Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

It's not the coasters that I don't like it's just that the colors of all the rides do not work well together and it ends up coming off as just ugly. Also it's not like any of those coasters are very good anyways so...

Infusion, yeah, PMBO better than Infusion but still yeah. Big Dipper never fails to leave a smile on your face though!
 
Everything at Blackpool apart from Valhalla and the Mouse is absolute dog****. If you disagree then you really need to go ride some good creds not just big apples.
 
^ I don't think Revolution or Avalanche are dog****, but obviously there's better out there. The woodies, Big One and Infusion are pretty naff though.

Eurgh will people stop hating on the Gnash already. There's enough big smooth steel coasters out there for the rest of you chaps and really not that many (good) old school coasters left, that beat you up just right, for those of us that like that sort of thing. Leave us basics alone and just go ride what you like. There's room for all of us.
 
But it's poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
If you don't get a wheel seat it's not the worst thing in the world but those wheel seats really are bad. I honestly prefer Blue Flyer to Gnash anyway ;)
 
Enough babbling about the old, time for some new. The Immelmann is going in.

I hope these updates are a regular Tuesday thing. At least we know this will have 3 trains, with the block just before the station.

Probably at peak season. Even with 3 trains, it will probably only pull between 750 and 1,000 pph. And the operations at the PB aren't terrible.

Tell that to the people that've suffered The Big One running half a train during peak times - which was several times this past peak season.

I'm so excited about this, the layout is so tight and the transitions look really snappy, I can't wait to watch this fly up. So much has been done already.
 
BPB has some amazing rides, it just depends on what you do and don't like. Grand National is my number 4 coaster, above Kumba, Montu, Nemesis & Hulk to name a few rides that people seem to drool over.

You know, I thought this looked fairly fun the first time I watched the NL2 pov but the more I've watched it, the more I've realised this is actually a really great mixture of a layout. It looks like there should be some good moments of airtime, loads of fantastic headchoppers (of which the video can do no justice), snappy transitions, low to ground sections, well placed inversions. There is plenty there to be genuinely excited about. The only issue with NL2 is that it doesn't really convey speed very well, so it's quite hard to tell just how each of those elements will be taken. 49mph doesn't seem like much on paper, and I know this is more about the "illusion" of speed, but that's the only way I can see this ride falling down in experience.

Those of you who rate Helix, what are your initial thoughts on this? Do you think it'll touch Helix at all in terms of experience?

This is why people don't value opinions from British enthusiasts. Just so you know.

Honestly not that excited for it in terms of it being a top 5 ride. If it were being built in a major European park I honestly would hardly bat an eyelid.

****ing love this picture though, perfect contrast of several different ride styles across generations.

Yes, because we all think like this of course.
 
It's top 3, gave me my best ever ride on a coaster but I had a dog rough ride too. Balder pips it out just for being consistently brilliant when I rode it over 2 days, and Shambhala is hovering there or there abouts.
