Blackpool Pleasure Beach Roller Coaster Challenge VLOG | April 2024

[@manchester1972]

Great to see Mike again.. And a good enjoyable vlog.. Cheers.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 🙏

[@loftlegacy]

We went on Friday. It was my first visit for about 10 years and the first as a dad. Thank you Scott for your encouragement in a recent reply about taking children to the park. I was bowled over what a good day we had, including lots of misty eyed childhood nostalgia from me. The rides were great but the staff were amazing. How friendly were they all. The park was really clean and well maintained on the whole. Got to say the National was very rough but still fun. Regretted going on Icon after a foot long Rollover dog and it nearly made a reappearance! Saw a car getting changed on the ride which was fascinating. Was green after so glad I didn’t go on the Enzo. Can’t wait to go back.

[@ATFOTP]

Great video 👏 You recommended I give it a watch on Twitter. Really helpful!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Brill 😎 There’s a lot of BPB videos on here

[@aaronwhiteside8887]

Cheers guys ... Excellent as ever, i do fear for the future of 'Pleasure Beach Resort' as it holds many great memories as i know it does for you guys as well! I guess time will tell

[@yourexperienceguide]

Me too mate, not sure how they’re going to get things back to how they should be

[@robwilkinson11]

Another brilliant video. Can't wait to go back in June. Thanks guys

[@stamfordplace5]

Great stuff fellas! Look forwards to all the fun up and coming! Cheers 🍻

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 🙏

[@jonathangray7087]

Great update from Pleasure Beach near Preston! Shame the Big One sounds rough in places but hope it will improve! 🎢

[@jamieah152]

Enjoyed the video as always. Looking forward to all the upcoming content

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you, Bellewaerde is off for now but still 3 euro park vlogs to come

[@MitchMayhem4]

Great vlog again guys and great to see Mike the legend!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 🙏

[@tinkymelsadventures89]

"Well guess what Mrs Lewis" absolutely killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 As if Mike didn't do a spot of steeple chase dancing 😂

[@yourexperienceguide]

Haha 😂

[@aldorfc220]

Love the channel especially a Sunday can binge a few of these lol

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 🙏

[@MichaelClarke89]

That travelator comment cracked me up 🤣, another great video 😊

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 😊

[@adamtrue7691]

Great video. I enjoyed this one as it was fun seeing whether you'd make the ALL COASTER achievement that day. I didn't know that the larger seats on Icon (which I use) are taken off when ENZO appears so I recon that Mike should get the ALL COASTER credit!

[@yourexperienceguide]

The way they handle running enso on the quieter days has been known to annoy people

[@Andy5634]

You do an amazing job scott dont change a thing on the channel.also yes more of mike in the vlogs x lookin forward to future vids 🎉🎉🎉

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you Andy, get criticism for being positive, and constructively critical so I’ll never win 😂

[@mark-wilson.]

brill enjoy these and nice to see mr mike.....

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you, lots of videos with Mike in May and July 😃

[@firecastex]

I'm a larger person and I do wonder what size is Mike to give myself an idea of what i could fit on if i visit Pleasure Beach myself.

[@michaelsullivan1631]

NICE TO HAVE FINALLY MET YOU TO SAY HELLO, REMEMBER I SAID I DO THE CAROUSEL, EVEN THAT WENT WRONG ON FRIDAY MUSIC CONKED OUT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE GOING TO DO AWAY WITH THE ORGAN SYSTEM AND DO IT FROM A TRACK MACHINE, LIKE ON THE ONE FOR LITTLE KIDS BY AVALANCHE THAT I DO AS WELL.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Good to meet you 🙏

[@jacobshaw8825]

BPB surely have to be concerned at what seems to be a lack of visitors? Understand that this was a Thursday btw. Great when you can just walk on rides but it cannot be good for the park. Haven’t seen one picture or video of a busy park this season. £15 walk around ticket is surely a no brainer at this point.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Sadly it’s been almost as quiet on some weekend days 😢

[@jacobshaw8825]

@@yourexperienceguide do you think there is genuine cause for concern?

