  • We discuss our thoughts on the new attraction/s coming to Pleasure Beach Resort that will take the park to 'unprecedented heights' and interpret what this could mean. Could Pleasure Beach Resort be getting a UK's first rollercoaster or flat in addition to infrastructure including the possibility of ANOTHER hotel at the resort?
    Speculation over ridiculous rumours in this particular video as we discuss mindset, park operations, stepping away from heritage and proving a point as all factors that point towards the next investment at Pleasure Beach Resort being one of their biggest to date!

    The biggest win for BPB would be getting an RMC - at the end of the day, any park (within reason) can compete for the highest rollercoaster - there is only one "first", and Thorpe would not be able to take it away from them. It'd also be a massive middle finger to Thorpe because they've been hounded for an RMC for nearly a decade at this point, 'cos we all know the thusies are foaming at the mouth for one - it'd easily take a decent chunk of their thrillseeker clientele...

    Watson Road was going to be the location for the launch of an Intamin Rocket, for which the prom was prepped for the three-footer top hat. The removal of Grand Prix, with the adjacent, unused Monorail station, frees up the overpass for a coaster station/launch, rather than having to use the road beneath, and the track will be at the right height to cross the road and tramline to the prom. Whatever Amanda has up her sleeve, I guess the customer data from the installation of Icon shows that a new, big, coaster is the best way forward.

    And secondly a top hat on the seafront seems like a maintenance nightmare, the sea spray would surely half the life of the steel.

    Hi Sean I picked up a park map at the weekend and Grand Prix was removed from the map but Ice Blast was still on there and listed. I would have thought they would have removed it as well if there were plans to close it for the season.

    • @LiftHillsandThrills
      @LiftHillsandThrills  5 месяцев назад +1

      Hey there! So initially the rumours were that it was leaving by 2025 and operating in 2024, seeing it closed on opening day had people speculating it was leaving early but it looks as though despite plans for it to be removed discussed internally the decision has been made to invest and repair and see if it lasts the season and beyond. That's the update at the moment, naturally these things change a lot but I have a feeling that 'ridiculous rumours' suddenly backed them into a corner to the point where keeping it to prove a point prevailed over removing it as it's knackered

You can they might convince zamperla and have it 10ft taller? It be a cheaper investment for Breaking the height and possibly speed record again and won't take up a massive plot of land.
      Maybe they do a double package with zamperla, install one of them then get rid of pizza kitchen or just relocate it and build a zamperla spinning coaster like the one at Cedar Point in that plot of land.

Ice Blast was set to be removed you’re absolutely right but it looks as though a very recent decision has been made to keep it running for this season at least. They can afford a lot more than you think with the council intent on sprucing up Blackpool with numerous multi million pound Investments in town support. Not a clickbait title just common business sense, they’re not stupid, they know the competition, they know the market and despite some poor decisions along the way they know this needs to be something big or the parks future is in jeopardy. Would you really put the parks future in the hands of a flat that no member of the general public give a fucking fuck about? I look forward to discussing this in a year or two when we know more.
