- We went back to Blackpool Pleasure Beach to check out the progress of Valhalla, look at some potential new ride markings, ride some of our favourite rides and cover the subjects of interest that we missed in our opening day video.

This eticket nonsense really needs sorting. Especially if you find yourself in the circumstances you had with splitting up from son and mum.....we have something in common, I also have a son called Charlie. He's just turned 1.4m so he'll finally be getting on some "big boy" rides this year. Great to see you've got him started early! 👍
It needs to be scrapped, it puts a dampener on the guest experience.
Charlie is a great name! Hope you and your Charlie enjoy riding the coasters together 😀
Love it. Scott and Mike is all I need. Best combo. I've followed this channel for years and years. Great to see you doing well. Take care, hopefully see you at Pleasure Beach during the season
Thank you, appreciate this comment 😁
Would be amazing to see something new at PB!
Completely agree
You need to keep the clip of Mike clicking his fingers outside the old bowl a drome so when the new coaster opens you can edit in the reveal lol 😂
Great vlog! Love the Scott and Mike double act.
That’s a great idea 😂
Loved the vlog, your son has really grown, and he speaks well about the rides, bless
Thank you 😊 He’s almost 5, really pleased with how he’s developing with his speech and confidence
@@yourexperienceguide aww ye he's really good at speaking the way he does for his age
Thanks for the update
Thank you for watching and commenting
Hi guys.finally got to meet you on Sunday..It was great talking to you and Mike what a pair of nice fellas you are..so friendly and enthusiastic the pair of you.hope you made it in time for your last ride on the big one..I was the long haired biker bloke with small blonde lass called mandie near Alice ride late in the day..thanks for the eye opening chat too..hopefully we will attend your May event if any spaces left..thanks Scott and Mike.tim in leeds and mandie..great vlog as always
Nice to meet you both Tim 😀 Our meetup info is here; www.yourexperienceguide.info/event-details/west-coast-coasters-saturday-20th-may-2023
@@yourexperienceguide just booked 2 for us both.thankyou.unfortunately on this occasion we will not be able to attend the night party though as not long after we are going to download festival at donington for 4 nights so we need to watch our pennies until after that .and it's motorbike season too for me which always drains my funds at first getting the bike back out after its winter hibernation...thankyou scott and everybody
We print ours out before we go and we find it much easier 😊
I don't fancy paying for the printer ink lol, let BPB do it with it being their system of scanning at every ride
Please at 24:15 when he clicks his fingers.... PLEASE merge the clip with (if your predications are correct for the new rollercoaster) merge the finger click to a clip of when the new rollercoaster is built... if ever hahah that would be sooo epic! a kinda "told you so" video for the future hahaha
Haha hopefully there’s the opportunity to do this
Good to see Mike with a big smile on his face 🔥
Always good to see
Another great vlog, Thanks Scott I've been watching all of them. You guys have one of the most underrated channels on RUclips. These vlogs are great as im unable to get to any theme parks at the moment so its always good to see the latest updates. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Chris, appreciate the feedback and I hope you can get back out to the parks soon 😊
Nice one chaps. Have a good n at towers, me and Chris will be there on Thursday 🎢🙌🏽🧱👍🏼
Thanks guys 😊
The paper tickets you can also get them from Wallace ride and also the icon shop not just guest services,
Very handy to know thank you
Railblazer at CGA is to me the spiritual successor to the Blackpool Wild Mouse. Just a crazy intense ride and one of my favorite ever rides. If it were to be installed OPPOSITE the site of the Wild Mouse, then than would be the best thing ever. Having said that, I expect Cedar Fair would just move it to one of their other parks.
It may or may not be sold to BPB but it’s certainly a possibility when piecing together all of the info out there currently.
Across the road from the pleasure beach the big car park a couple of years ago they put planning permission in for a biggest roller coaster in the world like America a double launch roller coaster goes over put the never built it but they did get planning for it
A double launch roller coaster like America road Costa with archway over and then you come back down and that was the plan on the big car park across the road and you enter it from inside the park and then you where the big one comes down there and then use big turnover and then you look back around the egg into the
This was “The Bigger One”, rumours about this stopped in the late 2000s.
Great Vlog! We had a great day on Sunday getting a lot of rides in. Btw - that was me and my daughter shouting out your channel before disappearing backwards on Rev. Thanks for the wave!
Thank you! It was awesome getting a shout off the Rev, that’s never happened before and it made us all smile 😊
Me and my Boyfriend saw you both walk past while we were queuing for Derby Racer😂
We hope you had a good day
I remember that Specsavers advert. At the end they said 'what kind of cheese was that?' 😂
Also as a Spiderman fan I was very happy to see your lad's coat!
Classic ad 🧀 😂
Excellent vlog lads. Always very interesting.
Thanks Stuart
Great jobs guys , enjoyed the banter and the speculation yep it was Grand!!