[@tomcousins7351]

Cant wait for the america videos. Great vlog as always 👍

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 🙏

[@briandennehy9296]

I saw you going into Steeplechase. I would have said hello but you were filming Really quiet day apart from that one school trip.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Hope you had a good day

[@dbgaming5952]

Scot I like that backing track you use!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you, nice one off Epidemic Sound

[@dbgaming5952]

@yourexperienceguide I don't know I just like backing music. Sometimes a terrible film could be made good with a great soundtrack. I even have imascore in my playlist.

[@sambillyard6541]

Far too positive 😂 Looking forward to May vlogs, event and hyperia opening especially

[@yourexperienceguide]

Haha season passes revoked

[@paulclover2839]

Good blog as always thanks👍

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks 👍

[@LauGarSifu]

Did all 10 last Friday afternoon in a quick 2hr visit on the way to Winter Gardens

[@yourexperienceguide]

Hope you had a good one 🎢

[@RareProGo]

I went Saturday and I could do all the rides by lunch , it was so quite in the morning 🙂

[@yourexperienceguide]

It’s sad how quiet it is

[@keiranhyre750]

Brilliant vlog

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 😊

[@MrDanrob82]

One of only a few that dont make the vlog all about themselves, AKA coaster crazy (me me me me me)

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@gray3248]

hi i came and said hi on the pleasure beach express 😄 whats pleasure beach doing for the big ones anerversary??

[@yourexperienceguide]

Nothing has been announced so far sadly

[@Deltic55-mw4bo]

Whats this about a new slc? I'm not complaining mind, I quite like infusion.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Just a rumour that’s floating around

[@Deltic55-mw4bo]

@@yourexperienceguide Any idea where?

[@yourexperienceguide]

@@Deltic55-mw4boAll I’ve heard is that a UK park has bought an SLC from America which recently closed down permanently

[@JesusIsLord105]

Nice vlog. Bet you enjoyed steeplechase and infusion the most. Any plans for a meetup at Blackpool Pleasure Beach Pleasure Beach Resort Pleasure Beach Blackpool Pleasure Beach Lancashire Pleasure Beach South Shore later this year?

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you, no events at BPB this year

[@jakehenrymills1234]

When is the alton towers event please thinking of taking my daughter thanks guys

[@yourexperienceguide]

Hi Jake, it’s sold out. It sold out within 15 mins - Scott

[@annaparry.]

I might have missed it but I'm curious as to why you cant ride the icon enzo train? What makes it different from the other one regarding sizing?

[@yourexperienceguide]

Seats are smaller than the back row seats

[@Vickix1185]

I was wondering this too! Well, that rules Enso out for me seeing as me and my chunky thighs need the back row! 😞 Thank you for the answer 😊

[@platinumsandtrophies8625]

Are you gonna do voltron before the america trip or wait until after to go to europa park

[@yourexperienceguide]

Probably be a late summer trip now

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Great vlog guys and good to see Paul

[@MrDanrob82]

Pleb

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks Andy

[@hellonpluto]

Does the park open before the rides open like at alton towers or does it open at 10am on the dot? Going bank holiday monday and wondering what time to get there for.

[@yourexperienceguide]

They usually stagger the ride opens in the first hour

[@heather1980]

All I want to know is where you are going to eat for my next visit to Blackpool?

[@yourexperienceguide]

Where you're going to eat?

[@Wickerlad_2002]

Do you recommend booking in advance to visit Blackpool, we are visiting in May

[@yourexperienceguide]

For park tickets it’s always cheaper booking in advance

[@charmlighter]

Did you guys as larger built men have any problems with the harnesses ??? I’m worried about going

[@yourexperienceguide]

I didn’t (Scott) but Mike held off doing Infusion & ICON on this visit

[@charmlighter]

Thank you … just don’t want to do the walk of shame if I don’t fit ..

