I’ll never forget the re-creation of the shower scene from psycho in Trauma Towers, although thinking back they definitely just filled a bath full of red water and chucked a mannequin in it face down 😂 so nostalgic it makes me so happy ❤
I worked on the Logflume for the season in 1974 and it was one of the most popular rides along with The Grand National and Big Dipper....those were the days....
When I first heard that the Wild mouse ride and the Gold mine was destroyed and replaced when I was young I was incredibly upset and I didn't even know the log flume was even gone until now :(
I have ridden rollercoasters all over the world avidly since a kid and the Wild Mouse is the only one that actually scared me. Am sure it was safe but it just felt like rickety-rackety death trap!
Wallace and Gromit ride not a patch on Goldmine and out of date already, the Log flume was simple fun and very enjoyable -The Wild Mouse was the best ride ever and everybody knows that...
Oh my,thanks for this,brought so many happy memories of days at the pleasure beach over the years.i remember being terrified of the Octopus ride as a kid,if only I could go back to how it used to be.Good times.
I think the Fun House where you were in your stockingfeet is the amusement that I miss most at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, an indoor attraction that was not rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in the 1990s and Valhalla was built in its place. The Reel went way back in 1982, and more recently the Cable Cars, Log Flume, Monorail, Gold Mine, Octopus, Space Invader and finally Wild Mouse.
The much lamented Reel is probably my most missed ride there. I first caught sight of it on my inaugural family visit there in May 1972 on a very wet day via the monorail. It fascinated me and it took me ten years to return with a friend. Unbeknown to me in July 1982 it was to be its last season, during its 60th birthday too. If only I'd taken a second spin..... wonderful coaster I thought.
My first journey to Blackpool in 1993. Over the years we have lost so many amazing fantastic classic rides. My favourite rides have to be definitely the Water Chute or renamed later on as Vikingar, when Vallahalla was launched. Also a great favourite of my family and myself was the Log Flume. A great thrill seeking ride definitely has to be the popular Walls Spin Doctor. What is the most standing memory of Pleasure Beach Blackpool? Definitely the Gold Mine
The the water splash might have had a mention. Once Valhalla came it's days were clearly numbered, I did get to ride it in what I think was it's final season. From your list the only ride I didn't get around to riding before it went was the Greatest Show. A great list.
Ooh, that Blink ride looks intense!! A bit too intense for me to be honest. Loved the Black hole, the Tagada and the log flume, wish they still had them . I rode the wild mouse for the last time around 2016, came off battered and bruised lol
My dad convinced the wild mouse operator to let my dad ride with my sister on his knee and me in front The seat belt didn't fasten and the operator sent it with the instruction to hold tight. I was rattled so bad I started to get lifted off the seat and I remember my dad grabbing my waste belt to hold me down. I was terrified and couldn't get back in. I finished the ride lying on the front with my legs jammed in by my dad's legs who was also holding my sister in one arm and my waste belt in his other. The look on the operator's face has stayed with me to this day. I was about 10yrs old and my sis was 6. I rode it when I was about 15 and it was the roughest coaster ever. I had bruised ribs and bleeding knees. I've never been on any coaster named mouse anywhere since.
anyone remember the black hole?, indoor waltzer with spins so fast you couldn't move your head forward, shut down in 2005 and for a time replaced with a 4D cinema.
Nice video. So many fond memories of the rides that have gone. My favourites out of your list. The turtle chase, trama towers, wild mouse and the greatest show on earth.
I used to love the Turtle Chase as a little kid. Happy memories of Noah's Ark, monorail, log flume..all happy times in my childhood in the 70's and 80's. The Gold Mine was my all time favourite BPB ride though. I never tired of it and last rode it not long before it closed. So sad it did. As for the Wild Mouse, my back doesn't miss it! One ride not on here is the Tokaydo Express. It was really exciting as a little kid although the last time I rode it when I was in my late teens they'd done something to it and it was insanely fast compared to normal. Great video, thanks.