Thanks Paul, it was a grand day out 😅
Have you guys considered getting waterproof slips for your phones? Can still use the screen while its inside, i got one for a few quid purely bc i knew id be taking it on valhalla ahah
We pick our daughters easy pass at guest services and the line is now getting really bad due to e-ticket printing
Any way good update see you Saturday
See you Saturday Carl 😀
It’s so hit and miss, we timed it well on Sunday to pick ours up, e-ticket printing should be done on a different till or shop, tell people that W&G shop also do it
See you Saturday
I think this vid is conclusive proof that the bowladrome is soon to be removed. I didn't know it had gotten so empty in there.
Thanks Scott and team.
Thanks Jimmy, matter of time before they bring it down I think
Great video 😊 really enjoyed it
Thanks so much! 😊
Another ace vlog! The Scott and Mike double act is always fun to see. When you were talking about the Big One.. I said 'Do It' at exactly the same time as you haha. They really should... it would be ace!
Thank you 😊 It’d really not surprise us if the “sea level thing” happens 😂
Haha 😂
Ooooh I was starting to think that the area behind the arcades would be a car park for the proposed (allegedly) air b&bs along the front, but the whole RMC single rail rumour seems to be cropping up a lot. Hopefully it happens 🤞
It’ll be great if the RMC rumour has some truth in it
A single rail RMC or Hot racer would be perfect for PB and is something unique to the uk. Great vlog guys
Agreed, and thank you 😊
Amazing new event . Thanks gang
We didn’t do the event, we were running Club Pleasure Beach for ten years beforehand 😉
Great vlog as always guys. I love the knowledge you have of BPB and make me feel close to the action.
Thank you 😊
Always a good way to start it with a good ole nash bash.
Drome arcade is defo on life support. RMC single rail or a Mack big dipper would go well in that site
Grand National is certainly a good way to start, and yeah I think the RMC rumour could have some truth
have kiosks (like self serve counters in asda and tesco) scan QR code and hit print... simple. or even better have it like towers. and if they say its to do with checking numbers just have a person with a counter as they guide people through.
Should be like the majority of the pay one price parks, no ride scanning
Ahh we were there on the Saturday. Was SO pleased the original queue line is back on Wallace. Also, I’m only halfway through your vlog so sorry if you cover this - but we were curious why they have put in the clear screen at the top of the river caves drop at the end - any ideas?
Hope you had a good visit? Not sure about the River Caves, I did notice it but didn’t have a proper look 😑
i get motion sick on fairground rides such as waltzers but can go on rollercoasters such as the big one with no issue. would you recommend icon? is it very intense or sickly?
Honestly it’s difficult to say, ICON can be nauseating
@@yourexperienceguide thanks, i might give it a go. do you know if you can choose to go on the front? this would prbably help
All I'll say on Valhalla when I was there last week... I was told the ride system itself is "running perfectly" with no issues.👍🏻
The arcade is definitely gone. How soon though is the question? I notified how empty it was. Car park markings were interesting and have a photo of them.
The arcade has been on borrowed time for a few years, the fun really begins once it comes down.
Thanks for another enjoyable vlog!
Thank you 😀
Just with e tickets only thing I can suggest is saving it as your phones screen saver so u can save time on the day may not solve all issues with families etc but only an idea
Unfortunately this isn’t a solution for me, my work is social media based and my lock screen is always full of notifications. The ticket scanning should be scrapped.
@@yourexperienceguide yeah I agree it should I use to prefer wristbands tbh but guess it’s more environmentally friendly etc but was just a suggestion no offence caused may not work for everyone I understand
@@marclfc3486 Appreciate the suggestion
What a fun blog I really enjoyed watching this it's a shame about infusion cause it looks a really really good dried but too painful
Thank you 😊
We rode Infusion on Sunday and I came off saying it was the worst ride I’ve ever had on it too. It absolutely killed my shoulders man. Apart from that we had a great couple of days. Best ride I’ve ever had on the Big One on saturday 😊 Great vlog. We saw you guys filming at Valhalla when we were on Flying Machines haha. Was nice to chat to Mike briefly. Hopefully we can make it to the May event.
It was *so bad* on Sunday! Apart from that hope you had a great day 😃
too many sheep bemoaning this ride. I'm an experienced themepark goers with plenty rides under my belt i can assure you. Infusion, could be better, but its ok..yes a little banging of your nut perhaps..but its a decent ride. Sure, replace it but my goodness there are at the very least....8 other rides which need to go first.
@@user-nb9xt5tl7n No need to call ppl sheep just because they have a different experience to you. Most of us here are “experienced theme park goers with lots of rides under our belts” so I can assure you our opinion is as valid as yours. Lots of factors affect the ride experience - weather, someones physical condition, where abouts on the train they sit. I normally enjoy the ride and had a great go on it last Halloween. Had many rides over the years and normally don’t find it too bad and will defend it. This time it shredded my shoulders from them banging against the restraints. Rides are subjective. Lots of ppl hate Nash and call it rough, I think it’s ace and never find it particularly rough as far as woodies go.
