[@ClassicwWaldron]

Ye I seen it thanks you

[@aswig9625]

Ive been going to pleasure beach for over 45 years, and my mum went in the 60s when a teenager. She passed her love of the park on to me and my brother. I love it still to this day, the park is amazing and the way all the rides intertwine is what makes it in my eyes. Long may it continue. The way they combine old and new is brilliant.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your memories! We look forward to seeing what the future holds for Pleasure Beach!

[@beardown6574]

What a beautiful park. Great how it's open even in November for those dedicated folks braving the cold 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a great park and we had a wonderful day!

[@wattstransportenthusiast621]

It is highly recommended and family owned since 1896.

[@greendaniday]

It was really lovely to meet you both yesterday! Love that I can see myself and my husband on the front row of Icon 😂 Hope you had an awesome day!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Great to see you and thanks for your support!

[@gailplatt7166]

Ive only ever been on Infusion when it was the Traumatizer in Pleasure Land Southport, we went on a quiet day to Pleasure Land and my friend and I rode it 10 times on the trot!!! We just kept on asking them to send us rounds because no one else was there, lets just say I felt very dizzy on my train ride home. I didn't drive back then and it was 3 different ride we had to make to get home 🤨🤣

[@broganandharrison]

Another great video! We can’t wait to visit Pleasure Beach for the first time next year! 🤩👏🏼

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you! Have a fantastic time!

[@gemma6907]

We went on the last day of the season and had an absolutely brilliant day. Most rides were walk on. We enjoyed it so much. We did blue flyer with our little boy who is 18 months so it was his first rollercoaster and he clapped when it came into the station 🥰. He did the same on the Alice ride. The kids rides in nic land were brilliant! We were pleasantly surprised and found them much better than Flamingo land, light water valley and CBeebies land. Food in the pizza place was brill - way better than Alton Towers since Aramark took over. We bought one of those teddies in your video, some mugs a hoody and a bauble. The quality of the Merch has really increased since we last went. Only negative was that we couldn’t find anywhere near the train that we were happy to leave our pram so still have never done the PB express! Disagree with you about ice blast (PlayStation) though; I still love it! We can’t wait to go back to BPB next year!

[@aspeyal8239]

I went on the grand national on the very back row, and yes I loved it! So much so that I was going to ride again in the back row, but the brakes seized up so the ride closed.😢

[@Themepark866]

I love how pleasure beach is open later than other parks I always visit in November

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s great 🤩

@@ThemeParkWorldwide i love your videos and I hope to see more Hyperia construction aswell X

[@JohnDiggins-wj7wf]

The trade off is the don’t open in February anymore

[@Sitereva]

I came here last week and everything was a walk on! Had my first ride on ICON, big one and valhalla! Loved all 3 rides, big one only ran one train and only filling half of it! Got front row on grand national and big dipper. Got back row on ICON!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That’s great!

[@aspeyal8239]

I got back row on grand national and it instantly became my number 1.

[@wattstransportenthusiast621]

Love your videos guys. Hope you both settles in well, got a feeling Mands is doing not just the first drop but chain lift to extend to keep the title of the tallest in the uk when hyperia opens. Hope she does to preserve the 128 year history of the park.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@SonicBoom123-x6q]

Blackpool pleasure beach is one of the most iconic places in the UK no pun intended with the Icon ride

[@tomothomp13]

I remember watching your 2013 blackpool vlog when Wallace and gromit ride was still being built. I am a big blackpool fan as I grew up with your content I love your videos man keep them coming 👍👍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much!

[@garyshethers9834]

Blackpool Pleasure Beach needs a B&M coaster, as that would attract even more people.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I’d like to see them add another steel family coaster next!

[@liamrankin1976]

yes i got stuck in the blue streak family coaster and couldn’t get out😮

[@LUKAS-RACING]

Gerstlauer bobsled comes to mind

[@thrillseekers_united]

Maybe they could attempt a family B&M Dive Coaster As an Experiment

i was actually here, it was almost surreal seeing one of my favourite theme park youtubers in person, saw you in the corner near the ICON entrance and i noticed you filiming the Big One when i was on Steeplechase

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much. Hope you had a fantastic day!

[@jakegibbard]

I’m off to Pleasure Beach for the very first time two weeks today and I could not be more excited. Also going with someone who’s never ridden a roller coaster before so very interested to see what they think 😅

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have a fab time!

