas! 🎅
Thank you, you too! 🎅
Great video
Thank you, much appreciated! :)
Someone’s angry. Would you like a cup of hot chocolate mate?
I'm sorry but the guy who thinks building an orange and green Vekoma boomerang in Nickelodeon Land is a good idea pushed me over the edge! 😉 I do love a good hot chocolate though!
River caves ?
Going same way as lightwater Valley is this place..merlin give your head s a shake
It's definitely going in a very confusing direction!
Project horizon more excited for indoor coaster
This is why i havent renewed my merlin pass because correct me if im wrong project horizon has been in the works since hyperia was planned and approved and we havent seen any construction for that starting. Its just not what i remember alton towers to be when i was little. I'm actually quite unhappy by this investment apart from acting on things they already have approved and planned
I've renewed my Merlin Platinum Pass for next year but that's because of Hyperia and visiting Chessington for the first time in my life as that's where the Merlin investment appears to be going for the foreseeable future. Not thinking of Towers much for next year as much now.
Towers is the Merlin park I visit the most as it is by far the most local of the 4 but I much prefer Thorpe!
Slammer was horrendously intense. I rode it once. Never again
3:53 we now know the truth 😂 Wondering too tbh but you all seem close which is good to have.
Haha, quite a few were curious lol.
5:33 Intamin built an RMC in Australia 💀
And it’s very much possible to clone it and put it in a travelling circuit like Munich Looping,
1:20 IT’S 23 FEET TALLER!
0:53 THE COASTER WARS ARE COMING BACK!!! Can’t wait for the UK’s first GIGA coaster to arrive!
I would love to see a giga coaster in the UK too!
Shut up galactica is fun and chill
Thanks for answering my rambly questions 😬. 24:50 made me laugh 😅
No worries, thank you for all your help!
Great Q&A
Thank you, and thank you for all your questions!
I'm not normally that keen on re-themes but this one looks really good! Will be good having the drop feature on this ride as well
Agreed, I think it's a good retheme.
i heard it was going to be called.....the fart monster......
Liar.
They've missed a trick by not giving it the spinning seats, would lend themselves nicely to a space theme.
What I'm wondering is that the ice blast drink sponsored the ride so will it not be sponsored anymore?
@HavenMaster123 No, I don't believe it will be sponsored by Tango anymore. However, it could receive a new sponsor.
@ThrillNet Hopefully they get a sponser for any of the rides so it will bring more people to the park and have a theme for that ride
All the rides you mentioned with the exception of Blade were always meant to be in the park temporarily. You should’ve been able to tell by the park’s unwillingness to put in any permanent fencing or landscaping around them. If that wasn’t enough look at the original commercials advertising the Retro Squad. It literally said they would be there for a limited time. This shouldn’t be a shock. It was a gimmick to distract from some other things going on in the park. They’re simply following through with what they said they would do a few years ago.
I would have ignored the request. Seeing a video is NOTHING compared to going inside. I’ve been in four times since I was 13 years old. Plus they change he actors/layout daily.
@Hazel14686 I see where you're coming from entirely but I love and respect the attraction. The last thing I want is a bad relationship with them, especially over something as small as this.
