    I think you’ve nailed it with the work on River Caves due to the shared space. They probably can’t get to the bit they want to repair without taking out/closing other attractions temporary. The River Caves were there first then the others bolted on so that would make sense why nothing has happened so far. It obviously happened opening weekend whatever the fault was as I’m sure work would have happened during the winter otherwise and with ice blast and Grand Prix out the last thing they needed were more SBNO attractions.

    Another great video. I think the park has over stretched it's self and just doesn't have the finances to do everything.
    Its good to see it's busier but still quiet compared to it's heyday.

    When did you go to the park, this week is half term break In leicestershire so could explain why there was some increase attendance this week. Towers today seemed to have every other group had some form of Leicester kit on at some points in the day.

    The red water dye at Nemesis was taken away due to environmental reasons, the red dye was leaking into the local groundwater. They might not be allowed to bring it back. The water in BPB might just be a closed water system with no risk involved

    • @coaster_dad

    I went to the pb yesterday for the first time in several years and i was suprised how many rides were closed. The halloween street entertainment was good near the ghost train but the rest of the park felt lacking in a good vibe. Grand national needs major work as it felt it was crashing and slamming into the track around the whole circuit. It has to be the trains are too heavy or near the end of their life? We need streak/dipper style trains back too as i forgot how much your squashed in lol i cant see myself going back for a few years until major changes are addressed across the park. A new ride will only put a bandage over things.

    How (as in the Scots vernacular) does it take sooo long to build a coaster?

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  Месяц назад

      To be fair “building” it is around 1 year if you look at Hyperia. But planning and ground work you can add at least one more. And the question is have they started planning or are they still deciding?

  • @Foxstar1387
    @Foxstar1387 Месяц назад

    The retrack has improved it in places but then moved the problems to other places. One thing that is a near not ever gonna happen is maybe some new train chassis. as 30 years has not been kind to them by the sea. And that could solve some issues but only a slight improvment.

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  Месяц назад +1

      Yeah I’d be curious to see the impact of newer trains. After all from what I’ve heard the previous trains on Grand National were far more comfortable than the current bone shakers 🙈

    • @Foxstar1387
      @Foxstar1387 Месяц назад +1

      @coaster_dad the prior trains on Nash where better. Not having the divider in the seats gave more room. New trains on bigone would be interesting mostly with who would build them and if they would be basic like the arrow ones or have more modern wheel assembly's

    Hi , Will you be doing a video on the latest news regarding Blackpool pleasure beach Non Rider season pass £50 ?
    My option is it's still too much money unless your going to the park regularly, but if your in holiday in Blackpool and you want to go to the park your not gonna pay £50 for non rider when you can pay the same price for a normal ticket , to me AT is just getting £50 😮 when she should have just went back to £10 for every visit instead of Annual pass .

    Hi Coaster dad ,
    Blackpool pleasure beach non rider pass £50 is pointless
    It's ok for people who live in Blackpool who might want to walk round the pleasure beach but for tourists who might only visit once a year £50 to walk round a park 😮 no chance
    And it gets worse you only have 2 days to buy the pass as it's limited , more madness from Blackpool pleasure beach
    Bad management 🙄