Hey cheers for watching and such a great comment! I tried to base the rides off my memories and to be honest tokaydo express completely slipped my mind 😂 great ride! I’m Thinking about doing another video around all the other rides I don’t necessarily remember so keep your eyes peeled for that! 👍🏼
@@Tripsngiggles Thanks. My dad and my cousin (thankfully I was too small) went on in the early 80's on the Phantom Chase (I think it was near the Grand National?). They said they were utterly terrified. My worst one was the Waltzer in the Dark. I went on it about 20 years ago and remember a young kid laughing his head off at me when I was leaving as I was ashen faced, feeling very ill. What about the naff rides like the Haunted Swing or I think another dismal one was called Tom Sawyer's Raft? Classic weird moment, some lads let off a stink bomb in the enclosed queuing area for the River Caves...not good!!!
It isn't a day out with out the Wild Mouse any more. I always remember as a kid we would get our White Knuckle tickets from the booth By the Derby Racers, but we had to buy separate ones for that ride as I believe that was classed as a D ride; and then we had a ritual. Start on those (as we were over that way anyway) then straight onto the Wild Mouse. It just wasn't a day out to Blackpool without the near death of the corners and the permanent back ache the next morning, that only the Wild Mouse could give you!
remember the wonderful world of entertainment, loved whizzing round on the fringed cars it was magical..and the wonderful noahs ark it rocked from side to side,they totally should not have got rid of any of these rides
The Virginia Reel is the one I miss the most. The out-of-control feeling was something else - none of the spinning Wild Mouse coasters even come close. You could also say that the Tagada was a lost ride when it was absorbed into Trauma Towers. It used to be so much fun watching and riding when it was open-fronted with the Circus theme, but the ride was toned down when part of TT.
Excellent video, when a video like this is made and the comments are read, you realise how many rides have disappeared. Anybody remember ski jump or astro Twirl? the helicopters, boats, cars and the merry go round in the kids area? What about the Dodgem cars that were in the style of American Football players? I cant agree with all your top 10. Bling was a horrid funfair ride that was totally out of place in BPB and I was not a fan of space invaders either! A shame they got rid of the goldmine especially when you consider that the ride that replaced it, Wallace and grommets Bore-o-matic, is on the same layout. Good vid keep em coming.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting we appreciate it muchly! Haha that’s what I love about the community we all have such varied yet valid opinions! I honestly can’t recall Astro whirl? I’ll check it out for sure! Ski jump was awesome, I might have to update my list now you’ve mentioned that haha! Thanks again for the support mate 👊🏼
@@Tripsngiggles astro Twirl ( or whirl,swirl ) was the ride inside the dome (next to the goldmine ride). Massive wheel with a mesh wall that you stood against and as it got to speed it slowly turned 90° so all that was hold you in place was centrifugation, although you had a couple of grab handles and a chain going across. Even the safety in them days was frightening!! Did you know at one time there were no safety or straps lap bars on almost all the rides right up until the 80s?
@@stevehadfield5963 Oh, that's what it was called! I only ever knew it as "the cage" and Mum knew it as "Hearts & Diamonds" as that is what the shape of the head cushions (such as they were!) were in.
the starship enterprise was a gem aswell 1980 till it was removed in 86 should of kept it along with the ranger and also the monster was a better ride than the 30 second ice blast
I don't know why but I always thought the last one was called Cat & Mouse 🤣. I also remember a ride when I was a young kid like an Octopus, it was black. I've spoke to a few of my friends but they Don't remember it 🙄 maybe I dreamt it.
Massive Valhalla fan, but a classic log flume will always be a fun addition for me, or even something like chiapas! But totally agree Valhalla is brilliant
@@Tripsngiggles Have you been on it since the update? I've seen differing comments. Sone said that they've completely changed a few elements and fixed the timing so that as you're going down drop 3 there will always be another boat coming down drop 2. So every time the splash of 2 land on 3 that used to only happen 1 out of 5 times... Other's have said there is no changes and they just fixed all the old stuff that no longer was working.
Yes, the last Noah’s Ark is at Kennywood, and it’s not SBNO but is very much open and in operation. Also, I believe the last remaining Turtle ride (like Turtle Chase) is still operating at Kennywood.