[@SonicBoom123-x6q]

The Flying Machines are amazing really nice ride along with exactly the same for the Derby Races for the same reason

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Such a classic 😍

[@mousecharger]

One thing I've always taken away from you that whenever going on a woody to always ride on a non wheeled used to hear the Grand National as it was so uncomfortable but now riding on a non wheeled is amazing feeling including the Big Dipper so if it wasn't for you mentioning this in your vlogs I never would have known this so thanks guys

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, it’s definitely the best way to ride them!

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

My last visit to BPB was November 2021 on a glorious sunny day very much like this. Really would love to see the park consider bringing the walk round ticket back, it will make so much more foot trafgic and revenue and encourage more families who might not be able to ride every single ride or just enjoy the park and opertunity too.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It would indeed!

[@thehighwires9851]

I loved visiting Blackpool Pleasure Beach earlier this year! I found it really interesting that the height restrctions don't tend to follow the same pattern as those in other parks. My eldest was so excited that he could ride ICON, The Big One and Infusion whilst being 1.38m tall... he's been trying to grow for those big rides for ages! W e all thought ICON was a great coaster!! Infusion beat us up as expected, but we loved the Wallace and gromit ride and Valhalla. I was also impressed that we got some really good value Avalanche merch there. It was well worth the 4 hour drive! Well done Blackpool!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We’re glad you had a good time!

[@Yonel6969]

We need more big mack coasters in the uk, they are too good and hyperia looks mad

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We can’t wait for Hyperia 🤩

[@graemecassidy5647]

A mega-lite, like Alpina Blitz, would be fantastic at a smaller park.

[@badmoonrising7795]

Big mack 🤣

[@Haazza]

@@graemecassidy5647would be perfect at somewhere like drayton manor or oakwood or even paultons park

[@Haazza]

We need a Mack extreme spinner at Alton towers please 🤞

[@LauzieLooC85]

I first rode ICON in July 2018 and I have to say it's my favourite coaster, it absolutely took my breath away!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Epic ride!

[@richywiggins3845]

We had a fantastic day at Pleasure Beach on Sunday, it was cold and wet so we wrapped up warm, put our waterproofs on and got on lots of rides. Credit to Pleasure Beach the big one closed mid afternoon because of the weather, however once the wind dropped they reopened so we could get our end of season rides.

[@oscarmorris6736]

Gorgeous clear day at Blackpool Shawn. Outstanding VLOG my friend. Spent the day at Six Flags Knotts Berry Farm Tuesday, ugh! I'll never get use to saying that. Had five rides on XCELERATOR, soft open, I must say, the launch is very snappy, more than before.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. Love Knott’s so much!

[@Couch_potato123-w5g]

I’m glad it’s still open in November

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It keeps those thrills going!

[@petesomebody7389]

I remember when PB used to be open til 11pm during illuminations, was so relaxing sitting on the Tom Sawyer raft ride (under log flume) just taking in the lights 😊😊😊😊

[@Ohyeahyeah-or8sq]

When I was little, I left Chips in the back of my grandad’s car and they went mouldy and rotten.

[@SonicBoom123-x6q]

Wallace and Gromit Is Cool and it is one of the best dark rides in the UK

[@timduncan9745]

You missed out not doing valhalla..i was there weekend before you and the sunday afternoon i went and put my shorts and t shirt on as valhalla was walk on..lapped it 3 times and 1 ride was especially amazing..boat all to myself..every effect working. Brilliant..after 3 laps though i had to admit defeat the cold was starting to affect me

[@liamrankin1976]

cant beat blackpool everyone calls it but you always have a great time 😄😄😄 i’m there the weekend before christmas fir 2 nights have a great time

Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Winter Weekends 2023 at Blackpool Pleasure Beach! We get back on The Big One, ICON, Grand National, and many more classics at this fantastic seaside amusement park, along with bringing you the latest updates. We also ride the classic dark rides and make the most of this sunny November day in Blackpool! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte.😀😎😀👍👍

[@timhart7607]

I remember the whip, turtle chase, gold mine and the black hole the indoor waltzer

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Such Blackpool classics!

[@m_ianO]

There are so many RCT Easter eggs in this entire video. “Charlotte says revelation is too intense for me” and the background which I think was filmed for rct at this park sounds the same as the game 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Love abit of RCT2!

[@toolbum]

I remember Traumtizer, loved it in my youth, also remember the poorly maintained madhouse they had at Southport with the bits of carpet hanging down 😅. Shame about Southport now, it's a shadow of its former self.

