Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

Oooh, so there could be some sort of fancy glass floor in the shop too for the track to go under.

As cool as that could be, I wouldn't get your hopes up I'm afraid!

Okay, since this has been discovered, he can't really keep it a secret much longer. I expect all information will be announced in September.

What has been revealed about the ride itself we didn't know before? All this has shown is that a website is being set up for Project 2018, which we already knew existed. Pretty sure this secret could be kept for a while longer.

How do people reckon the ride will be on the throughput side of things?

I would hope for three trains given that most Mack launch coasters seem to run three or more, and with two launches that should be possible.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

I agree with 3 trains, as it has the same number of block sections as Helix looking at the plans. 3 x 20 = 60 riders. I would think it would have a throughput between 1200 and 1500 pph.

What makes you presume each train is five cars long? ;)
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

As it's Blackpool I expect the ride will open at Noon with one train, add a second train around 2.30pm then go back to one around 5pm (assuming the park isn't shut then).
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

No, it wont open at all because there is a breeze above 20 miles per hour.

This will probably be the only good ride in the park when it opens...

Umm valhalla would like a word with you...

Ha in all seriousness I think the park allready has a great line-up. Valhalla, Sky Force, Wild Mouse, Revolution and Nash are all fantastic rides in my opinion. This will just be another great addition to the line-up. They really do need to get a good drop tower though, that's something sorely missing from the park. Ice Blast is pure trash.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

Ahh forgot about Valhalla.

I like ice blast, but an Intamin drop tower would be way better.
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

How do we know that those plans are legit? Who submitted them in the first place?
 
Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018

^ I believe some CFers with inside knowledge have somewhat confirmed them to be accurate.

No there was a "high dive" before the break run. What the heck is a high dive?

High Dive is the term Mack use for a Stengel Dive