[@Amy-hn5jt]

You should do an “every ride” challenge, Alice in wonderland, ghost trains etc and see if it’s possible 😂 (on a quiet day of course). Or even an every small ride challenge

[@yourexperienceguide]

That would be fun actually 😅

[@ImTheAnteh]

Did you get invited to Voltron opening?

[@yourexperienceguide]

No, Sean (Lift Hills), Marcus (Thrill Riders), Blooloop & Theme Parks UK were the only UK attendees. I was unable to regardless, but will be going soon 😊

[@ImTheAnteh]

@@yourexperienceguide I do find it weird that you and Tpw didnt get invited to ride and review. Same with Top Thrill 2, only smaller channels got invited to media event 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@yourexperienceguide]

@@ImTheAnteh I’m happy Sean was invited, he’s been working with the Mack family on a few things that aren’t all public. I’m honestly ok about not getting an invite, I genuinely couldn’t make it last week so it’d have been wasted on me.

[@richardwillcock5768]

If I couldn't go on a ride because of my size that would defo kick start my diet

[@christopherthomas3403]

Exactly.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Maybe so, but the point being the Enso train reduces capacity and reduces how many can ride whilst on a one train service.

[@mozzamorrison8478]

I really hate seeing the park in the state that its in, theres far too much money that the park needs to spend on repairs, ice blast...river caves...big one retrack....i cant see BPB recovering from it

[@yourexperienceguide]

It's a sad situation

[@wattstransportenthusiast621]

I would say it took you till 1:30-2pm

[@yourexperienceguide]

Once we took a break it took us until 3 ish

[@rjskippy935]

5pm for all

[@yourexperienceguide]

4pm Nick Land

[@boefol]

How much does bro go to this place

[@yourexperienceguide]

We have season passes. Last time for a while now though.

[@thellamaking7248]

Next challenge should be Grand National All Day Long

[@yourexperienceguide]

Lol hmm 🤔

[@evostu7814]

Just get shot of the big one, it’s had its day & pleasure beach don’t need this money Pitt. Now Thorpe park have eclipsed it, time to bring in a new world class ride.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Too expensive to remove and replace

[@Coastsandcoasters]

Am I the only one fearing that Pleasure Beach and all its history is going down the toilet because of a lack of willingness to maintain it? Wish she’d sell up and let someone who cares about the park actually save it for future generations…

[@dylant9963]

Pleasure Beach are still flying ahead as far as maintenance is concerned. They have a large collection of older rides which cost a lot of money and they're all in a pretty good state. There have been some problems this season but overall it's a complete anomaly. Towers on the other hand has a cable car that is broken and a vekoma madhouse which is not operating.

[@yourexperienceguide]

@@dylant9963BPB have far bigger problems than Towers. Grand Prix, Ice Blast & River Caves the public ones, with more closures likely.

[@Coastsandcoasters]

Merlin have the money to fix their problems and can continue to invest. BPBR need to spend a lot, with dwindling attendances, to even keep what they have. I’d be concerned if it was my park.

[@Vlogronator]

Make grand national an rmc

[@jamesneale6210]

Andy Coaster Crazy is the best channel. He has no arrogance. You are all very sad people.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Andy is a friend and regularly attends events with us 👍

[@jamesneale6210]

He seems like a great guy. Unlike Themepark world wide. I enjoy your channel. Mike makes me laugh.

[@jamesneale6210]

I know Andy attends events with you. Seems like you all take the piss out of him and think you're better. You're all just going to theme parks. You're not famous. I think some of you need to remember that. Especially Sean and Jack.

[@yourexperienceguide]

@@jamesneale6210 James it’s banter, Andy regularly comments on my appearance and mannerisms when I see him, and I poke fun back at him. We’ve both worked in a construction and engineering environment, it’s normal. Jack has made a career off the back off his channel, and Shawn TPW is probably more famous than most of those who went in celebrity big brother in January

[@Mikeb1001]

@@jamesneale6210We absolutely don’t think we’re better, Andy is a good mate of ours and we know he’ll take this in the humour intended