I went on icon for the first time about 2 weeks ago x with my bff xx love yous xx

Blackpool Pleasure Beadh Needs A B&M maybe they could replace infusion with a b&m inverted coaster

[@andrewbrazier9664]

Totally agree

[@SonicBoom123-x6q]

Big Dipper is ok and it's one of the oldest Roller coasters in the UK too and it's 100 years old almost as old as the Scenic Railway at Dreamland in Margate

[@brandonrussell2402]

Another great vid of the pleasure beach guys👍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@kevinseymour8793]

Yes Blackpool looks so good on a clear day like that - I would be very happy with an xxl style mouse to hide Alice if space permitted. Do you think Enso will continue - think I saw some of the merch for it on clearance. Look forward to piers and illuminations

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That would be great! I think the park will keep Enso, as they purchased the add on specially!

Can’t wait to get back on valhalla unfortunately couldn’t visit this season but will defo next along with hyperia!

Went today for daughters 11th bday, really felt the woodies in a bad way cause of the cold wet weather 🤢 icon probably one of best rides in UK , one of the best!

Oh no! Icon is a beauty!

[@nbvhoho2738]

Amanda did tweet about the new mack ride at europa park Facebook has so many good images of the park u can index per year Prob 24 a new announcement Due to tech and ai u can design and build fast prob even a way to block the wind so the big one can run more often Norwich has a winter wonderland too If they did more lates open at 1600 U may see less operational days in 24 plus march weekends

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Would love to see some more evening hours next year

[@izaakz12]

Great vlog as always 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you

[@badmoonrising7795]

Shawn, just imagine if bpb bought the for sale worlds tallest drop tower from icon park and ditched ice blast . I know someone had an accident with it but if they could see past that and retro fit seat belts it would be so so marketable. Even though icon was a hit with enthusiasts it wasn’t really marketed that great and had no usp. A ride like that would create such a stir and they would probably get it for a bargain price.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It would be a great addition!

[@midnightmoonlight04091]

Icon was the first big thrill ride I've been on (unless you count Mandrill Mayhem, Galactica or Wicker Man)... closely followed by The Big One an hour or so later because it didn't open until the last 1 hour a half.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Such a great ride!

We love BPB and have exactly the same views as you, can you tell me though what the old track/rail is that runs near the Big One? You can see when you’re on the Blackpool Express and it’s near to the track for a while but you can see it right at the front of the shot as you film near the station for the Big One x

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s the old monorail track!

[@liamperry8486]

I went to Blackpool about month ago and ghost train was in that state then but to be fair Wallace and gromit was in a bad state when I went it looks great now looking at the POV so I'm glad they didn't leave it and leave it and leave it till closed season

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Let’s hope so!

[@cheekyfragrance]

What did you think of Spin Doctor when it was at Pleasure Beach? I never really hear it mentioned anywhere, its almost as if people don't remember it even existed! And for that matter, Bling as well!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I used to really like them both!

[@thewiseman80]

Ghost train upgrades on the door automatically opening for the cars? rode this recently and thought it was less scary and the rides lost a bit of speed as well, couldnt find a review or comparison about it, but much preferred the cars bashing the doors open on the Ghost Train. What do you guys think?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It used to add more to experience when they bashed the doors!

[@FethCharl]

The Wallace and Gromit ride has a lot of down times. From further away you know when it's down if the Wallace and gromit at the front/top of the ride aren't moving

You do indeed!

Always gets me why this music appears on this ride 40:20

[@bronx1999]

Did you guys pick up any signs of Cloggy, the real ghost who allegedly haunts it when you were on the ghost train? It certainly looks extra atmospheric and not just because of the set pieces. Understand the shop under the flying machine is allegedly haunted too

[@Thefootielad-tk5yl]

Hey! Just wondering if you’re going to Alton Towers on the first day of the season? Because I would love to see you!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will be!

[@Mitjitsu]

I do think BPB is going to have marketing issues now that The Big One can no longer claim to be the UK's highest roller coaster. It makes me wonder if they'll modify The Big One so it has a steeper incline at the beginning.

[@Punkz83]

Yeah, unfortunately Ice Blast hasn't been the same since at least the start of last year. I remember it was intermittently closed and having random repairs done to it... As far as I'm aware there was a problem with one of the compressors or rather the exit pipe. They have ran a temporary fix in the way of a bypass, you can see bendy black tubes a little the way up, that were never there before the start of '22 season, possibly a blockage that they can't clear, but that bypass is obviously causing pressure issues, I've had 5 rides on it this year and 4 of those 5 had to be "Reset" before sending it to let the "pressure go down"... seems pointless to try and keep it going much longer, they should just let it go and replace it, it's had a good run.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s definitely time for a nice replacement!

[@SonicBoom123-x6q]

The Ghost train is not the best dark ride on the pleasure beach but still Awesome
