Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach
Wallace and Gromit is quite a big IP, so I'd imagine they'll have to do a good job of it. Also, wasn't it originally meant to be opening this summer? The signage says opening 2013, which gives them quite a while to completely change the ride.
I'm just glad to see some investment going into a dark ride in the UK, it doesn't have to be amazing to be the best dark ride in the country.

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach
It was decided quite a while back that it wouldn't be ready for 2012, it was always going to be planned for 2013, due to the changes being made to the actual location of the ride being a bigger job than originally expected.
It'll be another good investment for Pleasure Beach, pretty much like everything else since Infusion.
A new coaster will be the priority after this, I am 100% certain of that.

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach
I was talking major developments, not filler attractions.
I seriously wouldn't pin your hopes on a new ''thrill ride'', it's quite evident that the current owners don't see a great attraction to them or we'd of seen at least one of them added since 2004.

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach
By thrill ride I think they mean "flat ride".

Oh, and Lofty is wrong, W&G are Fab <3
Bonus points to Marc. The obligatory PBB fountain gag made me chuckle.
Also, as nobody has mentioned it for at least a page or two *cough*suchacred*cough

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach
I was talking about flat rides, not coasters. Infusion was a major development to Pleasure Beach, just because it wasn't a gimmicky ride like Alton Towers often build doesn't mean it shouldn't of been considered as a major change.
Pleasure Beach aren't likely to put it in any flat rides, they are more likely to focus on family rides like W&G and a new coaster.
I still don't get the obsession with PB having a fountain, plenty of other theme parks have them.
