- A series of the construction of the Pepsi Max Big One.
...12 years ago. The Pepsi Max Big One was one of the first Hyper Coasters in the world, and is probably still recognized, 12 years later, by the general UK public as the world's tallest roller coaster. At just over 210ft tall, it is still a monster, even by today's standards. No matter how rough it is, how dull the layout is, and how little airtime you get, one thing still shines through - this is one amazing experience - an experience amplified if ridden at night.
The construction of the Big One took sixteen months in total. The 2,600-tonne coaster was built in sections in nearby Bolton and stored at Blackpool Airport before it was erected. the Airport is the largest open space near to the Pleasure Beach where it could be stored! As it's near the seafront and exposed to the lovely Blackpool weather, five coats of paint give it all the protection it needs. The £12 million investment proved to be a good gamble as the Big One produced a 25% increase in turnover in it's first season of operation!
A real piece of history!
ah, just seeing blackpool without this is a mystery to me
from where i live you can see this ride from absolutely miles away!
03:40 you dead yet mate? Cause it needs re painting along time ago lol
Can the park claim on the paint guarantee?
R.I.P Arrow Dynamics
Crikey, thank you so much for uploading this fascinating video, it’s brilliant. It’s in dire need of a repaint now on those old original parts.
I love how crappy the computers look now XD It took about 10 seconds to draw a crappy 2D line drawing.
;) Nostalgia!
A bit optimistic for the time till it needed painting huh?
Definitely. I was there today and it’s very faded on the blue supports.
Seeing this is so weird and strange
Is that Fred dibnah narrating
sonic !!! :D
thats cool
Watching this and a film of the World Trade Center being built, there's not much difference,!
N.B. no wonder The Big One is so rough if it was designed on that computer!
Big difference
I live in blackpool

Poor you
Cedar point build first roller coaster you beat it because u copy cedar point idea that opened in 1989
Called magnum XL 2000
robert labuda no magnum XL-200
It's not a copy It's a arrow dynamics coaster that's longer faster and higher then xl200 which was designed and built by arrow dynamics
cedar point is crap not being mean but
A manufacturer can’t copy itself
