    My sister spent the summer behind the till in BPB Canteen! It was seasonal, & she,s on the dole again with a good reference. Yes it shut at 8pm every night & was £50 each just to get in! (want more visitors, sort that bit out!) , but its strange that the lights go on till january, when you assume councils are skint & theres no real summer season anymore.

    Fab video--after not been for about 20 years or any roller coaster for that time got back into it this year in my 50's went to the pleasure beach 4 times had a great time everytime although the 4th time was the best which included Valhalla 2 times in a row with the fire effect working it was great the girl in front thought we were going to burn--Anyway was hoping to get there on saturday but i had my Gallbladder out 5 weeks ago so still not ready to have lap bars pushed down on my tummy or shaken around on the roller coasters(Caz's husband writing this Darren)

    I thought that operations were first class yesterday. Apart from the Big One they kept the rides open later than 4pm in South Park too we went on Avalanche at 4.20pm and Icon was still open. Everything was kept running the staff were in good spirits and pushing the trains out quickly. The only issue for me was the number of food outlets closed I think they got caught out it was really busy and there were long lines for people to get something to eat or drink.

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  22 дня назад

      Aye staff were great yesterday. Big one was mainly down to the single train. Think it was a bit daft putting two in maintenance so early 🙈

    • @coaster_dad

      Hey, thank you! I don’t specifically do meet ups. It’s more just random meets at parks. Obviously there are key days like first and last day of the season, ride openings etc. and yeah something decent north of the border is desperately needed but I can’t see it happening any time soon 😔

    @StefanTompsett 22 дня назад +2

    The park is looking tired, I think that if she wants to start branding it as a resort then she really needs to invest the money into the park.
    Also think instead of another hotel she should continue with the air b and b style accommodation where the shop fronts are on the south side of the park.

    Yeah worst visit I've had this year. Icon, revolution, big dipper and obviously ice blast was shut (also big one but i understand the wind issues) if it wasnt for valhallah it would uave been a write off. And i know it keeps getting said but its just getting stale. They need a big new attraction at least to get me back. I really want to love the place as much as i did but its hard at the moment

    If your year had no new investment in rides/attractions and several of your existing rides are now not operating then your park is in decline. Hopefully they will be able to reverse this trend for next year. Great video as always.

    40% of the rollercoasters at Pleasure Beach are from the 1920s or the 1930s. The park is beyond desperate for investment. I get the nostalgia, but they need to flatten most of the rides and join this century. On a positive note, Icon is great.

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  18 дней назад

      They can't allow people to enter and walk around. They're under police orders, because drunken football fans would often show up and be a nuisance. Which was especially off putting to families with young children.