I mentioned the one at Kennywood as the only one still in operation and the BPB one is SBNO, I just didn’t make it clear enough 😂 you’re the 1st to notice! Haha thanks so much for watching 👊🏼
Inversion Addicts Ah, I see. I just rewatched that bit, and I can see that when you talk about it being SBNO the visuals have switched back to BPB. Anyway, I loved the video and happily subbed.
I have been on the space invaders in Blackpool and just by chance I went on it at bream holiday park also the ride operater was about to tell me the story surrounding it which I stopped him and finished his story off for him
Yeap the wild mouse! And log flume ....very sad !!! Plus disappointing the Thompson family charge just to walk around the site is Alice in Wonderland still there??
Alice sure is still there! It’s in great operational condition too! It’s a shame about the closed park policy but I think it helped with covid measures, maybe we will see free to roam access in the coming seasons again, fingers crossed! Thanks for watching
@@purplesunflower8242 I'm Paul Hunter, 49, and my favourite amusement in Blackpool by far was the Fun House, absolutely loved it, stank of sweaty feet, you had to take your shoes off, only went 15 times before it was sadly destroyed by fire in December 1991. I have fond memories of being a teenager at school wearing the same socks all week having smelly feet at the Fun House on the Saturday where I spent all day with my dad and sister. If only it was still standing today I would drive to the Pleasure Beach from nearby Lancaster just to enjoy eight awesome hours from 10am to 6pm of brown stockingfeet or grey stockingfeet fun that can no longer be had.
@@purplesunflower8242 Please comment about stockingfeet in the Fun House as it makes me very happy. I wasn't here in the 1960s. The number of times you went there and how many hours you spent. What amusements were there and when the building was updated from its origin design with front windows fitted, and that laughing clown. When was the big slide installed?
A good video but you did miss one of the most popular rides, in my opinion, which I greatly enjoyed in the early 1960s - The Whip! I think a lot of your subscribers will confirm this.
Wild mouse was mega....what about the one I can't remember it's name it was near the Greatest show on earth and back entrance. Like a futuristic high speed train.
Wasn't the log flume replaced with Valhalla, that ride don't get you wet it gets you soaked. I miss wild mouse, But they saved a bit of it i sure last time i was there they had a portion saved with cars.
Icon now stands where the log flume once stood. I love Valhalla but would love to see a classic log flume / more water rides at the park! Yes they still have an old log flume car near Revolution! Thanks so much for watching!
I agree with all but bling. That was silly thing there it hurt everytime went on it. But shud have added black hole. Who dunt miss the in dark walzer. But also fun house
Thanks for watching! I used to hate the black hole I can’t do waltzers at the best of time 🤣 I’m working on a part 2 so I’ll make sure yours get a mention!
There not for everone my son isnt as keen as me dad and his sis but uptill i was in late teens i hated coasters. Theres sooo many rides been and gone that were gd lucky worest one they had was only there for a year or 2 spin doctor that was on tom sawuer bridge that was bad. Not only broke down several in day was scary as shit and silly. Im guttered cant take my kids on some stuff like gold mine or noahs ark. Haunted swing isnt the same as wen was a stand alone ride. Im looking foward to video 2.
Wish they kept the ride Bling instead of what we have now with the red arrows, so boring. Never been on bling but looks so much better. Shame that some have gone like the gold mine, again Wallace and gromit is not a better ride. Log flume I wish was there but a good sacrifice as we get a water ride with Valhalla. And the space one I would have liked to go on again. I get some are done being attractions as the park needs updating with infusion 6 the excellent Icon. Still rides there that are long over due in replacing. Get rid of that Grand National, no fun at all, just gives you a back and neck ache.
@@stripeycat1970 I loved the Fun House in my grey stockingfeet, just wish it was still here today. The Reel went 40 years ago in 1982. Now we have lost the Wild Mouse.
I never experienced the whip and don’t really have any memory of the Fun house personally, the video was based on my favourite rides I remember growing up. Thanks for watching pal 👊🏼

Yes it’s unfortunate! Hopefully we continue to see positive additions for the park from now on!
Wild Mouse was one of my favourites, I also loved Noah's ark. I was terrified on that scary inside spinny ride with all the ghosts coming at me
Haha trauma towers was one of the scarier rides for sure 😂 thanks so much for watching!
