Remembering the Virginia Reel, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Planet Coaster recreation

This is my recreation of an old classic ride from Blackpool Pleasure Beach which operated until 1982. This is the first time I have recreated a ride that I never had the chance to go on so I'd love to hear from anyone who actually rode it, to see if I did it justice.

Cheers just watched this..not sure if people realise the time and effort that goes into creating these recreations..Well done..my first experience of the reel was age 14 on a Bank holiday day out..I remember the last bit was the best 😅

[@arthurperno292]

I remember watching the reel when I visited the park with my mum and dad but coasters terrified me at that stage so I never got the chance to ride. Wish it was there now so that I could have a go.

Fantastic recreation. I was born in 83 wished it survived up until 2000s, the next ride i would love you to recreate is the greatest show on earth which is now burger king

[@arthurperno292]

Thanks for watching. I definitely want to do greatest show on earth but I've not worked out how to do it yet with the ride types available in the game. I'll work it out eventually.

Going further back, who remembers the vhs vs betamax wars?😂

Great recreation of a classic with very little photos and footage out there. I think you’re done the Virginia Reel justice

[@arthurperno292]

Thanks mate

[@shyannedianne1962]

That was fantastic and it pricked a memory of riding it with my Dad but I don't know for sure and sadly I can't ask him :(

[@arthurperno292]

I remember seeing it operating on one of my early visits to the park. Wish I'd have had the bottle to go on it at least once. (I was terrified of coasters when I was young, can't get enough of them now)

[@AlfieManning-vh6dj]

Such fantasies!!

[@arthurperno292]

Awsome build man. Ive always wanted to see a classic virginia wheel. But i haven't built anything in a while. I'm half way through building a classic scenic railway. But I wish planco had mods so we could actually get these coaster cars. Great build.

[@arthurperno292]

Thanks mate. Fingers crossed that we eventually get Planco 2 which will hopefully let us do a lot more things.

[@poopsitoutgaming7575]

@@arthurperno292 I would be happy if they just continued building onto planco. Tmtk on console, and adding more dlc. Like water rides.

[@arthurperno292]

@poopsitoutgaming7575 yes I'd be happy with any added bonuses on planco to be honest
