Big One evacuated

Badly worded heading from LancsLive...

Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach breaks near the top down forcing people to climb down

Am I misremembering, or did we not use to have a thread for local media reporting routine evacuations as catastrophes?

Reports of the riders being charged an extra £20 for their "Walk the Big One" experience have not been confirmed.

Why is this a thread... It's not like evacs don't happen regularly in the amusement industry, small news. Heck, I've got a few evac creds, Big One being one of them. I've also been on a wheel-check train. I'm sure it's nothing overly major and it'll be back open by tomorrow.

Because local news feeds off facebook and twitter, and is very cheap, that's why.

That was a close call - luckily, they avoided having to endure the ride