I miss all of these Rides they were such great fun and I'm glad I got the chance to go on them :))
Thanks so much for watching!
I have ridden rollercoasters all over the world avidly since a kid and the Wild Mouse is the only one that actually scared me. Am sure it was safe but it just felt like rickety-rackety death trap!
The Ranger. Emptied your pockets while it held you upside down.🤣🤣🤣
Black hole in the early 90s with Culture Beat, 2 unlimited blasting out with a smoke machine on the go...Happy days!
Wallace and Gromit ride not a patch on Goldmine and out of date already, the Log flume was simple fun and very enjoyable -The Wild Mouse was the best ride ever and everybody knows that...
Wow! So many amazing memories, No.7 and No.6 🙌🏻💙 I’ve tried explaining the greatest show ride but couldn’t remember the name! Great video
Haha aw thanks so much for watching I’m glad you enjoyed! 👊🏼
The wild mouse,the goldmine and log flume should be still there
Agreed! Great rides!
I have boycotted the park since the Wild Mouse was removed on the secret.
Wow, brings back memories. Visited Pleasure Beach in 79, 81 and 83 with my parents. Impsired me to go back with my kids now!
Log flume was a classic.
Absolute classic you're right, thanks so much for watching and commenting. I'm glad I can bring back some fond memories for you!

The video is my top 10. I was only born in the 80’s 🤣 never rode the whip unfortunately 🥹
Wild mouse was mega....what about the one I can't remember it's name it was near the Greatest show on earth and back entrance. Like a futuristic high speed train.
Wasn't the log flume replaced with Valhalla, that ride don't get you wet it gets you soaked. I miss wild mouse, But they saved a bit of it i sure last time i was there they had a portion saved with cars.
Icon now stands where the log flume once stood. I love Valhalla but would love to see a classic log flume / more water rides at the park! Yes they still have an old log flume car near Revolution! Thanks so much for watching!
They should build a brand new wild mouse mark 2.. 10 levels high
I agree with all but bling. That was silly thing there it hurt everytime went on it. But shud have added black hole. Who dunt miss the in dark walzer. But also fun house
Thanks for watching! I used to hate the black hole I can’t do waltzers at the best of time 🤣 I’m working on a part 2 so I’ll make sure yours get a mention!
There not for everone my son isnt as keen as me dad and his sis but uptill i was in late teens i hated coasters. Theres sooo many rides been and gone that were gd lucky worest one they had was only there for a year or 2 spin doctor that was on tom sawuer bridge that was bad. Not only broke down several in day was scary as shit and silly. Im guttered cant take my kids on some stuff like gold mine or noahs ark. Haunted swing isnt the same as wen was a stand alone ride. Im looking foward to video 2.
Wish they kept the ride Bling instead of what we have now with the red arrows, so boring. Never been on bling but looks so much better. Shame that some have gone like the gold mine, again Wallace and gromit is not a better ride. Log flume I wish was there but a good sacrifice as we get a water ride with Valhalla. And the space one I would have liked to go on again. I get some are done being attractions as the park needs updating with infusion 6 the excellent Icon. Still rides there that are long over due in replacing. Get rid of that Grand National, no fun at all, just gives you a back and neck ache.
The reel would be number one for me.
Nice! Haha never got to ride it, would have loved to! Cheers for watching!
@@Tripsngiggles It was an amazing ride. Alot of us older ones would love to see it back.
@@stripeycat1970 I loved the Fun House in my grey stockingfeet, just wish it was still here today. The Reel went 40 years ago in 1982. Now we have lost the Wild Mouse.
When I was a kid I wanted to go on goldmine but I didn't know it was gons
Virginia Reel looked the best ride they demolished , looks epic , bad
I did like spin dr and black hole
no mention of The Whip or The Fun House..??
I never experienced the whip and don’t really have any memory of the Fun house personally, the video was based on my favourite rides I remember growing up. Thanks for watching pal 👊🏼
I went to blackpool pleasure beach a few weeks ago and the mirror maze was just shut
Yea it’s not looking good for Impossible! Thanks for commenting 👊🏼