I'm excited to go this easter for my first time! hope it will be good weather and have a good time
P.S: when will big dipper be open
Have a great visit, there’s no date for Dipper yet
when i was last there you could literally see the rails from the broken wood in the carriage i was sitting in.Also, the last carriage is a nightmare and i felt like complaining and should of - dangerous imho and will never ride it again.
Infusion is an excellent ride to go on if you're a masochist.
Infusion was worse than its ever been on Sunday
The new ride should be Revolution 2. Just the same as the existing one but with 2 loops. Then in a few years they can build Revolution 3,4,5 etc adding an extra loop each time. It should have a celebrity tie in too, im thinking Dermot O'Leary.
🤔
Hi I went yesterday I went on icon 5 times 😂😂😂 its so fun
Thank you for watching and commenting
@@yourexperienceguide no probs 👌
Really great vlog am really enjoying all your uk updates over the past few weeks and the new name seems to be sticking! I wonder if BPB have a data analyst on team who could potentially be doing something beneficial with the ticket scan data?
Thank you 😊
Hello again Scott Mike and Jimmy
Question Scott is the pleasure Beach still card payment only too buy food drinks and merchandise as they were not taking cash too purchase anything into the park
They started card only payment last June I think
They were not taking no cash atall which I think is unfair really
After all the customer visiting Blackpool pleasure Beach should still be able to use cash aswell as card
Thanks Scott
Hi Simon, thank you, I believe it’s card only still
Jumping in on this one, Guest Services do a pre payment card where you can give them cash, it’s a bit of a pain but helps them not have cash everywhere across the park
I get what your saying about cracked phones but most flagship phones in the last 6 years are waterproof my Samsung s9 is 5 years old and fully waterproof I've fully submerged it in swimming pools etc
I’m not willing to risk it, I need my phone for more important stuff than BPB’s data collecting.
iPhone's while claimed to be IP67 or whatever it is, aren't actually covered for water damage in the warranty
It’s still an absolute pain when the phone won’t charge because it has detected water in the charging point
@@sambillyard6541 I had this a lot with my last iPhone
Has the waterfall in the skull mouth been removed from Valhalla?
It seems like it
Brilliant vlog
Thank you 😊
Great Vlog :-)
Thank you 😊
For anyone that's interested here's the advert in question 😅
ruclips.net/video/w9J_q2OUzis/видео.html
Another fantastic video as always 🙂
Love it haha! Thank you for watching :)
@@yourexperienceguide Haha!, you're welcome 🙂
I love the grand national ❤
Best woodie in the country 😊
@@yourexperienceguide yes best oldest woodie defo ! 👋🙌🙌🙌
Is a quick workaround for the etickets to sign in the app on both phones or does it log you out of one when you connect to the other?
I had to use the app for my ticket, and the website in my chrome browser for my son. Pain in the backside.
Good words
The end of bowlingo
They removed sega hod scarlet dawn
Certain it’ll be coming down
vote for change with your feet I say. Blackpool PB needs to each shape up or ship out and let property developments build flats. Icon aside, very little there, and i am a fan but also a critic. Change, investment, buy up more land, move with the times. Less people who visit might get the message.
What land they going to buy? Roads run around the park, there’s the sea front and houses.
What are you on about? The only issues are the ticket system and the fact some rides have been removed and not replaced. BPB is one of the UK’s best amusement parks.
Those paper etickets will be useless once Vahalla opens 😅
We’ll get one before and after riding it 😇
@@yourexperienceguide Used to love the Black Hole Waltzers...why did they get rid?
@@flaw3dgenius222 Not sure in all honesty
There the day before. The e-ticket system is shocking. 50:50 if it works. They really need to just have it scan to get in, done. Making everyone suffer because of the odd OAP going to watch the money hole ice show. Grumble over 😅
It needs to be binned
Im going on the 8th of april i hope i see you there
Have a great time, we’ll be in France that weekend
They should ban people going for wristbands when you don’t them it defeats the object of going digital
What does “when you don’t them” mean?
hey guys can u come to pleasure beach 8th or 9th of april thx
We’ll be away
Come on Scott 1 min 25 seconds into your vlog advert video comes up I had to skip
RUclips content creators are paid through ad revenue, without it we'd all be uploading on different platforms which aren't free to the viewer. Costs me into the thousands to put out regular content every month.
Coming down next week from Scotland and I think I'm just missing Valhalla launch 🥲 the wait continues
It’s expected to open from the 7th but never rule out a soft opening
@@yourexperienceguide would be very ideal, is there any sign of anything being done to it still when you have been?
@@saffrongames Just testing mostly, have had word today it'll not be before the 7th
Poor man's theme park worldwide
Been called worse 🤩
