    I was in Blackpool last night and it was very quiet. I parked (for free) on Station Road and wandered down to see the mirror ball - it does make you a bit dizzy! 😵‍💫
    Got the tram up to the tower and had a good walk around without getting even remotely lost thanks to your videos. 🙂

    Hello Steve. A lovely little video to enjoy. Blackpool does look rather quiet. That was some very Good history about the Pepsi Max Big being 30 years old. In it's day it would have been the tallest and fastest of Super Roller Coasters. I bet it still is a Iconic ride to go on and feel the thrill and be scared silly. Thank you Steve for sharing.

If Blackpool Council had your outlook on Blackpool, it would be a far better and nicer place to live. Somebody somewhere, must be responsible for letting the worlds best seaside resort decline into what it has become today sadly. Looking forward to my calendar in my Christmas stocking this year ( thanks wife xx ). All the best Stephen, love your videos and your workl.
