Re: Wallace and Gromit dark ride @ BPB 2012
Am I the only one actually looking forward to this ride? Goldmine was shiite.
I really like Wallace and Gromit and there's loads of ideas you could do with this. I think it will be a massive improvement and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

This ride will be missed but my biggest problem with them getting rid of this is they'll still have the huge Gold mine themed building to sort out.
I fear with that, they'll do something similar to what they did with Space Invader which is put a badly done cover over the front of the building but leave the rest as it is.
Why couldn't of this gone in Trauma Towers? That buildings sitting empty at the moment and pretty easy to retheme.

FOUNTAIN!
(Sorry, it had to be said)
In seriousness, though, I expect a thrill attraction in that park soon. It's been ages since the last one, and the management knows it. Not necessarily a coaster, but something to satisfy the demand. Something big and mechanical, preferrably.

Pleasure Beach's Facebook Page is asking "what kind of ride would you like to see built here at Pleasure Beach Blackpool in the near future. A new coaster? A thrill ride?"
Most of the 273 (and counting) replies are saying rollercoaster, with quite a few asking for a Launched one.

Re: Wallace and Gromit dark ride @ BPB 2012
I am not convinced this is even going to be a Wallace and Gromit attraction, there seems to be more people saying it won't be, than it will be.
There was a coaster club (either RCCGB or CPB) which were told by PB that they are replacing the Goldmine with a coaster, so maybe they are going for a family coaster and will be getting rid of the Goldmine building altogether, but I really don't know what to expect, the fencing they have placed around the area suggests some major structual changes are likely.
I've got some very reliable sources within PB and even they are keeping quiet this year, so whatever it is, is being kept very secret at this moment in time and I do hope that we are pleasantly surprised once they do announce it.

Re: Wallace and Gromit dark ride @ BPB 2012
Amanda (first name terms now, lol), told me at EAS that they are not getting any new coasters. Of course, she could be throwing me off the scent but her reply was very quick and the tone of her voice seemed genuine.
I'll do some more digging and get back to you.

^ No but I did her shout "JOHN!" which was fab.
Trying to stay on topic, the Gold Mine takes up a large area so I can see why a coaster is being touted. I can't see a coaster happening, it's more likely going to be a themed track ride with an indoors play area.

The fence has been painted beige.
The replacement ride will not open until 2013.
I've been asked to keep schtum. However, I can confirm that it's not a fountainp) and the plans look good.
I'm concerned that the charm of Gold Mine will be lost forever.
